<description><![CDATA[While watching Eddie Murphy on Inside The Actors Studio Interview &#8211; he said some amazing thing]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>While watching <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Murphy" target="_blank">Eddie Murphy</a> on <a href="http://www.tv.com/inside-the-actors-studio/show/1931/summary.html" target="_blank">Inside The Actors Studio</a> Interview &#8211; he said some amazing things which I thought were great for entrepreneurs. When asked by the audience what advice he&#8217;d give to any aspiring actors this is what he said:</p>
<p><em>The advice I would give an actor is not to take any advice from anyone. Because I remember when I was younger, I would ask for advice&#8230; because with actors when you make that choice, you know it deep down, and you know in your heart, you know what you wanna do and you know what your abilities are and lots of time advice could screw you up. A great advice story was from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Dangerfield" target="_blank">Rodney Dangerfield</a>. I did the comic strip in Fort Lauder Dale when I was like 16 or 17 years old and Dangerfield walks in. And the whole room was &#8216;Oh Dangerfield is here&#8217; &#8211; everyone bumped all the comics and no one wanted to go up cause Dangerfield was in the room. And I was so confident back then I was like Mr Dangerfield, I want you to watch my show&#8230; I want you to watch.. He said, Oh yeh, I&#8217;ll stick around kid. And he watches. And I did my thing, and I was really dirty (with my language) and after the show, he said&#8230; &#8216;Hey kid, you said a lot of bad things there, hey watch your language&#8221;. He gave me a big speech about my language and the words I was using, and it really took the wind out of my sails, and I was like WOW, cause I really killed that night&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://startupblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-23.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3608" title="Rodney Dangerfield &#38; Eddie Murphy" src="http://startupblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-23.jpg" alt="" width="486" height="321" /></a><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Then 5 or 6 years later, I&#8217;m at the bathroom at <a href="https://www.caesarspalace.com/casinos/caesars-palace/casino-misc/caesars-palace-nightlife-detail.html" target="_blank">Caesars Palace</a>, and Dangerfield comes in and he&#8217;s in the urinal right next to me, and I haven&#8217;t seen him since that night. I look over and he looks back and said: &#8220;Hey, who knew?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Startup Blog would love to know what advice have you ignored to advantage?</strong><em><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://jrmag.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eddie-murphy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-74" title="Eddie Murphy" src="http://jrmag.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/eddie-murphy.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="130" /></a>Eddie Murphy used to known for his adult-themed comedy films. Over time, Murphy expanded his brand and became a PG comedy movie star. Most of Eddie Murphy’s original fans say that he sold out. It is true that Murphy has made a lot more money off of these PG films than he did in his rated R, critically-acclaimed films.</p>
<p>It seems like each year; Eddie Murphy comes out with the same film. Each year delivers a new film with Murphy and some little girl with powers. If it is not that, he comes with <em>Daddy Daycare</em> and another <em>Shrek</em> film. Ever since the first film came in 2001, Eddie Murphy has portrayed the role of “Donkey.”</p>
<p>For those who criticize him for selling out, they feel that is the perfect role for him. It may not be what fans of <em>Coming to America</em> like, but they know that at least one of their children love <em>Shrek</em> and “Donkey.” Murphy’s character is the sidekick of Mike Myers’ “Shrek.” The film first premiered in 2001.</p>
<p>Every three years, since has brought another <em>Shrek</em> film. Next year will be three years since <em>Shrek the Third</em> and it will bring <em>Shrek Forever After</em>. In this latest film, the ogre longs to return to his roots of scaring people. He signs a pact with a crook that sends him to a far away land where ogres are hunted. In the end, it is up to Shrek to correct all of the mistakes that the pact made.</p>
<p>Like all of the other films in the series, fairy tale themes will be heavily used and parodied. The film will premiere across the United States on May 21, 2010.</p>

Hey! Who remembers the plot to  Beverley Hills Cop? Answer = No-one!  For those who want to know it was something to do with Eddie Murphy (Axel Foley) solving the murder of a long time friend set in&#8230;you guessed it Beverley Hills.</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Axel F</strong>&#8220; was the <a title="Electronic music" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_music">electronic</a> <a title="Instrumental" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental">instrumental</a> theme from the 1984 film and was performed by <a title="Harold Faltermeyer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Faltermeyer">Harold Faltermeyer</a>. The title comes from, I kid you not, the main character&#8217;s name, <a title="Axel Foley" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Foley">Axel Foley</a> (played by &#8211; that&#8217;s right, <a title="Eddie Murphy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Murphy">Eddie Murphy</a>).

<p>Daca am numara cate topuri ale celor mai bune filme sunt pe piata se poate ca nu ne-ar ajunge o luna si tot am mai numara. In schimb, topul filmelor care nu au fost un asa mare succes ar putea fi o noutate pe piata.</p>
<p>Nu spunem ca acesta ar fi singurul si nici nu sunt parerile noastre personale, este un top facut site-ul yahoo.com. Ca sa pastram bomba spre final, topul va fi in ordine descrescatoare, puteti sa contraziceti acest top cat de mult vreti.</p>
<p>10. The Sprit (cu Samuel L. Jackson)</p>
<p>9. Grindhouse (produs de Quentin Tarantino)</p>

