YouTube Comedy Week is in full swing and Comedy Bang Bang music man Reggie Watts has done something amazing. The comedian has flawlessly recreated Rick Astley‘s iconic song of love and devotion, “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Enjoy: …and here is the original for reference. You’re welcome.
This week’s workout song, “Cotton-Eyed Joe” is dedicated to the gang over at the New Girl as it reminded me that I had the maxi-single of this hit on casette. A “Where are they now?” special is long overdue for the Burning Man/Haight St./steampunk homeless hybrid known as Rednex. Rednex – Cotton Eye Joe from...
Fruitvale Station (formerly known as Fruitvale) was praised at Sundance and it is already generating bushels of early Oscar buzz…because it’s never to early for that. All of this hype may be valid because 1.) the true story it is based on is layered with intrigue, 2.) Michael B. Jordan and Octavia Spencer are wonderful...
Star Trek Into Darkness opened in theaters yesterday and it pretty much marked the start of the summer blockbuster season (because Iron Man 3 certainly didn’t). Director and the greatest fanboy of them all, J.J. Abrams pretty much set the bar for summer blockbusters — and he set it high. Real high. Star Trek Into...
The new poster for Hunger Games Catching Fire looks like the cover of an ’80s YA novel. I’m fine with that. [/Film] Check out the dope Hammer pants Shailene Woodley is wearing in this brand new image from Divergent! [Hit Fix] This viral campaign for Elysium made me feel like a worthless human being. [ComingSoon.Net]...
There are many amazing things about Star Trek Into Darkness — Simon Pegg being one of them. He returns to the sequel to the prequel as Scotty, the Enterprise’s chief engineer. Scotty is good at what he does…and does it with a fine dose of humor. With roles in movies like Shaun of the Dead...
There is no need for all this buzz for Joss Whedon‘s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. It is going to be a guaranteed success. For one, it’s a spin off from the uber successful The Avengers which made kajillion dollars. The fans of that will flock to this easily. Add the fan boys/girls to that and you...
I enjoyed doing my podcast movie review for Iron Man 3 so much that I decided to do the same thing with The Great Gatsby. And yes, you can rest easy, I decided to incorporate some Celine Dion into the review. I think that might be an ongoing thing. So sit back and listen to...
The World’s End: Why can’t all movies have the glorious trifecta of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost? Their ability to bend genres with a fan boy slant (a la Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) never fails to impress. This movie involves a pub crawl and, as the title suggests, the end...
There are times when The Huffington Post reports on something so riveting and so journalistically poignant that I have no choice but to share it with the world. This is one of those times. I never knew how much of an artist and a technician Leonardo DiCaprio is when it comes to screaming until I...
This video of Amanda Bynes was posted a couple of days ago, but I just watched it yesterday. So it’s new to me…and it is one of the most amazing pieces of journalism to date. Out of curiosity, what would happen if we just stopped paying attention to her? Would she continue this tour of...
Everyone is spazzing and gushing over Jay-Z‘s The Great Gatsby soundtrack, but I’m not…mainly because I really haven’t listened to much of it. But I did hear a couple of tracks…like the cover of Amy Winehouse‘s “Back to Black” by Andre 3000 and Mrs. Beyonce Carter. Yeah. It’s haunting. It’s a little bizarre. It’s an...
