Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium..

Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world.. In fact, it’s a magic toy store and everything in it comes to life - including the store itself.. The emporium asks only one thing of its customers - you must believe it to see it..

From the looks of it they're going for a real Willy Wonka vibe, right down to the type of font in the title and Dustin Hoffman's purple suit.. And like Willy Wonka, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder, revolves around a magical environment ( In this case, a toy store ) owned by a 243 year - old eccentric who's looking to hand over his prize possession to someone a bit younger and more vibrant ( Natalie Portman ).. However, when a straight - laced accountant ( and non - believer ), played by Jason Bateman, begins to poke his nose into things, the magic slowly fades.. Zach Helm, who penned Stranger Than Fiction, wrote and will make his directorial debut with the film..

The flick itself, while clearly inspired ( At least in part ) by Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and / or Pee - wee's Playhouse, still looks pretty darn alive.. I love family films that inject all sorts of color into every scene, and Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium seems to be all about fun and imagination.. It's also a very interesting role for Hoffman, who appears in all kinds of funky outfits with a lisp and an extra jump in each step.. It's a role I'd expect out of Robin Williams, not Hoffman, but I'm sure he'll deliver the goods.. He always does.. Portman once again returns to a " cute " role, the kind of girl next door character she played in Zach Braff's quirky Jersey flick.. So if you liked her in that film, you'll certainly dig her here..

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium will arrive in theaters on 16^th November 2007..

Wikipedia Told of Death 14 Hours Before Bodies Found..

In what was a poorly thought through prank or an eerie forewarning, someone apparently reported the death of Chris Benoit's wife on Wikipedia - the online open source encyclopedia - more than 14 hours before police discovered her body, along with her son's and husband's, at the pro wrestler's Fayette County home..

An anonymous user edited the biography of the wrestler on Monday at 12:01 a.m., said Sandra Ordonez, communication manager for the Wikimedia Foundation, which runs the encyclopedia..

Authorities discovered the bodies at the Benoit's Green Meadow Lane home that afternoon, at 2:30 p.m..

The Monday morning posting said: " Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the [ ECW ] Extreme Championship Wrestling Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy.."

Adding to the mystery, the anonymous poster used a computer whose internet protocol, or IP, address was traced to Stamford, Connecticut, where the headquarters for Benoit's employer, for World Wrestling Entertainment, is located..

During a press conference Tuesday, June 26, Fayette County district attorney Scott Ballard confirmed that Chris Benoit had murdered his wife and son.. His wife was bound at the wrists and feet, while there were no signs of restraint on his son, both died of asphyxiation.. It is reported that his wife died on Friday, his son died on Saturday, and Benoit killed himself later Saturday evening or early Sunday morning.. Benoit's body was found dead of asphyxiation and hanging by the cord of a weight machine in his basement.. It was also reported that there were Bibles by both Nancy and Daniel's bodies..

On Wednesday, June 27, County's district attorney Scott Ballard explained that Benoit may have killed his son with a chokehold.. He said the boy had internal injuries to the throat area, but showed no bruises, indicating he may have been locked in the crook of his father's arm.. Nancy Benoit had bruises on her back and stomach consistent with someone pressing a knee into the small of the back while pulling on a cord around the neck.. Benoit killed himself by wrapping a cord around his neck that was attached to a weight machine, and when Benoit released the weights about 240 pounds caused his strangulation.. Ballard said the pull - down bar had been removed and Benoit was found seated against the machine..

Did Chris somehow update it through a WWE server? It is a chilling revelation and police want to know who in Connecticut made the posting.. If it turns out that someone knew that early and the WWE still held that poorly thought out tribute to the killer, there will be more criticism heaped on the organization..

The posting now raises questions of who, if anyone, knew about the deaths and if so, when..

" We are looking at that, trying to track down the IP address," said Fayette Sheriff's Lt. Tammy Pope in a statement to WAGA - TV.. " It's either true or it's a hoax.."

Anyone can post and edit content on the Web encyclopedia.. Further more, an IP address, which is a unique set of numbers that every machine connected to the Internet carries, does not necessarily have to be broadcast from where it is registered..

The IP address from which the 12:01 a.m. addition was made had been flagged for " vandalizing " other Wikipedia entries in the past, ABC News reported..

Earlier this month, the same IP user also edited a post about WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero Jr., a close friend of Benoit's who reportedly was the recipient of at least one of the text messages Benoit sent over the weekend before the discovery of the bodies..

