Megan Fox is Fathom

After years of being adrift in development hell, Michael Turner's Fathom is finally heading to the big screen with Megan Fox in tow as the lead character, Aspen Matthews.

"I think she's fantastic for this part," exclaimed Aspen MLT President, Frank Mastromauro. "She knows so much about Fathom, which is spectacular. Growing up she was a huge fan of the book and a huge fan of Michael's. When we met her, she was already well versed in [Fathom] volume one and [was] asking us questions about the book. And it's just really great to have someone who is enthusiastic about the material. Not because it's another movie they're making, but because it's a movie that in their heart they want to make because they love the character and they love Michael and the people who created it so much. Of course it's fantastic that she's in some great movies–Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen–she's definitely the 'it' girl right now. And I think she's going to do a fantastic job. I've met her several times and I know she's really into the project.




"When [Michael Turner] met Megan he thought she was fantastic," continued Mastromauro. "He was 100 percent for it and couldn't have been happier. He honestly couldn't have pictured someone else doing this right now, just due to the fact that Megan was so into the character. It's a no-brainer. She just translates Mike's beautiful woman into live action perfectly." ,br.,br. The screenplay will be based on the first volume of Fathom and will be adapted by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the Prince of Persia video game series (and also the screenwriter of the forthcoming Prince of Persia movie produced by Jerry Bruckheimer).

Top 10 songs for summer

Because i have been so busy with work it took me two weeks to realize it's already summer. Daym! If you're not feeling the summer vibes yet, the killerfiller has compiled ten songs that are just perfect to kickin' back and relaxing on the beach. Put on your boardshorts and sunglasses as I run down the best tunes guaranteed to get you in a summer state of mind.

#1 Into Yesterday by Sugar Ray

I was choosing "Someday" also from Sugar Ray but this song taken from Surf's Up movie has more beach vibe. Whenever I listen to this song all my problems go away eventhough I can't surf.

#2 Sailing by Urbandub One my fave Urbandub song! If you want to do something out of the ordinary this summer I suggest you include this song in your PMP's!
In my speed boat we be speeding
In my sail boat we be sailing
In my tug boat we be tugging
In my pump boat we be pumping

#3 Di mo lang Alam by Indio I



Ultimate torpe song for the summer, if you're into summer flings this one's for you.

#4 I'm Yours by Jason Mraz



Jason Mraz voice, the melody,everything about the song is chill. This song make me feel at ease.

#5 Summer Song by Silent Sanctuary



Whenever I hear this song it means that summer has officially started. A good song to listen up while driving to the beach and the whole barkada sings. I would'nt be surprised if GMA or ABS will use this for their summer campaign.


#6 Amber by 311


Love the song so much, just makes me happy and relaxed like nothing can ever go wrong. Also remind me of the movie 50 First Dates.

#7 Island in the Sun by Weezer



Another song you want to hear when you want to relax and chill out. Hey! Hey!

#8 Santeria by Sublime



Put this song on when your watching sunset on the beach.

#9 Sunburn by Sandwich



I just wanna be on the beach! Sunburn!

#10 Is this love? by Bob Marley

It wouldn't be summer without any catchy tune from Bob Marley. Any song from Marley is
a definitive summer anthem to soak up in the sun.

Honorable Mention: Stole My Sunshine by Len,Candy in the Sun by Swirl 360, Soak Up the Sun by Swirl 360,First of Summer by Urbandub,Life is Easy by Urbandub,Summertime in the LBC by The Doveshack,Girls of Summer by LFO

ScarJo & Mickey Rourke Help Raise Iron Curtain

Source: Yahoo!

Scarlett Johansson is joining the superhero set.

Her rep confirms that the actress has signed on to play Black Widow in the Iron Man sequel opposite Robert Downey Jr. The deal was signed this afternoon.

"Scarlett is thrilled to be a part of Iron Man," her rep, Marcel Pariseau, tells me.

Meanwhile, after months of negotiations...

