I feel a bit cheesy watching inspirational type movies. They make me feel the same way I did in high school when they encouraged safe sex by having you watch a 5 minute commercial with Arsenio Hall talking about AIDs. What annoys me is the obvious attempt to evoke an emotion, it’s so forced and no matter how hard they try it will never been cool or on the level. But listen to me, you think I’d be happy to see those depicted as my peers overcome adversity and triumph over drug addition, abuse, street life, or whatever the issue …read more

It’s always interesting hearing the back stories of how my favorite song came to be, or what went down when they were recording, or if there were any changes that took place in the process. Yeah, I know I’m kind of a nerd like that. Anyway, about two years ago I started watching some amazing mini-documentaries made by the legendary rapper D-Nice, I’m sorry I haven’t shared them with you yet. In each episode he picks one rapper to talk about one of their songs, plain and simple. Masta Ace talks about doing The Symphony with the rest of the …read more

Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas will be in the upcoming blockbuster film Wolverine. A prequel to the X-Men movies, Wolverine tells the story before the X-Men team got together.

Will.i.am will be playing John Wraith, a teleportation mutant. Not a far stretch since he was teleported to comment on CNN during the 2009 Presidential Elections.
This will be Will.i.am’s first acting role so go out and support Wolverine for his sake. Check out the Wolverine trailer with John Wraith (Will.i.am) below.

Sean Diddy Combs has been announced as one of the cast members in a new movie that is described as a spin-off of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I’m not sure why they would want to continue making movies based on the Sarah marshal story line. Maybe that’s why they managed to put together a “star” cast of non-actors. For example, other cast members will include Russell Brand (who was in Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne, and Jonah Hill (Superbad).
Keep your eyes peeled for the trailer, it might be worth seeing for a short laugh.
