For the first time in a long time I actually went to a theater to watch a movie (I usually rent). I watched Whiteout the past week. I know, I know…I’m a movie geek, I’ve done my research, of course I knew it wasn’t really a good movie coming into it. And believe it or not my other choice was District 9. But District 9 was down to one theater and one timing, by the time the movie ends it would be close to midnight. The theater it was showing at was also quite a distance from my home and seeing that I had work the next day, I picked Whiteout which was showing at a closer theater. Don’t get me wrong though, I was still looking forward Whiteout. It is based on a graphic novel I had read and rather like, so I’m always interested how the adaptation would turn out. I was also in the mood for some action thrillers with cool action sequences and great sound effect, some of the stuff I had missed not seeing movies in the theaters.

Lady GaGa solo tour
“Still leaving on solo TOUR this nov,” the Poker Face singer, who will play a series of North American dates in November, wrote on her Twitter account. “Announcing next week.”
GaGa told Billboard magazine that the decision to cancel the Fame Kills tour was mutual. “Kanye’s going to take some time off.,” she said. “But the good news is that I’m going on tour in a few weeks.”
Recent reports have claimed the duo canceled the much-hyped tour because ticket sales “sucked” and there was lots of bickering behind the scenes.
The tour — which was to run from November 10, 2009 until January 24, 2010 — was canned Thursday by concert promoters Live Nation.
No official reason was given, but the company said refunds are available at the point of purchase. Tickets purchased online and via phone will be refunded automatically, Live Nation said.