<blockquote><p>folgt noch ein Nachbericht, sobald ich den Film gesehen habe<br />
Jedenfalls ist der Trailer gut und einigen Cine-Kritiken nach auch lohnenswert. Für mich war ohnehin klar dass ich den neuen Eddie Murphy sehen muss.</p></blockquote>
<p>update nach dem Film -<br />
Erster Eindruck so kurz nach dem Film, sehr unterhaltsam, sehr gut geeignet für ein Familienabend oder Filmabend mit Freunden.<br />
Ein paar sehr gut gelungene Slapsticks und Lachsequenzen.<br />
Ein Eddie Murphy der sich mal vor seinem Boss und Kunden zum Affen oder Abends in der Fußgängerzone zum Clown macht.<br />
Die teils Baby-, teils Kiddiesprache bei den Prognosen oder An/Verkaufsempfehlungen sind ein sehr schöner begleiteffekt und sorgen immer wieder für Lacher.</p>
<p>Die Story wird dabei nicht ins kitschige gezogen, dafür Sorgen kurze Einlagen mit Ernsten Phasen ob mit der Ex-Frau, dem Rivalenkampf mit dem falschen Indianer oder die Einsicht, dass Vater (<em>oder ein Elternteil</em>) sein mehr Wert hat, als nur die Karriere-Geilheit.</p>
<p>Meine Drei Lieblingstellen sind sicherlich,  die Phase im Büro, als er erfährt das sein Zuarbeiter und gefördertete Mitarbeiter die Seiten wechselt und Eddie Murphy die Unterlagen nicht findet zum 11h Termin was aber vorverlegt wurde und seine bezaubernde Tochter diese Unterlagen, auf geheiss der imagineeren 3-4 Freundinnen verziehrt mit Buntstiften, Glitzerzeug &#8230; dekoriert hatte und seine Stimmung schon am überkochen war.</p>
<p>Jetzt fehlte nur noch die Pointe dieser Szene und die folgte zugleich als er sich dem langjährigen Kunden und dem Rivalen im Konferenz-Zimmer anschliesst und erleben muss wie aus seiner Sicht alle den Verstand verlieren und er scheinbar von allen verkauft und verraten wurde .. da tickt er dann vollendst aus, ohnehin schwer geladen durch die Total unbrauchbaren Unterlagen setzt er über zum Angriff und ist voll im Element &#8230;</p>
<p>die Zweite Szene spielt sich im Kinderhort bzw in einem Spielzeugland für Kinder ab. Als er kurz zuvor erfährt, dass sein Boss in Rente gehen will und der oberste Boss (gespielt von <a title="Wikipedia - Martin Sheen" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Sheen" target="_blank">Martin Sheen</a>) einen der beiden Topleute zum Nachfolger ernennen will. Durch die ominöse Zauberdecke der Tochter mit allerbesten nicht zurückverfolgbaren Insiderinformationen mittlerweile auf dem gesamtem Investment- und Finanzsegment in aller Munde, erkännt er nun sein Dilema, in 17 Stunden müssen beide Rivalen eine Dossier voller Aufgaben abarbeiten um sich des Postens würdig zu erweisen. Ein Wettkampf gegen die Zeit und reifem Menschenverstand ..<br />
Im besagten Hort trifft er erst auf seinen Freund, der Ihn mit aller Macht daran hindern will die Decke an sich zu reissen, da niemand vom Geheimniss von Eddie Murphy und seiner Tochter eingeweiht sind, sein Rivale der Ihn beschatten lässt eine Ahnung hat aber keinen stichhaltigen Beweis, &#8230;&#8230;<br />
und dann kurz darauf die im Trailer teils zu sehende Stelle als er dem Jungen Bargeld und die Kaffeekarte anbietet &#8230; einfach geil.</p>
<p>Die Dritte Phase, ist dann im Anschluss am gescheiterten Versuch spätabends im Haus seines Freundes, wo sich die Kinder nach der Geburtstagsfeier wiederfinden und übernachten. Der Weg vom Garten bis zum Trampolin wo er sich dann über den Ast ins Haus schleichen will ist einfach genial gemacht mit vielen Lacheinheiten, fast schon der Stil wie bei &#8220;<em>Kevin allein zu Hause</em>&#8221; &#8230;</p>
<p>Für mich wars ein toller Filmabend und gut gelacht ist besser als schlecht gelaunt <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
take care<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Confira os vampiros mais famosos da literatura e do cinema</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Arquivo/AE</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">sábado, 14 de novembro de 2009, 13:48</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">SÃO PAULO - Veja lista dos vampiros mais famosos da literatura e do cinema.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Conde Drácula</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O mais famoso vampiro cinematográfico de todos os tempos foi inspirado no personagem central da obra de Bram Stoker. Vários atores ficaram famosos com este papel no cinema, como Maximiliam Schrek, no clássico do cinema mudo &#8220;Nosferatu, uma Sinfonia de Horror&#8221;, de 1922. Até hoje, muitas pessoas acreditam que Schrek era mesmo um vampiro na vida real! Bela Lugosi, ator de origem húngara, foi o primeiro a imprimir garbo e elegância ao vampiro, marcando para sempre a imagem do personagem. Depois de Lugosi, Christopher Lee representou Drácula em mais de uma dezena de produções, sempre com total aprovação do público. Mais recentemente, Gary Oldman também entrou para este rol sinistro com a brilhante atuação em &#8216;Drácula de Bram Stoker&#8217;, dirigido pelo consagrado Francis Ford Coppola.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Lestat de Lioncourt</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Eu quero interferir nas coisas, fazer as coisas acontecerem!&#8221;. Este é o lema do vampiro mais famoso da literatura depois de Drácula: o sedutor Lestat de Lioncourt, narrador de quatro livros das &#8220;Crônicas Vampirescas&#8221; de Anne Rice. Nos cinemas, o personagem foi imortalizado por Tom Cruise em &#8220;Entrevista com o Vampiro&#8221;, de 1994. Lestat foi mordido ainda adolescente por Magnus, um vampiro de 300 anos, que se autodestruiu logo depois. Com isso, os poderes seculares da criatura passaram para o rapaz, e também toda sua fortuna. Apaixonado pelo jovem Louis, ele resolveu vampirizá-lo, assim como a menina Claudia. Entretanto, Lestat foi traído pelos pupilos e quase foi destruído. Séculos depois, resolveu contar a um jornalista toda a sua história, para transformá-la num livro. Nos dias de hoje, o egocêntrico Lestat decidiu se tornar uma estrela do Rock, na história que também foi levada às telas do cinema com o título de &#8220;A Rainha dos Condenados&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Louis</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Louis du Pontlac é descrito por Anne Rice, sua criadora, como um vampiro bastante suave, de cabelos negros e face inexpressiva, exceto pelos brilhantes olhos verdes&#8230; No cinema, o super galã Brad Pitt deu vida ao narrador da &#8220;Entrevista com o Vampiro&#8221;, que foi vampirizado por Lestat (Tom Cruise) aos 25 anos, depois de uma tragédia. A família de Louis prosperava com as plantações de algodão em Nova Orleans, até que seu adorado irmão mais novo veio a falecer. Louis ficou doente e se tornou uma vítima fácil para o apaixonado Lestat. Ao contrário deste, o jovem Pontlac é um vampiro contemplativo, um intelectual desesperançado em busca de respostas para sua condição maldita. Justamente por isso, o experiente Armand (Antonio Banderas), ao conhecê-lo, afirmou que Louis era o Vampiro mais fraco que ainda caminhava sobre a face da Terra&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Vlad</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em julho de 1991, o público brasileiro conheceu o terrível Conde Vladimir Polanski, um Vampiro que marcou época na televisão brasileira. Interpretado por Ney Latorraca, Vlad era o maior dos vilões da novela &#8220;Vamp&#8221;, escrita por Antônio Calmon e dirigida por Jorge Fernando, um dos maiores sucessos entre os jovens brasileiros. Na história, a cantora de rock Natasha (vivida por Cláudia Ohana) vende sua alma ao terrível Vampiro para conquistar um lugar no estrelato. Arrependida, a Vampira procura abrigo na cidade de Armação dos Anjos, onde acaba sendo perseguida pelo cruel Vlad. A atuação de Latorraca garantiu ao sarcástico Vladimir Polanski um lugar de destaque no rol dos vilões mais carismáticos da teledramaturgia brasileira, imortalizando bordões como o infantilizado &#8220;Gotooooso!&#8221;, que Vlad exclamava todas as vezes em que sugava um pescoço.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Natasha</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Natasha foi a primeira vampira da dramaturgia brasileira, e deixou muitos marmanjos de queixo caído. A personagem foi interpretada pela bela Cláudia Ohana na novela Vamp, de 1991. Ela vendeu sua alma ao terrível Conde Vladimir Polanski para alcançar o sucesso como cantora de rock. No entanto, não era uma criatura do Mal: ao contrário, logo se arrependeu do pacto com Vlad e pôs-se a fugir dele, escondendo-se na cidade de Armação dos Anjos. Lá, ela reencontrou seu amor de vidas passadas, o capitão Jonas, personagem de Reginaldo Farias. Enciumado e receoso de que esse amor medieval pudesse voltar à tona, o Conde Vladimir passou a perseguir Natasha e a família do capitão, causando trapalhadas que renderam boas risadas ao público.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Angel</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Este é o Vampiro mais adorado pelas adolescentes de todo o planeta&#8230; Protagonista de um seriado de TV americano, Angel é um Vampiro sedutor que usa todo o seu charme e inteligência para ajudar os oprimidos e tirar da consciência o peso de séculos praticando o Mal&#8230; Interpretado pelo galã David Boreanaz, o herói fez sua estréia em outra série televisiva, &#8220;Buffy, a Caça-Vampiros&#8221;. Depois de ser vencido pela protagonista, o Vampiro irlandês Angelus resolveu assumir o lado do Bem e a paixão pela mocinha, interpretada por Sarah Michelle Gellar. O grande sucesso do personagem lhe garantiu uma série própria, iniciada em 1999, que mostra a trajetória do Vampiro justiceiro após deixar a amada e a pequena cidade de Sunnydale para iniciar uma carreira de investigador particular em Los Angeles&#8230; Assim como Blade, Angel se tornou uma dor de cabeça ambulante para seus irmãos de sangue, e um verdadeiro colírio para as fãs mais animadas!