No More Inferno for Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan will no longer be playing Linda Lovelace in her pornographic, violent and sometimes bestiality movie about her life Inferno.

Michael Wilder tells E!

"We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan," Wilder says. "We are currently in negotiations [with another actress] and working out the legalities of bringing her onboard."
In fact, E! News will exclusively announce Monday which "amazing actress" is replacing Lohan as Lovelace.


Well it was bound to happen this way. Nobody was going to insure Lindsay to do the film in the first place. And they were supposed to start shooting months ago, but lohans trouble with rehab kept postponing that. You can't keep that many people out of work for that length of time. On the other hand, nobody is going to see this film without Lindsays name to it. Wasn't that kinda the whole point?

Personally, I'm glad Lindsay won't be making this shit film. This wasn't going to make her career any better? And I'm actually rooting for the town crackhead, so judge me if you must.

Lindsay,

Get sober and get right for the next few years. Then come back and slay the industry!

Sincerely, Tasha Dee

Also, unless Betty White is going to play Lovelace why are they even still going to make this film?

For Colored Girls: Review

Directed by Tyler Perry. Starring Kimberly Elise, Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Thandie Newton, Anika Noni Rose, Kerry Washington, Tessa Thompson, Whoopi Goldberg, Macy Grace, and Phylicia Rashad!

Based on the play by Ntozake Shange "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf."

You have to go into this knowing that it is a series of monoloqgues performed by different characters each with their own storylines to exemplify their prolific poems.

Tyler Perry did well in connecting the character story lines to have all the women know each other. That was not the case in the play version. And I can't comment enough on how the acting just touched my soul. Firstly, Phylicia Rashad is the female version of Morgan Freeman. She is God on film. Don't be mad. and Loretta Devine needs to by my life coach because she had the films best poem and damn if she didn't mean it!

On that note. The film didn't do much else. I guess it was supposed to evoke emotions about being a colored girl in this society, but all those problems can be seen from other women of colors or even white girls. And what was the message? That black men suck, and black women suffer? What was supposed to inspire me? As a colored girl in the modern world none of those story lines would make me consider suicide, well maybe Kimberly Elise's character. (see the film to know what I'm referring too) And for those that did cry when watching this, I'm at a lost again. Sure there were plenty of sad things going on, aka every scene. But nothing that shocked or was disturbing to me. In all, I found the film to be really dated, hence it being written in the 1970's, and Perry didn't do well to make it modern. 

Kerry Washington is a fine actress but did not shine through all that talent. She barely had a chance though so I'll give her that. I have seen Anika Noni Rose and Physiclia on stage for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and they both do well on screen. Whoopi played the hell out her part! And Thandie surprised me, although I"m not sure why. She was great as well.

Also has anyone started a petition to get Janet Jackson to stop acting? *looks around*

6/10 is the best I can do. And it got that much for having Phylicia and Loretta.

The Fighter

Boy do I love a good boxing movie! I mean forget Harry Potter, The Rocky Franchise took me there! So naturally I'm excited about The Fighter coming out this year!! Bonus points for being about Irish brothers! (I am obsessed with the boondock saints don't cha know!)

Great cast and Director David O. Russell (whoever that is.)

Disclaimer: I'd see this film for the cast alone. Mark Whalberg, Christian Bale, and Amy Adams could film themselves watching a snail do the worm and I'd yell OSCAR!

I love when Mark plays manly men...ala shooter, four brothers!!!, and himself in Entourage lol. Pause. How the hell did Marky Mark go from Calvin Klein model to producing Entourage, How to make it in America, and now Boardwalk Empire!!! Niceeeeee.

Christian Bale is a brilliant determined actor who of course takes himself way too seriously. But at least he's talented.

And Amy Adams has yet to make me angry in a film. Well done.

Watch the trailer, get excited, then see the film! ok?

Little Red Riding Hood

Amanda Seyfried stars as Little Red Riding Hood in the new 2011 film version. I guess little miss nosy grows up and the town wolf that murdered her family comes back to haunt the already gothic town.

Click here to watch the trailer.

A few things.

1) The director Catherine Hardwicke directed the first Twilight. Guess she is paying Homage.
2) They never show us the freaking wolf! Umm ok, aren't trailers supposed to make me want to see the film???
3) This male lead...Shiloh Fernandez....yea he's two scrawny/weak/femmed out for me to take seriously. I won't with him being the town bad boy.
4) It's annoyingly obvious that the wolf is like Gary Oldman who plays Father Solomon because WHY ELSE WOULD HE BE IN THIS FAKE ASS TWILIGHT RIP OFF.

but as the old saying goes...if it aint broke then don't fix it. Well played Catherine. Sike.
