Actor Corey Haim was reportedly found dead this morning. The apparent reason is possibly due to an overdose of drugs. He was 38. Senior officials told that they were called to the St. Joseph’s hospital in Burbank shortly before 4 AM to investigate.

Corey Haim shot to faim during the 1980’s in movies like “The lost boys” beside Corey Feldman. Haim had reportedly suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001 and was taken to the UCLA Medical Center. He had also been in and out of Rehab 15 times, but cleaned up his problems after moving to Tornato.

Trashing the reports Kathy Ireland has hit back saying that she was not drunk at the oscars on 7th March, instead she was just overjoyed to be invited. The lady has drawn comments from internet and magzine critics as she interviewed the star of High School Musical Zac Efron during a pre-Oscars special on TV. The viewers who were watching the interview questioned her soberity.

But the mum of three has assured her fans that it was only because she was just overjoyed. Following a series of posts on twitter.com she wrote ”(I) cannot please everyone… and frankly I wouldn’t ever want to. Don’t feel embarrassed for me. Had a blast and it was so much FUN!”

A post following that said-

“No meds (medication) or alcohol… just J.O.Y.! Never use drugs and that as a Mom is not a cool or funny suggestion (sic)… Some say I looked pregnant. LOL (laugh out loud)! Not true… others say I was drinking… Just excited to be involved. Grateful.”

Maybe she wasn’t drunk after all but the way she is handling the situation might just bring her fan following a bit down.

When I was first told about The Crazies, I thought it was a remake of the 1973 film by George A. Romero. But this movie I doubt is ever been as much fun. The film starts with a military plane carrying a biological weapon crashing in a town named Iowa. The people get infected by the biological weapon and hence they make a run for their lives.

The Crazies isn’t movie about zombies but somehow it more or less tends to be a zombie movie. The only difference is that here there is no faceless guy killing people, instead it is your own friends, relatives and others you know infected by the biological weapon causing them to act out of their minds. Such a kind of tragedy the level of emotion built into this zombie (and zombie-like)movie is heart taking. Well here there are no bad guys. Your relatives are the one who threaten you, try to kill them, etc etc. No love lost at the end, as usual. The infected could very well be your wife, friends or children. The survival aspect is that you will have to kill someof them to stop them from killing you, eating your brains, chewing your face off or lighting you on fire.

Good horror movies always relate well with their time period. Romero knows this. He has mixed horror with elements of social commentary. The Crazies is well paced and has earnedrespect of its predecessor. Rather than reinventing the genre, he has hit all the right note all at once. Not bad from the guy who made Sahara.

It has come to our ears that Johnny Depp aka Jack Sparrow wants The Pirate Of Caribbean Series to go on. The actor is amazed that he is able to work on something he loves so much and would be happy to reprise the role forever. ”I am eager to get back into my costume” he said speaking to the magazine. In his opinion the Caribbean series should never end. He even added that he was willingly ready to act for other forthcoming series as well.
The actor has been paid $31.5 million to appear in the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. During the making of the first movie he realised that he was obessed with his character. No wonder the rumors are true that Johnny Depp has pirate blood in him. He was quoted saying that ”As filming winds down, you hear the clock ticking because you know you’re going to leave your character behind and a kind of odd separation anxiety kicks in. You get irritable and just sort of melancholy. That’s what happened to me when we wrapped the first ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’ I realized I was going to miss Captain Jack.” Though Depp is doing the fourth sequence his co-stars from the other films Kiera Knightley, Orlando Bloom are not appearing in the forthcoming sequence.

Well the much awaited Alice in the Wonderland(3D) has finally hit the screens. In this short span the movie has produced quite a buzz around itself. Tim Burton has spent most of his past filling up his resume with highly successful movies, but this time Tim Burton has not reached the viewers expectations. Though there is use of hitech technology, it still fails to gain reputation for the movie.

3D has not been used effectively in the movie. The stuff for which 3D has been used is nothing more than to show a sequence of things thrown at the screen. Not because it adds depth to the story, but so that people in the back row will ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’. Even the quieter moments weren’t impressive. The 3D was supposed to be the selling point for the movie. When one of the main selling points of a movie ends then it just takes us out of the movie. Therefore I wuold have gone for a 2D movie.

