Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, PG
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson
Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Because Hugh Jackman’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine kicked booty at the box office last weekend and is expected to do next weekend, you can bet your booty the spin-offs are already in the works. According to Variety, Ryan Reynolds‘ “Wolverine” character Deadpool, is getting his very own spin-off. Good! Does this mean we will see less of Ryan in those cheesy not-so-funny romantic comedies? Here’s hoping so!
For those of you who have NOT seen “Wolverine” yet,
Ryan Reynolds plays the Marvel superhero in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and will resurrect Wade Wilson, a cancer-stricken soldier who becomes an indestructible renegade mutant after submitting to the military’s top-secret Weapon X experiment. At the end of Wolverine, Deadpool is seen rising from the rubble and whispering “Shhh” to audiences.
However, Deadpool is not the only project in the works. Expect at least THREE other X-Men projects brought to you by FOX. Prepare for an X-Men overkill!

Watch out, bitches! You thought this was the last “Fast & Furious” film? Think again!
Because the flick almost doubled estimates when it opened with a whopping $72.5 million take over last weekend, now Vin Diesel and Paul Walker will be back. Money talks, bitches!
While most of the actors thought this recent flick would be the final one, no one thought “Fast” would rock as hard as it has at the box office. So…there will be more eye-candy scenes with sexy Paul Walker already confirming that he’ll be back.
Straight from the hottie’s mouth, “This was supposed to be it… Without question, the way that thing’s opened up, Vin (Diesel, co-star) and I will be coming back. We’re making a fifth one and we’re going to Brazil. That’s it! And I don’t think the best one (film) has been done yet. I think we could easily come back and make the best one.”
I honestly am not a “Fast” fan, but Paul Walker + Vin Diesel = Double eye candy hotness
