This afternoon - the pop star was taken by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles suffering from cardiac arrest. Jackson was not breathing when he was taken from a home he is renting in the Holmby Hills area to the hospital.
I'm just sad. Another one of my childhood pop icons passed away
You'll be missed Michael!

Saw a screening of "Public Enemies" last night at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. So what do I think of the film?
It's good not great! And I want it to be great! It's Depp! It's Bale! It's Michael Mann! But Marion Cotillard stole the show!
I will post my full review very soon, but if you can't wait, you can twitter me at http://twitter.com/mannymovies or email me at manny@mannythemovieguy.com.

After a long battle with cancer, Farrah Fawcett died at the age of 62. Another one of my pop culture icons has passed away
Although the actress never excelled in the movie industry, she was certainly a major TV star! She was my favorite angel in "Charlie's Angels" next to Kate Jackson's Sabrina! And she had shown some acting depth in various TV movies such as "The Burning Bed."
And yes, I had her famous poster on my wall!

Here's a special look back at the life and times of Farrah Fawcett. Good bye Miss Farrah, and our heartfelt condolences to Ryan O'Neal and the rest of Fawcett's family

"Watchmen" Fans Rejoice! The Much-Talked About Director's Cut to be Shown in Theaters! But There's a Catch! 
Save the date! You'll be able to see Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" director's cut on July 17!
But here's the catch:
It's for one-week theatrical release only, and will just be shown in four venues namely Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and New York.
So if you're not from those cities, you're out of luck!
What's so great about the director's cut of "Watchmen?" Well, Snyder's cut has 25 ADDITIONAL MINUTES! I'm intrigued! Perhaps, this version will be a better cut than its original theatrical release.
