London Tipton says, "Yay Me! I'm Having a Baby!"
This was a complete surprise to me and anyone else who have been fans of these stars especially the ex-Tipton Hotel socialite. Since her graduation aboard the now non-existing S.S. Tipton, London Tipton's popping out some babies. So far, she's having her first one. The baby's father in question is a washed up singer who haven't made a good song in years. History about these two is slim besides dating Sonny Monroe and Joe Jonas who ended up together who later broke up only for them to work on separate solo projects. Just goes to show that everyone's really close within the Disney family. The only question is who will she name her first child. If it's a girl, the name's truly obvious. If it's a boy, I recommend Zack or Cody. Good thing that the baby will be born within royalty to avoid having a poor girl name. Can't think of any except Maddie. I wonder why?

'Conan's in for a 'Fright'
It's been a while since writing about a new film. The thinking process needed time to rejuvenate and it's back in business. First flick to cover: Conan the Barbarian (2011).
For people who may not have heard about the titular character, Conan's (Jason Momoa) a Cimmerian searching for his village's attackers from the time when he was a young boy. Even at a young age, he was able to handle men twice his height and bring their heads home as his reward. Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang) and his daughter Marique (Rose McGowan) filled with magical detection abilities are organizing a ritual that will allow a long lost member of the family return to the world of the living by inhabiting the body of a True Blood. Along with freeing slaves and torturing members of Zym's calvary to find his adversary, it's up to Conan to fulfill the duty of protecting said True Blood (not a fan of HBO's acclaimed TV series), a female monk named Tamara (Rachel Nichols), to stop said ritual, and keep the world safe from any more blood shed. Then again, he'll have to cause some to make his point of getting his revenge against Zym clear.
The film's a mixed bag. While it has received a lot of hate, the film's enjoyable. Portions of the film such as whether or not Zym's daughter is into her father to fill the hole left in his heart from his wife's passing, Marique creating warriors out of mystical sand to take down our muscle bound hero, Conan vs. the Kraken, and a random sex scene just to bridge a romance between Conan and Tamara might be viewed as unneeded, but, if forgotten, the rest of the films enjoyable. You can forgive the film with its use of green screen backgrounds, easily notable, but more location scouting wouldn't have hurt the film. It would have given a stronger feel of being within Conan's world. With a budget of $90 million, the film's not shaping up to be a hit, but it's still watchable whether in theaters, on TV, and to watch on DVD and Blu-Ray. From there, perhaps the love from some of the fans of the 'Conan' character will be enough to assist it with making its money back. That can take a while.
Up next to review: Fright Night (2011).

Lopez Won't Be On 'Tonight'; 'Tyler Perry TV' Coming Soon?
For those who loved the antics of everyone's favorite ethnic comedian, there's bad news. Lopez Tonight has been canceled.
http://on-msn.com/qo1r55
¿Por quĂ©?
The reason for the cancellation of this show is what? Time to pull it out! Time for the Almighty, Old-School
http://on-msn.com/pcX4PQ
Let me guess on who gave him the cash.
What will appear on his network that hasn’t been on others before directed toward the African-American community? More reruns of One on One? The Proud Family? Good Times? It was like Lionsgate failed to think about BET and TVOne as the channels delivering what the execs running those networks think that we will watch.If people thought that bringing back Conan the Barbarian without California's former governor was a mistake, try 24 hours of nothing but mind numbing TV with unfunny comedy, stereotypical characters, and, even if classics such as the already mentioned Good Times will appear, is it too early to ask for the return of Fat Albert? Not the live-action/animated film. Just the animated series. It'll be better than seeing Oscar Proud get treated unfairly by his family every episode or looking back to Good Times and becoming angry because someone's parents have seen every episode to the point of annoyance when they prevent their children from changing the channel to watch them all again.
If anything has to get canceled, can it be The Playboy Club? It's NBC being the new MTV thinking that a show with risque themes will rule the roost with ratings on weekday evenings. The show's already not going to be shown in a few affiliates. Why can't the show die or move to basic cable with the likes of HBO and Showtime's programming? Men out here don't want to see any of the action edited especially when it comes to the women.
Also, a little update: Be prepared for a flurry of film reviews including those from last month to keep everyone busy as this writer prepares to return back to school in the Fall.

Where to Take Your Date
I may not have been on a lot of dates, but I know that most couples have had dates at the locations listed in the posted link as the worst to take a future boy/girlfriend. Who would deny that cheering for your favorite team is better than sitting through a crummy film? Who wouldn't enjoy a nice ride on the Ferris Wheel hand in hand? I understand why some women won't come near any of the locations such as preventing from having a queasy stomach and dealing with annoying fans painted from head to toe representing their football team. What do you consider to be the best place to take a date? Perhaps the explanations about why they're great are better than what's seen below.

My Vow: To Sink Alien Ships and Cliched Romance Films
YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!!
Question: Will you see the newest Michael Bay film next year? Bay has no involvement with the film, but you can see some references to his past works. If you haven't played the game that inspired the film, don't worry. There'll be a 3DS version in the works soon.
Also, there's some romance drama in the works if you're into that sort of thing.
Thank you Trailer Addict and YouTube!

Jaywalk and Your Mom's Going to Prison
A mother going to jail after her son is killed jaywalking is confusing and ridiculous. Why?! Was she the one driving the car to kill him on purpose? Read the story for yourself and see if you can make any sense about this. As said by one commenter, the person behind the wheel gets away with the crime. As for this poor woman, being cooped up behind bars for three years is unnecessary.

New TeenNick TV Block is 'All That'
Ah, the '90's: the time where kids would wake up to watch a plethora of Saturday Morning cartoons on the alphabet networks. It was also a time when no one thought about straight to DVD films and cash-ins (Damn Disney and its unnecessary Lion King re-release in 3D). It's been a decade which has been hated upon by fellow film critics (Guess for yourself) and one that's fondly remembered for being the time when cable networks, such as Nickelodeon, didn't rely so heavily on an ADHD sponge working at a burger joint or three tweens working on a webcam show in repetition to gain ratings. It wasn't a network that have dug down to the bottom of the barrel to deliver great content to children to the point of picking up 4Kids' scraps to continue being the #1 Network for Kids.
Viacom have thrown the fans a bone with their new scheduling block entitled 'The '90's Are All That' with the first of many series from the famous decade being shown from midnight to 2am. With the long list of series (in the link below), adults who are children at heart will have many choices to choose from to help them sleep better in preparation for the next day. It can even make good times with friends much better with looking back to see how far TV has come and becoming embarrassed to some of the series that still stink up the airwaves. However, all isn't well.
A few shows are missing from this block, but no worries. Let the man behind the operation handle everything: by informing everyone to go online and comment about what they would like to see in this block. It's a shame that it's the ONLY answer as the questions from the posted story are thrown at the Senior VP and Gen. Manager are mowed down one by one. This man is a warrior. To repeat his replies, head over to Facebook, Twitter and 90sareallthat.com to let him and the company know your thoughts.
If you excuse me, I need to pick up some orange soda to go along with my orange couch with my dog Porkchop by my side. Can't miss the fun later this evening/early Tuesday morning.
