Last House on the Left (Remake)
Author: RL
ShockTillYouDrop released the first pics of the upcoming remake of Wes Craven's 70s Rape & Gorefest Last House on the Left. The original drew a shit load of controversy due to its disturbing death scenes and consequently was given the tag of "It's Only A Movie..." for it's marketing.
The story tells about a pair of adventurous teen girls that are kidnapped, raped and murdered by a gang of thugs. The killers unwittingly hole up in the home of one victim's parents, who, upon realizing what their guests did, devise gruesome revenge.
The movie is set to release later this year.

Durant Gets Rookie of the Year Nod
Author: RL
I was picking Durant all along, but Horford (Atlanta) was creepin behind him as the Hawks started to make a move towards the playoffs. I'm not mad at the decision though. The official Announcement will be made Thursday.
So is Oden going to be considered an "official" rookie next year?

Brandon Routh Talks "Man of Steel"
Author: RL
Here's an interview from Comingsoon.Net where the new generation "Supe" talks about his new movie Lie to Me as well as the sequel (or continuation...you call it) to Superman Returns Man of Steel. I really hope there's more action in this one. But I'm seeing it regardless...
CS: Do you have any expectation as to when you might go to work on "Man of Steel"?
Routh: I expect that we'll be working early next year. I know that Bryan [Singer] has pretty much finished out "Valkyrie" and is back in the states and is zeroing in on the story that he wants to tell. Once that arrives it's going to move pretty quickly. I think that everybody is getting excited. It's been three years now, really. It's hard to believe that it's been long, but everyone is getting jazzed and ready to go again. I certainly am.

Riley Steps Down As Heat Coach
Author: RL
Saw this one coming. The off season looks like it'll be an interesting one with Riley now taking care of getting the right guys here.
MIAMI (AP) - Pat Riley's worst season as coach of the Miami Heat will be his last.
The Hall of Famer will resign as coach Monday afternoon but remain team president, a person close to Riley said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because an announcement had yet to be made.
As team president, Riley will continue to oversee a plan to halt the team's dramatic fall after it won the NBA championship in 2006. The Heat finished this season with the NBA's worst record — 15-67.
It's believed Riley could name his replacement Monday. He has been grooming longtime assistant Erik Spoelstra for the job. That would follow the path Riley took when he previously promoted Stan Van Gundy. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Monday that Spoelstra would get the job.

Yesterday it was revealed that Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer had landed the female lead opposite Tom Hanks in Columbia Pictures' "Da Vinci Code" prequel Angels & Demons. Now, we've learned that Ewan McGregor is in talks to join the film as well.
In the thriller, based on the Dan Brown best-seller, McGregor is set to take on the role of a powerful Vatican insider who assists Langdon.
The story centers on religious art scholar Robert Langdon (Hanks), who once again finds himself entangled with powerful forces with ancient roots: the Illuminati -- the most powerful underground organization in history -- and the Catholic Church.
Ron Howard is directing from an Akiva Goldsman script.

He'll be playing a younger version of Will Smith. The movie will reunite Will with the producers and directors of Pursuit of Happiness (which I highly recommend). The story revolves around Will's character changing the lives of seven strangers.

I think this was inevitable. I've always been a Bobby Valentino fan. That slow down single still crushes chicks man lol. But he'll definitely see bigger and better pastures.
R&B singer Bobby Valentino has left Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam for the independent route. According to Billboard.com, the departure was amicable.
Valentino, who plans to release a six-track EP, followed by a full-length studio album, called his time at DTP a
"great stepping stone and learning experience. I look at this as my going off to college. It was time for me to step out on my own and show the world who Bobby Valentino the artist really is."

Not much has been released about the actual plot, but it is said that it will focus a lot on Jason's character as the original 1st film was a "whodunit" style of film with Jason following in the numerous sequels

Frank Miller's The Spirit Trailer
Author: RL
Based off his graphic novel. Should be ill.
Synopsis:
It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris (Paz Vega), a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and Morgenstern (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop. Then of course, there's Sand Saref (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him? In the vein of "Batman Begins" and "Sin City," "The Spirit" takes us on a sinister, gut-wrenching ride with a hero who is born, murdered and born again.
I should've watched this fight instead of HBO's snoozefest Saturday, but I'll get back to that in a minute. George St Pierre simply dominated Matt Serra this Saturday to be crowned the Welterweight Champ for the 2nd time. Not to say I told you so, but...basically. Serra had nothing for GSP as he was out wrestled and mauled by GSP until about 10 knee shots landed on Serra ribs for the ref to stop the fight.
Now on to Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe
This is your classic example of a fight being built up to high expectations only to be a fight parallel to a ESPN Wed Night Fights undercard. Hopkins managed to score a knock down from a straight right hand that threw Calzaghe off balance. But Bernard never capitalized on the knockdown and began throwing punches and hugging Calzaghe liked he owed him his life. Calzaghe did what he could and stayed busy throughout the fight landing at a higher percentage but never hurting Bernard. The fight ended in a controversial split decision (some "brilliant" judge scored the fight 114-113 for Bernard) making Calzaghe the new Light Heavyweight Champion of the world and still undefeated.
With Bernard now out of the way, talks of a fight later this year between Calzaghe & Roy Jones have been brought back to the surface. Look for that fight to be made soon.
As Far as BHop, hang it up my dude. You've had an incredible career.
I found this kinda funny though LOL. Saw a few of these floating around.

