Owen Wilson Meets Malaysian Prime Minister In ‘Zoolander’ Moment

Owen Wilson Meets Malaysian Prime Minister

In a life-imitates-art moment, Zoolander star Owen Wilson recently got to meet the current Prime Minster of Malaysia, and the actor's friend and frequent co-star Ben Stiller tweeted a photo of Wilson with the PM at a formal event.

Although not as dramatic as its on-screen counterpart, the photo shows Wilson posing and shaking hands with Prime Minster Najib Razak. Of the photo, Stiller wrote, "Hansel meets the real Prime minister of Malaysia!" (See the photo here above.)

If you've seen the 2001 comedy Zoolander, then you know how awesome this shot is. In the film's plot, Stiller's title character, a dim-witted, but highly successful male model, is brainwashed by the maniacal Mugatu (Will Ferrell) to assassinate the Prime Minster of Malaysia. Wilson plays Hansel, Stiller's new model competition, who ultimately teams up with him to thwart Mugatu's evil plan [...]

Rush To Get These 10 Rush Albums On Sale For Only $5 Each!

Rush banner

Amazon is currently running a spectacular CD deal that all fans of the band Rush cannot ignore -- only $5.00 for select titles in their rich history of work, and most of those albums are some of the bands best in their long and still-going career.

Hailing from Canada, Rush has been defying music critics and delighting progressive and hard rock fans for over 40 years. The trio mixes a basic framework of classic rock with impossibly amazing arrangements and hyper rhythms to create ear popping music which scores of bands try to emulate to much lesser degrees. All told, Rush set a standard and carved a niche in music which cemented their status as one of rock and roll's best.

Below is a breakdown of all the titles on sale, which is mainly the first 12 studio albums, with a little bit of history and the stand-out tracks. Note, two of the albums are priced a dollar or so higher, but the price is definitely still worth it. Also, we've include links to the MP3 downloads in case you just can't wait to get your Rush fix (we can't blame you!) [...]

Movie Review: The Hunger Games

Posted: 24 Mar 2012 10:07 AM PDT

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

Directed by Gary Ross

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Donald Sutherland

Release Date: March 23, 2012


Dystopian visions of a once eminent society are a much reliable subject matter in cinema. When done properly the results can be dreadfully potent, resulting in audiences pondering endlessly the future of humanity. Such effectiveness can be traced back to 1929, when the silent film Metropolis shocked audiences with its unprecedented vision of a hopeless future. The Hunger Games, the most recent and disturbing foray into a terrifyingly vivid dystopian society, which is based upon Suzanne Collins' universally renowned book of the same name, still retains the foundation Metropolis adhered to 83 years ago: a representation of a bleak future that offers little hope.

The Hunger Games is a vicious representation of an American society fiendishly obsessed with violence, spectacle, personas, gluttony, betting, and meticulously concocted relationships doomed for failure. Remembering the first Harry Potter film or Twilight film, one can unhesitatingly perceive how drastically the worlds of those films differentiate from the world Collins has created. Her world is a disenchanted one, sufficiently harboring harsh, painful abominations carried out by teenagers devoid of any semblance of facial hair. For the majority of the film sentimentality and childishness are inadmissible, a kind of drapery thrown upon them in favor of a behavior that some may find confounding, while others may find it, oddly enough, magnificent [...]