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Jerry Dandridge</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Apesar de serem monstros da escuridão, os Vampiros quase sempre foram representados no cinema como galanteadores incorrigíveis, homens elegantes que não perdem a chance de seduzir uma bela mocinha, para só depois revelar a horrível face do mal&#8230; E Jerry Dandridge, o vilão de &#8220;A Hora do Espanto&#8221;, um blockbuster de 1985, vestiu com perfeição este estereótipo marcante dos sanguessugas. Vestido sempre de modo impecável, perfumado e polido, a máscara de Jerry (interpretado por Chris Sarandon) só não foi capaz de enganar o jovem Charley, que desconfiou desde sempre da boa educação de seu novo vizinho&#8230; Com seu estilo doce e sexy, Jerry Dandrige conseguiu vampirizar a namorada do jovem, Amy, e seu melhor amigo, Ed, além de arrancar muitos suspiros da maior parte do público feminino, especialmente quando assobiava romanticamente o clássico &#8220;Strangers in the night&#8221; (tudo a ver, não é mesmo?), de Sinatra.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>David</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Dormir o dia inteiro. Zoar a noite toda. Nunca crescer. Nunca morrer. É divertido ser um vampiro!&#8221;. Foi com este lema que o sensual vampiro David conquistou diversos seguidores no filme Garotos Perdidos (Lost Boys, 1987), clássico dos anos 80 estrelado por Kiefer Sutherland. As estripulias bizarras de David e sua turma vampiresca escandalizaram uma pequena cidade da Califórnia. Como em um ritual, suas vítimas precisavam beber vinho de sangue e comer vermes. Foi o caso de Emerson (Jason Patrick), que por amor a Star (Jami Gertz), aceitou o rito de passagem e se tornou um ser das trevas, passando a integrar a primeira gangue de sanguessugas bad boys do cinema!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Bento Carneiro</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Minha vingança será maligna!&#8221; &#8211; Quem já ouviu esta frase pode até não se lembrar da origem, mas os fãs de Chico Anysio jamais vão esquecer de Bento Carneiro, o Vampiro Brasileiro, o único ser das trevas que morava &#8220;aquém do além adonde que veve os mortos&#8221;&#8230; O personagem, um vampiro atrapalhado, simplório e desprestigiado, foi criado pelo humorista na década de 80 e logo se tornou um dos maiores sucessos de seu &#8220;Chico Anysio Show&#8221;. Sempre ao lado de seu fiel escudeiro, Calunga, Bento Carneiro fez do mito do Vampiro um veículo perfeito para brincar e ridicularizar, sempre com muito bom humor, as mazelas e contradições da sociedade brasileira.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Os Monstros</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Na década de 60, a CBS americana produziu um seriado para a TV que marcou toda uma geração de telespectadores. A exemplo da família Addams, da rival ABC, realizada na mesma época, os Monstros faziam piada com os costumes exóticos de uma família sinistra&#8230; O pai, Herman (Fred Gwynne), era filho de um certo Dr. Frankestein. Vovô (Al Lewis), de apenas 370 anos, gastava a maior parte de seu tempo em loucas experiências de laboratório. Os filhos eram Eddie (Butch Patrick), verdadeiro monstrinho de pele verde, orelhas pontiagudas e caninos afiados, e Marilyn (Beverley Owen/Pat Priest), loira, esbelta, de olhos verdes, isto é, um verdadeiro horror para os padrões da família! A única vampira da história era a esposa de Herman, Lily Dracula, uma dona de casa sempre preocupada com a criação dos filhos&#8230; Cancelado nos EUA em 1966, o seriado foi exibido no Brasil ainda na década de 60, e reprisado em meados da década de 70, fazendo mais sucesso do que os Addams! As trapalhadas dos Monstros divertiam pessoas de todas as idades, principalmente quando Vovô resolvia dar uma voltinha com seu veículo: um caixão sobre rodas!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Varney</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sir Francis Varney era uma criatura literalmente repugnante. Criado pelo escritor inglês James Malcolm Rymer em 1847 (antes mesmo de Drácula!) no livro &#8220;Varney, o Vampiro ou o Banquete Sangrento&#8221;, a maior arma dessa criatura era a sua feiúra! Com sua face pálida e mórbidos olhos cor-de-lata, Varney hipnotizava suas vítimas apenas com o olhar&#8230; Com unhas e dentes pontiagudos, esse vampiro arranhava as vidraças das casas, fazendo o ruído de granizo. Por isso, também ficou conhecido como o &#8220;Vampiro das Tempestades&#8221;, agindo sempre em dias chuvosos ou com neve. Esse monstro pavoroso tinha preferência por jovens indefesas, que eram atacadas sem dó nem piedade. No entanto, Varney era um ser bastante temperamental, e se dava ao luxo de se sentir desgostoso com a imortalidade de vez em quando&#8230; Então, quando os raios da lua o acordavam e seu humor não estava dos melhores, o vampiro se escondia no Monte Vesúvio, onde nenhum feixe de luz poderia despertá-lo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Blade</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Além da Vampirella, outro herói dos quadrinhos também ficou famoso pelos seus poderes vampirescos. Ele se chama Blade e nasceu das idéias de Marv Wolfman, então roteirista da Marvel Comics. A grande diferença é que o herói negro não é bem um Vampiro de verdade, e sim uma mistura de ser humano com um Filho das Trevas&#8230; Como? A origem de Blade é espetacular: sua mãe foi atacada por um Vampiro quando ainda levava o filho no útero. Dessa forma, o bebê recebeu um pouco do sangue maldito, adquirindo alguns de seus poderes especiais. Como vingança, Blade se tornou um impiedoso caçador dos sanguessugas, e para isso utiliza as geringonças high-tech criadas por Whistler, também inventor do soro que Blade usa para poder caminhar à luz do dia sem virar pó. No cinema, o herói já mereceu dois filmes que estouraram nas bilheterias, ambos protagonizados pelo blockbuster Wesley Snipes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>O Vampiro do Brooklyn</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Blade, o caçador de Vampiros vivido por Wesley Snipes, não é o único representante da galeria de sanguessugas afro-americanos&#8230; Em 1995, Eddie Murphy personificou no cinema o hilariante Maximillian, único sobrevivente de uma raça de Vampiros de uma ilha caribenha. Dirigido por Wes Craven, da série &#8220;Pânico&#8221;, &#8220;O Vampiro do Brooklyn&#8221; trouxe a verve cômica do eterno tira da pesada para o mundo dos Filhos da Noite. No filme, Eddie Murphy tem que encontrar a única mulher que pode salvar sua raça da extinção. Vivida por Angela Basset, Rita mora no Brooklyn e convive com estranhos pesadelos. Sem saber, a moça é filha de um Vampiro, e por isso carrega nas veias um destino sanguinolento. Mas uma série de contratempos acontecem (como sempre!) e Maximillian tem de mover mundos e fundos para conquistar Rita e garantir a preservação de sua espécie.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Blacula</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Blacula é o personagem principal do filme de mesmo nome, dirigido por William Crain em 1972. Trata-se da versão afro-americana do maior vampiro de todos os tempos. A história começa com Manuwalde (William Marshall), um príncipe africano que é vampirizado pelo próprio Conde Drácula em 1780, e acaba trancafiado dentro de seu próprio caixão. Séculos depois, dois colecionadores de arte resolvem levar a tumba para Los Angeles, onde Blacula desperta sedento de sangue! O Vampiro conhece Tina, a reencarnação de sua falecida esposa Luva, e faz de tudo para conquistar o seu amor. Mas o caminho de Blacula está cheio de obstáculos: Gordon, o melhor amigo da moça, descobre a verdade sobre Manuwalde e inicia uma verdadeira caçada ao vampiro africano&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Zé Vampir</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quem é que nunca se divertiu com as histórias da Turma do Penadinho, escritas por Maurício de Souza? Pois essa galerinha de arrepiar não poderia deixar de ter o seu Vampiro. Ele se chama Zé Vampir e é cheio de classe&#8230; Ao contrário dos outros personagens do cemitério, como o Cranícola, Muminho, Lobisomen e a Dona Morte, que normalmente usam apenas trapos ou lençóis (afinal, são fantasmas!), o nosso menino Vampiro se inspirou nos elegantes sanguessugas do cinema para compor o seu visual: smoking, gravata borboleta e uma elegante capa! Como a maioria dos Vampiros, Zé Vampir também pode se transformar em um simpático morcego, coisa que faz sempre quando quer assustar alguém. Apesar disso, Zé Vampir é um Vampiro camarada, e nunca leva seu apetite por sangue às últimas consequências. Na verdade, o morceguinho sempre acaba preferindo alguma guloseima à base de morango ou groselha, bem vermelhinha&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Don Drácula</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Protagonista de um desenho animado japonês, Don Drácula (Don Dorakyura) fez a festa de muitas crianças brasileiras durante a década de 80, quando foi exibido. Criado por Osamu Tezuka (considerado o &#8220;Deus do Mangá&#8221;) em 1979, o pano de fundo da história é a mudança de Drácula para o Japão, para fugir de seu arquiinimigo, o Dr. Rip Van Helsing&#8230; Muito desastrado, o Vampiro acaba se envolvendo em muitas confusões com sua filha, Sangria, e Igor, seu criado corcunda. Sem falar no morceguinho Yasu, que narra com muito bom humor alguns momentos da história. Além de Van Helsing, Don Drácula também se esforça para fugir dos &#8220;ataques&#8221; da apaixonada Blonda, uma gorducha cheia de sangue para dar! Um típico desenho japonês, que deixou saudades em muita