Celluloid Film Review: Catwoman

Title: Catwoman

Year Of Release: 2004

Review Date: December 31, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 106 minutes

Box Office Gross: $82,102,379

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

"Catwoman" starring Halle Berry and Sharon Stone was not the actresses' best work and it is due to the poor script, corny lines, bad directing and overall cheesy concept that did not live up to the comic. Warner Bros did a very poor job bringing this film to life, which led to critics everywhere pouncing on it.

Halle Berry stars as the lead Patience Phillips, a graphic artist who is shot and killed, then brought back to life by a cat. Hence the title "Catwoman." However, this film takes a detour into the occult and becomes, for lack of a better word, crazy. The lead character is into witchcraft and is possessed by a cat. Not the best message in the world.

The story line is weak, when it could have been so much better. The director failed this movie as well. He gave the actors bad direction. Not to mention, the lines are unusually catty and cliche:

Laurel Hedare: What do you want
Patience Phillisp: Your husband, is he home
Laurel Hedare: I’m here, why on earth would he be home...

Kim Kardashian Paid $600,000 For New Years Appearance

But Was It Worth It? No!

Continuing to prove why she is so immensely overrated, reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, was reportedly paid $600,000 for a New Years appearance at a Las Vegas, Nevada night club. There are so many better things that could have been done with that money, but such is the world we currently live in that this is considered a valid business expenditure.

Obama Slammed Again Over Stimulus As $500,000,000 Went To Building Cars In Foreign Nation (Video)

U.S. President Barack Obama is in more trouble, due to stimulus funds he issued that did not benefit America. It has been revealed, Obama gave a new company called Fisker $529,000,000 in taxpayer funds, via the failed stimulus, for the unit to build electric cars in Finland, rather than America. This resulted in U.S. taxpayer funds creating jobs abroad, rather than in America.

Barack Obama

Add this to the billions more in stimulus funds that did not stimulate the U.S. economy, such as Obama personally giving solar company Solyndra $500,000,000 in U.S. taxpayer funds, only for the company to go bankrupt shortly after and it becomes evident the president is not good with money or astute at making wise financial investments. America needs a president that understands business and trade and how to generate jobs and revenues.

It's Confirmed: Rochelle Wiseman and Marvin Humes Are Engaged!

Check out Rochelle's heart shaped engagement ring!

It's official! Rochelle Wiseman and Marvin Humes are engaged!

The JLS singer popped the question while holiday with The Saturdays singer in the Caribbean. After the news leaked online Rochelle (22) took to Twitter to confirm the news. She wrote: "Its official Marvin proposed 2me 2day,wanted 2 tell u b4 some1 else did! SO excited 2 b Mrs Humes. x"


Marvin also confirmed the engagement writing on his page: "Happy New Year everyone!!! So everyone hears it from me... Rochelle and I are engaged!! Party time tonight! Have a great one..All love..Marv. x"


Adding: "We are the happiest 2 people in the world. A perfect start to 2012.This year is gonna be massive. Luv ya! Mx"

The couple started dating in early 2010 but split up in November of last year blaming work commitments for the split. Only weeks before Marvin had said she was definitely "the one". Just two months later the pair were back together and seemed happier than ever.

It seems like a very quick engagement to me, do you think it will last?

Tax Group Slams Kim Kardashian For Not Paying Enough Taxes But Is Obama Listening

...Because They Are Right

Barack Obama

It seems everybody hates Kim Kardashian, a pun on the title of the show "Everybody Hates Chris." The Courage Campaign, complaining of the shortfalls in California's coffers, has slammed Kardashian for paying a 10.3% tax rate on $12,000,000 in income for the year 2010.

Kardashian made even more money this year with her sham of a wedding to Kris Humphries, which was done solely for a paycheck and more fame, but it all backfired, resulting in bad publicity and bridal registry gifts she refused to return. However, she still received a reported $20,000,000 from the fake wedding, which she will pay very little taxes on.

The Judiciary Report does agree that the rich in America should not pay so little taxes, especially in the current negative financial environment, as it is holding back the economy. Some of the most wealthy people in America did the nation the most damage, resulting in the ongoing, horrible financial crisis.

Kim Kardashian

I was born in Jamaica, lived there the first 8-years of my life, always kept in contact with my roots in the Caribbean, some of which stems from the British system and when there is an issue of economic imbalance and financial discord, the commonwealth employed a small tax hike, mainly on the rich, which went a long way in remedying the monetary problems of said nations.

