Its all for you ...

Well when i was a kid, one of the very first presents i ever remember getting from santa was a cassette tape player and a cassette from the Jackson 5 .... I realy wanted a Leggo pirate ship but pretended to love the tape and player anyhow.

Who doesnt pretend to love a gift! .... So over the years i got to love to J's music, all of them, MJ, J5, JJ, well except for LJ, she was weirder than MJ.

Well regardless, when i hit the age of about 10, dad, who was the CEO of a world wide toy company in its Australia area, gave me a gift he got from some guy he met.

Aparently some singer come out to Australia for a music tour and his toy line "Michaels Pets" was distributed by my dads company. At the time i couldnt care less, I still wanted the lego pirate ship!

This gift dad gave me was a signed personalised cassette tape of "Bad" by MJ.

At the time i had no idea, and to be honest had no clue that he was so big, or that my dad knew the guy at the time.

Over time i grew up, enjoyed the music, realised dads gift realy was a decient gift, and i still have it. Dont worry, im not selling it on E-Bay .... A time will come when my dad will pass and memories will be all i have, and while i didnt welcome the gift at the time, i guess that just adds to the memory all the same.

Either way, thats my tear on cheek on this blog for the year but ill leave it with three songs that i do remember from the Jackson family, and yep, one of them is from the girls! No No No No not LJ .......

Ladies first .... My 90's fix



And my J5 Fix!



For my MJ fix, i wanted Black or white, but the Youtube Nazi's wont let me show it, oh internet politics, its worse than politics itself.

Hugh Jackman lunches with Miley Cyrus ....

Yes loads of blogs are saying the duo will be working together, but none mention that Jackman owns his own production company, meaning he may not be in the film hes trying to sign her on for ....

Enough said ...

2nd Update - Top 5 guys this time!

Ill cut the crap and just get to the list!

1. Garret Dillahunt

If you have ever seen the TV show Life, this guy played the most intimidating bad guy on TV ever! Its a big call but i watch alot of TV and he wins the prize hands down. Shame how they ended it for him tho, i figured it would have been alot tougher to bring the fella down.

He also played a terminator in the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

2. Eric Bana

Cos he's just cool alright!

3. Josh Peck

Who would have thunk it ... little Joshua Peck grew up! He was last in The Wackness with Ben Kingsley and has a few movies in the pipeline. He also lost the baby fate ladies. Google Josh Peck and see what he looked like before he layed off the fried food.

4. Michael Weatherly

I love NCIS, its one of the few cop procedural shows i watch, and this guy is funny as hell in it. He can also kick some serious bad guy ass and is pretty smart, he reminds me of me in my office, always annoying the crap out of everyone else who's hard at work. He gave up his family inheritance to become an actor. But hey it paid off.

5. Neil Patrick Harris

Why ? Because he's Neil Patrick Harris, he's a qualified Magician, and he is really funny.

Whenever im in trouble, i just ask myself, What would Neil Patrick Harris do ?

Update on my top actors around today ....

So its been six months or so since i last updated my list of top actors. As i recall i had a list of 10, however this time im making two lists, top 5 female and top 5 male actors.

Im updating this because my choices change on a regular basis depending on what i watch and when!

Without hesitation, here are my top five female actors. The top 5 male will be posted separate.

1. Samaire Armstrong

Samaire makes it on my list for a number of reasons, shes cute, shes funny, she can act, and above all, she can pull off the short hair styles ....

I first came across her when i was watching re-runs of The OC (yes i have the dvd's, yes im a guy, and no i didnt just watch for Misha Barton, she looks like a mouse)

2. Yvonne Strahovski

Ive always been a fan of the show Chuck, and when you get to look at this gal each week, why wouldn't you be a fan. I was watching a behind the scenes section on the chuck dvd set, and when casting the role they had to find a girl who would make Zachary Levi look very average, hmmm they found the right girl ....

