good morning! oh my gosh - i love chihuahuas - i own two of' em...my dear mr. fidel and ms. candy! below is the first adorable teaser trailer for the upcoming flick beverly hills chihuahua (releasing september 26th) which i must go see! although the film is obviously geared towards children (it's being released by disney) anything to do with chihuahuas is a total must-see for me - they are such super complicated (and often bitchy) but oh so lovable little dogs! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
good morning! oh thank heavens it's friday - i wish i could have slept in late this morning but i'll be doing that tomorrow for sure! right now i wanted to feature the upcoming thriller (supposedly inspired by true events) the strangers starring liv tyler and cutie scott speedman which hits theaters on may 30th! it looks totally spooky - although we all know most trailers tend to be on the enticing side (that's their only purpose) but i'm keeping my fingers crossed this one turns out to be decent enough - i've been itching for a good scary movie! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo (this weekend i'd love to go see baby mama - i'm usually not into comedies but since this one stars funny ladies tina fey & amy poehler i know it'll be hilarious!)
good evening! tori spelling is just like her character donna martin to me - totally your annoying friend from back in high school that you genuinely liked (and felt bad for at moments...) but sometimes you would simply have to avoid them at all costs - small doses worked out best! since her 90210 days i've always enjoyed all of her little pet projects & acting stints (i loved her in the house of yes and that show so notorious was really fun) tori somehow manages keep herself busy most of the time (she even has a book out) let's not forget she didn't get all of her daddy aaron spelling's money yet girlfriend seems to work it all out!
i can't really think of anything bad to say about ms. spelling - she does appear to be a good egg at heart (annoying qualities aside) now tori is all ready to have her second baby plus has a new film coming out called kiss the bride! although i'm usually not super crazy about these niche type films which usually feel sub par and so overly crafted for the demographic at hand (this one is for us gays) yet i did get a couple of chuckles out of the trailer (embedded below) plus the two guys starring alongside ms. spelling (phillip karner & james o'shea) are way cute and tori's (sometimes sexy) hubby dean mcdermott also has a part! the film hits various theaters around the country starting soon (here's the schedule)
moving onto an unrelated topic - what did everyone think of american idol tonight?!? i thought david cook totally kicked ass with his rocked out rendition of mariah carey's 'always be my baby' and i loved jason castro with 'i don't wanna cry' - i voted for them both - hopefully tomorrow night it will finally be kristy lee cook's turn to get the boot! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
when matt receives an invitation to high school best friend ryan's wedding he's surprised - especially that ryan is marrying a woman! matt plans to rescue his former love from whatever "she-devil" has trapped him into this huge mistake.
on the other hand, ryan's perky fiancé alex takes quite the liking to matt. is she very cunning, disarmingly ditzy, completely adorable - or all three? as matt tries to rekindle the old flame, ryan is intent on putting out any sparks. ryan dismisses their old romance as just a high school thing, but matt realizes ryan may still be the love of his life. all the while, matt must deal with "his new best friend" alex, the two families, and a hometown he thought he'd left entirely in the past...
good morning! over the past few days i kept noticing this way cool movie poster plastered all over town for a flick called the fall and for some reason it just popped into my head again this morning and i found the trailer and holy crap - it looks freakin' amazing - totally a film right up my alley! it stars cutie pie lee pace who also stars on ABC's pushing daisies as 'the pie maker' (which better be coming back - that show kicked ass) and was directed by tarsem who also directed the cell with jennifer lopez (another visual stunner!) plus it's being presented by two of my favorite directors david fincher & spike jonze - oh i hope the fantasy filled film doesn't disappoint when it opens on may 9th - you must watch the trailer below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
Los Angeles, circa 1920's, a little immigrant girl (Catinca Untaru) finds herself in a hospital recovering from a fall. She strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man (Lee Pace) who captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscapes of her imagination. Making sure he keeps the girl interested in the story he interweaves her family and people she likes from the hospital into his tale...