gente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Vampirella</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Criada na década de 60 pelo célebre Forrest J. Ackerman (o escritor que utilizou pela primeira vez a expressão &#8220;Sci-Fi&#8221;), a curvilínea Vampirella povoa a imaginação dos marmanjos desde aquela época. Sempre vestida com um sensual maiô colante vermelho, que revela boa parte de sua invejável forma física, a Vampirella das histórias em quadrinhos já teve duas origens&#8230; Para Ackerman, a Vampira era uma alienígena de Drakulon, onde todos os habitantes são Vampiros que se alimentam do sangue que corre nos rios desse estranho planeta. Na década de 90, entretanto, Vampirella teve sua origem reescrita por Kevin Lau, e passou a ser a filha de Lilith, uma Vampira mitológica. Seja como for, Vampi (como é carinhosamente chamada pelos íntimos) continua combatendo o crime com seu peculiar estilo sexy-sangrento, e muita gente boa não ligaria nem um pouco em ser mordido pela simpática heroína&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Mirza</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Criada em 1967 por Eugênio Colonnese, um dos mestres pioneiros da HQ nacional, Mirza é a personagem feminina mais conhecida do terror brasileiro. Inspirada na internacional Vampirella, a vampira brasileira povoou o imaginário de várias gerações de leitores, já que foi publicada em momentos distintos das décadas de 60, 70 e 80. O verdadeiro nome de Mirza era Mirela Zamanova, uma condessa exuberante que se tornou um ícone não só do terror como também do erotismo nos quadrinhos. Suas aventuras se davam nos ambientes glamurosos das passarelas da alta moda e nas festas da elite brasileira, já que Mirza ganhava a vida como modelo internacional, sempre vestida (ou despida, é claro!) em trajes provocantes e muito muito sensuais&#8230; Em seu reinado de terror, Mirza visitou as maiores cidades do mundo, procurando suas vítimas indiscriminadamente entre homens e mulheres, e deixando uma verdadeira legião de &#8220;órfãos&#8221;, candidatos eternos aos voluptuosos caninos da vampira.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Miriam Blaylock</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A secular vampira Miriam Blaylock, interpretada por Catherine Deneuve em &#8220;Fome de viver&#8221; (The Hungers), ficou célebre na película de Tony Scott, um dos mais belos e chocantes filmes de 1983. Personagem do livro mais famoso de Whitley Strieber, Lady Miriam e seu vampiro-amante John (David Bowie) tinham uma vida sofisticada, eram apaixonados por música clássica e sobreviviam à base de sangue novo de homens e mulheres. Mas repentinamente John teve um estranho distúrbio celular e envelheceu em poucos segundos, forçando Miriam a procurar a doutora Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon), especialista em envelhecimento precoce. Foi a deixa para que a vampira seduzisse a médica ao som da ópera Lakmé, de Léo Delibes, em uma das cenas mais eróticas do filme. Sob o poder de Miriam, Sarah foi perdendo aos poucos sua identidade humana, mergulhando cada vez mais fundo na escuridão dos Filhos da Noite&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Carmilla</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Personagem central de um conto publicado em 1872 pelo escritor irlandês Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla foi uma das primeiras criaturas da noite registradas na literatura mundial. De hábitos noturnos, cabelos e olhos castanho escuros, Carmilla logo chamou a atenção de Laura, uma jovem da nobreza austríaca com quem a Vampira manteve um relacionamento conturbado. Na história, narrada pela própria vítima, Carmilla acaba revelando ser a Condessa Karnstein, uma antepassada de Laura, falecida há mais de 150 anos! Linda, graciosa e de porte aristocrático, Carmilla influenciou toda uma geração de Vampiras fatais, e há quem diga, inclusive, que Bram Stoker teria se inspirado na obra de seu conterrâneo para criar o seu Drácula.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Philinnion</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Philinnion é a personagem de um conto muito antigo atribuído ao historiador grego Phlegon de Trales, que teria vivido no primeiro ou segundo século da era cristã, e por isso pode ser considerada uma das primeiras vampiras da literatura. A história narra o drama de um jovem chamado Machates, que se apaixonou perdidamente por Philinnion, sem saber que ela já estava morta&#8230; Machates morava com os pais da moça, e recebia todas as noites a visita de sua noiva. Quando os pais de Philinnion viram a filha na cama com o hóspede, trataram de avisá-lo que aquilo era uma assombração! O jovem ficou arrasado, e Philinnion amaldiçoou seus pais por terem revelado seu pequeno segredo&#8230; Mais tarde, os habitantes da cidade perceberam que a tumba da jovem estava vazia e encontraram seu corpo em casa. O cadáver de Philinnion foi então queimado e oferecido ao Deus Hermes, para que sua alma fosse enviada ao mundo das trevas. A história de Philinnion era muito famosa na época do Império Romano, e serviu de inspiração para Goethe escrever seu famoso poema &#8220;Die Braut von Korinth&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Lord Ruthven</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Personagem principal do livro &#8220;The Vampyre&#8221;, publicado em 1819, o sedutor Lord Ruthven nasceu durante uma emocionante tempestade literária&#8230; Reza a lenda que, em 1816, o grande poeta romântico Lord Byron reuniu em Genebra alguns amigos, entre eles Mary Shelley, escritora, e John Polidori, médico. Byron propôs um desafio aos demais: uma competição de histórias de terror, que foi vencida pelo Frankenstein criado na ocasião por Shelley. Foi nesse jogo que Byron idealizou o enredo para &#8220;The Vampyre&#8221;, mas logo abandonou o projeto. Polidori, que também estava naquela noite, desenvolveu a idéia de Byron e ainda se inspirou na figura do amigo para dar vida a Ruthven, um elegante Vampiro inglês que transitava com desenvoltura nas festas mais chiques da nobreza européia, onde dava vazão a seus instintos bestiais entre um gole de champagne e uma mordida certeira no pescoço de alguma linda donzela&#8230; O evento azedou a amizade dos dois, mas deu ao mundo um dos personagens vampíricos mais marcantes da literatura mundial.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Conde Saint-German</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O Conde Ragoczy Saint-German é a principal criação da escritora californiana Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, que conta com uma verdadeira legião de fãs vampirescos nos Estados Unidos. Protagonista de mais de uma dezena de livros, Saint-German é um vampiro do bem, um herói que usa a experiência acumulada em 3500 anos de vida para ajudar o próximo, principalmente no caso de belas mulheres&#8230; Poliglota, rico e inteligente, Saint-German é um farmacêutico/alquimista, que precisa de sangue para se manter vivo, mas nunca mata suas vítimas, preferindo alimentar-se de suas amantes ou de estranhos que, em troca, recebem sonhos agradáveis por telepatia. Assim como os sanguessugas tradicionais, o vampiro de Yazbro também não pode se ver no espelho, carrega sempre um punhado de sua terra natal (às vezes dentro dos sapatos&#8230;), e pode se recuperar de ferimentos que levariam qualquer ser humano à morte! Um herói pra lá de charmoso, que convida o leitor para conhecer as mais fantásticas eras de nossa história.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Azzo, o Cavaleiro</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Encravado em algum lugar dos Cárpatos, na Romênia, está o assombrado castelo Klatka. Este é o lar de Azzo, o Cavaleiro Vampiro que protagoniza a obra &#8220;A Mysterious Stranger&#8221;, de autor desconhecido, publicada pela primeira vez em 1860. Azzo é um Vampiro centenário, com um profundo desprezo pela humanidade, e só tem interesse pelas coisas pitorescas, incomuns. Ante sua presença, mesmo os lobos mais selvagens se tornam dóceis e inofensivos. Com a eterna aparência de um homem de 40 anos, alto e magro, o Cavaleiro tem olhos cinzas amedrontadores, e usa bigode, barba e cabelos negros e curtos. Sempre vestido em sua armadura medieval, Azzo é rude, sarcástico e monossilábico com os visitantes, guardando toda a sua elegância e cultura secular para cortejar as jovens donzelas que acompanham os viajantes. Quando convidado para um banquete, o Cavaleiro Azzo sempre recusa a comida, fazendo questão de frisar que só se alimenta de líquidos&#8230; quentes!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>O Vampiro de Sussex</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em 1924, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle publicou &#8220;The Sussex Vampire&#8221; (&#8220;O Vampiro de Sussex&#8221;), colocando Sherlock Holmes frente a frente com um ser das trevas. A história começa em uma manhã de novembro, com uma carta assustadora. Nela, um certo Robert Ferguson pede a ajuda de Holmes para resolver um espantoso caso de vampirismo! O detetive começa a investigar uma série de mortes ocorridas no vilarejo em questão, que parecem ligadas a um estranho fato ocorrido há um século atrás. Nessa ocasião, os habitantes do local teriam assassinado todos os integrantes de uma família, acusados de vampiros. Assustados, os novos moradores começam a acreditar que um descendente dos sanguessugas é o responsável pelas mortes, sedento de sangue e vingança. Sherlock tem de usar toda a sua miraculosa astúcia para resolver a questão, e acaba provando mais uma vez que os vivos sempre são muito mais perigosos que os mortos&#8230; Mas você não vai querer saber o final da história, certo? O negócio é ler o livro para se deliciar com o caso mais sanguinolento do maior detetive do mundo!</p>

