Star Wars geek? John Williams fan? Ummm… A cappella aficionado? This is the video for you. It’s nice to see actual talent and originality in a youtube viral video instead of the usual voyeuristic wedding reception nut punch or office worker nervous breakdown #527. (Okay, sure, the song’s been [...]

All-New Disney Pixar UP Trailer Is Online!
Pixar fans rejoice! Up, the next Disney classic, is on its way, although from first look, it might be Pixar’s strangest, most ambitious project yet (of course, everyone said that with Wall-E too).

Youtube to Offer Full-Length MGM Films
Youtube has partnered with MGM and will soon be offering streams of the studio’s content. The catch, though, is that the first titles being offered are somewhat sub-par.

Harry Potter Half Blood Prince International Trailer NOW!
The international trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is now available online. Of course it begins so very mysteriously but it ends with a chuckle. It completely sucks that the film has been bumped to July 2009, but I don’t doubt it will be worth it. And, yeah, I’ve read the book… [...]
