Hollywood comes up with some really outlandish ideas. Some are truly outlandish (The Blob), some are just plain creepy (Night of the Living Dead) and some are just plain stupid (2012).

1) Terminator


James Cameron wrote and directed this science fiction classic, Terminator. For those who don’t know the story, a cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent from the future on a deadly mission. He has to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), a young woman whose life will have a great significance in years to come. Sarah has only one protector – Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) - also sent from the future. The future of the human race depends on which one finds her first.

2) The Stand


The Stand has to be included simply because it is truly one of the best end of the world movies ever! (And also because it was written by one of the best horror writers ever, Stephen King). The premise?: after a virus escapes from a government research facility, most of mankind is wiped out. Those who are immune from the virus subsequently form into two camps. The first is lead by Mother Abigail and the second by Randall Flagg. Within a few months, it becomes apparent that those who support good will need to confront evil if they are to survive.

3) Wall-E


Humans decide to fly off into space and leave a set of robots to do the cleaning up. Wall-E however, has grown a personality during his time on earth and when he’s not compacting trash into skyscrapers he’s busy trying to figure out what all this junk was used for. With its beautiful imagery, lovely songs and Wall-E’s soulful eyes.

4) Independence Day


The ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth’s skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world’s only hope lies with a determined band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders – before it’s the end of mankind.

5) Planet of the Apes


Thinking they are alone, the surprise comes when life forms appear, not just as mute humans but as apes. Walking, talking apes. The apes see themselves as the original beings on the planet and do anything to keep all humans locked up. Like most good science fiction, Planet of the Apes combines action, adventure, futuristic settings, and allegory into an entertaining whole.

6) 28 Days Later


The plot depicts the breakdown of society following the accidental release of a highly contagious “rage” virus and focuses upon the struggle of four survivors to cope with the end of the life they once knew. Cillian Murphy is awesome as the confused Jim, who wakes from a coma to find everyone (or almost everyone) gone or dead.

7) Children of Men

Humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction due to an infertility defect in the population. Enter Theo Faron (Clive Owen) who attempts to protect the last pregnant woman on Earth and helps to restore faith and a future for mankind. All I have to say is that if I was the last pregnant woman on Earth.

Montana Fishburne, acting in adult films is not just a way to make it famous it's a passion she's had since she was just 16 years old. The budding porn actress, and daughter of actor Laurence Fishburne, says in a new interview that acting in skin flicks.

I lost my virginity and the whole sexual world sparked my interest.I think it was just wanting to explore sexuality, she adds.I know it's such a big world I was just like, wow, well since I like sex ... I wanted to see everything that I would like, every kind of fantasy.

Fishburne had said in the past that releasing a sex tape was a sure-fire ticket to stardom, like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, now she's says all she really wants to do is just act in adult films.Her first foray into the business, produced by mega-purveyors of porn, Vivid Entertainment, sold out of nearly 25,000 copies almost immediately (and is currently back-ordered).

The Matrix actor Laurence Fishburne, this can't be the news he wanted to hear. Not only has it recently been revealed that his daughter was arrested for prostitution in 2009 and has since filmed a porn movie.

There was so much to like in Monday's new production premiere of Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Salzburg Festival that it's difficult to know where to start.

Uncounted stagings have faltered either because they were too conventional — a.k.a. boring — or so desperately wannabe avant garde that they clashed with the original story; a dissolute rake meets his just fate, death and damnation after a life of debauchery, coupled with murder.

We had a major redo Monday but presented through the refreshing prism of director Claus Guth and the result was as if a moth-eaten carpet was taken out.

A constantly changing diorama mounted on a rotating stage with props added or disappearing out of sight of the audience.Some of the unusual objects seen on stage Monday: a full-size car driving through the woods that serves as the venue for a tete-a-tete between the Don and one of his paramours; a rural bus stop, with the same function.

Italian nobleman of the classic opera and his manservant were turned here into two hipsters, into beer and recreational drugs and replete with all the gestures that transmit coolness. Strangely, the libretto fits these dudes despite its age.

Christopher Maltmann was a fabulous Don Giovanni in voice and dramatic expression, upstaged only slightly by Erwin Schrott as the servant Leporello. But they were best together: Leporello, the bass, the straight-man to the Don.

Don's objects of desire added to the musical delights. The mature timbre of Dorothea Roeschmann as Donna Elivra; the fresh sound of Aleksandra Kurzak as Donna Anna, and the bubbly enthusiasm of Anna Prohaska as Zerlina.