good evening! tonight i've got retired porn actress jenna jameson (who turns 34 next week on april 9th) starring in a new non-porn film called zombie strippers which will have a very limited theatrical engagement kicking off in april - this looks like one of those it's so bad that it's good type of campy flicks - like showgirls (which i'll admit that i saw like six times in the theater!) i love the tagline they'll dance for a fee. but devour you for free. the film also stars horror legend robert englund who will forever be known as 'freddy krueger' and ms. jameson's boyfriend tito ortiz also makes a small appearance! check out the trailer & kick-ass poster for yourself below along with some gratuitous pictures of ms. jameson out in los angeles earlier this month! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
worldwide media sensation jenna jameson and nightmare on elm street's robert englund star in zombie strippers. when a secret government agency lets out a deadly chemo virus causing the reanimation of the dead, the first place to get hit is rhino's, a hot underground strip club. as one of the strippers gets the virus, she turns into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the club. do the rest of the girls fight the temptation to be like the star stripper, even if there is no turning back? also featuring roxy saint (of the goth band roxy saint and the blackouts) and ultimate fighting champion tito ortiz, 'zombie strippers' is a sexy, bloody, hilarious good time!
hey hey! earlier today i came across the trailer (thanks to my pal JAM) for the new harmony korine film mister lonely (co-written by harmony's brother avi korine) although he's a bit of a dirty bird type character (one of my friends used to work with him and he had some crazy ass stories) i've really enjoyed mr. korine's work especially 1997's gummo which is such a deliciously filthy film (by 'filthy' i mean literal filth aka dust & grime - just watch the trailer) which starred his ex-girlfriend chloë sevigny who also was in his second (very bizarre) film 99's julien donkey-boy (harmony originally burst onto the scene back in 1995 as the writer of kids)
now after almost nine long years we've got mister lonely his third film (delayed due to funding and issues with drugs...) that tells the tale of a michael jackson impersonator played by cutie diego luna (remember y tu mamá también?) who befriends a marilyn monroe impersonator (samantha morton) and she takes him to a secluded haven where everyone is dressed up as a famous someone and they all put on shows together...i know it sounds completely wacky (and probably is just like the jackson clan who are finding themselves in a deep funk at the moment...) but something about the film seems really endearing & kinda sweet plus there's flying nuns! (of course i've embedded the trailer below) the limited US IFC release of the film kicks off on may 2nd - i'll definitely have to go see it out of plain ol' curiosity! (which has been known to kill a few cats...a reference back to 'gummo') i hope everyone had an enjoyable & peaceful holiday weekend - tomorrow it's back to the daily good time grind :( popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
The story, according to the Korines, is of "a young American man lost in Paris. He scratches out a living as a Michael Jackson look-alike, dancing on the streets, public parks, tourist spots and trade shows. Different from everyone else, he feels as if he's floating between two worlds. During a show in an old people's home Michael Jackson meets Marilyn Monroe. Haunted by her angelic beauty he follows her to a commune in the Highlands, joining her husband Charlie Chaplin and her daughter Shirley Temple. A place where everyone is famous and no-one gets old. Here, The Pope, The Queen of England, Madonna, James Dean and other impersonators build a stage in the hope that the world will visit and watch them perform. Nuns fall out of airplanes and children ride ponies. Everything is beautiful. Until the world shifts, and reality intrudes on their utopian dream..."
hey everybody! of course i've heard about the upcoming angelina jolie action-packed flick wanted (which also stars cutie jame mcavoy (from atonement) and morgan freeman) but i didn't actually watch the trailer until tonight - and hot damn it looks freakin' awesome (you can catch it below if you haven't already) i don't know why i didn't watch it sooner - shame on me! (of course we've all been tricked by trailers before...i sincerely hope this is not one of those times) the movie is loosely based on the comic book series of the same name written by mark millar (with art by jg jones) and is directed by timur bekmambetov - i think it could be the hot movie of the summer which is right around the corner (today happens to be the start of spring) ms. jolie is brilliant in action films - i absolutely lovedmr. & mrs. smith (the film that brought brangelina together) however i sadly doubt angelina will be doing a lot of press appearances in support of the film (which opens on june 27th) she'll be much closer to having her supposed fraternal twin babies - a boy & a girl! (possibly in france) yet thankfully there'll be no drummed up competition by the tabloids between angelina and jennifer aniston (like 'jen & angie face off at the box office') jen's summer flick he's just not that into you doesn't open until august 1st (which has a kick-ass cast - although i totally prefer action flicks over romantic comedies any day) popbytes over & out for tonight - thank heavens tomorrow is friday - xxoo!
