Planet 51 with The Rock (Dwayne Johnson)

The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson) take part in another family comedy. This time it’s for the animated feature “Planet 51”. He plays Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker. Here’s a synopsis of the film:

Planet 51 is a galactic sized animated alien adventure comedy revolving around American astronaut Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker, who lands on Planet 51 thinking he’s the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders…like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion “Rover” and his new friend Lem, Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.

Earlier this year, The Rock was in The Race to Witch Mountain.

Tim Lincecum gets second Cy Yound Award



After winning the Cy Young ward last year, Tim Lincecum wins a second Cy Yound Award this year. He became the only pitcher to capture the Cy Young Award his first two full Major League seasons. He also saw improvements over last season too. His ERA went from 2.62 to 2.48. His opponents hit only .206 off him this season, compared to .221 least year. And walked less people (68 walks in 225 1/3 innings in 2009 versus 84 walks in 227 innings in 2008). Wonder if he gets a repeat on the cover of MLB 2K10.
