The Ultimate 2007 Movie Halloween Costume List

Halloween is coming up this year and many of you may be having difficulty coming up with ideas for Halloween costumes. Sure, you can wear the same thing that you had on last year, but who really wants to do that? I have taken some time to complie a list of fun movie related Halloween costumes. Some can be worn by teenagers and adults while other Halloween movie costume ideas may be more approrpiate for the older crowd. No matter how old you are, a great movie Halloween costume may be right for you this year. Here they are:

Eminem 8 Mile Costume
This is one of the easiest and cheapest movie Halloween costume ideas.

Angelina Jolie Costume part one and two
Both of these articles should be used in conjunction with each other. You can learn how to strut around town as one of the major Hollywood actresses of the moment. The first article provides the basic items needed while the second one helpf you to stand out as Angelina Jolie.

Legally Blonde Costume
If you want to still look attractive, this is a great movie Halloween Costume idea. Not many women can pull off the Reese Witherspoon look, but this is worth a try.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider Costume
Talk about hip! This movie Halloween costume represents one of the most popular characters in the gaming industry. Angeline Jolie brought her to life in a few big budget box office darlings and now Lara Croft has fans all around the world. This movie Halloween costume combines sex appeal with lots of strength. It screams "Girl Power"!

Cheap Movie Halloween Costumes for Adults
This page contains multiple movie Halloween costume ideas. It will be helpful to men who want to learn how to create a Men In Black costume. However, many women may find the tips for The Ring and "Roxie" from the Chicago movie very helpful in creating a movie Halloween costume.

These ideas should be enough to get you started on your Halloween movie costume plans. While I have not found much information on it, the Charlie's Angel's movie is another great idea that could be fun if planned well. In fact, this would be a good idea for women who are going to a Halloween party with a few girlfriends. With this particular movie Halloween costume idea, three is not a crowd.....it's just right!

Why I liked the Movie 13 going on 30 with Jennifer Garner


Despite the cheese factor, 13 going on 30 allowed someone to do what is currently impossible. That is, giving someone a preview of their life before it happens. I did not have interest in watching this movie. However, CSI was not on and Jennifer Garner is a favorite, so 13 going on 30 is where I landed. In the movie, the girl gets to go back and make her life the way that she wants it. In reality, we do not get a preview of our lives. Surely, that would be something good, as it could prevent people from making a lot of mistakes that could have taken their lives in different directions.

Adults can only look back on their life and try to make changes for the present and the future. In the movie 13 going on 30, Jennifer Garner had a chance to go back in time and make changes at the point where everything went in a path that she would end up regretting in the future. If you are following this, it shouldn’t be too confusing. If it sounds confusing and you have not seen the movie, go rent it. We live in the real world, where we cannot go back and make changes to our lives in hopes for the outcome that we desire.

If only it were that easy, I would sit next to a doll house and chant repeatedly until I flash forward to age 40. That would definitely help me out a lot, as my decisions that are made today would be much easier.

Have you seen the movie 13 going on 30? If so, leave your thoughts about it , Jennifer Garner and going back in time below in the comments section.

John Singleton involved in Car Accident...jaywalker killed

Yahoo news recently reported that film director John Singleton drove the vehicle that killed a jaywalker in California. The woman has been identified as 57 year-old Constance Russell. She was pronounced dead yesterday morning. The accident happened on thursday night when the woman stepped in front of John Singleton's SUV. A police spokesperson stated that John Singleton identified himself and was not under the influence of drusg or alcohol. The director was questioned and released. John Singleton has produced popular films of late, including "Hustle & Flow" starring Terrance Howard, "Black Snake Moan" with Samuel Jackson and Justin Timberlake and the upcoming film "Illegal Tender".

I am not too familiar with Illegal Tender, but have checked out some recent press clips that covered the film. The aftermath of fatal car accidents have not gone well for celebrities (R&B singer Brandy is going through a lot of legal trouble and drama as a result of her accident on the road). Hopefully, this does not affect John Singleton's career much, because he makes good movies. While it is NEVER a good choice to hit anyone on the road, we have traffic lights for a reason. Excuse me for possibly sounding rude here, but why is anyone walking in front of a moving vehicle. From the news report, John Singleton was driving an SUV.

That is a large automobile. Many of us probably have crossed streets and roads despite a clear red light or stop sign. However, this accident is one reason why that kind of behavior should stop. The same goes for drivers too because I have witnessed some very impatient and rude drivers on the roads who ignore traffic signs just as well. This needs to stop. How many people are going to have to die or get in trouble with the law for citizens to stop being careless?

Rather than go on about what should or shouldn't be considered appropriate road behavior, I am curious to know what you all think about this situation. Do you jaywalk? Are you a driver who "occasionally" ignored traffic signs? Are you going to see Illegal Tender? Are you a fan of John Singelton? If any of the abive applies, post your comments below.
