We don’t care if she is 11 feet tall, bright blue and has body parts we don’t… that alien is sexy!!!! We have been unable to ascertain whether her home planet of Pandora in fact has bars or nightclubs,..DOJODJPDJDJP
2. Homer Simpson
It would be a dream come true, partying with the cartoon character voted the 2nd most influential in history. Perhaps after a few too many Duffs we could find out who voted Bugs Bunny (the most retarded cartoon character ever) number 1.
3. James Bond
The most famous secret agent in cinema history, a night on the town with James Bond (whichever one is your favourite) would be interesting to say the least. Known worldwide for his habit of drinking vodka Martini’s, a few rounds at the bar may send you broke, but worthwhile none the less.
4. Lt Aldo Rein (Brad Pitt) from Inglorious Basterds
Cocaine addict and all round psycho, who knows what would happen if you went out to your favourite nightclub with this guy. With a handy ability to waste Nazi’s, this Jewish cult hero is one of the most enigmatic characters to have recently graced cinema screens.
5. Happy Gilmore
It doesn’t take a genius to realise why this guy would be an awesome drinking buddy to take to your favourite bar or nightclub. The man who revolutionised golf (Not in the same way as Tiger Woods) and all round funny bastard, Happy Gilmore is responsible for some of the funniest things ever seen on a golf course.
6. Jay and Silent Bob
For those who don’t know, these are the 2 coolest stoners ever (way cooler the Bill and Ted). Taking these guys to the local bar or nightclub would be hilarious… take a look at the video.
7. Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker) from the 5th Element
Nobody knows who this character is which is unfortunate given he is one of the funniest dudes ever!!!! Who knows what Chris Tucker was on when he dreamt up this character, but if you were going to a bar or nightclub with this guy, I’d imagine it would be a boys only. One of the funniest supporting characters in cinema history.

Movie Posters Sells Movies
I love watching movies, so much so that I collect every print poster of my favorite movies. I have that melancholic poster printing of 'Gone With the Wind.' I had to shell out several dollars to get it because apparently it has become a collector's item. I have all those print posters of all the Bond films. I have The Godfather print posters tucked away in a sealed container to preserve its quality. I love those movies and those print posters represent every one of them.
Making movies and selling them is big business. As a business, movies have to be a hit in the box office. To achieve this, movie producers have to develop new and innovative ways to sell the movie. A million dollar cast does not guarantee a hit; but a good promotion campaign can. One of the more popular campaign tools that most movie producers resort to is posters. Like for any other business, poster printing makes sure that the movie is seen and anticipated by the movie-going public.
Poster printing for movies is a good way to advertise. It gives the public a preview of what to expect in the movie, the actors or actresses in it, and most importantly, its entertainment value. This means that it should be able to entertain the public at least for a good two hours. These three things are things which the movie-going public wants to know and they can be addressed through a well designed, properly conceptualized print poster.
Let us look at the elements of well designed, well thought of movie poster:
1. Highlight the Faces
Who are in it? The actors or actresses in the movie have a big influence on ticket sales. There are bankable stars that a mere mention of their name or by just showing their faces in your poster printing project is enough to attract movie goers. Names like Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Meryll Streep are a few of the more popular Hollywood starts that have the drawing power. Be sure to use these celebrities as subjects of your poster. Capitalize on his or her crowd drawing powers.
2. Give the Movie Genre
Your custom poster must be able to give a preview of what to expect in the movie. Is it an action film? A psycho thriller? It must be able to give the public a feel of what the movie has to offer. Remember that the picture says a thousand words and the picture in your poster must be able to do that and more.
3. Experiment with Typeface
One overlooked component of a good movie poster is the typeface used in the design. Typefaces have personalities. They say something about themselves. These typefaces must complement the theme of the movie. There are specific typefaces for a specific genre. A horror flick would definitely have a different typeface from a supposedly light and funny one.
There are many ways to skin a cat as there are a lot of ways to design a poster project. The ingredients above do not necessarily make a good and delectable meal. These are just guides that might improve it. There are still a lot of factors that might impinge on the ability of a movie to sell; but one thing is for sure, a good advertising campaign reduces the risk of a flop.

