Blood: The Last Vampire pictures

Under the care of her adoptive family, Saya Otonashi has been living the life of an anemic and amnesiac, but otherwise ordinary schoolgirl. Saya’s happy life is shattered when she is attacked by a chiropteran, and learns that she is the only one who can defeat them. ("Chiroptera" is the name of the order of biological classification that contains bats, probably the reason for the vampiric creatures being called "Chiropterans".)

Armed with her sword, Saya embarks on a journey with her family, allies, and her Chevalier, Haji, to rid the world of Chiropterans and rediscover her identity. The course of the journey reveals the background history of the chiropeterans and Saya's very deep past, which extends into the mid-19th century.

The movie is said to be released June 2008

Girl of the Day: Jeon Ji Hyun

Jeon Ji-hyun (b. October 30, 1981) first became well-known as a commercial model and as a TV actress. Although she made her film debut in the little-watched White Valentine in 1999, it was not until later in the year when she was featured in an advertisement for an audio system that she became a popular sensation. The dancing and attitude expressed in the ad made her into an icon for Koreans in their late teens and early twenties.

After continuing her TV and modelling career, Jeon made her first well-publicized film appearance in late 2000 with Il Mare. A handsomely-shot melodrama set on Kanghwa Island, the film did respectably well at the box office (despite opening on the same day as JSA) and solidified her status as a star.

Jeon's breakout film was comedy My Sassy Girl, which became a huge hit both in Korea and throughout Asia with its tale of a gullible college student and his slightly unhinged girlfriend. The film spent two weeks at #1 in Hong Kong, and turned her into Korea's most recognizable star in the Chinese-language market. Two years then passed before she appeared in her next film, an "occult thriller" titled The Uninvited which wowed critics but failed to catch on with viewers. Throughout this time she was a constant presence in TV ads and on billboards in Korea and also in other Asian countries.

2004 saw her return to the big screen in another film by Kwak Jae-yong, the director of My Sassy Girl. Windstruck cast her in the role of a policewoman, but many viewers felt it was too similar to My Sassy Girl. There were also signs that her popularity had started to suffer because of overexposure in advertisements. Nonetheless, Windstruck became the best-performing film ever in Japan, where My Sassy Girl was not as well known.

Jeon's next project Daisy teamed her with Jung Woo-sung (who frequently appears together with her in advertisements), and drew attention for its 100% location shooting in the Netherlands, and for using the Hong Kong director Andrew Lau (Infernal Affairs). Nonetheless the film disappointed at the box-office and drew weak appraisals from viewers.

In late 2006 it was announced the Jeon would be making her long-predicted jump to Hollywood to take the lead role in Blood: The Last Vampire. The international co-production is the live-action adaptation of a popular Japanese anime

Fast and The Furious 4?

Here’s what we know about the upcoming “The Fast and the Furious 4″ so far: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Jordana Brewster are back. And according to the guys over at Latino Review, who have read the script, also back is Michelle Rodriguez as Letty and Han (played by Sung Kang) from “Tokyo Drift”. Wait, didn’t Han died at the end of “Tokyo Drift”? Yes, he did, but it is believe that “FF4″ will be a prequel to FF3. Or at least, it’ll take place before the last movie. Unless, of course, they make this Han the other Han’s evil twin brother or something.

In short, here’s the rundown of FF4’s Act One (via):

FF4 takes place five years after the events of FF1.

Dom is hiding out in the Dominican Republic after having been let go by Brian at the end of FF1. It’s here that he meets Han.

Meanwhile, Brian is in prison in Arizona. But wait, there’s a twist — Brian is undercover for the feds, and after completing his assignment, he’s back out on the streets.

So what’s happened to Letty, Dom’s sister? She’s been trying to keep the crew from going under in his absence. This includes running drugs via their soup up cars for notorious South American drug dealer Antonio Braga, a man no one has ever seen. After one of her runs for Braga, Letty is killed, presumably by Braga enforcer Fenix.

Dom is told about Letty’s death from Mia via a phone call. He returns to America to attend her funeral. Brian is also there, and fills him in. Brian tells Dom he’s going after Braga. That makes two of them.

And that is your set up for FF4. The Latino Review reviewer calls it the best FF story he’s read in the whole franchise. I’m not sure about that. Just make sure the hot babes and hot cars keep coming, and everything will be alright.

The release date is scheduled for June 5, 2009.

The Joker

Finally the new picture of The Joker is revealed in Empire Magazine.

Batman (Christian Bale) raises the stakes in his war on crime in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.” With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker (Heath Ledger).

Heroes / Slusho?

MATT PARKMAN ATTEMPTS TO MINDBEND SLUSHO – AN ATTEMPT THAT WILL BE DOOMED TO FAILURE!SLUSHO MAKES HRG LAUGHBUT SLUSHO CAN TURN FROM FRIEND TO ENEMY QUICKLY – ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES ON SLUSHO

You may have heard about it — or you may not, but J.J. Abrams (the mastermind behind Alias and the upcoming Star Trek reboot) has a new monster movie coming out called Cloverfield. It’s about a mysterious creature that attacks New York City, and is shot entirely from the perspective of handheld cameras ala Blair Witch Project. So having said that, what does the cast of Heroes have to do with Abrams’ Cloverfield? I don’t know, but Greg Beeman seems to have some insight into it, as he posted these pictures of the cast of Heroes goofing off with Slusho, a fictional product featured in Cloverfield’s viral marketing campaign.

