Nick’s Oscar Picks! UPDATED: With Winners!
Well, we’re only a few days away from Sunday’s latest Oscar extravaganza in which the best films will be recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. But which ones will actually win? I have a clue… see my picks inside!
Togetherville & Adult Friend Finder Living In E-Harmony?
What does E-Harmony, Adult Friend Finder and Disney’s new social network for parents with children have in common? I’d like to introduce you all to Harmonyville! It’s the new wave of social network dating for adults and is taking the web by storm.
Movie Review: The Green Hornet
Most times, you know if a Seth Rogen film is a good idea because you either love him or hate him, but it’d be unfair to toss The Green Hornet out just because he stars in it… and co-wrote the script. Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that this film came out of left field and was a hilarious, if a tad uneven, surprise.
Watch Out Netflix, Amazon…YouTube Is Here
Careful now Netflix and Amazon, YouTube has joined the war in streaming Hollywood media. That’s right, Google is stated to jump on the unlimited movie subscription bandwagon. They’ve already allocated over $100 million with deals from big wig studios and providers. The service plans to start streaming films in Europe before expanding to the States.
My question is: Do we really need more than two options to watch content on? I’m already satisfied getting my fix of “MSTK3000” on Netflix and keeping up with “Community” on Hulu. This is just like the time when Walgreens were popping up on every street corner. It’s only a matter of time before they over saturate the market and fail.

Movie Review: Vanishing On 7th Street
When I first watched the preview for this movie, I was excited to get out and see it. The scenes were dark and foreboding, the story looked interesting and the concept grabbed my attention. I popped down to the theater, bought some soda and juju bees and settled in for the flick.
UPDATED: Looks Like Two & A Half Men is Cancelled
Just hours after Charlie Sheen did two interviews CBS and Warner Brothers have stopped production for the season. There is no word if it will come back, I’m guessing that it won’t. CBS and Warner Brothers had this to say: Read the rest of this article…
Teaser Trailer Released For The Hangover 2
Maybe it’s because the first Hangover did about half a billion dollars at the box office (which still absolutely blows my mind), but they’re doing another one. Apple just put up the new teaser trailer and, y’know, whatever, enjoy it I guess. I didn’t care much for the original, partially because it wasn’t terribly funny, but also the idea of getting over a hangover in Vegas came off as one of the most easy ideas for a movie in existence. Anyway, this new film sends the Wolfpack to Thailand for Stu’s (Ed Helms) wedding where they encounter a barrage of crazy cameos and I’m sure, possibly, a hangover. We’ll see.
CBS Is In An Open Relationship With Netflix
I like to imagine official business partnerships as peers posting their relationship status on facebook the morning after hooking up. It really puts things into perspective.
Now that CBS and Netflix are sleeping together, they will be streaming multiple tv shows that you’ve probably never seen before. Episodes of “Cheers,” “Frasier,” “The Andy Griffith Show,” and “The Twilight Zone” will be available for Netflix subscribers to once-over and move on. Here’s hoping that CBS brings over other shows a la “The Big Band Theory” to the party. Neither one wanted to comment on their open relationship but have stated that they’re moving into a nice little townhouse together with a 24-month lease.

Britney Spears Banked with Her New Video
Holy hell, so I just sat through the entire new Britney Spears music video to catch all the product placement. She made $500,000 FROM PRODUCT PLACEMENT! PlentyOfFish.com, a free dating site, forked over 6 figures to be in the video. POF said they saw an increase in traffic by 20%. You can totally see Britney is digging me since she’s all checking out my profile (if you don’t know, that’s me in the top pic) in the video and after the jump see the rest of the product placement, it’s obvious and bad.
