If you’re not a teenager or a Megan Fox fanatic then this might not be the movie for you. It begins with the overused convention of starting at the end of the story. Jennifer’s BFF Needy is locked up in a psychiatric hospital narrating how she got there and how her friend is not like other girls. You see, Jennifer has a body to die for, literally. After she goes

After six missions to Mars are shot down by a UFO, the Fuji Astronautical Flight Center (FAFC) decides to send yet another crew to their certain doom because Mars is just that awesome [sarcasm]. Not surprisingly our heroes fare slightly better thanks to their new experimental nuclear-powered spaceship the AAB-Gamma AKA Astro-Boat. And although they never make it to Mars, they do manage to survive their encounter with the UFO

Eminem meets the Punisher… ’nuff said right? Not even close. The fact that Marvel Comics is giving this away in their digital comics section (http://www.marvel.com/punisher_and_eminem) should tell you something: it sucks. This team-up could have been so awesome: Punisher goes after Eminem, a bawling Eminem explains his gangsta cred is all an act, Punisher lets him live but makes him promise to never rap again, Eminem goes country. [spoilers below]

Despite being announced on April Fools’ this game’s no joke. Plants vs. Zombies is just what it sounds like. Why did no one think of this sooner? Two brainless creatures that rise from dirt – they were bound to have a showdown! As if this game wasn’t already gonna be a cult classic, there’s an insanely catchy music video (English & Japanese version below). No specifics have been released yet

It seems there’s no escaping Asher Roth and his ode to college life (i.e. drinking & women). Now it’s bad enough I’ve gotta listen to this drivel at the gym, but even as I type it’s playing on the “alternative channel” of Music Choice Television. I’ll admit “I Love College” is catchy, but so was Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.” And it’s just so blatant in its pandering. You can

If you listen to rap, odds are you won’t be going to an Ivy League school. Virgil Griffith, inventor of WikiScanner (a database that tracks anonymous edits to Wikipedia in order to humiliate said people), has turned his attention to humiliating the musically-challenged. Griffith compared students’ Facebook music preferences to their schools’ average SAT score and found that even when adjusted for school size, Rap, R&B, & Hip Hop fans

The downward spiral that is the economy isn’t all bad. Sure people are losing their life savings, their jobs, even their homes. On the bright side, Muzak (the  company responsible for those incessant “cool jazz beats” you hear at the grocery store, mall, and of course elevators) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week. But Muzak isn’t ready to face the music just yet. Despite being $100 million to $500

When I first grabbed this I had no idea it was actually a children’s album. In fact, even after listening to a couple songs I was still oblivious. I guess the first song 7 8 9 (get it?) shoulda tipped me off but as a fan of quirky bands like They Might Be Giants I found myself actually liking some of the songs, which is kinda the point. It’s music

The #1 internet superhero musical of 2008 is finally out on DVD! No not Prop 8 – The Musical (gay is not a superpower). It’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, of course. In what’s gotta be the best origin story ever, it documents Dr. Horrible’s (Neil Patrick Harris) rivalry with the self-absorbed hero Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) for the affections of Penny (Felicia Day), which ultimately spurs Dr. Horrible into joining

The Conchords are back and their manager has great news for the band, too bad it’s the wrong band. It’s the kind of awkwardness that not even an impromptu song can undo. Tired of playing second fiddle to “The Crazy Dogs,” Jemaine and Bret decided to manage themselves. Hilarity ensues? While the duo are as funny as ever, their signature songs fall flat. Admittedly season 2 was a bit rushed

For just $4.99 you can spend Christmas with Weezer. The band’s recorded 6 classic Christmas songs exclusively for Tapulous, a music beat game for the iphone & ipod touch. I hate to be a Grinch… actually no I don’t, these renditions are sorely lacking in personality and are a far cry from their cover of “The Christmas Song.” And while I’m sure my Aunt Sally would absolutely adore it, I

Funny or Die’s “Prop 8 – The Musical” is my favorite kind of musical – short. In it the scheming Christians led by John C. Reilly hatch a plan to ban gay marriage, arguing that the Bible says homosexuality is a sin. When without warning, Jesus (Jack Black) descends from the heavens with the revelation that “the Bible says a lot of things.” After the Bible has been thoroughly discredited,

Just saw these guys on New York Noise (episode 75) and was totally enraptured with Chris Keating’s soulful vocals that quite literally echo in your ears. Yeasayer’s 2080 is one of those songs you just can’t sit still to, which Chris confirms with his intense gesticulations throughout the video (below). You can download the Live@KEXP version (the best version) here: Yeasayer – 2080 (live@kexp).mp3. And make sure you check out

Stacey Gayle had problem, every time she listened to rap especially Sean Paul’s “Temperature” she would start foaming at the mouth and flopping around on the floor like a fish out of water. Apparently, she’d never heard the joke “doctor it hurts when I do this.” Undeterred she sought help at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center where examinations revealed she suffered from a rare condition known as musicogenic epilepsy.

No Hannah I will not be shushed! Initially, this was to be story on the reprehensible actions of Texas mother Priscilla Ceballos who told her daughter to lie in an essay contest for tickets to a Hannah Montana concert. And boy was it a doozy. Beginning her essay with “My daddy died this year in Iraq,” despite her the fact that her father never served in the military nor was