</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Shrek Forever After" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Shrek-Goes-Fourth_2350e9c2.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="600" /><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;"> &#8220;<a rel="tag" href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/movie/shrek_forever_after/">Shrek Forever After</a>&#8221; is starting to get in shape with the release of the promotional arts and the official synopsis. In the first still of the fourth film, the beloved green ogre is pictured with Rumpelstiltskin, the little troublemaker who made brief appearances in &#8220;<a rel="tag" href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/movie/shrek_2/">Shrek 2</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a rel="tag" href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/movie/shrek_the_third/">Shrek the Third</a>&#8220;. There&#8217;s also a look of a smiling Donkey who is voiced once again by <a rel="tag" href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/celebrity/eddie_murphy/">Eddie Murphy</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">&#8220;Forever After&#8221; will see Shrek striking a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to regain his ogre mojo. After getting hitched to ogress Fiona and having triplets, Shrek &#8220;has lost his roar&#8221; that used to send villagers running away in terror. &#8220;Now they run to him and ask him to sign their pitchforks and torches,&#8221; said director Mike Mitchell.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">According to USA Today that got a hand of the stills, the pact will go awry and &#8220;Shrek must confront what life would be like in Far Far Away if he had never existed.&#8221; This results in Donkey being forced into cart-pulling duty, fat and lazy Puss in Boots trading his sword for a pink bow and the underhanded Rumpelstiltskin ruling the kingdom.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">With the good news comes the bad news. &#8220;Forever After&#8221; will not only be the latest installment but also the final. &#8220;All that was loved about Shrek in the first film is brought to the final film,&#8221; Bill Damaschke, head of creative production at DreamWorks, confirmed. As a homage to the entire franchise, Mitchell said that the last film will see a &#8220;happily ever after&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">The movie which will be in 3D is slated to hit theaters in U.S. on May 21, 2010 with the first trailer attached to &#8220;<a rel="tag" href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/movie/avatar/">Avatar</a>&#8221; on December 18. <a rel="tag" href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/celebrity/mike_myers/">Mike Myers</a> and <a rel="tag" href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/celebrity/cameron_diaz/">Cameron Diaz</a> are back as the voices of Shrek and Fiona.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Given the seriousness of my last two posts, I thought I&#8217;d mix it up a bit with a whole bunch of random stuff from the last 2 days!</p>
<p>Although I use the word &#8220;random&#8221; loosely. &#8220;Random&#8221; is defined as:</p>
<blockquote><p>Having no specific pattern, arrangement or predictable outcome.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well if &#8220;<strong>everything happens for a reason</strong>&#8220;, it flies in the face of random. So there&#8217;s food for thought! But I digress <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2>&#8220;Lorraine Valmoria is happy&#8221;</h2>
<p>I did say I was going to get away from serious stuff, but heck, we&#8217;re all entitled to change our minds! This&#8217;ll be quick&#8230;</p>
<p>This is my current Facebook status: &#8220;Lorraine Valmoria is happy&#8221;, with 4 &#8220;likes&#8221; and 2 comments.</p>
<p>I updated it the other day, very early in the morning, when I was reflecting on the events of that day:</p>
<ul>
<li>Had a great conversation with Sharyn over the phone &#8211; my best friend from high school. We lost contact for 10 years after school, but with the wonders of Facebook, we found each other again &#8211; and it was like nothing changed! I love friendships like that!</li>
<li>Had lunch with my best friend Bernie and Jono (otherwise known as &#8221;Chris Isaak&#8221;)</li>
<li>Caught up with my work girlfriend Carolyn</li>
<li>Caught up with Lina over the phone</li>
<li>Had fascinating Facebook chats with Oscar &#38; Luke&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>And it made me realise how lucky I am to have such amazing friends! I don&#8217;t think I say this anywhere near often enough, but I just wanted to say<strong> thank you</strong> and I&#8217;m glad I have you in my life! Ok everyone&#8230; now group hug! 1&#8230; 2&#8230; 3&#8230; aww&#8230;.</p>
<p>(It&#8217;s amazing how pop culture has influenced us. Damn you Full House!).</p>
<h2>Woodford &#38; Co </h2>
<p>Ok you fashionistas! I came across a brand called &#8220;<a href="http://www.woodfordandco.com.au/" target="_blank">Woodford &#38; Co</a>&#8221; in <a href="http://www.cactusjam.com.au/" target="_blank">Cactus Jam</a> QV the other day. I really liked this top &#8211; it was different &#8211; had a print of a map for Martha&#8217;s Vineyard all over it. (&#8220;That&#8217;s different&#8221;, I hear you say). But at $269? I decided it against it.</p>
<p>If I had to liken it to a brand, I&#8217;d say <a href="http://zimmermannwear.com/" target="_blank">Zimmerman</a>, although they do have more casual stuff like tees, singlets.</p>
<p>As luck would have it, thanks to <a href="http://www.missyconfidential.com.au/" target="_blank">Missy Confidential</a> (sign up you shopaholics!), they had a sale on. Thank you universe!</p>
<p>So I scoped it out. Not only did they have that top at half the price, but I picked up a whole bunch of cool current season stuff at a fraction of retail price &#8211; a cropped red gingham jacket, a singlet, and an awesome black pinafore top with a frilled racer back. Aaah, nothing like a bit of retail therapy!</p>
<p>What impressed me further was the sale was on a &#8220;Level 1&#8243;, which meant I couldn&#8217;t take a pram (I&#8217;ve been there before), and the girls working there were nice enough to carry Tahlia around and keep her entertained while I tried on clothes. How&#8217;s that for service!</p>
<p>Anyway, that sale finishes tomorrow if anyone is interested.</p>
<h2>Nobody jeans sale</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re into your jeans, check out the <a href="http://www.nobody.com.au/" target="_self">Nobody</a> sale at 210 Brunswick St, Fitzroy &#8211; finishes Sunday December 6. Jeans from $20. (Thanks again Missy Confidential!).</p>
<p>I have to warn you, you have to rifle through a lot of stock. I had a quick look but gave up &#8211; had to get somewhere, and I had Tahlia with me which makes it hard to go into those makeshift change rooms! Had good stuff there though!</p>
<h2>What happens when stay-at-home mums have too much time on their hands&#8230;</h2>
<p>This is probably going to come back and haunt me &#8211; Tahlia will probably put me in a nursing home the first chance she gets!</p>
<p>So An from mother&#8217;s club (which has somehow dwindled down into a &#8220;mother&#8217;s duo&#8221;, consisting of her &#38; I) had a playdate arranged for her gorgeous boy Jayden and Tahlia. Jayden is Tahlia&#8217;s boyfriend. With Jayden a week younger, she&#8217;s already gotten into toyboys early! Check out them out on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4KvzfHaT3w" target="_blank">Youtube</a> &#8211; funny stuff!  </p>
<p>With Christmas on its way, I thought it would be funny to be a Mrs Claus outfit for Tahlia. Likewise, An bought a Santa Claus outfit for Jayden. And here&#8230; is the result:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> <a href="http://lvalmoria.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/claus-twins.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-40 aligncenter" title="Claus twins" src="http://lvalmoria.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/claus-twins.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Tahlia is not looking impressed <em>at all</em>. *sigh*. Oh well, it amused me!!!</p>
<p>Mind you, this isn&#8217;t the first time An &#38; I have ganged up on our kids. See Exhibit B:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://lvalmoria.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/superheroes.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-42  aligncenter" title="Superheroes" src="http://lvalmoria.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/superheroes.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I love being a mum! Hehe!</p>
<h2>Another reason why America is so stupid</h2>
<p> An has lots and lots of movies to watch at her place, and she introduced me to <strong><a href="http://www.foodincmovie.com/about-the-film.php" target="_blank">Food, Inc</a></strong>. It&#8217;s along the same vein as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/" target="_blank">Super Size Me</a>, and it provides insight into the American food industry. To summarise:</p>
<ul>
<li>how multinationals control the American agriculture industry, to the detriment of the farmers who are screwed over for the sake of dinero</li>
<li>this control is largely brought about by the dominance of the fast food industry (fast food over there is cheaper than good, wholesome food)</li>
<li>in search of the dollar, they engineer chickens, cows etc to grow quicker than usual. Some of the footage they showed was really sad &#8211; like these chickens who couldn&#8217;t even walk because they grew too quickly and their poor little legs couldn&#8217;t support their body weight. And I had a pet chicken when I was younger (&#8220;Blackdot&#8221;) so that part got to me. *sob. (And yeah I know&#8230; a pet chicken. I&#8217;m freakin&#8217; Asian!)</li>
<li>multinationals have &#8220;patented&#8221; soybeans which have infiltrated the farming industry, to the point where it is illegal to save your own &#8220;public&#8221; seeds and plant them the following year</li>
<li>they have VEGGIE LIBEL LAWS. Wtf?? Yes that&#8217;s right &#8211; you can&#8217;t criticise a vegetable anymore without risk of being sued</li>
<li>they cleaned hamburger filler with AMMONIA. Yup, the stuff that&#8217;s in your household bleach&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>A whole bunch of other stuff happened, but watch it to expand your mind. Mind you, it did put me off food &#8211; for a second. An &#38; I have since concluded the Australian industry is completely different, so we can happily go on in ignorance. But&#8230; I&#8217;m still thinking about the movie&#8230;</p>
<h2>Ice cream!! Ice cream!!</h2>
<p>I luuurve ice cream. Gelati. Sorbet. Heck, I ain&#8217;t fussy. I&#8217;ll have it all. And at the same time too.</p>
<p>Well An has introduced me to <a href="http://www.homeicecream.com/" target="_blank">Home Ice Cream</a>. Now I&#8217;ve been hearing their school bell-like chime going off in the neighbourhood for a while, but never knew what it was. And man &#8211; have I been missing out! I sampled a mango &#38; macadamia ice cream yesterday at An&#8217;s&#8230; and hmm&#8230; oishii! Really creamy stuff! I&#8217;m hooked!</p>
<p>And while I was putting Tahlia in the car afterwards, I heard the bell. I swear I almost channelled Eddie Murphy from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JfMCBh1sJQ" target="_blank">Delirious</a> - remember that scene? &#8221;IIIIIICE CREAAAM!! IIIIICE CREAAAAM!!&#8221;. Now I&#8217;m hanging out to hear that bell in my street!!!</p>
<p>Hi&#8230;. my name is Lorraine&#8230; and I&#8217;m an addict. lol</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Shrek y Rumpelstiltskin</p>
<p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-11-24-shrek-forever-after_N.htm" target="_blank">USA Today</a> reveló un primer vistazo a la animación de la Dreamworks denominada “<a href="http://cinecinecine.com/tag/shrek-forever-after">Shrek Forever After</a>” la cual es la cuarta y última película de la serie.</p>
<p>Esta cinta saldrá en el cine y en IMAX en 3D el 21 de mayo. El primer trailer será develado con la película de Avatar de James Cameron, la cual tiene una fecha de estreno del 18 de diciembre.</p>
<p>El director Mike Mitchel dijo:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“<a href="http://cinecinecine.com/tag/shrek">Shrek</a> se siente que ya está domesticado en esta cuarta parte. Ya perdió su rugido. Acostumbraba mandar a los aldeano corriendo y gritando de terror y ahora ellos corren hacia él y le piden que firme sus tridentes y sus antorchas.</em></p>
<p><em>Para recuperar su magia de ogro, hace un trato con Rumpelstiltskin, ese problemático personaje que saliera de ratitos en Shrek 2 y 3.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Se había rumorado de que las voz de Paul McCartney iba a ser la del villano pero ahorita se sabe que Walt Dohrn será el que haga los honores.</p>
<p>Tanto Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy y Cameron Diaz están de vuelta para hacer sus voces en la película y nuevos comediantes se integran a esta movie como Kathy Griffin y Kristin Schaal como las brujas que cazan ogros. Del lado de los buenos esta un grupo de la resistencia liderados por John Hamm de MadMen quien la hace de “el ogro más guapo que jamás hayas visto”</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Imagine That Standard DVD</strong></span></p>
<p>What if your daughter’s imagination was the secret to your success? When a highly competitive money mogul (Eddie Murphy) finds his financial kingdom slipping, he turns to his 7-year-old daughter (Yara Shahidi) and her fantasy world of imaginary princesses for help.

