Halloween

As you all know, the festivities of the holiday Halloween have already begun and tomorrow is the big day. Kids will be "trick-or-treating" and adults will be passing out cavity-filled candy and/or scaring people. However, if you feel like your exhausted of all the fun or completely bored out of your mind, here are some of my favorite seasonal picks to get you in the mood. Now, these are just my seven seasonal picks to watch at Halloween. Don't watch them if you don't want to. My seventh favorite movie to watch at Halloween is the Tim Burton classic The Nightmare Before Christmas. In this stop motion (animated) scary flick, the king of Halloween Jack Skeleton gets tired of his signature holiday and is fascinated with Christmas when he goes to Santa's world. Jack then conjures up a diabolical scheme to take over Christmas, much to the disbelief of the townspeople of Jack's former holiday. This film is one of Tim Burton's few films that doesn't feature Johnny Depp and is a Halloween classic. If this doesn't get you a least bit interested in this holiday then I don't know what will. Then, my sixth favorite Halloween movie is another Tim Burton movie, Edward Scissorhands. In this live action spooky flick, a kind saleswoman takes in a weird man with shears for hands named Edward (played perfectly by Johnny Depp). This movie was an instant hit and is arguably the starting point of Depp's career. Next, at five is remake of the 1976 film Alice in Wonderland. In this fabulous Tim Burton film, a teenage girl revisits a familiar, strange world with smiling cats, talking crazy rabbits, and the Red Queen. Johnny Depp also costars as the iconic Mad Hatter and does a superb job. The film was an instant hit and won an Academy Award in 2011. This film will definitely leave you in a Halloween phase. Then at four, is the absolute spectacular remake of the 1979 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the ultimate remake and is also, of course, directed by Tim Burton. In this fantasy, a poor boy along with four other spoiled children are allowed to go to a recently opened chocolate factory founded by Willy Wonka (played supremely by Johnny Depp). This movie had dazzling scenery and awesome special effects and will leave you craving candy and wanting Halloween. At three is the African-American remake of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Wiz. In this 1979 fantasy, kindergarden teacher Dorothy (younger Diana Ross) is whisked away to a magical world full of witches by Glinda the Good, who is a witch herself and played by late Lena Horne. There, Dorothy meets three lads, Scarecrow (played by the awesome late great Michael Jackson), Tin Man (played by Nipsey Russel), and Lion (Ted Ross), and convinces all of them to go with her to meet the Wiz (the late Richard Pryor) and get some wishes granted. This movie has great special effects for its time period and should have been nominated for an Oscar for special effects, costumes, and score. I first saw this at the age of three and fell in love with it. This movie will put you in a "trick-or-treating" mood and feel for all of its characters. Then at two is my new favorite cartoon movie Coraline. In this powerful stop-motion picture, a girl named Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) moves to Pink Palace apartments and finds a secret door in the house. But, when she goes through the door, she finds a parallel world with the same parents but with button eyes. The world seems perfect, but Coraline finds out the true intentions of her new mother. This movie is a little frightening and weird but you will find it captivating and spell-binding. This will definitely put you in the mood of spook. Then, at number one, is the all-time favorite, the Peanuts classic, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. In this all time classic fable, blanket-loving Linus tries to convince the gang that there's a person named the Great Pumpkin and rises out of the local pumpkin patch. However, none of the other kids believe him except for Lucy and they all go trick or treating while Snoopy pretends to be the Red Baron. This movie is the best Halloween themed movie that will get you in the mood and will have you craving more Snoopy. Now that I have told you about my picks for Halloween, let's talk about some late-breaking celebrity news. As you all know, George Jefferson actor Sherman Hemsley passed away this past summer. However, he has still not been buried due to some legal disputes. In his will, Hemsley left his estate to life-long friend Flora Enchinton Bernol and only her. However, a man named Richard Thornton and a woman and son come forward claiming to be relatives of the late actor and they want the money. The three people say that it isn't about the money but if they are entitled to something, they should get it. Now, there are so many things wrong with this. First of all, we don't even know if these people are related so, before anything is done, get a DNA test and figure out whether or not they are really related. Second, if you guys say it's not about the money, then why are you showing up? If it's not about the money than just shut up and go to the funeral like everyone else. Third and lastly, this man is entitled to leave his money and estate to anyone he wants to. If he didn't leave it to you then stop trying to bring the matter back up. He left it to his friend so let it go to the friend. The man isn't even here to defend himself and you all are bickering like the Jackson family. He didn't leave it to you, and he's entitled to leave it to whoever he wants, so move on. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this week's post and keep tuning in each week to find out all of your movie and celebrity news. And remember, send me your feedback on anything I have or haven't said and I will address it in my next post. Until next time.........