All images from Heroes producer/director Greg Beeman’s blog. Find out more about Cloverfield here.

And the title is...

"Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives."

The controlled release of information on the film has been observed as a risky strategy, which could succeed like The Blair Witch Project (1999) or disappoint like Snakes on a Plane (2006), the latter of which had generated online hype but failed to attract large audiences. Chad Hartigan of Exhibitor Relations Co. viewed the several issues with the potential of the film, including a lack of major stars, the underwhelming performance of Godzilla-style films in America, and the film's slated release in January, considered a "dumping ground for bad films". As Transformers showed high tracking numbers before its release in July 2007, Paramount attached a teaser trailer for Cloverfield, which did not reveal the name of the film, but showed the release date. A second trailer was released on November 16, 2007, which confirmed the title.

Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda features Jack Black as Po the Panda who is a kung fu fanatic whose shape doesn't exactly lend itself to kung fu fighting. In fact, Po's defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. That's a problem because an evil Warrior named Tai Lung has escaped from his prison, and all hopes have been pinned on a prophesy naming Po as the "Chosen One" to save the day. A group of martial arts masters are going to need a black belt in patience if they are going to turn this slacker panda into a kung fu fighter before it's too late.

Showing Summer 2008

Heroes: Cautionary Tales

As Season 2 Episode 9, “Cautionary Tales” commences, things are heating up. The connection between Peter and his new buddy Adam Monroe (aka Takezo Kensei) has been revealed in “Four Months Ago”, as well as the fate of poor D.L. (You would think a guy who can phase anything could handle a bullet, but apparently not so much.) Meanwhile, Mohinder seems to have completely given in to the ways of The Company and his boss, Bob, who is selling himself as a good guy (and succeeding). And let’s not forget, all is not right in the Bennet household — but then again, what’s so new about that?
Claire and HRG clash over West and Claire’s pep rally because, let’s face it, all the world’s wars can be traced back to what happens at pep rallies. Unbeknownst to the Bickering Bennets, Mohinder and Bob have arrived in sunny California with Elle to deal with the HRG problem. And oh yeah, did I mention that Elle is Bob’s daughter? In any case, they better hurry, because the Bennets are splitting town. Well, that was the original plan, anyway, and when you work (or used to work) for the Company, things have a way of changing fast.

Well, that was the original plan, anyway, and when you work (or used to work) for the Company, things have a way of changing fast.
Back in New York, Matt Parkman and a rejuvenated Molly struggle with normalcy. Matt has also discovered a new facet of his power, a new ability he is not entirely reluctant to use on those close to him, like another certain Parkman. The power comes in handy when Matt goes back to an incarcerated Mama Petrelli for some answers. So who exactly is Adam Monroe, and what does he want with the last woman in the picture, the redhead? Victoria Pratt is her name, but what is her game?

“Cautionary Tales” is what we’ve all been waiting for ever since Season 2 commenced nine weeks ago. There is major progression in the HRG-Claire-Company storyline, something we’ve all been waiting for, and the arrival of which comes through like a breath of fresh air. The hectic pacing of the California storyline as HRG struggles to save his family, intercut with the somber, contemplative mood of the Hiro storyline, results in easily the best episode of Season 2 so far.

And how does it end?

Heroes: Four Months Ago

Ah, it’s Fall, when the clock falls back one hour, and Heroes does likewise, only more ambitiously: it rewinds back to four months ago, where we pick up with our heroes as they are coming out of their Season 1 finale haze. Most people said that the finale was too anti-climactic, lacking in the oomph they had been expecting. I disagree. I believed it ended as it should — with a slight bang, but not the wild free-for-all that would have made the show silly or, dare I say it, too “comic booky”. But nevermind all that. Let’s find out what our heroes have been up to — or, actually, what they were up to…
So what exactly happened after Nathan grabbed Peter and flew into the sky? Nothing we didn’t expect. After they reached safety, Nathan let go, Peter went ka-boom, and both brothers, as well as the city, were spared. Peter then used his flying powers, caught Nathan, and took him to the hospital. There, he met Elle and Bob. Or, more precisely, he met one of Elle’s energy blasts.
At the Company’s facility, Peter gets a most indecent proposal from Bob: they can take away his powers for him; all he has to do is agree, which he readily does. We also learn more about Elle, namely that she likes to play, and she’s picked Peter as her new playmate. She’s very friendly that way, Elle is. It’s during his stay at the Company’s facility that Peter meets a new friend. His name is Adam, and he has plans. Big plans. Saving the world type plans.
Still at the hospital, a badly scarred Nathan is confined to his bed, his entire body and face horribly disfigured. Of course, Mama Petrelli is of little help, informing Nathan that Peter is dead, before turning her “charms” on Nathan’s wife, Heidi. It’s a good thing for Nathan that there is someone out there who can survive almost anything, including nuclear radiation scarring and poisoning. Now if only Peter can bring that someone over to Nathan…
The other unanswered question of the episode is: how did poor D.L. bite the bullet? He actually survived that bullet, as it turns out, but surviving Kirby Plaza and Linderman is nothing compared to Niki’s quest to rid her family of Jessica forever. Bob claims to have the answer, but then again, Bob claims lots. Micah, meanwhile, wants to start a superhero group, sort of like the Fantastic Four, minus one. D.L. will have nothing of it, and has already landed a hot job. Literally.
Finally, we witness the birth of Maya’s powers, and it’s not pretty. Fortunately for our mass murderess, the church is a very understanding place. That is, until Jose Law comes calling. As I heard it, Alejandro has always wanted to go to New York, anyway.