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Angels &#38; Demons 2 Disc Extended Edition DVD</strong></span></p>
<p>The team behind the global phenomenon <em>The Da Vinci Code</em> returns for the highly anticipated <em>Angels &#38; Demons</em>, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown.

When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican&#8217;s only hope for survival.

<description><![CDATA[Owen Wilson finds himself in yet another action-buddy comedy. This time he is teamed with Eddie Murp]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft" title="ispy" src="http://thanmoreseries.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/i-spy-i-spy-2002-9905015.jpg?w=286&#038;h=425" alt="" width="286" height="425" />Owen Wilson finds himself in yet another action-buddy comedy. This time he is teamed with Eddie Murphy in a remake of the 1960’s TV series “I-Spy”.</p>
<p>Aspiring secret agent, Alexander Scott (Owen Wilson) wants to be taken seriously. Scott always seems stuck in the shadow of the agency’s top spy, Carlos (Gary Cole). Scott gets his chance when the agency assigns him to recover a top-secret stealth aircraft known as the “Switchblade”. To aid him on his cover, the president assigns Scott to travel with boxing champion Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy) who is journeying to Eastern Europe for a fight.</p>
<p>Before Scott knows it showboating Robinson is as much involved in the mission as he is. Will this unlikely duo be able to stop the likes of vicious arms-dealer Arnold Gundars (Malcolm McDowell)? More importantly will Scott ever get the proper respect he is looking for?</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="ispy2" src="http://img.movieberry.com/static/photos/2769/15_midi.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="323" />“I-Spy” is a light and funny action comedy that expands on both the quick wit of Murphy and the comedic charms of Wilson. Murphy seems to be reliving his days of old as he over-acts his Robinson character with such style. I haven’t seen Eddie this fresh and funny since “Beverly Hills Cop 2”.</p>
<p>His performance also reminded me some of the character he created in the “Golden Child” as well. I am one of the few people who liked that movie. There were signs of the former Eddie Murphy in last year’s “Showtime” but here the old Eddie seems to be back. And thank goodness since I was getting so sick of Eddie’s versions of “The Nutty Professor” and “Doctor Doolittle”.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="ispy3" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/moviereviews/images/ispy/ispy6.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="450" />There are some great comedic moments in “I-Spy” like when Alex Scott (Wilson) is shown what gadgets he will be using for his mission then Scott sees what his rival Carlos (Cole) gets. This is a classic rip-off of the infamous “Q” scenes in the James Bond films.</p>
<p>By far the best part of the movie is the constant squabbling between Wilson and Murphy. There comedic timing is hilarious and Murphy does such a wonderful job of over-acting Robinson’s arrogance. I loved the moments where Eddie Murphy’s Kelly Robinson would refer to himself in the third person. Such as, “This isn’t the way Kelly Robinson is supposed to die!” or “What do you mean Kelly Robinson isn’t going to get his parade?”</p>
<p>As for a story, this film has a very basic one and Malcolm McDowell plays your typical cardboard villain. But these aren’t the reasons I liked “I-Spy” so much. I liked it because it was fresh and funny.</p>
<p>The scenes where they are poking fun at the “spy-genre” are some of the best parodies I have seen aimed at that genre. Sure you have Austin Powers but that was focused on the cult-like quality and style of the 1960s.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="ispy4" src="http://www.sptimes.com/2002/11/11/photos/xprs-i-spy.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="299" />“I-Spy” aims more at the updated and recent spy kind of films like James Bond (Brosnan era), Tom Clancy films and others.</p>
<p>Just sit back, relax and forget about the world for a good hour and thirty minutes. That’s all you have to do to enjoy “I-Spy”.</p>
<p>3.5 out of 5</p>
<p>So Says the Soothsayer.</p>