In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson. 25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself.
hey hey! right now i'm watching american idol which is thankfully only an hour tonight (tomorrow, and thursday too) but i had to share this 'red-banded restricted' trailer (turn down the volume if you're at work but overall it's totally SFW) which was released today for the upcoming film the foot fist way - a small indie comedy (made in only 19 days on a shoe-string budget) about 'fred simmons' (played by danny mcbride) a tae kwon do instructor (be his friend on myspace) whose life starts to unravel (just watch the trailer below - it's hilarious) the film quickly became a smash hit at this year's sundance film festival - now it's getting a proper release on may 30th! this is going to a huge hit - it'll totally be the new napoleon dynamite! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
Self-control, perseverance, integrity, indomitable spirit - that's what it's supposed to be all about at the Concord Tae Kwon Do Studio, where boys are turned into black-belts and suburbanites are chiseled into great warriors, all under the watchful tutelage of proud sensei Fred Simmons. That is, until Fred discovers his wife has been unfaithful and instantly descends into a blubbering mess. OK, so maybe Fred is far more blowhard than kick-ass hero. But when he sets out on a last-ditch quest to meet his kung-fu idol -- the 8-time undefeated champ and star of the "Seven Rings of Pain" trilogy, Chuck "The Truck" Wallace - Fred winds up on a wild, comic journey that will take him from egomaniacal bluster all to the way to becoming the stand-up man of his delusional dreams.
The result is THE FOOT FIST WAY, an uproarious, full-contact comedy featuring one of this year's least likely of heroes. Shot in just 19 days on a credit card-financed micro-budget with a cast of mostly newcomers, the film became an overnight smash at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. There, audiences fell madly in love with the seriously self-deluded Tae Kwon Do instructor Fred Simmons, who talks a big, macho game but falls to whimpering pieces when his wife Suzie betrays him. Featuring the debut of North Carolina native Jody Hill as writer, director and producer and two hilariously tough-yet-tender performances from co-writers Danny McBride as Fred and Ben Best as Chuck "The Truck," the film helped Hill, McBride and Best garner a place on Variety's "Ten Comics to Watch" list.
good evening! when i first heard about this new movie coming out on april 25th called baby mama - i thought it would be a total stinker simply based on the title - but then i realized it stars two of my favorite people ever - tina fey & SNL's amy poehler - they're both so funny! i'm bummed this season of saturday night live was cut short (because of the writers' strike which i hope will be over soon!) but i've been enjoying 30 rock so much - it's definitely one of my top shows - it's so damn witty and filled with tons of funny lines (tina's character 'liz lemon' is hysterical!) if you're not watching - you must tune in to see what you're missing! (i actually just picked up the 1st season DVD the other day) anyways make sure to watch the trailer for baby mama below - i totally laughed my ass off watching it - i must go see the film when it hits theaters! (plus keep in mind comedies are usually not my thing - but this one looks like a hoot!) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
good evening y'all from a very wet los angeles! it's pouring rain outside and now there's a flash flood warning for both LA & ventura counties! i had to make a grocery store run to whole foods and there was way too much water on fairfax - my battery light came on in the car - i almost thought i was going to get stuck but alas i'm home and drying out! (along with the car) i freakin' hate the rain more than anything - and people drive like total idiots - it drives me crazy! speaking of crazy...
oh my word - i still can't believe what went down at britney spears' home last night - it's shocking but not really - something like this was bound to happen - it was just a matter of time before ms. spears had herself a serious mental breakdown - i really hope she's ok - i'm praying that brit can get the help that she so obviously needs! (totally not good times for the entire spears clan...tearful mom lynnejust wants everyone to pray)
moving on i've got the trailer for the orphanage which is now playing in theaters and is being 'presented' by director guillermo del toro who was responsible for the brilliant & beautiful film pan's labyrinth which you must see if you haven't! the orphanage is subtitled in english from spanish - and it looks so damn spooky - i need to take my ass to the movies this weekend and see this! (especially with reports the rain will continue for a few days...ugh - at least it's not as cold as some other places here in the states) i hope everyone has a spectacular weekend - popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
