Sequels To Look Out For In 2014 Update!

January 4, 2014

With the new year comes new films, 2014 has a few big sequels to look forward to seeing.

22 Jump Street

After the reboot of the TV show staring Johnny Depp did so well they had to do another one, and I am happy they did. The first one was a surprise hit with all ages groups and was a lot funnier than I thought it would be. Lets hope the second one will be as good. As long as they give Ice Cube more hilarious lines, it will be. In the first film as you know they pretended to be high school students, well only way to follow that is with the duo going to college of course. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill return as the not so dynamic duo June 5, 2014



 

Dumb and Dumber To

Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey are back, as the dumb and dumber twosome for another sure hit with core fans. After the horrible prequel Dumb and Dumberer, glad to see the original dumb and dumber cast is back. Harry (Daniels) and Lloyd (Carrey) track down one of their children in order to get them to agree to a life-saving kidney transplant. November 14

 

300: Rise of an Empire

 I don't think I need to even explain why, this is the ultimate man flick, violence, blood, and the cinematography is amazing, the original spawned several imitations, see Spartacus, The Immortals, and none of them came close. In this squeal expect more blood, more gore, more violence, and something I'm sure the ladies will love, more ripped abs. March 5

 

 

  Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

This out of all the previous mentioned films, this has to be my personal favorite. The last one was in my opinion, the best of all the planet of the apes series ever made. The one with Marky Mark, (he hates it when people call him that) was ok. The old ones sucked ass if you ask me, but the last one Rise of The Planet of the Apes, despite is long title, was excellent and this one looks to be just as good, if not better. Added bonus, no James Franco, thank God, the more I see him act, the more I realize he can't. Look for this one on May 21

Update!!! check out the trailers for these films below!

Paul Walker's Character To Be Retired!

January 4, 2014

Paul Walker's Character to be retired

 Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker will reportedly be retired from the franchise, the writers decided to go this route instead of having him killed off in the next sequel.

 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Writer Chris Morgan is working on rewriting the script to around the footage that Walker shot before his untimely death. 

 

Producers and studio execs want to give the character a respectable exit, while satisfying loyal fans wishes to see the character live on.

 

Universal Pictures confirmed in December that Fast & Furious 7's release date will be moved to April 10, 2015 to accommodate script changes.

 

I am very happy to hear that this is the direction they decided to go, anything else would have been too sad and fans and personal friends have hurt enough in real life. No need to make them relive it all over again on the big screen.

Kanye West Calls Himself the "No.1 Rock Star on the Planet"

                 Kanye West calls himself 'the No.1 Rock Star on the Planet"

September 23, 2013

Yes Mr West is at it again, in a recent BBC Radio 1 with Zane Lowe he refers to himself as the "No.1 Rock Star on the Planet". Just a few minutes into the interview he begins yet another infamous rant. Now I am a huge Kanye Fan, and I have all his records. Kanye is a true artist and by this I mean, he is insane or close to it. Musical genius, visual artists that often directs and has a lot of input for his music videos. A fashion Icon, this man was tormented for wearing tight jeans " skinny jeans" and yeah pretty much everyone wears them now. He introduce the world, not just the hip hop community, but the world to his fashion and people either embraced it or ridiculed it only to use it later on. Though he may seem irrational and overly sensitive, yes even though the rants are sometimes poorly timed and executed, you can always say that his words came from the heart. He hates his celebrity just as much as he loves it, feels he is the voice of those people that are too afraid to speak or have no voice at all. As much as you want to dislike him, you cant help but say hey that's Kanye! Lets face it, the things that Kanye has done with the rants and "Taylor Swift" incident, if he was any other artist would have ended his career. So is he right? Kanye may actually be the biggest rock star on the planet. Tell us what you think! Check out the interview below.

Trinidad Jame$ releases new mixtape! 10PCmild!

The man that brought you All Gold everything, yes none other than Trinidad Jame$ is back with a brand new mixtape called 10PcMild. We had the pleasure of being present at the release party to interview Mr All Gold himself. The party was held at Ginza Boutique in Atlanta's infamous Underground. The turn out was amazing tons of fans came out to show love for Trinidad and the new music. The new mixtape is incredible, dope production, and yes dope lyrics, say what you want but Trinidad Jame$ did not disappoint.

Speaking of say what you want..if you have been under a very large rock then you may have missed the biggest verse of 2013. Kendrick Lamar dropped a venomous verse on Big Sean's "Control" track and the world went crazy. Now every rapper and fan is talking about this song and some rappers felt they had to respond. I know what your thinking, what the hell does this have to do with Trinidad Jame$. Well Mr Joe Budden is one of those rappers who responded and in his response he mentions Trinidad Jame$. Well lets just say TJ did not care for it, and he responses in our interview very bluntly and also on his new mixtape. He has felt the hate coming from certain people who feel like he doesn't deserve all the success he has had so far.  He addresses this on a couple of tracks on the 10PCMild. But for the actual interview here it is from the source himself. Yes we bring you yet another exclusive interveiw, check it out and leave comments.
 

 

Haaannnnn!

The Kings Of Twerk Music Are Back!

 Everywhere you look somebody is twerking, twerking is nothing new, it has been around for well over 20 years now. Thanks to a long list of A list celebs twerking has officially entered the mainstream. Miley Cyrus is twerking, Nicki Minaj is twerking, damn near everyone on vine, twitter, and Instagram is twerking.

So, what is twerking and where did it come from? Just so happen we interviewed the kings of twerk music, and they helped shed some light on the matter. You don't have a clue who I'm talking about, let me give you a hint, haaaaaaannnnnnn. No not French Montana but he does make some good club music. I'm referring to the Ying Yang Twins, yes they are back and right on time if you ask me. We caught up with the makers of "Whistle While You Twerk" and "Shake It Like A Salt Shaker" and my personal favorite "The Whisper Song". They have a brand new track called....wait for it....."Miley Cyrus".

I have often wondered why twerking is now all of a sudden a phenomenon, its been around longer than most of the people doing it. The Ying Yang Twins broke it down for us, the history, the craze and its future. They also mentioned a little bit of tension between them and another rapper who is using their signature ad-lib "HAAAAAANNNNNNNN".

Watch our brand new interview, I dare you to not say haaaaaaannnnnn by the time its over.
