White House Down Reviews: Demented, Entertaining, Nutty!

The making of White House Down is responsible for the making of Channing All Over Your Tatum . So the movie has clearly already paid off. But is the blockbuster, which hits theaters today, worthy of your time and money? Critics from around the country weigh in below… White House Down is the kind of celebration of rampant mayhem in which everyone seems to have a rocket launcher — or at least a live hand grenade — at the ready, just in case they need to dispatch a scrum of exceptionally vile and cruel villains. – The Washington Post As demented and entertaining as promised, and a little less idiotic than feared. – The New York Times Each nutty scenario is surpassed by the next, ludicrous story lines coalesce with expert orchestration, and absurd details return with perfect timing to build to a crescendo of hilarity. – The Boston Globe It’s a blatant attempt for the director to revive his box office fortunes by blowing up parts of the White House Complex as gaudily as he did 18 years ago. – The Orange County Register If you have to chose just one White House under attack movie, the wise choice would be to spend your money on Olympus Has Fallen. – About.com

Jennifer Aniston Leads Men to Do This of the Day

If you were marrying Jennifer Aniston, you know if you were the chosen, you’d probably be out killing dogs too… I mean you are the one dude who has pulled off a task so many dudes have bowed out of both gracefully, and not so gracefully… All to make the general public really question her vagina and it’s inability to seduce men… I mean she looks ok in the movies, she’s got hot tits and a toned body, but she must be a real fucking devil pussy, with a sour and horrible personality, cuz she just can’t keep a dude locked in….. But going out there and killing dogs…that shit helps deal with the anger you feel inside when trapped by her…. At least that’s what I assume this is all about…I mean it couldn’t be a movie set or anything, that’d be crazy talk. To See The Rest of the Pics FOLLOW This Link

Amanda Bynes Threatens to Sue Over "Morphed" Paparazzi Pics

Amanda Bynes isn’t happy with a new set of paparazzi pics, and said on Twitter that she will sue anyone who dares to publish the “morphed” image. “OH MY GOD! THAT’S NOT ME!” wrote the image-obsessed 27-year-old. “They morphed my face onto someone with a different face shape!” “I’m suing any site/magazine that shares that image!” It’s not clear which Amanda Bynes photos she’s talking about, but in the interest of making her happy/not getting sued, we have used one of her Twitpics here. A sexy one, we might add! Threatening legal action isn’t new for Bynes, who recently threatened to sue In Touch for “morphing photos of my face onto someone’s body to ruin my life!” In Touch denied altering the images, but no matter. She also encouraged celebrity gossip magazines to reach out to her directly … or pay the price. “You CAN NOT talk about someone you don’t know!” she tweeted. “All Magazines: Contact Me Personally! I’m sick of your insanity!” Amanda’s reasoning is simple, if you stop and think about it: “You can’t state something about me by hearing it through someone I don’t know/met once and never spoke to again who now claims to still know me enough to check MY brain and search inside it and find a developed at 27 mental illness without getting a huge lawsuit at your office.” Noted.

Sam Mendes NOT Confirmed to Direct Next Bond Film

Sam Mendes, you’re  killing us! After he insisted he didn’t want to direct any more Bond films, Mendes had reportedly signed on to helm  Bond 24 , and was even working on a deal for  Bond 25 . But, that no longer seems to be the case. During a red carpet event for the opening of his West End theatrical production of  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Mendes insisted he’s been too focused on the new play to deal with  Bond . When asked about his involvement with the next Bond film, Mendes said “I don’t know yet. I’m in discussion over the ‘B’ word and I won’t make any decision until this [play] is open.” Regardless of whether Mendes is directing it, we do know that Daniel Craig will return to play 007. We also know about the sexy new Bond girl: Penelope Cruz . That’s good enough for now.

Demi Lovato Addresses Dad’s Death, Thanks Fans for Well Wishes

Demi Lovato has spoken out for the first time since her father’s death . The singer and X Factor judge acknowledged the passing of Patrick Lovato with a Tweet last night, telling her 15 million-plus followers: “I feel so humbled to have had so much support from my fans, friends, family and complete strangers. God bless you all, thank you so much love.” Demi’s dad reportedly battled cancer for many years before succumbing to the diseased on Saturday. It’s unclear just what the state of Lovato’s relationship with this parent was at the time, as she said in 2009 that she had not spoken to Patrick in two years. “When somebody lets you down after you’ve been the only one there for them, and so many times, you don’t know what else to do,” Demi said back then. The artist sang about the strained relationship “For the Love of a Daughter,” which was included on her 2010 “Unbroken” album.

Jim Carrey Slams Kick-Ass 2 as Too Violent, Producer Defends Project

Jim Carrey is speaking out about his upcoming film Kick-Ass 2, and not in a good way. Rather, the star is condemning it for its use of what he feels is excessive violence following the tragic events in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, last year. Jim Carrey Kick-Ass 2 Trailer – Theatrical “I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence,” the 51-year-old actor tweeted. “I meant to say my apologies to others involve[d] with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.” Comic book author Mark Millar, who also executive produced Kick-Ass 2 , wrote a blog post following the tweets to express his opinion on the matter: “As you may know, Jim is a passionate advocate of gun-control,” he wrote. “I respect both his politics and his opinion, but I’m baffled by this sudden announcement as nothing seen in this picture wasn’t in the screenplay 18 months ago.” “Yes, the body-count is very high, but a movie called Kick-Ass 2 really has to do what it says on the tin.” “A sequel to the picture that gave us HIT-GIRL was always going to have some blood on the floor and this should have been no shock to a guy who enjoyed the first movie so much.” “Ultimately, it’s his decision, but I’ve never bought the notion that violence in fiction leads to violence in real-life any more than Harry Potter casting a spell creates more Boy Wizards in real-life.” “Our job as storytellers is to entertain and our toolbox can’t be sabotaged by curtailing the use of guns in an action-movie,” he concluded. What do you think? Is Jim off-base? Or is his point about violence in movies something that warrants a broader discussion beyond just Kick-Ass 2?

Man Jokes About Having Sex With Goats, Gets Arrested

Shaun Keith Orris, 41, called police at around 2:45 a.m. Thursday to say he was “battered and bloodied” just for asking a question at a bar in Wisconsin. His question, to other bar patrons, was how they feel about sex. With goats. The owner of the drinking establishment said he asked Orris to leave, and when he refused, a physical dispute ensued that left a cut on Orris’ head. When cops showed up, the owner said that Orris was drunk and asking people if they felt they have the constitutional right to have sex with a goat. Investigators say Orris went home after the altercation, got a pocket knife and came back, only to be arrested for disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon. On the way to the hospital, cops say he began screaming that it was a constitutional right to have sex with a goat, then started “uncontrollably laughing.” We’re laughing too … but not for quite the same reason.
