Sultry "Catwoman" Eartha Kitt Passes

Eartha Kitt, emmy award winning actress, singer, and movie star has passed away from colon cancer at the age of 81. Eartha was well know for her success in all aspects of entertainment. Eartha not only excelled at movies and theatre but she was also a published author. Eartha was probably best known for her portrayal as the sexy "Catwoman" in the Batman television series in the late 60's. Of course she was known from that series for her sexy "kitten purr". Eartha Kitt was a true diva and star! Read more here.

"Benjamin Button" or "Valkyrie"(Decisions Decisions!)

Ladies and Gentlemen! Mice and Men! Pickleheads and...well ok you know what I mean. Today, you have a treat in store. For all the moviegoers out there that is. Two of your favorite(I think people still like Tom Cruise) box office stars are back with a boom!

First up, is the always cool flyboy Brad Pitt in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". An interesting tale of a man who ages in reverse. A cute and interesting take on the trials of one's life. Should be an interesting movie based on the 1921 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Next up is your favorite couch jumper and mine, Tom Cruise. Like Michael Jackson, I am still a huge Tom Cruise fan regardless of how nutty he has gotten over the years. "Valkyrie" is a film that surrounds a plot to assasinate Adolf Hitler. While this genre has been done before, it will be interesting to see ole' Tommy boy's attempt to redefine the concept.

Ok folks, let me know what your thoughts are of these movies...after you are done playing with your new toys that your santa has gotten for you.
