 iNetflix is here!So it’s been awhile since I’ve updated. Sue me. =)

However, I have a few updates to present, and the Netflix app for your iThing (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) is on the top of the list. Sure, I already have the app which allows me to arrange my queue, add and remove movies etc — but now I can actually watch them, too. Great for road trips, bored on a Wi-Fi enabled plane, etc.

“Apple has changed the game for mobile devices,” said Reed Hastings, Netflix co-founder and chief executive officer. “We’re excited that our members can now carry Netflix around in their pockets and instantly watch movies and TV shows streamed from Netflix right to their iPhone or iPod touch.”

The Expendables, or Action Clowns?

I am interesting in seeing this movie purely based on knowing how bad it will be, yet have some awesome kickass action movie stars in it. Anyone up for laughing at it with me soon?

In the rousingly explosive ’80s-pulp climax of The Expendables, Sylvester Stallone’s old-tin-soldiers-of-action mercenary thriller, the director-star and his right-hand lug, Jason Statham, lead a band of commandos in an assault on the island fortress of a corrupt general. The funny thing is, they don’t really have a plan. The ”plan” is this: They show up and attack the general’s men with fists, knives, and very big guns. The way that Stallone directs, though, every machete thrust and relentless round of bullet spray is staged with a certain undeniable conviction.

Sadly, Will Ferrell wins

I’m not a Will Ferrell fan, and I still don’t plan on seeing this movie until it hits Netflix. Inception was an awesome movie. “The Other Guys” are the main guys at the box office, knocking off “Inception” to take the No. 1 spot. The buddy-cop parody starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg made $35.6 million [...]

After a few flop-albums, Eminem’s “Recovery’ album comes back strong, making the #1 selling album for the past month. One of my favorite tracks, “Love the Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna has it’s video right here — good acting by Megan Fox (better than Transformers, I should say!) and her music video’s boyfriend. Rihanna, however.. [...]

She spent less than 2 weeks of her 3-month sentence and it makes national headlines? My goodness. After serving 13 days of a three-month sentence in a Los Angeles county jail, Lindsay Lohan was released at 1:35 this morning and driven straight to a rehab facility. According to the Los Angeles Times, sheriff’s spokesperson Steve Whitmore confirmed [...]

Updating from an earlier post, I have found the trailer for Lindsay Lohan’s “new film” — it’s not completely safe for work/kids, so beware. It’s kinda funny, in a really stupid way. Think of it more as one of those comedy date movies that throws in several different movies together, and this is the result. [...]

Randy Jackson will be the only returning judge for American Idol next season. The producers wanted to keep a small connection to the original host of American Idol judges. Simon Cowell left for “The X Factor,” Ellen DeGeneres stepped down after one season, and Kara DioGuardi was let go. Apparently Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler [...]

Apparently our favorite jailbaby was busy before going to prison, filming a Marilyn Monroe comedy remake with the guy from the Sham-Wow commercials, Vince Shlomi. You can even see her wonderful accessory, her SCRAM-anklet in this shot. I have no idea what else the movie is about or when it’s due to release (straight to [...]