Even former U.S. President Bill Clinton instituted tax hikes in America in the 1990s to great results. Therefore, I don't understand why some are acting like it is an insane, novel concept that has never worked. President Obama did not embrace higher taxes for the rich immediately upon taking office, as the Judiciary Report has advocated for years and it has cost him and America plenty.

Instead Obama gave the rich more money via stimulus funds, with much of that taxpayer money ending up being wasted, stolen and misappropriated. A significant amount of those funds are sitting in the Caribbean and Europe in hidden accounts. Now Obama is scrambling to save the economy, when new reports this month indicate the jobless numbers have risen again, as have foreclosures with mere months until the next election.

The People's National Party Regains Office In Jamaica

Portia Simpson Miller

After a landslide victory by the People's National Party in the Jamaica general elections yesterday, former Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller is again in office. Congrats to Miller and the PNP, which is the political party my family supports.

Andrew Holness

Last week I watched an interview featuring Andrew Holness, the Prime Minister that ran against Miller in the election and though he did not win, he could still serve Jamaica from his party in working with the opposition, as he is a very intelligent man. Jamaica has made a lot of progress over the past 20-years that I have seen with my own eyes, but the nation still has a lot of potential that can be reached.

The Kardashians Former Nanny Is Shopping A Scandalous Tell All Book

Uh Oh!

Kim Kardhasian

Pam Behan, the nanny that raised the Kardashian-Jenner kids, is doing a tell all book and it is said to spill family secrets on the reality series clan, who are experiencing a massive wave of unpopularity in America and the world. This book could get ugly, as the antics some of the Kardashians have gotten up to is not pretty. Kim has always been rebellious. Years ago she ran away to marry music producer, Damon Thomas, with the couple eloping, only for the marriage to end in disaster, when he allegedly turned out to be an abusive woman beater.

Kardashians

Behan is already claiming Bruce Jenner's kids were, "Extremely spoiled and disrespectful." Who knows what else she will spill in this book, but it will not help the family's already battered name, thanks to Kim's second marriage to Kris Humphries that went belly up in 2-months. Strangely, the family did not require Behan to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Madonna Is Putting Out A Perfume And You Know What It Probably Smells Like...

Mad-onna (after all that plastic surgery and botox she still looks older than her age)

According to a pop culture news post on another site, pop tart Madonna has a perfume coming out (LOL). Really, who in their right mind would want to smell like Madonna. She goes around looking sweaty, unfeminine, unkempt and odorous all the time. They should have named the perfume Funk or Funky.

Photo and caption of Man-donna by Roflrazzi.com

You know what Madonna's so-called perfume probably smells like: steroids, Botox and gym funk. After all, supermodel Janice Dickinson said she stood next to Madonna at a club and the faux singer smelled horrid and totally wreaked to the point she had to move from beside her.

Remember Katy Perry's Heart Warming Grammy Performance?

Just to make things even sadder...

Do you remember when Katy Perry showed some of her wedding images when she performed 'Not Like The Movies' at the Grammys? This is one of my favourite songs and I watched Katy perform this at The O2 in Dublin just last month.

So sad :( Watch the performance from the Grammys here:

Russell Brand Files For Divorce From Katy Perry!!!!

It's All Over!!

I can't say I didn't see this coming but this is so sad.

For months Russell Brand and wife Katy Perry have been fighting off rumors that they have been having relationship problems but today the pair have finally gone their separate ways.

In a statement today Russell (36) admitted that he has filed for divorce from Katy after 14 months of marriage: "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

The Arthur star was spotted in London today without his wedding ring for the second day in a row, which initially sparked rumors that the pair had called it quits. Alarm bells also rang when they both spent the Christmas apart, with Katy spotted in Hawaii and Russell in Cornwall.

His legal team filed court documents in Los Angeles today citing 'irreconcilable differences'. But just four weeks ago when asked by Ellen Degeneres if there were issues Russell had said: "I'm really happily married. I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive."

Russell and Katy married in India, October 2010

And in the midst of all the rumors Katy Tweeted her fans just four weeks ago to assure them that none of the gossip was true. She wrote: "First I'm pregnant & then I'm divorced. What am I All My Children?! #pshh #ifihadadollarforeverytime."

Happier Times: At The Grammys Last Year

Katy also recently spoke of her plans to have children and announced that she was taking a year out from the 
The couple married in India last October after a whirlwind romance. There was concern over Russell's past, after he spent years battling drug and sex addiction.

Before dating British actor Russell, Katy was engaged to Gym Class Heroes singer Travis McCoy, the new blonde apparently ended their relationship because of his drug habit.
