Is Tom Cruise Too Old For Action Movies?

     This is the fourth installment of the espionage thriller series and sure to be the most explosive. Mission Impossble 4 has been doing extremely well in the box office, blowing away its competition. This is due to its controversial main character, Tom Cruise. This enigma of a man has been on an apparent hiatus and at the age of 50, still seems to be keeping up a good pace. Wether you love the dude or think he is weird, their is no denying his talwnt or star power. He has a string of highly acclaimed films attached to his name and can be found all over the web associated to one story or another. One thing is very clear about the MI4 star, he is a thrill seeking adrenaline junkie who has a strong urge to literally go out on a limb and complete his own stunts. It has been said that Tom Cruise declined the use of a stunt double for most of the action sequences of this film, opting to instead complete them himself. This is quite an impressive feat co sideromg the stars age. I do plan on going out and supporting this film if only for the fact that I grew up on the Mission Impossible fanchise and would feel left out if I were to miss the theater showing of such a widely popular cinematic event. Ill see you at the movie theate.

Fear Factor And Joe Rogan

A favorite past time of mine in the early 2000s was settling in and watching a group of random people do disgusting and sometimes terrifying things, knowing the whole time that only one person would win the meager $50,0000 prize and the honor of hearing Joe Rogan state the simple phrase "Apparently fear is not a factor for you." NBC had me hooked to this formulaic show and I watched religiously both entertained and morbidly curious to see the extent that everyday people would go to win the equivalent of a lower middle class individuals salary. Im sure there was alot of editing involved because technically this show did qualify as a reality television program although comparing it to Keeping Up With The Kardashians or Teen Mom would likely be a mistake. This is because Fear Factor eats all other reality shows for lunch. All this being said is just to emphasize my joy about the return of in my opinion, one of the best shows of the 2000s. Executive producer Matt Kunitz has been quoted as saying they plan to up the ante on the revamped 2011 version of the soon to be classic program. There will be crazier stunts and more vile challenges than viewers could ever imagine. One of the main reasons Fear Factor was canceled was due to the fact that it was on in the same time slot as the powerhouse American Idol franchise. With NBC cashing in on the talent search competition type programming with their American Idol themed show The Voice, I believe that they are gearing to take over in the ratings. I cant wait to see what NBC has in store for us. Can you? I will be updating this post with episode summaries and the names of winning contestants. Feel free to follow and subscribe letting the Artist Review community know how you feel. Wether you loved the show or hated it. Wether you are excited about the show's return or could care less, I want to know

Lady Gaga Set To Take Over In 2012

If you arent a fan of Lady Gagas music, you still have to respect her hustle. It seems that Forbes has named her number 1 on their list of the top 100 celebrities. That is quite an impressive feat, especially due to the fact that there are many high profile figures that are all well established. Lady Gaga torpedoed into the music scene in 2008 with her hit debut single 'Just Dance' and has been steadily gaining momentum ever since. In my personal opinion she is a very business saavy individual with very covert and clever tactics for drawing attention to herself. Wether it be an outrageous wardrobe or a proclamation of posessing the male reproductive organ, There is definiteley a method to Gaga's madness and all I can say is kudos. L