<p>You might not expect a tune like &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; to pop up on the <em>Shrek</em> soundtrack, but it sure has. Rufus Wainwright covered the tune for the first film of the <em>Shrek</em> series. </p>
<p>For those who have not yet heard this version, fear not of its association with the children&#8217;s movie: Eddie Murphy does NOT make a guest appearance in the song.</p>
<p><a href="http://kmtt.radiotown.com/audio/shawn/rufus_hallelujah.mp3" target="_blank">Rufus Wainwright &#8211; Hallelujah</a></p>
<p>Which &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; is the definitive version? I&#8217;m opening up a vote once we sample one more version of the song. I&#8217;ll do that tomorrow&#8230; so check back for details! </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The Movie Overdose attempts to contain the apocalypse with a review of Roland Emmerich&#8217;s 2012. We chat about how we would change Eddie Murphy for the better, what kind of sequel we want for Star Trek and whether we are glad to see Sean Connery coming back, if only in voice form. Tom slightly dampens the praise given to An Education and Sam revels in the madness of Running Scared and the flawed ambition of Dogma. The conclusion involves a discussion of actors that, no matter what, we always look forward to seeing on screen.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2655" title="twatlight cycle 13" src="http://heartsfordinner.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/twatlight-cycle-13.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>After a time-wasting sequence that took nearly two and a half minutes away from my life I could’ve used to watch <em>Modern Family</em> with, the Last Munchkins Standing prepared for their CoverGirl commercials, held in some weird Hawaiian version of the <em>Twilight</em> forest minus those bad-acting sparkly vampires.  Something joined them in said forest.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="teyonasaurus" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm123/hollymarchosias/stupid%20shit/teyonasaurus.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p>Instead of sparkly vampires we have ANTM winner dinosaurs.  I&#8217;d consider this an upgrade.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Along with Teyonasaurus Rex, Nigel showed up to ruin the CoverGirl shoot with his massive chest hair.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="GASTON" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm123/hollymarchosias/stupid%20shit/GASTON.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p>The only odd thing about the shoot: Jay’s green coat (jacket?).  It was late spring in Hawaii when this was shot. I’m lost.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">***</p>

<p>Well, at least Gilles Bensimon is back!</p>

<p>Tyra showed up at the house for one-on-ones with the Munchkins, which was <a href="http://heartsfordinner.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/britain%E2%80%99s-next-top-model-cycle-5-episode-12-the-finally-part-ii/">already done on this past season of <em>Britain’s Next Top Model</em>,</a> but because Tyra did it in this cycle, it was her idea first and she was the only person ever to do this.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">***</p>
<p><strong>The Water Orgy and Other Runway Facts</strong></p>
<p>1)<strong><br />

<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p>At the runway show J and Jay decided to let the home audience know there are decoys in every season of <em>America’s Next Top Model,</em> only this season they didn’t bother hiding the ejected Munchkins with the other hired models so said Munchkins could have a water orgy on the runway.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2658" title="water orgy" src="http://heartsfordinner.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/water-orgy.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Yes, it’s cleaner than <a href="http://heartsfordinner.wordpress.com/2009/05/16/antm-cycle-12-episode-13-the-sexiest-episode-ever/">last cycle’s “mud” (or was it poop?) orgy</a> (sans ridiculous glitter) and just as awfully yet hilariously bad.</p>

<p>Lady GaGa did it better.</p>

<p>were at this bad display of artificial natural elements called a &#8220;runway show.&#8221; there. This is not remotely important, but they were there.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">I heard <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeterosexualLifePartners">they</a> were the new makeup sponsors for Cycle 14.</p>

<p>Other than the fact she could&#8217;ve auditioned for a non-Munchkin season, thus making this season completely unnecessary, there are no words.  See you next season where hopefully the drinking and smoking bans are lifted, Ann Shoket finally finds herself on the curb with <em>Seventeen</em> and Tyra tries to prove she can get along with women (yeah, right).*</p>
<p><em><a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/11/tyra_banks_reportedly_recruite.html">*Okay, so statement three may be true.</a> But I&#8217;m still holding out hope for the first two statements to happen.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://horiwood.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/willferrellisoverpaid.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-39557" title="Will Ferrell" src="http://horiwood.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/willferrellisoverpaid.jpg" alt="" width="393" height="600" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Ryan Seacrest</strong> and <strong>Simon Cowell </strong>should top this list, for playing &#8216;Hollywood guys&#8217; who are &#8216;qualified&#8217; to find America&#8217;s next top singing talent.</p>
<p>(Jokes) but <strong><em>Forbes Magazine</em></strong> has released their <a title="Hollywood's most overpaid actors" href="http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/11/18/will-ferrell-overpaid-stars-forbes/" target="_blank">list</a> of the ten most overpaid actors in the Hollywood film industry for 2009. The findings are based on what actors got paid by studios and what they returned per dollar back to the studio via the box office.</p>
<p>The findings weed out the older talent posturing themselves as big stars and make room for the newbies like the Efrons, Lautners, Pattinsons of Hollywood&#8217;s rising stars.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the list of most overpaid actors:</p>
<p>1. Will Ferrell ($3.29)<br />
2. Ewan McGregor ($3.75)<br />
<!--more-->3. Billy Bob Thornton ($4.00)<br />
4. Eddie Murphy ($4.43)<br />
5. Ice Cube ($4.77)<br />
6. Tom Cruise ($7.18)<br />
7. Drew Barrymore ($7.43)<br />
8. Leonardo DiCaprio ($7.52)<br />
9. Samuel L. Jackson ($8.59)<br />
10. Jim Carrey ($8.62)</p>
<p>Ouch! Sucks to be Will Ferrell. In fairness to these blokes on this list, it was a recession so they can&#8217;t be held entirely to blame for low box office returns. For a woman to even appear in this list, like Drew Barrymore is an achievement, not an embarrassment when competing against the blokes. So go Drew Barrymore!</p>

<description><![CDATA[La revista Forbes, puñetera ella, acaba de publicar la lista de los actores menos amados en Hollywoo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1723 aligncenter" title="WillFerrell_350x435" src="http://celuloidesensujugo.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/willferrell_350x435.jpg?w=213" alt="" width="213" height="300" /></p>
<p>La revista <em>Forbes</em>, puñetera ella, acaba de publicar la lista de los actores menos amados en Hollywood. En realidad, lo que recopila esta publicación es la relación de los intérpretes menos rentables. Pero tal y como está el patio, con Hollywood más en plan industria que nunca, mirando cada céntimo invertido en una producción, no resultar rentable equivale a no ser querido&#8230; o, directamente, a ser odiado. He ahí el pecado de estos hombres (y una mujer): sacarle poco jugo a sus sueldos, más o menos generosos, pero soñados por cualquier mortal.</p>
<p>Se lleva la palma Will Ferrel, actor ¿cómico? que no deja de embarcarse en proyectos a cual más fallidos y que recauda 3,29 dólares por cada uno que se embolsa. Esta cifra, así, sin ponerla en contexto puede dejarnos fríos, pero acudamos a la socorrida comparación que nos proporciona la propia <em>Forbes</em>: en el extremo opuesto, la antítesis de Ferrell, el tierno Shia LaBeouf, gracias a sus dos <em>Transformers</em>, genera 160 dólares por película. ¡Casi 50 veces más que Ferrell! Tremendo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.canaltcm.com/estrenos/post/2009/11/19/estrellas-arruinan-pelis-10-actores-y-1-actriz-menos">Aquí se puede consultar ambas listas, la de los losers y la de los winners</a>. Para los que sientan pereza ante el trámite, vaya por delante que a Ferrell, entre los menos rentables, le siguen Ewan McGregor, Billy Bob Thornton, Eddie Murphy y Ice Cube. Menudo plantel. Salvo Billy Bob, y en menor medida Ewan, el resto son para echarles de comer aparte (Ice Cube no debe ser siquiera considerado actor). En el otro extremo de la balanza, a LaBeouf le siguen James McAvoy, Michael Cera, Daniel Radcliffe y Robert Downey Jr.</p>
<p>Conclusión: para ser rentable hay que saber actuar (un mínimo), elegir bien el proyecto y, a poder ser, caer en una de esas superproducciones que hacen muchos dólares. Claro que a estas listas tampoco hay que concederles más importancia de la necesaria: si tu caché es bajo, es fácil que salgas bien parado en términos de productividad, y viceversa. Lo grave para Ferrell y compañía es que, a buen seguro, los ejecutivos de Hollywood sí se toman estas cosas muy, pero que muy en serio.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Los escritores Sam Pitman y Adam Cole-Kelly vendieron esta comedia de clasificación para adultos y harán el guión. La cinta se describe como un viaje en coche a traves de Nueva York con animales que hablan.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para algunos, esta cinta puede que se asemeje a una que ya hizo Eddie Murphy en 1980 y que se llamó “Trading Places”.</p>

