Movie Date – Part 1

Monday, May 4th, 2009

- So much for the Internet leak causing viewers to stay away: Wolverine dominates box office (but can it beat Star Trek this coming weekend???)

- Why do the MTV Movie Awards always seem so dated? For example, nominees were announced today and they include The Dark Knight  and Iron Man. I know they came out last summer but that was sooooo long ago

- Speaking of Iron Man, USA Today has a first look at the sequel (which is two say, one photo that reveals multiple Iron Man suits…)

- Spike can’t seem to stay away from the game he loves: Lee to document Kobe Bryant on a game day

Extra Slice – Video: As long as we’re on a movie kick this morning, enjoy the new trailer for the G.I. Joe movie. YO JOE!

Oy Vey – Part 1

Friday, May 1st, 2009

- How great was that Celtics\Bulls game last night? Three overtimes?! Four overtime games in the series thus far?! Who isn’t excited for game 7 Saturday night?!?!

- With less than six weeks to the release of the film, Paramount finally releases the trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 

- How’s your NFL team going to do this year? Apparently this website thinks my Dolphins will win less than 8!

Summer Movies Cometh – Part 1

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

- I was lucky enough to catch an advance screening of Star Trek this past Monday and I have to say that it’s one of the better ones in the series. Variety has a review of the movie (some spoilers) that I agree with: “While respectfully handling the Roddenberry DNA, Abrams… [has] successfully transferred [Star Trek] to a trim new body that hums with youthful energy.”

- First look at Wolverine taking on Sabertooth in the first X-Men: Origins film (and what’s with Wolverine’s claws???)

- The Detroit Lions release their new logo and team uniform (see the difference? No, then check out their old logo)

- As the NBA playoffs continue, enjoy the real challenge: The matchups for the best dancers of the playoffs

New Look – Part 1

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

- Next week, the Lions, Jaguars and 49ers are expected to unveil new uniforms and logos. Keep checking An Orange Peel for updates

- April is National Grilled Cheese Month: I haven’t had a craving for a grilled cheese sandwich since I was 12, yet the other day I saw one and wanted it. Of course it’s Passover, so I’ll have to wait a few days

- The Washington Post held it’s third annual Peeps Show contest and for the third year-in-a-row I forgot to enter (damn you brain!)

- “It got so bad for the Yankees that first baseman Nick Swisher pitched a scoreless eighth inning, the first New York position player to take the mound since Wade Boggs used his knuckleball in 1997” (Ed note: A scoreless inning? Maybe Swisher should be the starting pitcher)

Extra Slice – Video: As if you needed one, here is a reminder: The 2010 NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest is going to be siiiiicccckkkkk….

Tops – Part 2

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

- Simpsons’ stamps revealed and their the old stamps (I can’t believe they didn’t even let us vote, a la old Elvis vs. fat Elvis)

- Check out the cast of NYC Prep, Bravo’s real-life Gossip Girl knockoff (personally, I like the fake cast better, probably because they’re played by 23-year-olds – Happy Birthday, Leighton Meester!)

- Kayne West joins the ever expanding energy-drink business. Does Kanye really need MORE energy?

- I can’t tell what I’m more excited about: These photo’s of Jason Kidd’s wife naked (NWA) or this site NS4W.org (Dot Org?)

Extra Slice – Video: Today’s Internet is buzzing with Billy Bob’s completely-out-of-it interview with a Canadian radio station (it weird throughout but it gets good at about 6:51)