In that edit, the IP user took out a damaging description of Guerrero from the post, ABC News said..

Wikipedia does recruit volunteer editors who troll the entries to ensure that facts within posts are properly attributed..

According to a timeline posted on Wikinews, which is the news source of the nonprofit foundation, within an hour of the 12:01 post, the edit had been changed with the comment: " Need a reliable source.. Saying that his wife died is a pretty big statement, you need to back it up with something.."

Another hour went by.. Then a second anonymous edit, using what appears to be an Australian Internet service provider, added the attribution: " according to several pro wrestling websites.."

Again, the edit was changed after 20 minutes with the comment: " Saying ' several pro wrestling websites ' is still not reliable information.."

The posting was brought to the attention of the foundation, based in St. Petersburg, Fla., and an employee left a message with Fayetteville authorities about 11 a.m. Tuesday..

" We provided the IP address, and I guess they were investigating," Ordonez said..

The Chris Benoit entry, updated hundreds of times this week, has now been " locked " to prevent further edits by posters..

Beverly Hills Cop IV Update..

And talking about 80’s movies.. While " Rocky Balboa " fights his last fight, " John Rambo " goes back into action, John McClane " Lives Free or Dies Hard " and " Indiana Jones " saddles up again, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is looking back at Axel Foley..

Lorenzo di Bonaventura, is digging into a fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop series.. Well, let me just say, the sequel is in very, very, very early development.. Oh, and remember, they’ve tried to get this off the ground before.. Three or four times before, actually.. So don't get in line, just yet.

Apparently Eddie Murphy is down with the idea, although there is nothing formal yet.. Eddie’s movies haven’t been the same for the past ten years or so.. Most of his recent ones consist of him dressing up in fat suits and playing a number of family characters.. These were funny but the Eddie Murphy from the 80’s was a foulmouthed crackle - pop, which we all loved.. Murphy's status as a family comedian has studios worried about letting him swear up a storm again..

Here is what di Bonaventura recently told reporters about his desire to let Eddie be old - school Eddie..

" Happening' would be too strong a word, but we are working on a take.. We have not hired a writer yet, but we've been analyzing the franchise and asking lots and lots of people about Alex Foley.. 'What do you love about Axel and what would you want to see with an Axel Foley movie?' I think we have enough information now that we'll probably be hiring a writer in the next four to eight weeks and taking a good shot at it.."

" I think it's going to be a really interesting debate, and it's one we're going to have for a while.. That's what I want.. Will you guys call Paramount and tell them that? The studio says their research is telling them PG.. I'm with you.. I won't do it if it's PG - 13.."

Good call, Lorenzo.. The way I see it, if Eddie is gonna even touch his '80s oeuvre, he has to really smack it, you know? He has to whip it, be as blazingly verbally ferocious as he was back in the day.. I say aim for the R rating..

I personally, have been loving all these 80’s remakes and sequels.. Of course I am hanging for " V: The Second Generation " to be filmed and released..

Conan the Barbarian Update..

It seems it's time for the 80's to do a come back.. With all these remakes, and sequels to 80's movies, what will be next? Well New Line Cinema is in the lead to take over the " Conan the Barbarian " franchise..

Warner Bros. Pictures lost the film rights a few weeks ago to Robert E. Howard's mythical conqueror series after seven years of assorted failed attempts to resurrect the property..

Larry and Andy Wachowski, original " Conan " director John Milius, Robert Rodriguez and Boaz Yakin were all hired for their takes which varied between the original film and the more pulpy novels in tone..

If New Line makes the deal, said to be an 18 - month term with one extension, the studio will have to start from scratch as Warners owns the various drafts it developed..

But who will play Conan seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger is sticking to his politics? Gerard Butler

Hitman Update..

Well " Tomorrow's Entertainment " promised you all as soon as the trailer hits the net, we would post it for you.. It was posted at JoBlo.com but the were told to take it down so that Fox's sister video game site, IGN, can post it at 5pm ( PST ).. So we'll provide it for you here, and will not remove the trailer, so you can check it out.. Long live Youtube.com..

The Condemned Review..

What do you get when you cross " Stone Cold " Steven Austin with a rip - off of Running Man and Battle Royale? You get a cheesy B - movie thriller that doesn't deserve to be on the big screen.. and yet it is - tomorrow.. Lionsgate's film tells the story of Joe Conrad ( Stone Cold Steve Austin ), who is awaiting the death penalty in a corrupt Central American prison.. He is " purchased " by a wealthy television producer and taken to a desolate island where he must fight to the death against nine other condemned killers from all corners of the world, with freedom going to the sole survivor..

