All of these great songs and Michael Jacksonwas the 1980′s. Even though MJ would tarnish his career later on, he was the man in the 80′s and his musical videos are legendary. There was no one in the 1980′s music era producing better videos than Michael Jackson. Even today, his music videos stand above any other musical artists or bands. There use to be a time when MTV played nothing but music videos. Those days are long gone now and I’m not even sure MTV plays videos anymore. I don’t think we will ever see a generation like the 1980′s again in music.

Did you like any of the songs I like from the 80′s? Which were some of your favorite songs from the greatest decade of music ever? Please help me to remember some of the songs from the 1980s musical generation. I know I probably left off some good songs, so I want to be sure I get them listed too!

Some artists or bands had more than 1 great song. I only put a song for each artist, so didn’t include all of the great songs they did. Like Duran Duran for instance, they had The Reflex and Hungry Like the Wolf. Both were great 1980′s songs, but I felt The Reflex was my favorite song by them. Pink Floyd had Another Brick in the Wall and Comfortably Numb. I actually like Comfortably Numb better, but felt like Another Brick in the Wall was a more popular song. A band like Guns N’ Roses had a ton of hits in the 80′s, so they would hog up a lot of space, if I named all of their great songs. So try to find a artist or band in which I didn’t name at least one song from them. I know I am missing some really great songs, since there was so many great songs from the 1980′s.

As predicted by yours truly, the new movie from Jim Carey called The Christmas Carol took away top honors at the box office this past weekend. It was a good sign for this new movie as there was some other movies that made debuts on Friday and it wasn’t easy to get number 1 this past weekend. There is a lot of good movies playing in theaters right now, but none of them could catch the new 3D Scrooge movie that started November 6th in theaters across the nation.

 

Number 2 on the box office list was Michael Jackson’s new movie This Is It. His fans continue to buy tickets for his latest work on the big screen and just about anything Michael Jackson is always popular. It is surprising to see Michael Jackson at number 2 with the Fourth Kind making it’s debut in theaters this past weekend. I expected the Fourth Kind to be higher on the box office results, but there was actually 3 movies that did better than it. The Fourth Kind is a true story movie about alien abduction and another true story movie about goatswas the 3rd place finisher at the boxoffices. The Men Who Stare at Goats was inspired by actual events and it’s the number 3 movie in America right now. It should be interesting to see how round 2 does for these two true story movies. 

 

Top 10 Box Office Movies for November 6th Weekend

1. The Christmas Carol

2. This Is It

3. The Men Who Stare at Goats

4. The Fourth Kind

5. Paranormal Activity

6. The Box

7. Couples Retreat

8. Law Abiding Citizen

9. Where the Wild Things Are

10. Astro Boy

 

Does any movies look good on this list to you? I would like to see most of these movies. I would really love a chance to see the new Jim Carey movie in theaters; since it is done in 3-D technology. A Scrooge Movie in 3D sounds like a good one to see and I’m sure it does great justice for the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and the ghost of Christmas Future. This would be my first choice, if I got a chance to go see 1 movie at the theaters right now. My main reason for this decision is because the movie is done in 3-D and I love this type of technology with movies. Paranormal Activity and the 4th Kind are high on my movies to watch list too.

Today will be the start of a big two week event for the fans of Michael Jackson. His new movie called This Is It will be playing in theaters across the country for the next two weeks. I’m not sure exactly how this new Michael Jackson movie will go, but it appears to be mostly of footage that was taken at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Jackson was doing rehearsals in L.A.; while he was preparing to go on tour in Europe for his last concert tour called This Is It. I’m sure many Michael Jackson fans will be showing up at theaters to catch the first showing of Michael Jackson’s new movie called This Is It.

The new Jackson movie will be shown in theaters tonight (October 28th) and will run for the next two weeks. Going by this current time frame, I would guess that on November 11th, 2009; this would be your last chance to see the new Michael Jackson movie in theaters. It is a bit unusual to start a new movie in the middle of the week, but this should help theaters to have enough room this weekend, as the rest of the Michael Jackson fans line up to see his new movie. The end date also falls in the middle of the week and November 11th will be on a Wednesday, but this would be two weeks from today. If the schedule calls for 2 weeks or 14 days only; then Tuesday November 10th might be the last time you can see the new Michael Jackson tribute. If you really want to see this movie, you may want to make plans between now and November 10th, so you don’t miss it!

Michael, Michael, Michael is all it seems we are hearing these days in the news. A lot of Michaels making headlines and are any of them news worthy? We have heard from A-Z about the news of Michael Jackson’s death and that is one story that isn’t going away anytime soon. In Philadelphia we are hearing about the Eagles newest QB Micheal Vick and his return to the NFL. Between Michael Jackson and Michael Vick is there really any room left for another Michael in the news?

 

Well the latest “Michael” story is coming from Hollywood and it’s Michael Moore’s new movie Capitalism: A Love Story. This new movie from the controversial Moore came out on September 23rd and I still haven’t heard much about it. I did notice that this movie is still hanging on in the top 10 movies at the box office and that surprised me. This past week, Michael Moore’s new movie got 8th place at the box office. No matter if you like him or hate him, his movies do tend to get us talking and I hope his new movie continues down that road. I have actually thought a couple of his movies were pretty good and I usually do sit down and watch them when they are released for viewing on the movie channels I get on satellite TV.

 

It seems most people don’t like his movies because they have inaccurate information and feel he is choosing one side of the political party. I actually just see him taking shots at the American Government and really don’t see him drawing party lines. I don’t know what his political choice is when choosing between Democrats and Republicans, but we do need voices in America standing up for what they believe in. He may not always go about it in the best ways, but at least he is out there sharing his ideas and opinions and that is more than most of us do. I get angry and upset at certain things, but have no idea who to talk to or complain about my disputes with the Government. It seems the latest news on health care has got people speaking up at public forums in their local cities and hometowns and I think this could be another Michael Moore movie in the future. I have seen Sicko and know Moore gave his fans something there but this latest news on health care is really stirring folks up.

 

If you have seen the new Michael Moore movie and would like to comment; then please do. I would like to hear some opinions on the Capitalism: Love Story movie that Michael Moore has just created and see how his latest work stacks up with previous Michael Moore films. It should be interesting to see which Michael makes headlines next. I wouldn’t be shocked if we find out that David Letterman’s real name is Michael and the Letterman scandal makes it’s way into the Michael Jackson, Michael Vick, and Michael Moore headlines too.