The Wrestler's comeback kid, Mickey Rourke, has finally sealed a deal to play villain Whiplash, according to Variety.

Rourke's team had reportedly held out for more money after Marvel's initial offer was just $250,000. Read More>>

Previously on Heroes S03E19 "Shades of Gray"

Sylar's face to face meeting with his father (Samson Gray) was very interesting. Samson provoke Sylar for taking easy targets and living with limited ambition. He also wants to take Sylar's healing ability to be able to become immortal. Eventually Sylar defeated him easily and doing so bringing the whole father storyline to an incredibly anticlimatic end. As Sylar chooses not to kill him and leaves him to die slowly with his cancer. Definitely not the last time we won't say Sylar's dad.




The conflict between Danko and Nathan finally took an interesting twist. As Danko digs into the Petrelli's secret he found out that Nathan has an abilty to fly after throwing him in the window.
Now that Nathan's secret is revealed most probably Danko will take over on the operation. In the ending scene, Sylar shows up in the Danko's house.

The not so clear storyline for me is Claire's thing with Doyle. Why in the world would you help someone who almost killed your mother all of a sudden? Another not so interesting plot is Claire's comic book store job, I just don't get it.




Despite all of it's flaws this chapter has still some aspects that keeps me watching. This is way better than the last episode. Still so many questions to answers like who is the Rebel? Where is Peter? Daphne? Mohinder? Does Parkman's son has powers? all of which we have to wait after two weeks.

Eraserheads The Final Set

Twas around 4 in the afternoon when we went to MOA para maaga sa parking.Bronze lang naman yung ticket kaya no need to rush to line up to the gates so we went the cinemas to watch Watchmen. The movie ended up around 7:30, that's the time we get in to the venue.

8:28 PM,crowd was cheering when the countdown starts from Z to A and eventually
stops at E. Magasin was the first song of the concert and the crowd sings along with them. The first set includes the following

*Magasin/Walang Nagbago/Maling Akala/Maskara/Poor Man's Grave/Waiting for the Bus/Huwag mo nang Itanong/Slow Mo/Alkohol/Insomnia/Torpedo

Ely takes a break on vocals as Marcus sang "Huwag Mo ng Itanong" in a reggae beat to the crowds delight. Parang "Chika ang inabot ko" instead of hika and "huwag mo ng itanong...di ko sasabihin sayo".Raymund takes the mic as he sang Alkohol,Slow Mo,Insomnia while the crowd howls. The crowd wanted also to hear Buddy sing but he did'nt. I was expecting him to sing "Tama ka Nga" from Natin 99.


Breaktime, second set is more of an acoustic set

*Julie Tearjerky/Tikman/Wishing Wells/Fine Time/Pare Ko/Kailan (Piano Lounge Version)/Back2Me/Trip to Jerusalem/Spolarium/Overdrive

Ely says goodnight but the crowd clamors for more. Third Set is probably the best set. The night would'nt be officially complete without:


*Superproxy/Minsan/Alapaap/Kaleidescope World/Huling El Bimbo

It would've been better if the "Man From Manila" was there for the "Super Proxy" song, nonetheless pwede na yung rap ni Ely. I was not surprised when they played "Kaleidescope World" ,a fitting tribute to the master rapper. Unfortunately El Bimbo signals the end of the show as confettis and fireworks are on while the song is played and Ely set the stage on fire literally. Just when the crowd thought that the night was officially over when they bowed down on the stage. Buddy and Raimund went to the stage and ask the audience "Gusto niyo pa?", the crowd said yes of course. Ely announced to the crowd "Here's three for the road." An encore performance as they played

Ligaya/Sembreak/Toyang

The intensity might not be the same as the first one but nonetheless it's a celebration of the Eraserheads legacy and they were able to finish the concert and that's good enough.

Watchmen Movie Reviews

The graphic novel that most believed could not be filmed took two decades to get into cinemas thanks to Zack Snyder's sheer will. After 3 days it was shown here's some of the movie reviews I came across the net.