And what of Matt Parkman, everyone’s favorite beat cop who, last we saw, was shot to pieces and dying? Um, I have no idea. Parkman is mysteriously missing from “Four Months Ago”.

Also MIA for this episode: Sylar, Matt Parkman, HRG and family, and Hiro.

Heroes: Out of Time

When we last left our heroes, Sylar and the Wonder Twins have made their way to American at last; Hiro’s betrayal of Kensei was returned in kind; HRG and Mohinder continues to go in different directions when it comes to The Company, even as Mohinder gets a new partner in the newly minted Niki. Meanwhile, Matt and Nathan have discovered why Molly calls Maury, aka Parkman Sr., “The Nightmare Man”. And finally, after leaving Ireland for Canada, Peter and Caitlin have found themselves somewhere unexpected — one year in the future, where a vision of doom awaits them.
In Feudal Japan, things are heating up. After delivering that love-tap to the back of Hiro’s head in the previous episode, Kensei reveals his evil master plan: help White Beard take over Japan! Muahahahahaha! Et cetera, et cetera. Fortunately it’s hard to imprison someone who can freeze time. Will Hiro step up to the plate and do what needs to be done? Will he finally fulfill his destiny as a hero? Can he muster up the courage to stop his childhood hero? Is Japanese sake delicious? How many questions can I ask in a row? One word: KA-BOOM!
Back in the present, the heroes are converging: Matt and Nathan arrives at The Company to “protect” Bob from Maury. Unfortunately for Bob, Matt is, well, he’s Matt.
Meanwhile, the creepy West has become even creepier by inviting himself to breakfast at the Bennet household. (When I do it, they call it stalking; when West does it, it’s cute. Go figure.) And what’s a dose of inane plotting if it doesn’t involve scenes of Claire and West making out on the couch while listening to sweet tunes? Oh by the way, West, have you met Claire’s dad? He has the oddest glasses, not to mention a digital camera that looks just line mine. Coincidence? I think not!
Trapped one year in the future, Peter and Caitlin are rescued by men in hazmat suits. Explanations abound: The “Shanti Virus” has run amok in the future, killing 93% of the population, and forcing the rest to live in quarantine. Yes, you heard it right. The Shanti Virus.
As in Mohinder’s little sister Shanti Suresh, who died of the virus years ago, and who Mohinder could have cured with his own blood, as he did young Molly Walker. The virus, incidentally, can also strip heroes of their powers, though it tends to have some nasty side effects — like, you know, death. Mama Petrelli, who is proving very resourceful if not unkillable, shows up on year from now to lend a hand, as well as reveal important information about Nathan’s fate to Peter.

MIA for this episode: Sylar and the Wonder Twins, and Monica and the New Orleans brood.

Heroes: The Line

What is The Company? I’m glad you asked. The Company is a untrustworthy, and some would say evil, private concern bent on doing something nefarious to people with powers. You know, people like you. Interested? The answer is Yes, apparently, as in no time Monica is performing her “memory” trick for Mohinder in The Company’s facility. Enter Bob, who wants to see if his version of The Cure can stop Monica’s powers, and he wants Mohinder to do the deed. See, this is what working for an evil corporation gets you, Mohinder. HRG could have told you that.
Speaking of which, HRG and the Haitian are in Russia, where HRG has an unscheduled appointment with an old “friend”. You know, the last time I said Hi to one of my friends by gun whipping him, we didn’t speak for ages. It’s a good thing HRG’s old buddy is more understanding. But then again, handcuffs and a gun will loosen some tongues. And oh yeah, a superpowered fellow who can steal your precious memories at will might have had something to do with it. Man, HRG really wants those paintings! (Must be because he saw his own death in one of them…)
Claire tries out for the cheerleading squad, but is rebuffed by Evil Cheerleader Debbie because, well, she’s Evil and whatnot. Damn you evil cheerleaders! It’s a good thing West is around to crack jokes. Oh, West, he’s such a wise guy. But he does prove helpful and together the lovebirds hatch a devious plan to knock snotty Debbie down a peg or two. Those wacky kids and their wacky ideas. What will they think of next? Watch out, Debbie, up in the sky — it’s not a bird, it’s not a plane, it’s … a flying mugger?
Back to more interesting things. Sylar and the Wonder Twins continue on their way to America, where Sylar puts the moves on Maya while Alejandro is enjoying some siesta in the backseat of their stolen ride. Or did he? Maybe Sylar was just going for her brain. He’s got a thing for brains, that Sylar. Alas, their entry into the States is blocked by a wall of gun-toting Texas cops who attacks their car like pissed off gorillas in the Congo.
Meanwhile, in Love in the Time of Samurai news, Hiro’s messages in a bottle continues to regal Ando on the story of how he, Yaeko, and Kensei attacked the warlord White Beard and his army of thousands in Feudal Japan. First they have to rescue Yaeko’s father, which as it turns out wasn’t all that hard, although Hiro’s continued infatuation for Yaeko proves more difficult to shake, something that our time-tripping hero is beginning to realize, especially when he literally snatches her out of Kensei’s arms. Oh, Hiro, I don’t think you should have done that, bub, I just don’t think you should have done that, especially to a guy who can’t be killed, and who will probably live a long, long time…
MIA for this episode: Matt Parkman and Nathan Petrelli. Niki Sanders gets a brief cameo, while Peter Petrelli and Caitlin bookends the episode, the latter appearance by the kissing duo setting the stage for the second season’s major story arc. Hint: New York City is in trouble again

Prison Break: Photo Finish / Vamonos

When an inmate is found murdered, Whistler becomes the prime suspect and Michael must prove his innocence in order to save his life; Michael demands evidence from Susan that Sarah is alive, or he will cancel the escape; Lincoln and Sofia monitor the guards' morning rituals; Mahone gets an offer that may get him a ticket out of Sona.