Don Ottavio covered for a sick Joseph Kaiser with admirable constancy and growing vocal confidence. And in the pit, Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducted a supreme ensemble that shifted effortlessly from the tight unit underpinning the soloists on stage to the poignant solo woodwind or harp that heralded the start of one of the singer's.

The mood turns sinister even before Donna Anna's father, murdered by the Don, turns up in the gloom to start digging his killer's grave.Then, within minutes, the death cry of a reprobate who chooses the grave instead of redemption.

Oscar-winning actress Patricia Neal actress who won an Academy Award for 1963's "Hud" and then survived several strokes to continue acting, died on Sunday. She was 84.Neal had lung cancer and died surrounded by her family at her home in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard.She faced her final illness as she had all of the many trials she endured: with indomitable grace, good humor and a great deal of her self-described stubbornness," her family said in a statement.

Neal was already an award-winning Broadway actress when she won her Oscar for her role as a housekeeper to the Texas father (Melvyn Douglas) battling his selfish, amoral son (Paul Newman).Less than two years later, she suffered a series of strokes in 1965 at age 39. Her struggle to once again walk and talk is regarded as epic in the annals of stroke rehabilitation.

The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center that helps people recover from strokes and spinal cord and brain injuries is named for her in Knoxville, where she grew up.She never forgot us after she went to Hollywood," said 85-year-old Bud Albers, who graduated with Neal from Knoxville High School in 1943, and still lives in the city.

"She was so courageous," he said of her battling back from her illnesses and losing her 7-year-old daughter to measles in 1962. "She always fought back. She was very much an inspiration.In her 1988 autobiography, "As I Am," she wrote, "Frequently my life has been likened to a Greek tragedy, and the actress in me cannot deny that comparison."

She had the female leads in the 1949 film version of Ayn Rand's novel "The Fountainhead," the classic 1951 science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and Elia Kazan's 1957 drama "A Face in the Crowd."

She made a grand return to the screen after her strokes in 1968, winning an Oscar nomination for her performance in "The Subject Was Roses."

A Christmas Story," a made-for-TV film that served as the pilot for the CBS series "The Waltons." It brought her the first of her three Emmy nominations.In 1953, she married Roald Dahl, the British writer famed for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "James and the Giant Peach" and other tales for children. They had five children. They divorced in 1983 after she learned he was having an affair with her best friend and he died in 1990.

Neal also suffered a nervous breakdown, and had an ill-fated affair with Gary Cooper, who starred with her in "The Fountainhead."I lived this secret life for several years. I was so ashamed," she told The New York Times in 1964.The strokes at first paralyzed her and impaired her speech. After recovering, she limped and had bad vision in one eye. A 1991 biopic about her travails starred Glenda Jackson as Neal.

In 1999, she starred in her first feature film in 10 years in the title role in Robert Altman's "Cookie's Fortune."

Her Broadway credits included "A Roomful of Roses," "The Miracle Worker" (as Helen Keller's mother, Kate) and a revival of Lillian Hellman's drama "The Children's Hour.She made her screen debut in 1949's "John Loves Mary," that also starred Jack Carson and Ronald Reagan.

Her three Emmy nominations were all for roles in notable drama specials: Besides The Homecoming, they were Tail Gunner Joe, a 1977 drama about Sen. Joe McCarthy, and a version of the tragic World War I story "All Quiet on the Western Front.Among Neal's children is Tessa Dahl, who followed in her father's footsteps as a writer. Tessa Dahl's daughter is the model and writer Sophie Dahl.

I don't lie down. ... I'm fightin' all the way,she said in 1999.The statement from Tessa, Theo, Ophelia and Lucy Dahl and others said that the night before her death, Neal told them, "I've had a lovely time."

Lauren Conrad used to be a relatively normal girl with a fabulous life. Now she's friendless, plastic, and almost divorced. My, how life has changed.Heidi Montag has been fairly quiet on Twitter lately, unlike her soon-to-be ex-husband, Spencer Pratt.

The other day, Heidi tweeted, "watching old hills i miss you @AudrinaPatridge and most of all @laurenconrad. It's kind of sad in a way.

After all, when we first met Heidi, she and Lauren were best friends forever.

But we think it's far too late and things can never be the same. Heidi really did go off the deep end and show her true colors.

She certainly can't turn back time on her 10 plastic surgeries.

Neither Lauren Conrad or Audrina Patridge responded to Heidi on Twitter and we doubt they will.

If Heidi wants to live the kind of life she used to live, she needs to make major life changes.
