Happy birthday, Milo Ventimiglia!

Milo Ventimiglia is turning 31 today, July 8, 2008.

Milo_Wizard-World-Pathology

Born as Milo Anthony Ventimiglia in Anaheim California, the Heroes hunk is fast becoming one of Hollywood’s most talented actor. He is now known for his role in Heroes as Peter Petrelli but really gained attention when he joined Gilmore Girls as the quiet and complicated Jess. His other recent accomplishments include starring in Pathology, directing and producing webisodes through his company Divide Pictures, producing the graphic novel “Rest“.

Milo_Wizard-World-Pathology-04 Want to know more? Here are some interesting trivia about Milo Ventimiglia:

  • Vegetarian since childhood
  • When he was seven, his sisters used to dress him up like Madonna
  • He is of Sicilian Italian descent on his father’s side and a combination of Irish, English, Scottish, French, Cherokee and Blackfoot descent on his mother’s.
  • Trademark crooked smile made him believable as Sylvester Stallone’s son in “Rocky Balboa
  • Is best friends with ‘Heroes’ co-star Adrian Pasdar
  • Milo and ‘Heroes’ co-star Adrian Pasdar auditioned for roles in the proposed Gilmore Girls spinoff where Milo was to be the son of Pasdar’s character. As there are only 12 years difference between them, the casting director said they would be better off playing brothers. Eight years later, they Milo_Wizard-World-Pathology-02were playing brothers Peter (Milo) and Nathan (Pasdar) Petrelli in ‘Heroes’.

Do you know something else of Milo that I (or IMDB) don’t know about? Share it in the comment, or just greet him a lovely happy birthday greeting!

The Dark Knight preview 2 - "He can be the outcast"

The Dark Knight (sequel to Batman Begins) - movie
In theaters and IMAX: July 18, 2008
Genre: action/drama/superhero(PG-13)

If Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) was having trouble reconciling how far Batman must to go to clean Gotham up of its criminals, not so Alfred (Michael Caine). The butler has always believed that Bruce, as Batman, is doing the right thing. Batman can be the outcast, he can make the right choice that no one else can make.

The Dark Knight preview: "Batman has no limits"

The Dark Knight (sequel to Batman Begins) - movie
In theaters and IMAX: July 18, 2008
Genre: action/drama/superhero(PG-13)

Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) tells Alfred (Michael Caine) that Batman can’t show any weakness. But in fact he does, and the wise butler clearly sees this. “There are real issues here,” Michael Caine characterizes, “and Alfred often has a go at him about this.”

Caine thinks that Alfred and Bruce’s relationship is the most humorous of all in the movie. Michael Caine IS great at timing comedy, and he know exactly what to do to get a line the most laughs.

  • Premiere episode titled “Odyssey” will be all about searching for a missing Clark Kent.
  • Green Arrow/Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley) is leading the rescue… and Hartley is a mainstay for 12 episodes.

Despite the departure of Smallville creators/executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar, the remaining producers of the show says that they’re staying true to the vision laid out by Miles and Gough. “Luckily [Al and Miles’] voices are still talking to us in our heads as we’re breaking stories,” producer Kelly Souders said. “Their visions come to us all the time, so I think they did a great job of preparing us for this day.”

Smallville season 8 will come back in September on its regular Thursday 8pm schedule at the CW.

Heroes season 3 spoilers: Heroes and villains in cahoots

Several spoilers hint of intriguing plot twists for Heroes 3rd season “Villain”, which is nothing new for a show where nothing is what it seems… Like the ones below:

Sylar is going to start working with H.R.G. - E! Online

Matt is going to end up in the desert with a … tortoise (for real!) -  E! Online

We’ll see more bad guys in volume 3. But Tim Kring adds that every character in the series will also face the dilemma of having to make “decisions that lead us down very dark paths or towards heroic ends.”

Heroes at Comic Con update

The rumor going around last week was Heroes is going to show the full premiere at the San Diego Comic Con in July…

True or not?

E! Online’s Kristin says -”I’m told there will just be a Heroes sneak peek, not the full premiere.”

Makes sense. As much as we’re all soo starving for Heroes now,why would Tim Kring spoil an entire hour of premiere a few months ahead?! But I’ll take a sneak peek any day.

Heroes season 3: Ali Larter returns

Ali-Larter-nc There is a big possibility that Niki Sanders may have escaped the New Orleans warehouse explosion when she tried to save her niece Monica, in the final hours of Heroes season 2.

However, Niki Sanders may never re-surface again. Instead another personality may have taken over her.

At least that’s the sense I got from this latest news on the return of Ali Larter for Heroes season 3. Ali will be returning as an whole new personality we haven’t encountered yet: Tracy Strauss. And like the actress who plays her, Tracy will be hot, blond and “look like that chick who once wore a whipped-cream bikini for Dawson Leery”.

Take the poll -

Will Ali Larter be a "hero" or a "villain" for season 3?

"The Dark Knight" character profiles and promo images - the good guys

The Dark Knight (sequel to Batman Begins) - movie
In theaters and IMAX: July 18, 2008
Genre: action/drama/superhero(PG-13)

With “Batman Begins“, writer/director Christopher Nolan explored how Bruce Wayne became the legendary hero known to the world as Batman. When Nolan returned with “The Dark Knight“, Batman has now defined Bruce Wayne’s true identity.

The Dark Knight

Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) begins to realize that he has unleashed a symbol, this Batman, and that symbol can’t have limits. He can’t show weakness. So there is now a conflict between what’s good for Bruce and what’s right for Batman to do, and “the two of them are not always compatible,” remarks Bale.

The Dark Knight 

The dark knight has taken over the billionaire’s life, and it is something he can not escape from, anymore.