Greatest Movie Franchises Countdown Part II

Last week, I went over some of the greatest, most grossing, and iconic movie franchises of all time. Here's a recap:

19. Diary of a Wimpy Kid -- $165, 142, 918

18. The Godfather -- $249,175,314

17. Kill Bill -- $331,006,058

16. Final Destination -- $477,080,639

15. Hunger Games -- $636,533,290

14. X Men -- $932,903,335

13. The Matrix -- $1,623,116,618

12. Toy Story -- $1,945,421,813

11. Indiana Jones -- $1,980,610,580

Now that we've gotten last week's numbers out of the way, let's continue the countdown starting at 10. At #10 is the super cool spy flick, Mission Impossible. In the film, Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt, a ruthless IMF agent who is framed numerous times over the actions of his spy team, which have recently been replaced in the fourth film. So far these films have raised $2,096,647,856 and has been copied over the past ten years for its iconic ceiling drop scene done by Tom Cruise. This is one of my personal picks and deserves to be in the top ten. Then, at 9 is the vampire-romance series Twilight. In this action filled, romance franchise, Bella Swan (played by scandalous star Kristen Stewart) moves to Forks, Washington and begins a love affair with a 100-year-old vampire who is stuck in a 17 year old body Edward Cullen, (played superbly by teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson). Throughout the franchises course, the two have went through numerous battles with vampire armies and run ins with the vampire authorities. Although the franchise has been under fire with Stewart's recent scandal, the movies have received $2,508,379,328. Twilight is also one of my favorite franchises and is super cool. This number is expected to change after the final film hits theaters in November. Next, at #8, is the sci fi robot movie, Transformers. In this car-transforming movie series, a young adult named Sam acquires a car in which he finds out can shape shift into a huge robot. Sam then finds out about the whole robot race living on earth and its villains. Throughout its three movies, the robots face off against their nemesis, the Decepticons and help Sam save the planet. The franchise has grossed $2,669,760,469 and the last movie was partly shot in Michigan two years ago. This number is also expected to change when the next film comes out. At 7 is the middle age franchise Lord of the Rings. This ensemble franchise is about a mischievous ring that causes destruction on middle earth and a man (played by the one-time actor Elijah Wood) who must travel to Mordor to destroy this powerful ring. This series has grossed $2,913,933,388 and has won 15 Academy Awards over the three years it ran. This number is also scheduled to change once The Hobbit reaches theaters in November. For those of you who can't watch Harry Potter, I definitely recommend this for you. Next at 6 is the one and only best superhero franchise, Spiderman. In this superhero franchise, a college guy (first played by Tobey Maguire and later Andrew Garfield)  fights crime with his spider powers like sticking up the walls and slinging by a web. This franchise has introduced the world to infamous villains like Venom, Doc Octopus and the Green Goblin and has raked in $3,248,471,626. Spiderman happens to be my favorite superhero so you already know how I feel about the movies. Then at #5 is the movie adaptions of the popular DC Universe hero Batman. Since 1942, this franchise has focused on multi-millionaire Bruce Wayne who dresses up as vigilante Batman and goes around fighting villains like The Joker, Dr. Freeze, the Penguin, and Grundy. The caped crusader has been played by George Clooney, Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton, and recently, Christian Bale and has raked in $3,701,104,322 at the box office. Lately, the winning Batman series has been Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight franchise. Then at 4 is the swashbuckling series Pirates of the Carribean. This series follows the adventures of pirate captain Jack Sparrow (played tremendously by my favorite actor Johnny Depp) and his crew aboard the Black Pearl. The crew often faces dangers with other pirates like Davvy Jones and recently, Blackbeard. This before-American Revolution-pirate movies made $3,727,735,967 and will be coming out with a final installment in 2013 or 2014. (Sources have not yet confirmed) And now, it's down to the bottom 3. At number three is............. Star Wars. This awesome series is best known for its famous line "Luke, I am your father" which was never spoken in any of the films, and its directing of the last three films first and the first three twenty years later. Star Wars is the story of intergalactic war between earth and the Deathball, lead by iconic villain Darth Vader (voice of James Earl Jones). Then, later on in the films, it is revealed that Darth Vader is the father of Jedi hero Luke Skywalker and that he has a sister. The very iconic space film grossed $4,411,410,761 and has won an Oscar for its special effects. These films have earned the right to be the third best movie franchise in the history of franchises. Then, at 2 is the franchise that has revolutionized the way we look at spies and has been around since the 1960s is "Bond.......James Bond." James Bond is the movie adaptions of Ian Fleming's popular spy books reflecting on his own life. In the films, a British MI6 agent James Bond saves the world numerous times by iconic psychopaths like Goldfinger and Scaramanga. This movie franchise has set the record of having the most movies in it which is at the number of 23 and is known for its broad name of movies like You only live Twice or Die Another Day. Bond has earned $5,074,402,453 in the worldwide box office like all the other franchises and has had six different Bonds during its run. George Lazenby (who only starred as James once), Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton (who only graced the screen twice), Pierce Brosnan, and recent actor Daniel Craig have all played the iconic British spy. However, Pierce Brosnan has been my personal favorite with his movie Die Another Day. But, we'll get into the James Bond era some other time. And now, its the time you've all been waiting for since last week. Number 1 is..................................................................................................Harry Potter. Harrry Potter has been around for years and its movies have lasted for 11 years. In this wizarding tale, a boy (played by star Daniel Radcliffe) goes to Hogwartz to learn to be a wizard and there he learns of the dark wizard he must face when the time comes, Lord Voldemort (played with ease by Ralph Fiennes). Harry also meets lifetime friends Hermoine (the talented Emma Watson) and Ron (played by laid-back actor Rupert Grint). This top selling series has earned $7,706,147,978 and the title of best movie franchise of all time. Only time will tell rather either of these other franchises surpass the total grossing of Harry Potter, and even if they do, Harry will and always will be #1. Here's a recap of this week's top ten:

10. Mission Impossible -- $2,096,647,856

9. Twilight -- $2,508,379,328

8. Transformers -- $2,669,760,469

7. Lord of the Rings -- $2,913,933,388

6. Spiderman -- $3,248,471,626

5. Batman -- $3,701,104,322

4. Pirates of the Carribean -- $3,727,735,967

3. Star Wars -- $4,411,410,761

2. James Bond -- $5,074,402,453

1. Harry Potter -- $7,706,147,978







Now that we've got the top ten movie franchises out of the way, let's look at a little bit of celebrity news. This past weekend, movies like Paranormal Activity 4 and Alex Cross opened at the box office. However, these two did poorly for their expected results. Paranormal 4 opened at number 1, but with the results of $29,003,866. This number is lower than the third installments number and could be boring audiences now with its lame storyline and dull special effects. Then, Alex also didn't do too good. This opened up at number 5 with $11,396,768. I hope the numbers improve by next week because I would love people to come back from the theaters and say Tyler Perry was good at being an action star and help boost his movie reputation. Well, that concludes this week's post and the last of the greatest movie franchise list. As always, send me your comments on things I have or haven't said and I will address it in my next post. Tell me what you thought about the movie countdown. Did your favorite movie franchise make the list? Do you think I should have put the movies in a different order that isn't according to its worldwide gross? Tell me your thoughts. And please ladies and gentlemen, read my online series The Trial at brordon2.blogspot.com. The numbers have gotten even worse after its debut and I really want to get a buzz going on out there about it. Tell your friends, family, and neighbors about it. This is me signing out. Until next time......