I absolutely loved these two episode. It brought everyone to their "A" game. The reaction that Michael gave when he found out about Sara; Lincoln doing everything to get his son, this includes lying; T-Bag helping Michael; Mahone confronting his demons and a chilling cliffhanger.

House MD: Whatever it Takes

House is recruited by the CIA to help diagnose a deathly ill agent with an unknown illness. The agent's medical case is being spearheaded by Dr. Samira Terzi, who offers up very little information about the agent's history or previous assignments. With limited information to go on, House uses some unorthodox methods to try to crack the code and determine a diagnosis in time to save his mystery patient's life. Meanwhile, Foreman faces resistance from the remaining six fellowship candidates when they question his judgment and argue over the diagnosis of a female drag car racer who passed out after a race.

It was slow but ok. I, truly, love the scene where Wilson thinks that House is lying about the CIA. ^_______^

My Life: I'm Feeling Better

For the past week, I have been feeling a little off. It's due to my health condition, I caught the flu from my students, and it has been affecting my lifestyle. I can't eat, teach, and above that I can't speak clearly. Anyways, I'll try to keep you all updated with my life.

Saw 4

Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead. Upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson) and Agent Perez, arrive at the depleted police precinct and help veteran Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) sift through Jigsaw's latest grizzly game of victims and piece together the puzzle. However, when SWAT Commander Rigg, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), is suddenly abducted and thrust into the madman's harrowing game, the officer has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of interconnected traps...or face the deadly consequences.

Rigg's citywide pursuit leaves a wake of dead bodies, and Detective Hoffman and the FBI uncover long hidden clues that lead them back to Jigsaw's ex-wife Jill (Betsy Russell). The genesis of Jigsaw's evil is unveiled, exposing the puppet master's true intentions and the sinister plan for his past, present and future victims.

I just watched the movie and it did answer some of my questions and by the end of the film I was shocked. Now, I have new questions and hope that Saw V will deliver more surprises next year

Alien Vs Predator: Requiem

Take a look at these photos for the 2nd movie of Alien Vs Predator. It is said that they will stick back to the films original roots meaning less CGI. Which is good news for horror flick lovers. But until the movie opens hope you enjoy the pictures

House MD: Mirror, Mirror

Foreman returns to the hospital and is assigned to oversee House's team candidates. A man is mugged and suffers from a respiratory arrest. He has no memories of who he is, but instead reads the personality of the most dominant person in the room, applying it to himself to create a temporary identity. His accuracy of being a judge of character intrigues House, who manipulates the man to judge others and ultimately judges whether House is more dominant than Cuddy.

House didn't want Cuddy to rehire Foreman, and they get into a power struggle. To waste Cuddy's time, House tells the people in the cafeteria that the food was poisoned, and they should all go to the clinic. Then he orders unnecessary expensive tests for the uninsured clinic patients. In retaliation, Cuddy replaces House's vicodin with laxatives. House responds, "I know when my Vicodin isn't Vicodin. Do you know when your birth control pills aren't birth control pills?"

House realizes that no one is going to back down. (His exact quotation is "No one's going to be happy here... and Cuddy's going to end up pregnant.") So House tells Foreman he got him another job somewhere else. At first Foreman claimed that he was miserable working with House again. But when the patient was mirroring Foreman, he said that he liked being here. Foreman decided he did like being here, and he says he doesn't want House to get him a job somewhere else.

Foreman suggests that House and Cuddy both talk to the patient at once, to see which one the patient would mirror, to see which one is dominant. The patient tells them both to shut up and says that Cuddy has "great ya-boos" (breasts). House takes this as confirmation that the patient is mirroring him (although Cuddy initially tries to claim that's something she might have said as she has always considered her breasts to be one of her best features). When Foreman sees that the patient thinks House is dominant over Cuddy, he considers taking that other job, although Wilson suggests that House was lying when he said he got Foreman another job.

House MD: Guardian Angels

While having a seizure, a funeral-home cosmetician hallucinates that she's being violently raped by one of the corpses she's working on. Later in the hospital, she acts as though her dead mother is in the room with her. Meanwhile, Cameron offers advice to one of the seven candidates for House's team; Foreman has lunch with Cuddy.

• House greets the candidates from his office through a speaker phone and says "Good morning, Angels". This and other lines reference the TV series Charlie's Angels, in which Charlie always addresses his female 'Angel' agents via speakerphone. He also refers to Dobson as "Bosley", the bumbling male sidekick of the three Angels.
• House refers to Jeffrey as "Big Love." This is a reference to the HBO series Big Love about a Fundamentalist Mormon in a plural marriage. As the first one is called like that by House, Amber Volakis (played by Anne Dudek) is called "cutthroat bitch" by House also.
• House gives a "rose" (actually a peony) to each candidate he does not fire. This references The Bachelor.

