Natalie Portman and Rashida Jones explain to Americans what really needs to be done for the economy....well not really but its a funny video thats more cute than haha...check it out What to do about money stress: by N. Portman and R. Jones
CNN posted an article about five roles that were make or break deals for actors and who let them get away. It's interesting and eye opening to what some of our favorite movies would've been like if the first choice had agreed to the films. Reading the article is better than a summarization but just as a little hint could you imagine Cary Grant as the first James Bond instead of Sean Connery?
Lil Wayne was honored at the BET Awards this past Saturday with the biggest honor of the night Lyricist of the Year...in his mind he already proclaimed himself so but now its in black and white for the rest of the world to see.

Lyrics of the Year
As predicted below Chihuahua couldn't withstand Payne but who can blame the pup? Here are this weeks box office numbers: - Max Payne $18 Mill
- Beverly Hills Chihuahua $11.2
- The Secret Life of Bees $11.1
- W. $10.6
- Eagle Eye $7.3
- Body of Lies $6.9
- Quarantine $6.3
- Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist $3.9
- Sex Drive $3.6
- Nights in Rodanthe $2.7
Looks like even a funny poster isn't enough to help silly comedies like Sex Drive bring in audiences, but at least it made it on the Top 10 list.
So Beverly Hills Chihuahua is getting pretty comfortable at the #1 spot now for two weeks but it is unlikely that it will stay there much longer. Here are the films opening up this weekend that are sure to topple it right down: - Max Payne
- The Secret Life of Bees
- W.
- Sex Drive
- What Just Happened
I put them in the order of my recommendation, Enjoy!
So it sounds like its going to be pornographic, but that's not exactly what Jim Henson co. is going for. Apparently they are creating a movie called Happytime Murders, a murder mystery film with the muppets that isn't for children...think Who Framed Roger Rabbit....how will it turn out? Well I grew up loving the muppets so I for one am welcoming it, plus Miss Piggy always was a bit too raunchy for children in my opinion. More news is sure to come!
The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature
By: Steven Pinker
The back cover of this book describes it as "one of the world's leading experts on language and the mind, explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings." A bestseller and overall enjoyable read!
The latest James Bond film Quantum of Solace is coming out Nov. 14th...which means for all us major Bond fans the countdown can begin! Very excited, plus the latest Bond girl is Eastern European which makes this film even hotter!

- Eagle Eye
- Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
- Nights in Rodanthe
- Appaloosa
- Lakeview Terrace

Coming out this Friday: Quarantine (scary movie about a disease flick), Body of Lies (new Leo Dicaprio/Russell Crowe; directed by Ridley Scott flick), and my two picks that are only out on limited release: Happy-go-Lucky and RocknRolla Guy Ritchie's new film.
Described in the November issue of Vanity Fair as "a sensual and exquisitely written novel about dramatically attractive characters in a world of spies and love in pre-World War II Europe," The Spies of Warsaw sounds like an exciting and fun read, so go pick up a copy and enjoy! ...and while you're at it pick up the new issue of Vanity Fair there are some great articles about the economy, Jackie O, and Amy Adams.

The big movie of the weekend seems to be Beverly Hills Chihuahua although it's only Saturday so there's still time for others to catch up. I say go for it, there's nothing like a little fun canine action to lighten the mood from other wise dark subjects that are all around. This is definitely my movie pic of the week!
Ok so again I'm not trying to persuade everyone which way to vote, but this fake trailer from College Humor about a Sarah Palin Disney movie is too hilarious of a parody to pass up. Enjoy!http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1831461
So last night was the infamous Vice Presidential debate...which meant one thing for me- No new Office episode. Needless to say I sat through it to educate myself further in the candidates, but I felt an emptiness all night, which could only be filled by one person. Jim Halpert. I think many others did too and in honor of the man that is known as Jim, Entertainment Weekly has put together a list of Jim's best pranks.

In this film the very fun band Gogol Bordello decide that you can't be good and make it in this world.