RT| Gritty and visually striking, Watchmen is a faithful adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel, but its complex narrative structure may make it difficult for it to appeal to viewers not already familiar with the source material. Read More>>

Time| Watchmen has moments of greatness. It proves again that the action movie is where the best young Hollywood brains have gone to bring flesh to their fantasies. Read Full Review>>

New York Post|Kyle Smith|
Director Zack Snyder's cerebral, scintillating follow-up to "300" seems, to even a weary filmgoer's eye, as fresh and magnificent in sound and vision as "2001" must have seemed in 1968, yet in its eagerness to argue with itself, it resembles "A Clockwork Orange."
Read Full Review>>

Entertainment Weekly|
Even Watchmen fanatics may be doomed to a disappointment that results from trying to stay THIS faithful to a comic book. Read Full Review>>

Chicago-Sun Times| Roger Ebert
It's a compelling visceral film -- sound, images and characters combined into a decidedly odd visual experience that evokes the feel of a graphic novel. It seems charged from within by its power as a fable; we sense it’s not interested in a plot so much as with the dilemma of functioning in a world losing hope. Read Full Review>>

As for the killerfiller,overall a brilliant and enjoyable movie. Two and a half hour may not be enough to satisfy the fanboys but probably more than enough to appeal to everyone else. Visual experience is nonetheless magnificent, the music is perfect ("The Times They are A'Changin","Hallelujah","The Sound of Silence") and the fight scenes are well-staged.

previously on Lost S05E08 "LaFleur"

From start to finish, this episode was just well done.


This episode followed the events after "This Place is Death", a flash brings the remaining survivors to 1974. Mainly telling Sawyer's story of what happens to those left on the island after Locke left,the time jumps have stopped and the five survivors are stuck in the past. To cut it short Sawyer become the head of Dharma security after he successfully defused the situation between Dharma and the others.Juliet and Sawyer relationship blooms in all the time they have spend together.



Just love the last scene wherein Sawyer finally met Jack,Hurley and Kate.Full of emotions,twist, mysteries and excitement as always. This episode did'nt tell every secret that needs to know bout the series but still absolutely perfect episode.


BOTTOM LINE: "EXCITING"

25 things I hate about facebook

Facebook is probably the best social-networking site ever, earned 300M USD just last year with only 700 employees..galeng ni Mark Zuckerberg. Love Facebook pare..pero minsan its annoying lalo na yung mga sangkatutak na app request.

previously on Chuck S02E15 Chuck Versus The Beefcake

Chuck is in love with Sarah but he's still undecided or should I say scared to admit that he wants her bad. This episode was kind of a wake up call for Chuck as he realizes his friendship is far from happenning if he will not make a move.




Eventually Chuck gets jealous when Sarah has to seduce MI6 agent Cole Barker,who turned out to be working undercover as a Fulcrum agent. Cole took a real shine to Sarah as Chuck tried to outshine him in every way that he could, putting everything in the line when needed. Elsewhere Morgan take refuge at Chuck's place as his mother is dating with Big Mike. At Buy More, Jeffster
interviewed swimsuit models as a way of finding a new employee.

Another fun episode with great performances all around.



BOTTOM LINE: "THIS IS WHY I EXACTLY WATCHED THIS SERIES"

a new album after 3 years

A typical Sunday afternoon in the house includes a dose of channel surfing of two local tv station. I'm not really a fan of this shows dahil ang inaabangan ko lang naman talaga yung dance number ni Angelika or ni Marian. While watching ASAP '09, I caught a glimpse of Karylle promoting her "new album" entitled "Time for Letting Go" a supposedly album dedicated to his ex-bf Dingdong Dantes. Eventually she introduced her carrier single from her "new album" saying "this is a song from my new album after almost 3 years, a take on Diane Warren's song I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me.

Badtrip amp! Bago nga!