The Dark Knight: Joker Pic

Here is a closer
picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker in the 2008 film and Batman Begins sequel THE DARK KNIGHT

The Dark Knight introduces a new version of the Joker, based on the villain's original appearances in comic book lore. The character Batman also becomes more of a detective, dealing with the escalated situation from the end of Batman Begins as well as the dilemma of his vigilante crusade.

Food to Love: Fried Calamares

Fried Calamares

Amounts to serve 4:

3/4 kg (1-1/2 pounds) calamares (squid)
1/2 kg (about 4 cups) flour
1 liter (4 cups) olive oil
Salt

Remove the squid heads, tentacles, ink bags, fins and skin. Wash them thoroughly under running water, drain them and slice them into rings. Salt them, dredge them in the flour and shake them one by one to remove excess flour. Fry them in plenty of hot oil until they begin to turn golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Smallville: Lara

Clark learns that Kara is in Washington, D.C. looking for the crystal from her ship. Kara learns the exact location of the crystal, but it is not there when she arrives. Clark confronts her in a club, but she flies away. With Jimmy's help, Kara follows a path to Lex's mansion, but Agent Carter is waiting. Using kryptonite handcuffs, Carter takes Kara back to Virginia. Using a kryptonite truth serum, Carter attempts to learn about Krypton, but Clark interrupts him and saves Kara with Lionel's help. Clark shows Lana that he has Kara's crystal, which contains his birth mother's DNA.
Helen Slater, 1984's Supergirl, guest stars as Clark's mother from Krypton. It's fun to watch the two Supergirls in a scene together.

Smallville: Action

While filming takes place on the Warrior Angel movie on the Kent farm, Clark saves lead actress Rachel Davenport (Christina Millian) from a car crash. After some researching by Chloe, it is discovered that someone is trying to kill Rachel, because they believe her character should die, like she does in the comics. Clark's secret is uncovered by the attacker when he is witnessed stopping a bullet intended for Rachel; he attempts to kill Lana in hopes that her death will make Clark see his true destiny as Earth's savior. Lana is revealed to be the one who kidnapped Lionel Luthor, and when he is finally freed Lionel informs Lana that he knows she kidnapped him.
After watching this episode I was shocked to see Lana's hidden side and I was thinking to myself I can't believe she would do this. Hmmm.. Let's wait for future episode. By the way, I love the gift Rachel gave to Clark at the end. ^___^

Smallville: Cure

Chloe learns that Dr. Curtis Knox has a surgical cure for those affected by meteor-rocks, so she sets up an appointment knowing a side-effect could be memory loss. John Jones shows up at the Kent home and warns Clark that he cannot trust Kara. John explains that her father, Zor-El, attempted to assassinate Clark's father. Clark is told to find Kara's crystal before she does, but he side-tracked fighting Knox who is attempting to take Chloe's heart and transplant it into the woman he loves. Lana uses the $10 million she stole from Lex to buy surveillance equipment to spy on Lex.
Sorry I couldn't update on Smallville in a while but I will be reviewing all of the episodes I missed. Dean Cain guesting on this episode has been a long request of fans and they finally get to see him against Tom Welling. It was a great episode

Prison Break: Interference

This is mostly a transition episode which sets up what promise to a thrilling and awesome 2 hrs of prison break next week but still "Interference" is an amazing episode. Quick paced, intense , exciting with the suspense...everything in it.
Interference probably refers to the block Michael`s plan hit: The guards. I`m really starting to love the intrigue around Whistler. The new inmate recognizes him and call him and call him McFanden! Who the hell is he???
Also I was really happy to see Mahone adds his part of the plan and I`m wondering what`s in that cooler Linc showed to Sofia. Next week will be an epic 2 hours!!

Manhunt 2

Within a secret research facility, Daniel Lamb is one of many scientists working on the 'The Pickman Project' led by Dr. Laura Whyte and Dr. Pickman. The project deals with various controversial experiments and when the funding is cut, the facility is shut down. Dr. Pickman and his colleagues decide to continue anyway and move the whole project underground. Among some of the scientists still on board, Daniel Lamb agrees to become one of the many guinea pigs. However, an unforeseen defect appears in many of the subjects and they are sent to the Dixmor Asylum for the Criminally Insane. During his time, Daniel becomes confused and brain washed with paranoia, questioning what part of his life was real or imaginary. Six years later, a freakish lightning storm knocks out the asylum's power resulting in the whole security system to shut down. Daniel decides to escape, but isn't the only inmate coming out of his cell. This is where the gameplay begins.

Shortly after the game's retail release, Russian hackers have been able to create a hack for the PSP version of the game that removes Rockstar's game-censoring "filter" system - different degrees of blurring. This hack, applied to an legally(or illegally)-obtained disk image of the game, essentially reverts Manhunt 2 to its original, AO-rated form. A similar hack works for the PS2 version.

GAME

The high-concept thriller takes place in the near future, when mind-control technology has taken society by storm. In this dystopian world, the ultimate online simulation environment is humans remote-controlling other humans in mass-scale, multiplayer online gaming.

