When my brother and I traveled last week, we really talked extensively of how we loved The Avengers movie. Actually, he was scheduled to watch a second time when he back to Manila. He wanted to watch the 3D version.

Now, I know that we are not the only ones raving about the The Avengers. You see, the movie has set a new record in the domestic box office because it earned a whopping $200.3 million on its opening weekend this summer 2012. It is the largest by far in history, beating even Harry Potter.

And overseas, the superhero film earned $441.5 million, which makes its worldwide total of $641.8 million. For only one weekend, it had already surpassed the lifetime totals of other superhero flicks, namely Captain America: The First Avenger ($364 million), Thor ($449 million), Iron Man ($585 million), and Iron Man 2 ($624 million). Imagine that!

It is reported that The Avengers may earn a total of $1 billion worldwide. Well, the movie is really deserving so job well done to everyone involved!

If you are an offspring of a famous celebrity, then you have greater chances of inheriting genes of good looks and talent in acting and performing. And since your family is already exposed to show business, it would be easy for you to land a job in a movie or a sitcom or whatever.

Such is the case of Kris Van Varenberg, 24, son of action superstar Jean Claude van Damme, 51. The father and son team are filming for their upcoming film, “Welcome to the Jungle”, at the Mar Chiquita Beach in Puerto Rico. And knowing them, this is going to be another action flick, which is the reason why the young man looks grimy here. But look at the flexed muscles!

The father and son team had worked together in the past, such as “The Quest” and “Universal Soldier: Regeneration”.

Star-studded Cast for Lovelace–A Porn Star Bio-Pic

Posted on January 3, 2012 by movie critic| 2 Comments

Linda Boreman, who was better known in the adult film industry as Linda Lovelace was a porn actor in the 70s who eventually became a famous name in mainstream cinema. She was best remembered for her part in the movie Deep Throat, which she starred alongside another X-rated actor, Harry Reems in 1972.

Her story is now being filmed in a porn bio-epic that stars Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia). Lovelace claims that it was not her intention to be in the porn industry. She was only forced by her husband Chuck Traynor (played by Peter Sarsgaard). Now, the cast is joined in by Demi Moore and Adam Brody. Moore plays the character of the celebrated feminist Gloria Steinem while Brody reprises Reems.

The movie began shooting last month and it will try to depict the controversial life and love of Linda Lovelace. Boreman eventually denounced her films and became an anti-porn activist. She died in 2002 in a car accident.

Veteran actor Eric Roberts is also part of the cast. He plays the role of lie detector expert Nat Laurendi who questioned Lovelace for the facts in her book entitled Ordeal.

Other stars in the movie are Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Wes Bentley, Hank Azaria, Robert Patrick, Bobby Cannavale, and Chris Noth. It is being directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, who is best known for the Allen Ginsberg film, Howl.

It is interesting to note that there is another bio-pic about Lovelace that is being created. This one is entitled Inferno and the infamous porn actress is played by Malin Ackerman.
