The Pop, Rap and just plain 'Swagtastic' duo of Karmin are at it again with "Told Ya So", the third single off of their debut album Hello. The video features some pretty neat visuals and a super eerie vibe. Amy kills it with her impressive rap skills and Nick adds some really great vocals that round out the song. The song has a great beat and really gets me pumped up! And if you haven't already definitely go grab Karmin's new album!!
Well folks if seeing is believing then it's FINALLY true...a new Bond film is officially coming our way! The simple poster features star Daniel Craig being a bad ass, as per usual. It's definitely nice to see a legit poster for this film after all it's delays and potential lack of fund it seemed for a while that this film wasn't going to happen. Here's a brief synopsis of the new Bond film Skyfall:
In Skyfall, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
The film also stars Sam Mendes-directed action adventure stars Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw, Helen McCrory, Ola Rapace and Tonia Sotiropoulou.
One would think with such a simple title that a a film like the upcoming Words starring Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana would consist of an equally as simplistic plot. However, a seemingly unassuming story about an aspiring writer trying to create greatness on the page take some interesting turns when Cooper's character passes off someone else's work as his own. The film really seems to show what can happen when you grown desperate to have your words read, even when they aren't your own.
I recently had the chance to chat with NY based pop/dance group L2 made up of sisters Jess and Melissa Labbadia. The sisters, who got their start in musical theater are extremely hard working and have a real idea of the direction they'd like their music to go in. They're single 'Insomnia" which the girls recently filmed the video for in LA was featured at #16 on the Billboard top 100 dance/pop charts as well. Check out my chat with the lovely ladies of L2 who instantly won me over with their love of 80's music!
How did L2 first come about??
"Actually when we were in our early teens we started making music together and called ourselves the 'Labbadia Sisters'. And later we changed it to L2. And we've been doing it full time for about 8 years now. We both started off in Musical Theater so it's always been a HUGE part of our lives."
Being a NY based band does being in such a vibrant city filled with so much history inspire your musical process??
"Absolutely! It's so inspiring. We've been lucky enough to record in Times Square and the views there are just amazing! We've also played at the Bitter End in The Village which is where Gaga has played. Playing a venue with that sort of history was just incredible.
So speaking of being in New York, you guys recently sang the National
Anthem at the Mets game…what was that experience like?!
"That experience was incredible! We had heard that they were interested so we made a home video of us singing the national anthem A Capella and got it in that evening!"
In what's being called the 'sort-of-sequel' to Knocked Up the upcoming film This is 40 we reunite with some of our favorite characters and see where life has taken them. And in this film, it has taken them to to their forties. Leslie Mann's character is struggling with the concept of aging and formulates a game plan to ease into this huge transition and in some ways combat it. As always Paul Rudd is hysterical and the writing and situations just feel real which probably has a lot to do with director Judd Apatow drawing form his own life experiences. Check out the trailer after the jump!
Images have just been released from the highly anticipated 'Django Unchained. The upcoming film from acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino has an all star cast consisting of Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz hits theaters later this year. The film follows "a slave-turned-bounty hunter who sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner." I am sad to admit I am a tad late to the "Tarantino is brilliant" party however I am happy to arrived and am really looking forward to this film.
Chris Hardwick, founder of the Nerdist site and it's offspring (their Youtube Channel, and Podcast) is unintentionally making being a nerd cool. The all encompassing Nerdist industries makes nerd talk/nerdy subjects (in the stereotypical sense) fun and interesting. One cool thing that Chris and the Nerdist peeps do is host a celebrity bowling match for charity. And this weeks contestants were none other then the men of Mad Men!