Greatest Movie Franchises Countdown

Over the years, there have been many hit movies and sequels to those movies that have sparked some of the biggest phenomenons of all time. I will go over some of the biggest and iconic movie franchises of all time and I will put them in order of their box office grossings. (I have listed 19 that I think are the greatest) Let us begin. At number 19, is the relatively new franchise, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. In this lame movie series based on its novel, the horrors of middle school is seen through the eyes of scrawny, wimpy teenager Greg Heffley. These films also focus on Greg's dysfunctional family and wacky friends. So far, this franchise has made $165,142,918 worldwide and is one of the lowest grossing franchises of all time. If things keep going like this, the project could be cancelled. Then, at 18, is the infamous crime drama series, The Godfather. In this incredible crime drama, the rise of Don Corleone from immigrant to mobster is followed along with his troubled sons and their take at the family throne. "The Godfather" trilogy garnered 9 Academy Awards and made $249,175,314 at the box-office. Even though this series did weak money wise, its notoriety made up for it and it's now known as one of the greatest crime films of all time. At 17 is the action packed revenge saga Kill Bill, one of my favorites. In this smashing, Quentin Tarantino directed action flick, a woman wakes up from a four-year coma and proceeds to get revenge on the 5 people who put her there, and killed her unborn child. This awesome franchise made $331,066,058 at the box-office and is subject to change in 2014 when the third installment comes to theaters. This happens to be on my must-watch list and I definitely recommend this for any of you adrenaline seekers (which I've already done). The next movie has been around for years and has entertained horror lovers for a decade. Final Destination is found at number 16. In all five films, a teen has a vision that he/she will die with friends in a local tragedy. The teen then saves their friends and the event happens, but Death has a design for each of them. This is a very chilly thriller and has you on the edge of your seat the entire franchise. It has received $477,080,639 worldwide and is one of the longest running horror franchises along with Halloween and Resident Evil. At 15, is the infamous record breaking series The Hunger Games. Even though this series has only made one installment, it is the first movie franchise to receive that much money and publicity for its first installment. This series is set in the near future, where the world is split into districts. Each year, a district sends forth two teenage fighters to compete in the sadistic Hunger Games, where people fight to the death until one remains. This series which was created from the book is very entertaining and broke records as being the third highest opening movie in history with 155 million. The series has already made $686,533,290, but this is subject to change when the second installment hits theaters in 2013. At 14, Marvel's top-selling franchise X-Men rolls in. In the X-Men series, mutants with super-cool powers are featured learning how to use their powers at a special school founded by Charles Xavier, a fellow mutant. These mutants also face saving the world against nationwide threats like mutant armies and the government. This series that founded Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) as a worldwide idol has made $932,903,335 at the box office and this too is subject to change when the new "Wolverine" movie opens next year. Then, at 13, is the best action franchise ever made, The Matrix. The awesome Wachowski brothers produced, wrote, and directed this futuristic sci-fi about a nation in 2199 suffering attacks from life-destroying machines. Then, some people go into this computer generated world where they fight bullet-dodging agents and the police to save the remaining city of the world and defeat the machines. Even though the story line is quite confusing and my description barely helped, the action is awesome and will have you on your knees begging for more. This trilogy has produced $1,623,116,618 and has earned to be in the greatest movie franchises hall of fame. Next, at 12, is the lovable Disney animated franchise Toy Story. In this fun, family-filled animated trilogy, Disney brings us into a world of toys acquired by a boy named Andy that can talk. Throughout the movies, the toys are faced with challenges like being left by their owner because they're broken or stolen by a weird 40-year-old antique collector. Disney has made $1,945,421,813 more and made characters like Woody (voice of two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen) pop culture icons. At 11 is the iconic Indiana Jones series. For over 20 years and 4 gold movies, Harrison Ford has played the temple explorer Indiana Jones. Jones has faced thousands of temples, tumbling rocks, and .....snakes! Over the years, the box-office toppling series has made $1,980,610,580 and has made Harrison Ford into an American idol. That concludes this week's post and tune in next week to find out if your favorite movie franchises made the top ten list in "Greatest Movie Franchises Countdown Part II". Also, I wish for you all to at least look at my new story The Trial at brordon2.blogspot.com. It debuted poorly and I would just really love it to start transpiring with all of you who enjoy this blog. And not to forget, please send me any of your feedback on things that I have or haven't said, and I will address it in my next blog. (And I will continue to write on this blog along with the other, so all of you buzzers, make sure to tune in to both) This is me signing out. Until next week........