Lottery Ticket Movie Review
Lottery Ticket is a very likeable movie starring rapper, singer and now actor Bow Wow. This could be the movie that transforms him into the next teenage matinee idol.
People who play Powerball and Lotto should watch this movie for tips on what NOT to do if they ever win the big prize!
Bow Wow plays Kevin Carson, a nice kid with a big imagination who lives in the projects with his grandmother (played by Loretta Devine). When Kevin is not spending time hanging out with his best friends Benny (played by Brandon T. Jackson) and Stacie (Naturi Naughton), he works at the local Foot Locker. Kevin dreams of one day of running his own shoe design company, but is constantly derided by people who tell him he will never get out of the projects.
The Powerball lottery has just come to town, causing quite a lot of excitement as people in the neighborhood spend their money trying to get rich. Kevin tells anyone who will listen that the lottery is just a racket designed to keep poor people poor. But soon he too gets caught up in the fever, and he eventually purchases a ticket using the numbers given to him in a fortune cookie.
As luck would have it, Kevin’s ticket ends up being the winner of the $370 million Powerball jackpot. But since it’s the beginning 4th of July weekend the lottery office is closed for 3 days. Now most people in that situation might hold up in a motel or their own bedroom for 3 days until the lottery office reopens … but after accidently letting it slip that he won the millions, Kevin folds the ticket into his wallet in his back pocket and spends 3 days walking around the projects.
The rest of the movie deals with Kevin trying to hold onto his ticket as everyone comes out of the woodwork to get a piece of the prize.
Comedian Mike Epps has a short but memorable cameo as the Baptist minister who after learning of the winning ticket tries to get his hands on some of the money. He is faithful to his flock but can’t help thinking about his possible future with that kind of cash. Epps is very funny and it makes you wish he had a larger role.
Loretta Devine is perfect as Kevin’s grandmother who always has a “Praise-Jesus” ready to recite. She is proud of how Kevin is growing up and is concerned about what all that money could do to him.
A couple of old-time gangsters (played by Keith David and Terry Crews) front Kevin a “bridge-loan” on his winnings and become a real problem.
Teairra Mari plays a local gold-digging temptress who tries using sex to latch onto Kevin’s millions. A real hottie, she tries to get Kevin to impregnate her, but he’s smart enough to say no.
But Kevin’s most dangerous neighbor turns out to be hardcore criminal Lorenzo (played by Gbenga Akinnagbe). Lorenzo already dislikes Kevin because Kevin refused to give him free shoes from Foot Locker. So when Lorenzo learns that Kevin is walking around with $370 million in his pocket he decides that he will stop at nothing … including killing … to get that money.
By far funniest character with the best lines has to be Kevin’s best friend Benny. He is always trying to come up with the “big ideas”, and when he sees that Kevin is being harassed by everyone he passes on the street he comes up with an absurd but very funny plot to escape the town using an old Underground Railroad map from his high school history book. Fantastic.
Lottery Ticket is a very cute movie with some amusing and thoughtful commentary about sexual responsibility and the need to be charitable to your community.

Movie Review: True Romance - Most Amazing Action Movie Ever
Do you want to see a movie that is filled with action, suspense, and dialogue that you will never forget? Would you like to see a movie starring Brad Pitt before anybody even knew who he was? Would you like to see a movie with Val Kilmer playing the ghost of Elvis? Then look no further than "True Romance," starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. This movie was a smash hit when it first came out, and is just as entertaining today.
Our movie starts out with a few regular characters that could be any one of us. There is a drug deal gone bad. There is a violent shoot out that leaves everybody dead, and a stack of money, and a bag of illegal drugs sitting out in the open. Our hero happens by, and not being anybody's fool, decides to take the money, and run, literally. The movie is called "True Romance," because he happens to be in love, and broke. The boy and his love decide to take the loot and head out to California to start anew.
Before they leave, they stop off at his fathers place of work. His father is a security guard, and an ex police officer. The son figures his father still has connections, and will know of any police or gangsters are after the money. He hasn't heard anything, so the son and his girl figure they are in the clear and head out to Hollywood.
However, all is not well. The money belongs to a powerful crime syndicate. It doesn't take long for the powerful gangster to find the boys unlucky father. After unsuccessfully trying try his son's whereabouts out of him, they kill him. This is likely one of the best scenes in the movie, as the boys father, played fantastically by Dennis Hopper, gives one of the most infamous speeches regarding Italian history prior to being killed.
The mobsters chase the boy and his girl to California, and the chase is on. The boy decides to sell the drugs to a movie producer, who in turn hopes to use the drugs to seduce the girl he is in love with. The final scene is an epic shoot out that is both extremely funny and dramatically entertaining.
This stunning masterpiece is filled with now famous actors that command millions of dollars per performance. Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer just to name a couple all had hilarious roles in this fantastic movie. This movie has everything you could ever hope for in a film, as well as classic scenes and dialogues that you can refer to again and again.Directed by Tony Scott, and written by the now world famous Quintin Tarantino, this movie set the gold standard for dialogue rich action movies. We highly recommend that you make this film an addition to your DVD library.

Bruce Lee Workout Routine - Uncover Bruce Lee's Original Exercise Routine
How many many years has it already been since Bruce Lee passed away ... yet around the Web, a large number of men everyday are still looking for the Bruce Lee Training regimen.
Exactly why is this?
Unquestionably, it arises from the reality that Bruce had been years in front of his time. In a day and time exactly where no martial artist cross-trained in other fighting disciplines -- never mind employing isometrics and free weights to develop strength together with significantly greater quickness.
How a lot of young boys -- now adult males -- can still clearly recall seeing Lee's ripped, rock hard chest muscles, as well as stomach muscles glaring down at them from the silver screen.
The amount of folks that were influenced because of the Bruce Lee workout program contains some famous names inside the iron game. Celebrities for example, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shawn Ray, Lou Ferrigno, Dorian Yates, and numerous other people have spoken out publicly about the great effect that the Lee body had on them.
Even Joe Weider... The King Of All Bodybuilding -- said that Bruce's physique made an impact in the fitness levels of today's modern bodybuilders.
The Bruce Lee training regimen varied over time. To Lee having big muscles did not automatically imply that you simply had "strength." He believed in what has today been named "functional strength."
Functional strength indicates that you have capacity to take the muscle size developed inside the health club and turn it in to speed, power along with strength.
His weight training work out regimen initially consisted of working out 3 days per week.
The workout consisted of simple compound movements for instance... pull overs, squats and bicep curls. This system permitted Bruce to keep on teaching the Kung Fu without having unneeded muscle pain or injuries.
Simply by adhering to this fundamental program Bruce was in a position to obtain thirty-five lbs.
Nonetheless, Lee did not like carrying the additional fat around he felt it slowed him down. As a consequence, he customized his exercising program to become more useful.
Here Is Bruce Lee's Training Regimen
Clean & Press
Squats
Pullovers
Bench Presses
Barbell Curls
Good Mornings ( Caution -- Lee seriously injured his back doing this physical exercise and as a consequence altered his work out program dramatically. Please don't perform the "good morning exercise.")