Hopkins vs Calzaghe Preview
Author: RL
I've been really looking forward to this fight since it was a rumored fight last year.
Calzaghe at 36 is now getting his long awaited recognition from across the pond beating guys like Jeff Lacy (who at one point was one of the top up and coming Super Middleweights), Peter Manfredo from the Contender, and then undefeated Mikkel Kessler. But his biggest test without a doubt will be Bernard Hopkins this Saturday. Bernard's slick style will be something a bit new for Calzaghe let alone fighting in Las Vegas for the 1st time.
As much as I want Bernard to win, it's still a toss up fight. Calzaghe is undefeated and can make a huge mark beating Bernard with potential fights looming against guys like Roy Jones & Kelly Pavlik. Bernard on the other is on the last stop in his career (so we think) and a win over Calzaghe can only add that last exclamation point to an already Hall of Fame career.
I have Hopkins winning a split decision, but regardless it should be a great fight.
Here's Hopkins vs Calzaghe Countdown on HBO:

Plot for X-Files 2 Revealed
Author: RL
I actually didn't see the 1st movie until it was on HBO 2 yrs later LOL. Was actually entertaining. Here's brief plot summary based off the novelization of the movie being released shortly before the movie premiers this Summer.
THE X-FILES 2008 MOVIE NOVELIZATION MMPB
by Max Allan Collins
Mulder and Scully are back in the thrilling novelization of the summer 2008 blockbuster movie based on the classic X-Files TV show! When a group of women are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced priest's questionable "visions" send local police on a wild goose chase and straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected to the women's disappearance. It's a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there somewhere...and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it!

BET & Marvel Comics recently signed a deal to air the animated series of Marvel character Black Panther. It will air sometime later in the year or possibly early '09.

Black Panther Bio
The Black Panther (T'Challa) is a character in the Marvel Comics universe who is the first modern Black superhero. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and penciller-co-plotter Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Fantastic Four vol. 1, #52 (July 1966). Although there have been numerous men who have used the Black Panther identity during the history of the Marvel Universe, this article refers solely to the modern-day Black Panther, also known by his birth name, T'Challa.
ComingSoon.Net is reporting that Eddie Murphy is attached to star in the remake of The Incredible Shrinking Man. Brett Ratner is in negotiations to direct.
An updated version of the best-selling novel and 1957 sci-fi classic starring Grant Williams, "Man" is taking the comedic approach to the fantastical material, telling the story of a famous Las Vegas magician who is put under a spell that causes him to shrink. He must find a way to reverse the spell before he gets so small that he "disappears."
Am I the only one getting tired of "PG" Eddie Murphy?
The Miguel Tejada Age Scandal (Who Cares?)
Author: RL
So Miguel Tejada apparently lied about his age...
ESPN confronted Tejada on a televised interview about the age discrepancy and seemed not to appreciate the questioning and left the interview abruptly.
The big fuss is that he was signed by the Oakland A's in 1993 when he claimed to be 19 but was really 17. But who cares? What are you going to do about it 15 years later?
"E:60" correspondent Tom Farrey presented Tejada with a copy of a birth certificate, filed by his father in his hometown of Bani, that showed he was born on May 25, 1974. The document was acquired by a Dominican law firm hired by ESPN after clerks at the town hall in Bani declared -- improperly -- that Tejada's records were confidential.

Akon: Not So Much A Convict Afterall
Author: RL
Damn...this is a big blow to the homie. According to the ever popular Smoking Gun, Akon was never convicted of crimes he claimed on an interview stating he was looking at 75 years for a ring of car thefts in New Jersey, when in actuality it was 1 stolen BMW and spent a few months in jail but was "never" convicted.
So there was no conviction. There was no prison term between 1999 and 2002. And he was never "facing 75 years," as the singer claimed in one videotaped interview.
Ouch...