Steel Magnolias

Last night, (or October 7, 2012 since this will be posted later on this week), Lifetime showed an array of African-American films to get ready for the remake of the 80s film "Steel Magnolias". The night started with the classic Tyler Perry film The Family That Preys, which stars the new Steel Magnolias star Alfre Woodard and Academy Award winner Kathy Bates. This movie is arguably Perry's best movie and features some issues that rock our world today such as family affairs, scandals, and what it means to be friends. This is outstanding and should have been nominated for an Academy Award. Then, it was followed by Abducted: The Carlina White Story. This movie is about a woman (played beautifully by Aunjunae Ellis), who's upset with her inability to have a baby, steals a child belonging to another 16 year old girl. Then, 23 years later, the girl find out that she's been abducted and a whole police investigation ensues and the woman is arrested. Not only was I fascinated by the fact that this happened in real life, but I was amazed with the acting by Keke Palmer (who played Carlina White and Akeelah in Akeelah and the Bee) and Aunjunae Ellis. This was also a Lifetime film and I recommend it for anyone who loves psychotic drama movies. And then, there was the world premiere of the remake of Steel Magnolias. In the original and remake of the movie, six women are examined and each are put through the motions of death. In the original, Sally Field was the matriarch of the main family and Julia Roberts as her daughter but this time around legend Queen Latifah takes the stage with former co-star Phylicia Rashad's real life daughter Condola Rashad. This movie is sad, but also hilarious and heartfelt. The film also co-stars Alfre Woodard, Adepero Oduye, and Why Did I Get Married? star Jill Scott. Now it's time for some celebrity gossip. Over the weekend, film star Danny Devito announces separation with wife Rhea Perlman after 30 years of happily married life. At this point, there has been no reason for their separation. Then, Lifetime is being sued over their Steel Magnolias remake by the producers of the old one. The old producer claims that Lifetime never asked her permission to do this remake and she wants her cut for the storyline. I'm still researching to find the exact details of the lawsuit but at this moment I have no more news about it. Keep reading to find out more news about it. But before I go, I have your second movie assignment. This week, I have decided to give you Chicago. This 2002 Best Picture winner is the musical story of Roxie Hart ( played beautifully by 2002 Best Actress nominee and newly Academy Award winner Renee Zellwegger) and her murder case which sends her to jail. While in jail, she competes to upstage her Broadway idol Velma Kelly ( played by 2002 Best Supporting Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones) and get off of death row with the help of defense attorney Billy Flynn ( 80s star Richard Gere). This movie is one of the best musicals of all time and shows how much of a dog eat dog world it really is out there. This concludes this week's post and as always, send me your feedback on anything I have or haven't said and I will try and address it in my next post. This is me signing out. Until next time........

