Tim Burton’s new movie Alice in Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, will premiere on Friday, March 5th. Not a remake, but a “sort-of” sequel, as Alice is now 19-years-old and accidentally returns to Wonderland. The movie also features Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Tim Burton says that he neither sees this movie as a re-imagining or a sequel, merely a story based off of the universe created by Lewis Carroll from his books Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the looking glass and what Alice found there.

As for the movie itself, I am really excited, I have always been a fan of Tim Burton movies, and have high hopes for this one as well.

Now I am a fan of World of Warcraft, I play a lot, probably more than I should, but I have never gotten violent over it. A 27-year-old Florida man did feel like he should get violent over this game though.

James Swan was playing World of Warcraft around 10 p.m. in Manatee County, Florida last night. He was playing the video game in a room shared by several small children. Swan was being very loud in the room and was also intoxicated while he was playing.

When Swan’s mother asked him to stop playing the video game several times Swan threw her onto the bed and began to strangle her. She escape and ran to the kitchen where she tried to call the police from the phone, Swan ripped the phone off of the wall.

Swan’s grandfather, who also lived in the house, attempted to stop the altercation with a handgun. There was a struggle for the handgun and Swan was shot in the head (he lived though). Medical personnel found the entry wound, but no exit wound.

So for all of you WoW Nerds out there (like me), be nice to your mom, even if you are in the middle of a raid.

The final season of ABC’s Lost debuted on Tuesday and boy was it a dandy. The show started with flashbacks, the view of people’s lives on the island before they crash landed. Then they moved to flash forwards, a view of the people’s lives after they leave they island. So now they have moved to the only reasonable option left. Flash sideways!

SPOILER ALERT!

If you haven’t seen the new episode of Lost, then don’t read this, and if you don’t plan on watching and just would like to know about the craziness, read on!

At the end of season 5 the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 had a chance to reset time, to make it as if they never crashed on the island in the first place, this was by detonating a hydrogen bomb at the location that caused their “plane problem” in the first place. Well, this plan came to fruition and the bomb was detonated, and that is how the fifth season of Lost ended, so what was the result?

Alternate Realities! The show begins with Jack back on the plane just like he was in the very first episode of Lost, except this time, the plane doesn’t crash, and the island is shown to be underwater! Meanwhile, back on the island….. (What? Wait!) Yep! Jack, Kate and the rest of the gang are still stuck on the island via their alternate reality and all believe that the detonation was a failure.

So I won’t go into anymore details then that, because I don’t think your brain could handle it! But make sure you tune into Lost for even more bizarre, crazy and oh so entertaining action!

Tonight is the premier of the sixth and final season of ABC’s Lost. The long awaited final season is being kept pretty hush-hush by ABC. No teasers have been shown at all on the network, with the executives of Lost saying that showing even one scene would ruin the entire season.

This season is supposed to be different than any other season of Lost so far, and I am very excited about seeing what is has to offer. Executive producer Damon Lindelof said that this season will wrap up all of the loose ends that have plagued viewers over the show’s entirety. Such as: The origin of the smoke monster, the four-toed statue and why the Dharma Initiative is still dropping supplies onto the island.

Season six of lost begins tonight at 9 p.m. eastern, 8 p.m. Central!

So this movie, which is visually stunning, has a solid story (although it is just Dances with Wolves in space) and decent acting, is preparing to break almost every box office record held by Titanic. Over the weekend, Avatar broke the overseas box office record. Avatar has brough in $1.288 billion overseas, breaking Titanic’s record of $1.242 billionOddly enough, Titanic was directed by James Cameron, who also directed Avatar.

Avatar has made $552 million domestically, and is only $50 million away from breaking Titanic’s record, Avatar is also very close to breaking the global record, which is also held by Titanic.

Avatar, which was presumed to be a box office slump by critics, has almost garnered $2 billion in revenue. The film also won a 2010 Golden Globe award for Best Motion Picture: Drama. So if you haven’t seen this film yet! Go see it on the big screen! Before it is too late.

Well, the outlook for Conan doesn’t look good. NBC is reportedly offering him a buyout of $35 million. This buyout will restore Jay Leno as the host of the tonight show. This whole deal though, is thoroughly against Conan O’Brien.

He has waited for over 17 years to become the host of The Tonight Show and once he finally has the job, is asked to leave. This is a low blow by NBC, but it isn’t the first time that the network has thrown a low blow. In 1993 David Letterman, who was the host of a show following the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, was denied the job of the Tonight Show following Carson’s retirement and the job was instead given to Jay Leno.

I guess it is like what Conan O’Brien said, “Remember kids, you can do anything in this life that you want, unless Jay Leno wants to do it too.”

To American Idol of course. The season premiere of American Idol this week brought viewers (over 28.9 million of them) the vocal performances of the citizens of the New England area in Boston and the Southeast in Atlanta. American Idol had its usual span of unbelievably horrible/odd performances from some and unbelievably fantastic from others. Guest judge Victoria Beckham joined the cast in New England, being overly nice to every contestant, and Mary J. Blige guest judged in Atlanta, and seemed uninterested in being there.

With this being Simon Cowell’s (or as I like to call him, American Idol) last season, the future of this franchise does not look bright, even though Ellen Degeneres is a stellar talent, and one I enjoy watching, I don’t feel that she brings the particular star power to this show as Simon Cowell does.

While the American Idol news may depress many of you, there is good news on the horizon. The second half of the second season of Fringe begins tomorrow (even though Fox broadcast a very out-of-place unaired episode from season one on Tuesday) and I can’t wait to see Walter back on screen again.