Butler plays Kable, the No. 1-ranked warrior in the highest-rated game, called "Slayers." With his every move tracked by millions, Kable's ultimate challenge is to regain his identity and bring down the system that has imprisoned him.

It is reported to be released 2008.

Indiana Jones 4 pic!

This picture has already been circulating through the internet and I just figured if you haven't seen it then I might as well put it here. Indiana Jones has been a favorite among movie lovers and with the movie showing next summer, they are in for a big surprise.

Heroes: Fight or Flight

Theepisode catches up with Peter Petrelli, still in Cork, Ireland, where he has developed quite the relationship with Caitlin. They’ve become very friendly, and afternoon delights have become a norm. Too bad, then, that Elle doesn’t take No for an answer, as Caitlin’s big bro finds out. That’s right, Peter, you can’t hide anymore, you can’t hide…

Back in New Orleans, our new hero Monica has a decision to make: become a hero and eyeball the gangster who tried to rob her or not. Of course, she still has to explain her “flying karate kick thing” to people. She should just blame it on TV, I know I do whenever I foil a robbery. Well at least she has a piano-playing genius back home who has secrets of his own, and is willing to share. But of course, try telling your buddy that you’re a “muscle mimic”, and just wait for the piles of laughter to follow.

Meanwhile, our favorite team of Two Men and a Psychic Girl splits up, with Matt Parkman heading to confront his dad in Philadelphia while Mohinder watches over a comatose Molly Walker. Nathan decides to tag along with Matt, which makes sense, because he can fly and they could save on the airfare. In Philly, Matt finally has that reunion with dear ol pop, except the man who Molly calls worst than Sylar is, well, kinda disappointing. You’d think the ultimate Nightmare Man would have better hygiene, but that’s parents for ya, always letting the kids down. Well, at least he can read minds, too, but that’s not all; he can do other things, other very cool things. Oh, Matt, you’re so gullible.Somewhere half a world away, the newly reconstituted team of HRG and The Haitian are on a mission. It looks cold over there, guys, so it’s a good thing they’re so chummy with their secret mission to save the world and all that good stuff. With the duo indisposed, Mohinder takes Molly to The Company for help. They are more than willing to lend a hand, especially if it means they get to send Mohinder out on a mission of his own, although I’m not sure if he should trust th — wait, who is that? Um, Niki? Long time no — wait, that’s not Niki, it’s — Jessica! One word: “Don’t tase her, bro! Don’t tase her!”

Back in Salaryman Land, Ando endeavors to find out what happened to his bestest bud Hiro, who is still in Feudal Japan helping Takezo Kensei live up to his legend. Or is he? One suspects that our poor, beleaguered hero is staying back in time for purely selfish reasons. It’s too bad he’s already helped Kensei nab the undying affections of that cute Yaeko, who our hero secretly longs. I tell you, the only person on TV with worst luck than Hiro in the love arena is Jack Bauer.

MIA for this episode: Claire and her superboy, and Sylar and the Wonder Twins.

God of War Demo

I had the pleasure of playing the demo game and I must say that the game play is not far from it's predecessor in the Playstation 2 game and it's fantastic. The graphics are splendid. It looks just like the PS2 version. It's scheduled for a March 4, 2008 release.

Here's the plot:
God of War: Chains of Olympus is a prequel to the God of War series. It chronicles the various adventures of Kratos throughout the ten years he spent in servitude of the Gods (hence the game's name which implies a bond between the series' protagonist and the deities of Olympus) preceding the events of God of War.

Heroes: The Kindness of Strangers

Previously on Heroes, HRG has discovered something very unpleasant — namely his death, as predicted by Isaac Mendez in one of his paintings. But our favorite ex-Company Man has other problems right now. Claire desperately wants to slip the cheerleader uniform back on, flyboy West is getting pushy about dating, and HRG wants to talk about sex. Plus, the entire family is hiding secrets, with the exception of Mister Muggles. Then again, I never did trust that dog.

Meanwhile, Grizzly Adams — er, I mean, Nathan Petrelli — visits his boys at school, and we learn that Nathan’s split from the wife was not kosher, as he’s been barred from visiting the boys. They also tell him that his beard needs to go. Kids, they say the darnedest things, don’t they? Nathan’s beleaguered mom, meanwhile, has confessed to killing Kaito Nakamura to the police, but of course we know she didn’t do it. So why is she confessing? Matt Parkman would like answers, and so would Nathan. Can you say, “Team up”? Now if only Matt can extricate himself from his Two Men and a Little Lady scenario he’s got going on with Mohinder back at home. I swear, these two fight like an old married couple.

Somewhere in Mexico, Maya and Alejandro, aka the Wonder Twins, discover something very unpleasant on the road to America. One guess: Yes, it’s Sylar. Also, they’re driving around in Claire’s stolen car, snatched by Derek the thief, the gringo the Wonder Twins took with them when they escaped from the South American jail in the previous episode. This proves my point: Never, ever trust a gringo in South America. But in any case, what are the chances that Sylar would stumble across someone with powers he could steal? Oh, about 9 out of 10 in the world of Heroes.

In New Orleans, Micah passes his time watching cooking shows with Uhura and stealing premium cable for his bratty cousin. Kids, what will they think of next? We also meet the newest hero, Monica, a chef in a local burger joint. And of course by “chef” I mean she makes sandwiches for fat people too lazy to cook dinner at home. Monica dreams of being more and providing for her Katrina-ravaged family, but she has no idea how to go about making that dream come true. Hey, Monica, maybe you should use your powers? Just a thought.