The Premieres

This past weekend, we've had the major fall line-up premiers, but before I go into detail about that, let's talk gossip. Over this past week, 80s action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has opened up about his most infamous scandalous marriage. We've all heard about his affair with his maid and secretly fathering a child, but new scandalous secrets have come about this past Californian governor. Schwarzenegger admits to keeping his 1997 operation secret and having even more affairs with other women. First of all, Arnold, your last name is too hard to say and spell and I barely got past "Sch". Second, you're going down in history as the worst husband of all time. Who cheats on their wife with someone as practical as the maid and has a child with her.  Then, you have more news to come out about? What more can you possibly tell Maria Shriver after all that has happened? But in other news, fallen child star Lindsey Lohan was allegedly attacked outside of her hotel room. A 25 year-old man was arrested Sunday morning for grabbing the actress over cellphone images. Lindsey, after all that has happened over you running someone over and stealing a necklace, do we really believe you. You're the girl who was arrested more times than Charlie Sheen and you expect us to believe someone grabbed you. How do we know you didn't grab him over something and then say he did that to you to the police? Then again, there are some crazy people out there and you never know. Then, in a recent interview on CNN, former child star Danny Bonaduce revealed that over the weekend, a fan of his went in to kiss him on the cheek and then bit him. Bonaduce said the bite didn't hurt that much and didn't leave too much of a mark. Rather the "vampire fan" being pressed charges on has been unconfirmed. And finally in today's celebrity news, the Academy has announced that Seth Macfarlane will host the 85th Academy Awards. This upcoming awards show is going to be the best in years. Of course we all know Macfarlane from the creator and voice of Family Guy and American Dad, so this upcoming year should be a real treat. And congratulations on the success of Family Guy Seth. And now, it's time for the premier ratings of this years fall-lineup. Many television shows opened weak, but others really thrived and exceeded expectations. Let's talk ABC. This year, ABC brought on new show 666 Park Avenue and expected it's viewers to be as seduced as the characters. However, viewers found it hard to move into this apartment and the show only seduced 7 million people with 2.2 percent adult demographic. I hope the ratings improve because I would love to see Vanessa Williams show that she can do better things than Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty. But before Williams could debut, the return of two hit shows premiered in their time slots and came out with a bang. Revenge opened strong with 9.5 million and a 3.2 adult demographic while Once upon a Time had the highest opening of the night for a television show with 11 million and 3.8 adult demographic. On Once upon a Time, I'm still stuck on the fact that the characters symbolize fairy tale icons, such as Cinderella. What does that even mean? But anyway, now let's talk about CBS. CBS' shows on Sunday suffered plenty of losses with its ratings depending on where they used to be. Firstly, CBS' Amazing Race only raked in 9.7 million viewers and a 2.5 demographic and The Good Wife only took in 9.8 million with a 1.8 adult demographic. Both shows were down 17 and 18 percent from their usual intake. Then, The Mentalist hit a series low with 10.8 million viewers. I would like to put it out there that this show is totally  ridiculous and Simon Baker's character is stubborn, obnoxious, and a know-it-all. But, that's just my opinion. Let's go over to Fox. This past Sunday, Fox premiered this fall/winter's "animation domination". The Simpsons premiered with 8 million, which is low for this cartoon heavyweight, and Family Guy only got 6.5 million. Hope these two ratings improve as well because I would love to see Homer a few more seasons and Family Guy for as many seasons as The Simpsons. There are also some shows that debuted throughout last week, and let me tell you, they were a total bust. Fox's The Mob Doctor premiered on Monday and had low ratings. With only 5.1 million under it's belt, Fox might be having the doctor sleeping with the fishes. Then, Ben and Kate only raked half of the viewers of "The Mindy Project". I told you this television show would set back Fox 20 years and its comedy could kill zombies. These two shows might not make it to see another day, and the only reason Ben and Kate got that many viewers was because of its time slot. Then, NBC's Animal Practice harshly surpassed mob doctor. With ratings like 5.2 million, NBC might tell tell the animals to knock off the monkey business. Guys with Kids debuted the lowest out of all the shows last week and is rumored to be cancelled after four episodes if its ratings don't improve. The guys only entertained a low 4.8 million. I hope this show can at least go on for two seasons because I would hate to see Anthony Anderson suffer another loss after his Law and Order reboot. And finally, The Neighbors might be moving out of this world. In my debut blog, I predicted that it would be hard to catch on to this out-of this-world comedy, and coincidentally, so did viewers. The Neighbors started out with 9.2 million viewers, however, it retained 60 percent of that number. I knew this storyline was junk, and apparently many people agreed with me. The television show Last Resort is also in bad shape and is rumored to be cancelled after four episodes on air as well. I would also like to give a shout out to million-dollar producer Shonda Rimes. Rimes is an African-American executive producer and has created television royalty Grey's Anatomy and newcomer Scandal. This past week, Grey's Anatomy raked in a whopping 11.5 million and Scandal produced 7 million viewers, which was bigger than last season's premiere. Shonda Rimes is phenomenal and Scandal happens to be one of the juiciest dramas that keeps-you-guessing of all time. Kerry Washington is superb as the fixer Olivia Pope. However, you'll have to wait until next week to get the scoop on that show and its cast members. Well, its about that time again and I want to thank you for reading this week's issue. I also want to know how you liked Kill Bill Vol. 1. Send me your thoughts on this past week's movie as well as your questions, comments, and thoughts on anything I have or haven't said. Until next time.....
