 Ego Babes- Megan Fox

Born in 1986 in Tennessee, no one could have imagined the star that Megan Fox has become today.  She is a household name from her role in Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.  Another commonplace that Megan’s face can be seen these days is on any recent Hot 100 list. She was #2 on Maxim’s list in 2009 and was voted #1 sexiest woman by FHM readers in 2008.

It looks like she won’t be soon forgotten with at least 6 more movies to be released before the end of 2011.  The next one being Jennifer’s Body, where she plays a possessed cheerleader who turns into a killer and specializes in killing her classmates.  It doesn’t matter if the movie seems Oscar worthy or not,  Megan Fox will still sell out theaters.

 Meet Greg Mottola.

Greg Mottola’s latest feature film endeavor was the comedy Adventureland.  Having directed Superbad, this is his latest attempt in the alt-comedy genre.  Starring Jesse Eisneberg, Ryan Reynolds and Twilight’s Kristen Stewart.  The film follows James  (Jesse Eisenberg) as he inadvertently spends the summer working in a crappy amusement park in his hometown in 1987.  Based on Greg’s summer experience at an amusement park on Long Island the film is peppered with 80’s music and references.  You can find out more about his music choices on his twitter link or on his celebrity play list on Itunes. The films cast also boasts SNL’s Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader as the park owners. 

Greg’s imdb page reads like a film students dream;  beyond Superbad his next project is a feature “Paul” starring the hilarious Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) and follows the travels of a comic book geek.  His television directing career started with the acclaimed Judd Apatow series “Undeclared” and he then went on to the equally respected “Arrested Development”.   Who wouldn't want this career?  Adventureland opens in theaters on April 3rd.

Meet Howard Hall - Filmmaker.

Documentary filmmaker Howard Hall has captured the wild array of sea life in this 3D Imax movie filmed in multiple locations including Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

With Jim Carrey as the Narrator giving informative information, the images are so strong that the viewer may be easily distracted by the beautiful eye popping colorful 3D sea creatures this movie has to offer. The film is not only appealing to children with its playful tone but also for the adult audience with its advanced photographic technology. 350 hours underwater and 110 days at sea were spent to get 10 hours of raw footage in this 40 minute Warner Brothers Production. Put on your 3D glasses, sit back and enjoy watching flamboyant Cuttlefish and Iridescent Reef quid popping out of the Imax screen as well as many other fantastical sea creatures filmed in some of the most remote places on earth. This movie is a must see!