Back to more important things. We finally see that photograph with all the former heroes, aka the old guard, back when they were still chums. Included in the picture are: Linderman, Deveaux, Kaito, the Petrellis, Bob, and someone who Matt Parkman knows very well. Unfortunately, he’s also someone Dakota Fanning — er, I mean, Molly Walker knows very well, too. Matt, you got some ’splainin’ to do, buddy.

MIA for this episode: Peter, Niki, and Hiro.

There is no doubt there is a lot of progression in “The Kindness of Strangers”, especially in the Matt and Nathan areas. The rest are still treading water, in particular the Wonder Twins, who, it seems, will never make it to America — at least not in our lifetime. Claire and her teen problems continue to clumsily rumble on, unperturbed by any semblance of original writing. I won’t go so far as to say that the entire Bennet In California storyline is going downhill fast, but I will say it’s really stinking up the joint.

But cheer up, kids. Next week’s episode promises a nice dose of fresh air: Kristen Bell makes her appearance as Elle, the hero with an “electrifying” power!

Rambo

Starring Sylvester Stallone as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. In this fourth chapter of the franchise, Rambo travels to Burma, where the Burmese army is ruthlessly abusing the locals. It is currently scheduled for a January 25, 2008 release.
Judging by this Teaser Poster, which by the way is fantastic in my opinion, it looks like it's going to be a big action-packed film.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep

Birth by Sleep focuses on the story of Keyblade masters before Sora from the original Kingdom Hearts game and is a prequel, taking place ten years before the original Kingdom Hearts. Nomura has stated that though there are three scenarios, there is not one singularly important scenario or character, but that the main theme is Ven's identity. It is also believed to be connected to the unlockable trailers at the end of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. The story revolves around three Keyblade apprentices in search of a missing Keyblade master, Master Xehanort, and his apprentice. Their disappearance foreshadows a great disaster. The game will take place entirely in Disney-themed worlds, both new and old, and will reflect the time difference between this game and the previous Kingdom Hearts games.
This game is intended for the Playstation Portable

Smallville: Fierce

Kara decides she wants to join the Miss Sweet Corn Pageant. Clark tries to teach Kara to control her abilities, so she does not expose their secrets, but gets frustrated with her lack of concentration. Lana returns to Smallville, with all legal charges dropped against her, and reunites with Clark. Tyler and Tempest, two meteor-infected pageant contestants who witness Kara using her abilities, convince Kara to help them steal some buried treasure. The treasure turns out to be an SOS alert from another Kryptonian on Earth. Lex confronts Kara and promises to find out the truth of her abilities.
This Episode was not bad. Seeing Kara in a bikini was probably the highlight of the show. But to see Kara use her powers for the greater good was cool to see. Also my favorite scene happens to be with Kara and Lex.

Lex Luthor to Kara Kent:
"Twice i've been pulled back from the brink of death and both times it was by a member from the Kent family. I'm not a man who believes in coincidences"

My Lovely Girl

This happens to be a very very special person for me. She is probably one of the few people who knows the real me. She brought back my passion for photography and I love her opinions. Whenever she would talk, it's always a pleasure to her her opinion on something. She has this smile that can make your day. She is in somewhere in the world right now studying and I am missing her company. I just wish that she doesn't forget me and that we will see each other soon. Please always take care of yourself okay. I miss you...

Resident Evil Sequel?

In July of 2005, the producers openly discussed the possibility of following this sequel with a fourth film, with the announcement of plans to shoot the film in Tokyo. In an article published in 2006, details were revealed the film would take place in Tokyo, Japan and that Alice would be returning. In September 2006, it was announced that casting began for Resident Evil 4, and that Jensen Ackles was in talks for portraying Leon Kennedy.

While promoting the film, Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter mentioned a possibility that if the movie performed well at the box office, a spin-off film could be made relating to Claire Redfield and the other survivors. Larter also confirmed she would reprise the role "100% if asked". Oded Fehr also jokingly mentioned if his character was to return for a new film, he would have to be cloned like Alice's character in Apocalypse and Extinction.Despite Resident Evil: Extinction being billed on the official website and elsewhere as the final installment of the Resident Evil film series, Rory Bruer, Sony's head of distribution explained, "It absolutely would not surprise me considering the success of the franchise that they find a way to come up with another. It's a real possibility."

I'm really happy with this news and I hope that they still make this franchise to satisfy all Resident Evil Fans out there

Resident Evil: Extinction

The Umbrella Corp under the guidance of the misguided Dr. Isaacs (Iain Glen) has been cloning Alice (Milla Jovovich) in hopes of finding a cure for the T-Virus that has turned earth into a wasteland. The real Alice, more powerful than ever, is on the run through the desert where she meets up with Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) and a caravan of survivors who face all sorts of obstacles on their journey to Alaska, which is thought to be safe from the infection.

Everyone involved with the movie realizes that Milla's Alice is indeed the reason why the franchise continues to thrive, and she's given a chance to complete her transformation from kick-ass action star to full-on superhero, as she manifests telekinetic powers that makes it easier to defeat all odds. Alice really has been turned into a great movie heroine that's easy to root for, but when someone is so adept at slicing and dicing through the infected, it never feels like there's any danger. Having seen a lot of this stuff in the previous two movies--not to mention every other zombie movie that's come out since--we've become so desensitized to the violence and gore that it's not particularly exciting.