<description><![CDATA[OK, let&#8217;s see what I&#8217;ve got in the queue today. Hmmm&#8230; debt consolidation. A $4,000]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>OK, let&#8217;s see what I&#8217;ve got in the queue today. Hmmm&#8230; debt consolidation. A $4,000 line of credit. An invitation to meet Cherice tonight and flirt over the phone. Things are looking up for &#8216;ol Ed Honcho, baby!</p>
<p><strong>Q</strong>: So that we may prey on your biases, who are your favorite teams? And don&#8217;t wimp out and give us some politically correct hooey. We want answers!</p>
<p>- <em>Mick McMike, Point Roberts, Washington</em></p>
<p><strong>A</strong>: You&#8217;ve stumbled upon one of my weaknesses, Mick. Actually, more than one. First, your use of the word &#8220;hooey&#8221;. I&#8217;ll never be able to refuse a question that incorporates it so expertly. For instance, take this sentence: Senator Jones regaled the gathering with standard political terminology causing most of the crowd to fall asleep. Now, listen to it like this: Senator Jones regaled the gathering with standard political hooey causing most of the crowd to fall asleep. The former? Typically boring, technically proficient styling. The latter? I don&#8217;t know&#8230; there&#8217;s something to it, right? It has a little kick, like it&#8217;s been sprinkled with crushed red pepper. Chalk it up to hooey&#8230; not as it&#8217;s defined, but as it&#8217;s used&#8230; as a word. I encourage all of you to go out and spread the word, literally, of hooey.</p>
<p>As for my favorite teams, I am going to spout some politically correct hooey&#8230; I&#8217;m a journalist now, damnet&#8230; admittedly, more pseudo than actual&#8230; nonetheless, I need to start exhibiting some professionalism and impartiality. So I won&#8217;t reveal my biases, though I will give some clues. Most of my favorite teams demonstrate comedic levels of ineptitude. And I&#8217;m not talking about that G-Rated Bill Cosby stuff, or the harmless shenanigans of Gallagher&#8230; no, I&#8217;m talking Raw-era Eddie Murphy stuff, or Chapelle&#8217;s Show level rollicking. Dare I say it, they&#8217;ve gone Richard Pryor on my ass. If I weren&#8217;t such a fan, it would be uproarious. That should at least give you a start.</p>
<p><strong>Q</strong>: What kind of a name is Ed Honcho?</p>
<p>- <em>Wendell Bundlebotham, Vickerstown, Cumbria, England</em></p>
<p><strong>A</strong>: My family originally comes from the Latorca region of what is today Bereg county in eastern Hungary. My great great great grandfather, Fessler Hunszas, entered Ellis Island on January 3rd, 1892, where he was given the name Wesley Honcho. And so it was that the Honchos came to America. As for Ed, my mother was hooked on Mr. Ed reruns when I was born. Other than my good buddy Secretariat Jones, I&#8217;m the only one I know named after a horse. I do take sort of a twisted pride in it, yes.</p>
<p><strong>Q</strong>: You&#8217;re like a film/music critic trashing somebody&#8217;s art without ever having tried it yourself. I bet you&#8217;ve never played a sport in your life.</p>
<p>- <em>Wally Wednesday, Little Elm, Texas</em></p>
<p><strong>A</strong>: Can we get the questions in the form of questions, please? I don&#8217;t ask for much&#8230; just everything you&#8217;ve got plus 53%&#8230; and still you torture me with your incompetence. Am I asking  too much? Should I scale it back? I mean, I thought you could give that much. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was wrong.</p>
<p>And I was about to defend myself against these heinously false allegations, when I thought to myself&#8230; why? I&#8217;m Ed Honcho. EMFH. Why should I stoop to mentioning my state championships and MVP awards? Why should I belittle my accomplishments&#8230; accomplishments such as my All-American award, and national championships&#8230; by using them to defend myself against someone that goes by Wally Wednesday? Why should I use my Espy, and my Heisman Trophy, and my Nobel Athletics Award, to prove myself to you? And you know what? I didn&#8217;t have a good answer for myself, so I&#8217;m not gonna do it. Next question.</p>
<p><strong>Q</strong>: Try this on for size; Ben Johnson is to integrity as Ed Honcho is to ________.</p>
<p>- Archer Daubee, Discovery Bay, California</p>
<p><strong>A</strong>: Annoying posters who don&#8217;t phrase their questions in the form of questions. That is to say, I treat it like a bitch. Now that&#8217;s some top-notch language twisting there!</p>
<p><strong>Q</strong>: English Premier League, ten years hence&#8230; is there still a Big Four?</p>
<p>- Buford Buckley, Semmes, Alabama</p>
<p><strong>A</strong>: Yes, but it might not be the same four teams. The issue here, is that the EPL has four Champions League spots. As long as that&#8217;s the case, it&#8217;s going to create a system that allows four teams to dominate. Does Manchester City enter that foursome? I don&#8217;t know. Aston Villa? Maybe. Everton? Could be, though it seems less likely by the day. Tottenham Hotspur? God I hope not. Nothing against Spurs, everything against &#8216;Arry. But once one of those teams breaks through (and it will happen, that I guarantee), the snowball effect kicks in. Signing new, better players becomes easier. Selling tickets, shirts, various scarves and other knick-knacks becomes easier. Making money becomes easier. Conversely (but related), the team that misses out on the Champions League begins to lose players, and those players have to be replaced with inferior players, as quality players want to play in the Champions League, etc&#8230; etc&#8230; It&#8217;s a slippery slope, and it helps to maintain England&#8217;s big four.</p>
<p><strong>Q</strong>: Is your fantasy football team really 3-7 this year?</p>
<p>- Joseph J. Levine, Austin, Texas</p>
<p><strong>A</strong>: Pffffft. What? Please. Where did you hear that? That&#8217;s ridiculous. An expert like myself, 3-7. The very idea is laughable&#8230; but&#8230; let&#8217;s just say I was 3-7&#8230; and I&#8217;m not, cause that would be ridiculous&#8230; but let&#8217;s just say, hypothetically, that I was. It would only be because I was getting completely screwed by injuries and matchups. Like, and again, this is hypothetical&#8230; like having the 4th highest points in the league but playing the wrong teams. Or losing by 2, 4, 3, 7, 2 and 8 points. Or stupid Greg Jennings playing more like <a title="Jonathan Jennings" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/JonathanJennings.jpg" target="_blank">Jonathan Jennings</a>. Or Jason Witten doing his best Kyle-Brady-but-worse impersonation. Or Beanie Wells fumbling. Or Eddie Royal sucking. Or Ryan Grant becoming decidedly average for a 3rd round pick!&#8230;. All hypothetically, of course. But wow, you&#8217;ve got me steamed just thinking about what that would be like. The idea is so preposterous that&#8230; you know what, this mailbag&#8217;s over, yo.</p>

It reached 32 Degrees celsius in the afternoon and immediately the day started flooding back memories of the ice cream truck and Eddie Murphy&#8217;s classic stand up comedy video &#8216;Delirious&#8217;, god knows I&#8217;ve worn that tape out during the 80&#8217;s. </p>