Rated: [ R ]

Cinema release: 27th April 2007

Running Time: 113 minutes

Stars: ' Stone Cold ' Steve Austin, Vinnie Jones, Rick Hoffman, Robert Mammone, Tory Mussett and Madeleine West

Since its creation in 2002, WWE Films have released several theatrical endeavors under it's banner, co - producing The Rundown and Walking Tall and solely producing See No Evil and The Marine.. And now, in 2007, we are blessed with a new addition to the family, The Condemned.. And by blessed, I mean severely punished..

The Condemned tells us the story of a millionaire television producer, Breckel ( Robert Mammone ), who has a dream: to broadcast a fight to the death, between 10 death row convicts from all over the world, on the Internet.. The last convict standing after 30 hours will be set free and given a large payoff.. Taking place on a small, unnamed island, he assembles a crack team of producers and cameramen and goes to work.. Out of these convicts, the film centralizes on Conrad ( Famed wrestler Steve Austin ), who was prisoned in Central America and must make it out alive to get back home to Texas and his girlfriend..

The film, like most of the B - level action genre, has little plot and is unapologetic about being a cross between several films that came before it ( In this case, Battle Royale, The Running Man and the lesser known No Escape and The Game come to mind).. And for that, I give it credit for at least being aware that it is a painfully obvious clone.. As far as this aspect plays towards the entertainment factor; not so much..

The death scenes are very unapologetic and brutal for a film of this caliber and for this, I will also give the filmmakers some credit.. For these scenes, the film seems to switch from action to the slasher genre.. Everything from rape to slit throats to other depraved acts are presented for the audience..

The aspect The Condemned suffers from the most is the ridiculous subplots, of which it has three.. Three subplots for a film with almost no recognizable central plot.. The fact that all three of these are very cliché and boring does not help the film at all.. If anything, taking them out would have reduced the running time by about 20 - 30 minutes and made the film much more enjoyable.. We have the girlfriend subplot ( Which was the most pointless out of the three ), the FBI subplot ( Which gives the audience some hope for our hero but is never really shown as doing much of anything ) and the inner turmoil among the show's crew..

Another big beef I have with the film is the camera work.. Every time a fight scene pops up, we are treated to cinematography similar to The Blair Witch Project.. The live events are shot better than this film.. With the WWE behind it, you'd figure they would at least stage the action scenes well and employ competent people for this component of the film, since that is what they do for a living..

The film does manage to entertain in a few segments.. The dialogue, while awful, works towards the humor of the film.. You will be chuckling at humor so bad it's funny and many unintentional moments as well.. More so with the unintentional moments, which Vinnie Jones ( Snatch, X-Men: The Last Stand ) provides the majority of..



The Condemned fails on many levels and succeeds only minorly in capturing the B - grade action films of the 80's.. Even from an action standpoint, the film has little to offer, opting to instead show us what is going on in the broadcasting control room than what is going on with our characters on the island.. With some better pacing and about 30 minutes cut out of it, it could have been an moderately enjoyable action flick.. Instead, we are stuck with yet another WWE action film that does not deliver..

I give " The Condemned " 1 out of 5..

Chris Benoit Dead: McMahon " Death " Storyline Ends..

On June 25, 2007, Benoit was found dead in his home in Atlanta, Georgia, along with his wife, Nancy Daus, and his son, Daniel..

According to lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department, in Fayetteville, Ga., the deaths of WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel were the result of a double murder-suicide..

Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Tx., and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency.. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc.. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested that they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family..

Authorities representing the Sheriff’s Department initially had a difficult time entering Benoit’s new Fayetteville home Monday afternoon, which had been guarded by two large German Shepherds roaming freely around the property.. Once authorities entered the residence, they quickly located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel.. The three bodies were found in different rooms of the home, according to reports..

At 10 pm Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference in conjunction with Scott Ballard, the district attorney for Fayette County.. The press conference officially ruled authorities’ findings as a double murder - suicide from within the home.. There was no sign of gunshot wounds or stabbing, according to Pope.. But they are not ruling out other causes, such as poisoning, suffocation, or strangulation.. Pope noted he was not confirming any of these causes - just not ruling them out at this time..

