Besides “Big Love”, his show on HBO, Bill Paxton has been out of the major movie scene for a few years. There have been rumors of a Twister remake but who know’s if Paxton will have any part in that. His most memorable characters have been the sneering, sleazy and loud-mouthed kind like “Chet” from Weird Science and the car salesman “Simon” from True Lies. Since those early career roles Paxton has moved to more serious stuff like Apollo 13 (1995) and now Big Love. Long story short I think the world is waiting for the next good Paxton movie, he’s an actor everyone seems to love. In doing some re-search on Paxton, I discovered there is actually a pretty large underground following for his character “Hudson” from Aliens, in which Paxton won The Saturn Award for best supporting actor. No idea what the Saturn Award is though. Here’s to Paxton, the greatest B actor, who gets all the recognition from his fans, but never anything formal. The Aliens montage below is long but watching the progression of his character from a smart ass funny man to a freaked out nervous break down is pretty hilarious and showcases how good of an actor Paxton is. The True Lies clip is just classic comedic Paxton.

If movies would just tell the truth it would be a lot easier to pick a movie to watch. Sometimes titles can be misleading and when you think your about to watch an action packed thriller, you end up watching a bunch of women complain about their sex lives for 2 hours. Here are 10 movies that should have told the truth in their titles to make life easier for everyone.

Boardwalk Empire is an upcoming American television series from HBO, set in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition era. The show is adapted from Nelson Johnson’s book, Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City by Emmy award-winning screenwriter and producer Terence Winter of The Sopranos. The pilot episode was directed by Martin Scorsese and he is expected to continue to be creatively involved in the ongoing production. HBO has stated that the series will debut in the fall of 2010.

So I have no clue if this is going to be a real movie or it is just a really awesome fan made teaser but it would be freakin sweet if it happens. The other day a 7 minute teaser was released giving a glimpse of a new Mortal Kombat movie. In the teaser Reptile, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Baraka, and Shang Tsung are included. Some people have said it is a teaser for a new video game, others say it’s for a new movie, but I checked on imdb.com and there is no word whatsoever about it, so im leaning towards it is a teaser for a new video game. Either way it is pretty bad ass.

UPDATE: the short was made by director Keven Tancharoen to get studios interested in the idea — well, his idea — of a new Mortal Kombat movie. So pretty much it’s a big sales pitch. Your move Hollywood.

And if that wasn’t enough for you the Hover Board is now a REAL THING. Yea you heard us the hoover board has been recreated with magnets, so it probably can’t support an actual human being but it’s a step in the right direction. (video below)

After seeing the photos of 50 Cent’s transformation yesterday we wanted to look further into actors who transform themselves to play a part. Every actor’s challenge is to play a role in a movie based on a true story. Playing a real character requires lot of preparations and talent. Having such a demanding role sometimes requires changing the actor’s physical appearance. Here is a list of the 10 actors that did the best interpretations of their characters. Take a look at them :

10. Philip Seymour Hoffman played the role as famous author Truman Capote in the 2005 biographical movie “Capote”. He won several awards, including Best Actor on Academy Awards.

9. In the 1998 famous sport movie “Without Limits”, Billy Crudup played the running star Steve Prefontaine. The role was planned for Tom Cruise in the first place, but he decided that he was to old for the part.

We here at Zoot usually don’t like posting about celebs because really who the hell cares, but when I saw these pictures of 50 Cent I was in shock. 50 Cent lost a lot of weight for his upcoming movie “Things Fall Apart”. In the movie 50 Cent plays a football player diagnosed with cancer. He dropped from 214 pounds to an astonishing 160 with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for nine weeks. “I was starving.” Now he’s back on tour and says, “I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!” It is pretty awesome so see a rapper as big as 50 Cent still care about his progression in the movie industry, congrats I guess 50. Thanks to my lovely gf for sending this info in.