Ali Larter's Claire is a nice addition to the mix, but she's not a particularly charismatic character compared to Alice and the rest of the cast are fairly expendable as they take a back seat to the ladies. Even returning characters like Oded Fehr's Carlos and Mike Epps, who was easily the best part of the last movie as the constantly wisecracking and unlikely hero LJ, don't bring much to the movie. LJ. has generally gotten far too serious, and doesn't bring as much to the movie as he did last time.

As a critic, I would say that this movie is a good sequel but needs a little work on the story. There were a little been of gaps in the movie and I wished that they would explain it more. But as a movie buff I loved it! Especially the special effects!

Heroes: Kindred

Upon his return to New York, Suresh is unnerved to find an undiscovered Issac Mendez painting that foretells death of someone close to him. Both Claire and H.R.G. pursue their own secret personal agendas. Determined to make it to the U.S., Maya uses her deadly abilities to free Alejandro from a Mexican jail. Ando returns to his job in Japan and makes a happy discovery. Meanwhile, in Japan’s past, just when Hiro had written off Kensei , his childhood hero surprises him. Niki and a lost Hero individually strike shady bargains to reach their goals. Two familiar people with abilities make an unexpected return.
Sylar finally makes his triumphant return — but where is he, or whose playing tricks on him? Niki and Micah are finally back, but where have they been, and where are they going? Peter and the box gets close — along with an Irish lass in the middle. So what’s in that box? West and Claire end up somewhere very, very high up. And did Claire just discover that HRG is still “in the game”?

House Season 4: 97 seconds

The final 10 fellowship candidates compete ferociously when House splits them into two teams by gender. They are assigned to diagnose and treat a wheelchair-bound man with muscular atrophy who is slowly suffocating. As the two teams are trying to one-up each other, complications arise when one team treats the patient but doesn’t follow through to make sure their treatment was executed. While the students are busy with their assignment, House experiments on himself to see what happens in the moments when people hover between life and death. Meanwhile, Foreman runs his own team of fellows in his new job at another hospital, and resorts to using a very “House-like” treatment to help a patient.
This was funny. I love the "Survivor" style game plan that Dr. House made for the team.

House splits the 10 remaining doctors up into two groups to compete head-to-head to diagnose the patient first.

He splits them up:

• "if your sex organs dangle...you're the confederates"
• "if your sex organs are aesthetically pleasing...you're the yanks"

Effectively, he splits the group of 10 into 5 men and 5 women. At least initially. Part way through Amber convinces the "confederates" to let her switch teams: making it 6 vs. 4.

I'm really hoping that Kal Penn (number 6, who's sometimes number 9) gets included. The next episode is going to cool.

Prison Break: Good Fences

After his failed attempt at rescue, Lincoln receives Sara's head in a box. Michael formulates an electrifying escape plan from Sona. Mahone is haunted by hallucinations of Haywire. T-Bag becomes a member of Lechero's crew by murdering Nieves. Bellick's attempt to rat on Michael backfires.
I guess after watching this episode, every fan in the world is probably shocked to see Sara's head in the box. I couldn't believe that they did this. I was searching for extra info about why this happened and I found out that Sarah Wayne Callies, Sara Tancredi, did want to go back, but she just gave birth and it changed her perspective on everything. She called the studio about her decision and they had to finish her off. It turns out that the studio was going to kill her off at the middle of the season and by her decision they killed her of early. But for fans of the show, don't worry about the Sara-Michael love team, from my sources they will introduce a new character whom they will pair her off with Michael.

Heroes: Lizards

With one person dead, Matt enlists some unlikely help as the attacks continue on people with abilities. Claire’s efforts to hide her healing abilities at her new California high school are jeopardized by a fellow student with a secret of his own. Niki and Micah leave Las Vegas in an attempt to start over. As part of his new job, Dr. Suresh must track down The Haitian . While crossing into Mexico, Maya and Alejandro’s abilities prove to be a threat to those around them. Meanwhile, disappointed by his hero Kensei , Hiro resolves to rectify any damage his presence in feudal Japan has done to history. And another lost Hero falls in with a gang of Irish gangsters with clues to his past.
So far, the only interesting thing that has happened in this show is that Peter is not annoying
and is so far being actually cool. Hiro and Kensei is also fun to watch. That's it. For me, Heroes
needs to pick up the pace.

Smallville: Kara

Clark discovers he has a cousin, Kara, who was stuck in suspended animation for eighteen years. After a rocky first meeting, where Clark and Kara fight, the two soon band together to find Kara's stolen ship. Together they find her ship, which was taken by the Department of Domestic Security, but it is in self-destruct mode. Kara absorbs the explosion before it can kill anyone. Later, Kara reveals that a Kryptonian crystal, hidden inside the ship, was stolen before the ship exploded. Lex finds Lana, who used a LuthorCorp clone of herself to help fake her own death, in China. Lex returns to Smallville, determined to find the girl—Kara—who saved his life.
Adding Kara (Supergirl) to the show is a good move. This brings Clark closer to the hero he is destined to be. It also introduces a new arc to the season where she is actually older than Clark! And that Clark's uncle Zor-El had a specific job for Kara to do. It was nice that in the episode Clark was teaching Kara to use her other powers. And if only Kara can teach Clark to fly