An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday morning at 10 am.. However, it could be weeks before there is a result..

The three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, in Decatur, Ga., where autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning.. Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks..

WWE Monday night canceled its scheduled live 3 - hour " Monday Night RAW " program, which coincidentally was originally billed as a " memorial service " for WWE chairman Vince McMahon, whose character was recently killed off in a controversial scripted storyline..

McMahon opened the show from center ring in an empty arena and clarified that Benoit and his family had died " in reality.." McMahon called Benoit " one of the greatest WWE superstars of all - time.."

Fred Claus..

Fred Claus ( Vince Vaughn ) has lived almost his entire life in his little brother's very large shadow.. Fred tried, but he could never live up to the example set by the younger Nicholas ( Paul Giamatti ), who was just a perfect.. Well.. Saint.. True to form, Nicholas grew up to be the model of giving, while Fred became the polar opposite: a repo man who then steals what he repossesses..

Now Fred's dirty dealings have landed him in jail.. Over Mrs. Claus's objections, Nicholas agrees to bail his big brother out on one condition: that he come to the North Pole and work off his debt making toys.. The trouble is that Fred isn't exactly elf material and, with Christmas fast approaching, this one bad seed could jeopardize the jolliest holiday of the year.. Has Fred finally pushed his little brother to the brink? This time, what Fred may have stolen is Christmas itself, and it is going to take more than Rudolph to set things right..

" Fred Claus " will be sleighing into cinemas from the 9th November 2007..

Hitman..

Agent 47 ( Olyphant ) has been educated to become a professional assassin for hire, whose most powerful weapons are his nerve and a resolute pride in his work.. 47 is both the last two digits of the barcode tattooed on the nape of his neck, and his only name..

The hunter becomes the hunted when 47 gets caught up in a political takeover.. Both Interpol and the Russian military chase the Hitman across Eastern Europe as he tries to find out who set him up and why they're trying to take him out of the game.. But the greatest threat to 47's survival may be the stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a beautiful, damaged girl.."

For those who are unaware, " Hitman " is a film adaptation of the video game series " Hitman.." For a while there, Vin Diesel was the name that had been attached to the film as Agent 47.. Which I personally wasn’t looking forward too..

I was hoping for Jason Statham from " The Transporter " films.. He's already got the look, outfit, attitude and moves.. I tried to find a trailer for " Hitman " but was unable to find one.. It is being reported that the trailer for " Hitman " will be shown before " Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard.." So as soon as it hits the net " Tomorrow's Entertainment " will post it for you.. But I did find a fan made trailer which had Statham playing 47.. So at least his fans can see what could, and should, have been!

Now Timothy Olyphant will play 47.. I’m a huge fan of " Deadwood," I can’t wait to see him play another growling, deadly sonofabitch.. Personally, I think his face looks too soft for the character for my tastes, but Olyphant is a hell of an actor, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt..

" Hitman " will be hitting a theater near you from the 12th October 2007 in the US, and from the 1st November 2007 in Australia..

In the annals of history's great escapes there is no other story like that of Dieter Dengler, the only American to ever break out of a POW camp in the impenetrable Laotian jungle.. After months plotting his getaway and a death - defying journey through some of the world's fiercest wilderness, Dengler appeared at his first press conference looking like a dashing movie star and showing neither sentimentality nor bitterness - simply an indomitable will to survive that allowed him to triumph against impossible odds..

Now, from legendary director Werner Herzog ( Grizzly man, Fitzcarroldo ) and starring acclaimed actor Christian Bale ( Batman Begins, The Prestige ) comes the incredible true story of a renegade who, from the depths of total darkness, blazed his own willful path to freedom..

After a shocking initial ordeal, he is taken to a small Laotian prison camp, where he meets two American soldiers already held captive for a stultifying two years - both nearly broken in spirit.. Duane ( Steve Zahn ) can only recommend keeping quiet to stay alive, while the barely sane " Gene from Eugene " ( Jeremy Davies ) insists they are all about to be released any minute now.. But Dengler has no intention of sticking around the nightmarish camp, so he begins to dream up an escape plan that takes his fellow prisoners by surprise with its savvy and audacity.. Dengler doesn't even know where he is - but he knows with unwavering certainty that he must not stop fighting for his life.. As he makes his way into the jungle, his journey will never let up, as it takes him from the bonds of fraternity to the brink of despair, to one of the most remarkable rescues in modern history..