Casting stars like Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter seems to be a big thing. But the truth is that they have not been able to add much colour to the movie. Johnny Depp seems to be doing more or less the same acting these days for all his movies(aye aye Captain….).

Though I would say that Burton’s adaptation of novel till date is best. But a little better use of 3D and a more open role for the actors may have helped  the movie achieve more. This movie will be great mostly for young audience who will enjoy the visual effects as well as Alice’s adventure.

It is obvious from the title that Valentines Day is centered on that day of the year and the theme of love. Los Angeles is the backdrop for loosely connected stories that show love over the generations, from schoolboy crush, sex for the first time, break-up’s, and a marriage that has lasted 50 years.

Given the warm and heartfelt nature of the film it will not be any surprise for you to learn that it was directed by Garry Marshall, the man behind ‘Pretty Woman’ and ‘Beaches’, to name just a couple of examples. Although some people may feel that the romantic notion of the film is a little overdone and not realistic I believe that the film does not take itself too seriously, which is a real strength.

Valentine’s Day has  warm atmosphere throughout. This warmth gives it a real holiday feel, and makes it suited to almost any romantic occasion. At 125 minutes it is rather long for a romantic comedy, but it is so appealing that the time flies by.

This news made all brand conscious fashion lovers really go crazy. The collection includes jeans, shirts and sweaters, which are designed by Juan Cervantes but the idea is of Justin Timberlake. The brand and the clothing range were appreciated by many Hollywood Celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Paris Hilton, McDreamy and many more.

According to Justin, the clothing brand is a representative of the place where we come from and has also got little edge. The fashion show was organized for this big launch, but it was not a typical fashion show. Many models and Celebrities attended this show. Justin along with some of his close friends also worked as a fit model for the outfits. There were many new products like Italian suit, which were added to the clothing range after that exciting launch.

Percy is joined by his two young co-stars including Athena’s warrior-daughter Annabeth (Alexandria Daddario) on what is essentially a road trip to confront Hades. Along the way all kind of interesting adventures ensue where our young hero meets a variety of famous mythological figures including Uma Thurman who plays a stunning Medusa.

Although I was vaguely reminded of the story of Odysseus in Homer’s Odyssey it’s doubtful that the kids that this film is aimed at will make that connection, and nor should they.  The mythological world of the Greek Gods is occasionally used as a movie backdrop and the figures, including Medusa and a Centaur, played by Pierce Brosnan, are always entertaining for kids as they are so fantastic. All in all this is a very enjoyable movie for the whole family even if the plot is a little confusing at times.

The misty, dark streets of London, and the general gloom of the English countryside are the perfect settings for this remake of the classic 1941 horror film of the same name. Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman, is lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father, Talbot sets out to find his brother… and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.

The Wolfman features an outstanding cast, including Benicio Del Toro, who gives a great depth to the lead character when it would have been so easy to become a caricature, to Hugo Weaving’s clinical detective, who brings morality to an otherwise stock antagonist role. All of the actors are talented and experienced enough to avoid ‘stealing’ the film from eachother. This is very fortunate given that this film needed to live up to the original.

Director Joe Johnston has made an entertaining and clever film that does not outshine the original but certainly by no means fails miserably either. As mentioned, the cinematography is impressive, as is the musical score.

The Wolfman in this film is as violent as any werewolf that has been portrayed on screen. Horror fans will love the mountains of gore, and the suspense conjured up by director Joe Johnston.

Tiger Woods spoke publicly on Friday for the first time since the sex scandal emerged after hiding out for more than two months. Woods admitted he had bitterly disappointed his family, friends and fans but made no mention of the women with whom he is alleged to have had affairs.

Miss James, claimed she was twice made pregnant by Woods. The first one was is June of 2007, almost the same time Woods’wife Elin Nordegren got pregnant, but she suffered a miscarriage while Elin delivered a baby girl; the second pregnancy is in February last year, but she turned to abortion while Woods’ son born.

According to Miss James, she and Woods often have sex without condom, but she kept her pregnancy to herself because she didn’t want to ruin the relationship.

Miss James’ lawyer Gloria Allred urged Woods to make a direct apology to her client. She said Miss James gave up the porn business at Woods request and went into hiding when the scandal broke in order to protect him.

“I would be open to a telephone apology from Tiger but I really feel that I deserve to look at him face to face … in his eyes because I didn’t deserve this,” said Miss James on a news conference.
