choppy vows

channing-tatum-240

they can’t get any cuter. ‘step up’s channing tatum & jenna dewan recently made their love official, getting married a couple of weeks ago in malibu. seems perfect, right? well, the lives of public figures can get a little complicated.

the 29-year-old ‘g.i. joe’ star recently shared one thing he didn’t like about his wedding on July 11. “when we’re at a wedding and there’s a helicopter above us and we’re trying to say our vows, it’s a little heartbreaking, to be totally honest with you,” he said of the paparazzi.

truly – can you imagine? the one most blissful moment of your life is close to ruined all because the paps want to sell a picture of you in a wedding gown. channing went on to say “i’ll never understand it. i don’t read those magazines, i never have, and i don’t allow them in my house. i think they’re ruining the business, personally, because the more you get to know somebody, what they do and how they are in real life, the less you’re going to believe them in any part.”

he actually makes a good point. but do you think that’ll change anytime soon? no way. remember back when tom cruise was the hottest, most sought-after movie star? that quickly changed once the guy started being kooky – jumping on oprah’s couch & being overly aggressive with his religion of scientology. in fact, it was reported that cruise dropped from being the 11th most-liked celeb down to the 197th. and it’s no secret that his movie ticket sales followed suit. look’s like channing tatum might be on to something there…

craving originality

since when did the brains behind the entertainment industry stop thinking of new ideas? i cannot say how annoying it is that the big studios are simply remaking old classics. LAZY! 

while i couldn’t care less about most of these, a couple (my fair lady, mary poppins, footloose) really get my blood boiling. they’re messin’ with our faves! here’s just a couple that are in the works:

  • ghostbusters
  • footloose
  • total recall
  • the neverending story
  • flashdance
  • robocop
  • nightmare on elm street
  • barbarella
  • the birds
  • the taking of pelham 123
  • the jetsons
  • rocky horror picture show
  • my fair lady
  • the six million dollar man
  • mary poppins
  • top gun
  • the dirty dozen
  • poltergeist
  • the karate kid

and we can’t forget the horrendous remakes of TV shows melrose place & 90210. come on, execs! bring us some creativity. for pete’s sake, make our $12 movie ticket worth it

romantic comedy overload

after watching a (hilarious) episode of ‘the office’ on hulu.com, i started to browse some movie trailers. and whooooa baby, there was a ton of romantic comedies! while they aren’t necessarily breaking new grounds in the world of cinema, they are funny, light-hearted, and just plain old feel-good movies. i’ve got a couple here for you to check out… to help determine whether or not they’re worth the $10 movie ticket.
