Movie review - Hitman

It's about time movie producers realized that video games (PC, console, whatever) and movies are two very different mediums. Sure, both of them are fun, the kinda activities you fill up under my hobbies and whisks you away to another world. And of course these industries make oodles of money. But when you start to marry them off and have weird little ones, you know the kind that people cross the street to avoid ... then and only then do you go uh oh! What did I do wrong? You made a dumb movie based on the storyline of games - games that were popular mostly for their interactivity I might add - that's what you did. The Hitman is one such love-child.







What's the storyline for The Hitman? It's pretty explanatory ain't it? He's an assassin, he kills for a living. And living is stretching it a bit considering the propaganda lifestyle he adopts. Then he's caught up in a situation where he must use all his deadly skills to survive. Plus there is a love angle somewhere ... there always is.

As can be expected, reviews for The Hitman looks bleak. Firstly, I doubt if some of the reviewers have played the game. So for them this movie would look like just another Bourne Supreme. Secondly, gamers who watch the movie and who provide reviews will hate it because the element that made it a hit game (lame joke, I know) is the fact that it's a game! It's the role playing factor, being caught up in the situation yourself and waving your remote around to snare the enemy. Yea, there is a storyline but some people have fancy cushions on their sofa – they are just there for decoration and just add to the general feel.

Seriously, if movie producers is desperate for popular stories, why not visit a place called the library? The really busy souls can drop by Oprah's Book Club. Why do you have to pick something that is not famous for a plot line? No wonder someone is making a movie out of The Sims! And here I thought every other romantic movie fell into the Sims category!

Hayden Panettiere: Born to be Wild

There is a new addition to the Live Free: Party Hard club. Yes, it's none other than the very young Hayden Panettiere also known as Claire from Heroes. Ever since the idea of mutants with super powers was reintroduced in Tim Kring's hit show (X-men was playing with the idea way before Peter Petrelli pulled his Rogue maneuvers!), everyone's been going on about that cheerleader from Heroes. It's either Hayden is on this cover or she's the sexy new star or she's not dating Milo etc etc. And then I came across the fateful headlines, somewhere amongst my news feeds - Hayden Panettiere poses for sexy pictures ... yada yada, she's awesome even though she's only 18! Hey, what, wait.... she's only 18? And grown men and pimply boys alike all over are oogling at her Vogue pictures? That doesn't creep anyone else out? It gets better – some of her Hollywood-style coming of age pictures ( and by this I mean as dressing in barely there clothes, possibly airbrushed to fit a skinnier body shape ) were before her 18th birthday.







Is Hayden the new Hollywood party gal? Hollywood churns out so many Teen Wrecks that you can have a checklist for the Chosen Ones. Judging from fellow fallen stars like Lilo & Britney, it goes something like this:

1. Any of your parents in showbiz? Check
2. Started movies / ads etc. as pre-teen? Check (Better yet she was in diapers )
3. Music career anywhere on the horizon? Check (Working on it)
4. Many magazine covers, pics, preferably dressing you older than you are? Check
5. Know any other wild child? Check (friends with the Trump of the Party zone - Paris Hilton)





Make you wonder about her parents, doesn't it? Same with Lilo and Britney. Getting into clubs even though you are underage, skanky clothing and splashing out their money. And Dr. Phil wonders why modern kids behave the way they do. And we thought purple dinosaurs were the worst role models picked by kids.

Dennis Quaid's Babies in Hospital Mishap
It's another sad story about accidents in hospital.
According to TMZ.com, Dennis Quaid's new born twins got 10,000 units of Heparin, an anti-coagulant, while they were actually supposed to get 10 units! Story goes something like a technical guy stored the meds in wrong place, nurse gave dosage without checking, yada yada. So is it only on TV medical dramas that they gaze carefully at a syringe and do the flick-flick-air-bubble-out maneuver?





George Clooney: I get news updates about Britney
George Clooney has lashed out at paparazzi, calling them “bounty hunterish”. It gets better. He then defends Britney's recent traffic offense, going into a detailed description of the by-now popular Britney's How to Run a Red Light tape and then blames it all on paparazzi. Spend a bit of time keeping up with Britney news, do we George?



Britney Trashed Apartment
Meanwhile Britney's landlord (of sorts) is fuming about damage done to the rented apartment.
From the sound of it, the atrocities extend to “walls, flooring, balcony, doors, electrical outlets and air conditioning”. You gotta give her a break, when you spend that amount of time in court, in clubs or getting drug tests, who has the time to clean their homes anymore? Would Mr. Clooney blame this on the media as well?



Sienna Miller Joins Cobra
Speaking of George Clooney ( aka I was an absolute nitwit as Bat-Ears ) brings up another nasty casting choice. How's this for ominous starts for movie projects. G.I Joe has picked its first cast member and guess what it's Sienna Miller! She's going to be none other than the super evil Baroness. Smooth move, is anyone else still interested in the movie?