3. Anne Hathaway

I dont care what anyone said about the film, i loved Get Smart. I was a fan of the classics and it was good to see a movie version of the show including Anne. I will never admit to ever watching any of the Princess Diary movies, you can torture me all you like but i will not concede.

4. Leslie Mann

This girl is funny, which you would expect considering she married Judd Apatow, tho i still think shes funnier than him. I like a girl whos a bit of a smart ass.

5. Amanda Righetti

Another OC part timer, shes now on The Mentalist, and she also makes the cut this time because shes hot, she likes the other guy on the Mentalist, you know the one, the terminator! (He played a terminator on The Sarah Connor Chronicles for a short time)

So there you have it, 5 lovely ladies ive had my eye on over the last half a year. Eyes firmly on there eyes tho of course!

Who's the next Aussie to make it big ...

Well time to place your bets!

We have a wide field of contenders to consider and odds on success ...

Our first actor out of the barrier is ....

Chris Hemsworth

You may not know the name, unless your a Star Trek fan, then you may recall he played Captain Kirks father in the opening scenes of the new Star Trek movie.

He has no less than 5 movies in the can already, including Joss Whedons next film "The Cabin In The Woods" and is next filming Marvels next comic adaptation Thor, playing the title character.

Odds : 10-1 A good chance

Kodi Smit-McPhee

This young kid last appeared along side Viggo Mortensen in "The Road" and in other Australian productions.

Not much on his plate at the moment, but he's young so maybe high school is his priority, Id say he's a long shot to hit it big at the moment but has a hell of alot of talent.

Odds : 20 - 1 Don't count on it just yet

Mia Wasikowska

At 20 years of age, she was on Variety's top 10 actors to watch. Cate Blanchett said shes a better actor than she was at the same age and she can also sing and dance.

Shes appearing in Tim Burtons Alice In Wonderland as Alice, and in Amelia, the biopic on Earhart alongside Hillary Swank & Ewan McGreggor.

Odds : 5 - 1 The favourite

Yvonne Strahovski

You might remember this hottie from the TV show Chuck, well now she has moved onto movies and has a few already in the bag.

The fact she landed in LA from Australia and landed a TV role in under 3 days shows shes either incredibly lucky or an incredible talent.

Odds : 10 - 1 The luck may continue

Ryan Kwanten

Well he plays a sex crazed moron on True Blood, and apparently all the girls swoon over this guy. He's a great actor however at the moment he's pigeon holed to True Blood.

Not much else on his plate, but he has the popularity for a network or casting agent to give him a boost.

Odds : 15 - 1

Abbie Cornish

Best known as the chick dating Ryan Phillippe, she does have impressive acting skills, enough for her to get a part in the next Zach Snyder production "Sucker Punch" shes also a diverse actor which bodes well for a hollywood career.

Odds : 10 - 1

So who's your pick ? Anyone's guess really, for all we know none of them will make it big, then again, all of them might. Time will tell ....

Well i found it funny ...

So they butchered Deadpool

I saw X Men Origins last week, and i cant hide my disappointment for a number of reasons.

Firstly one of my favourite characters in the x-men universe Deadpool has a story arc that's been completely turned on its head ....

He's known as the "merc with a mouth" so what do they do ? Sew his mouth shut ????

Laser eyes ? Adamantium swords ? Its as if the writers got together and wondered how they could make the bad guy any more lame ...

"I know, lets make him teleport around, heal, shoot lasers from his eyes, have no mouth, and have swords instead of hands!" <--- and these guys got paid to write this movie.


Epic fail .... How someone on the movie didn't put there hand up and say "wait a minute guys, what the hell are we doing ?" is beyond me.

The special effects are cheep, the love interest cant act and to top it all ... drum roll ... one mutant looks like a walking disco ball.

The only good thing about the whole film was Gambit, who ive liked from the 90's x-men cartoons i watched when i was little.

Give this one a miss if your a comic fan, those who are not and are looking for some popcorn action may like it tho.

Hopefully if Ryan Reynolds gets the green light for a Deadpool Origins film, they can redeem themselves because he did play the character well.
