Our favorite little actor who played Tommy Solomon on “Third Rock From the Sun” sure has grown up.
Yes indeed, he has grown up to be not only a movie star but a foul mouthed heavy rocker.
The actor was hosting the "Hit Record At The Movies With Joseph Gordon-Levitt" series at the Neptune Theater in Seattle Washington last week when he told the audience he was going to change things up a bit.
He proceeded to crank out Nirvana’s hit “Lithium” to a packed house of excited audience members.
The thing we found interesting was what a foul mouth he has as he dropped curse word after curse word.
Not that there's anything wrong with profanity...
I’m still not sure I can get used to seeing him up on a stage with a guitar acting like a musician… but props for trying.
Watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt Rock Nirvana's "Lithium"
And if this music thing doesn’t work out he can certainly fall back on his Hollywood acting career.
Gordon-Levitt can chalk up a few major blockbusters these last few years like “500 Days of Summer”, “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”, and “Inception” starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio where he is thrown into a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion.
And he is certainly keeping busy this summer filming the Batman action thriller “The Dark Knight Rises” with Anne Hathaway, Christian Bale, and Gary Oldman.
Joseph can also be seen this September 30th with funny man Seth Rogen in the comedy “50/50”, where Gordon-Levitt plays a guy with cancer and Rogen plays a guy who tries to cure it with a cocktail of sex, illicit drugs, and profanity.
Seriously?

Joseph’s budding music career really seems to be taking off and he hosts a number of original tracks on his Last.fm channel that aren’t too bad.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes – New Movie Trailer and Review – Video
Thursday, August 4, 2011
Every now and then a movie sequel comes along that was just meant to be made.
“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is one of those movies.
James Franco plays scientist Will Rodman, who is trying to create some of the most effective medical treatments for humans ever seen.
He develops a new drug therapy he calls “The Cure” that allows the human brain to repair itself from traumatic injuries and disease like Alzheimer's and strokes - and it’s almost ready for clinical testing.
Bust first, they test the medication on a baby chimp that quickly begins to develop amazing cognitive powers.
Soon, the young chimp name “Caesar” has grown – and possesses intelligence far greater than any human could ever imagine.
Caesar starts reading books, doing complex math, and growing bored with his simple surroundings. The staff decides to let him co-mingle with the other chimps in the facility – and things go terribly wrong.
Caesar finds a large stash of “The Cure” in a medical freezer and promptly gives it to all the apes in the facility causing “The Rise of the Apes”.
Think “Jurassic Park” on steroids and smart pills.
“Apes” was directed by Rupert Wyatt and stars James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, David Oyelowo,and Andy Serkis.
The special effects are amazing and created by the Oscar-winning visual effects team that brought to life the worlds of "Avatar" and "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
IMDB describes “Rise of the Apes” as,
We call it Apes getting pissed and seeking revenge.
The film is due in theaters this August.

“An origin story in the truest sense of the term. Set in present day San Francisco, the film is a reality-based cautionary tale, a science fiction/science fact blend, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.”

Video - Young Leo Howard Kickin' It In "Conan the Barbarian 3D" – New Trailer
Sunday, July 31, 2011
Anybody who has been watching the new Disney XD show “Kickin’ It” knows who 14-year-old Leo Howard is.
Leo, who has a black belt in karate and is a martial arts master in real life, has displayed his skills in the Disney Wasabi Dojo profiled in the show and has made “Kickin’ It” a smash hit for the network.
Now he is branching out into his first big screen action adventure movie while taking a starring role.
Related: Leo Howard Kicks his way into Disney’s “Kickin’ It” - Video
But in August we are going to see a side to Leo that Disney will never show you.
Howard is playing the young “Conan the Barbarian” in the August 19th release of the 3D action film starring Ron Pearlman, Jason Momoa as adult Conan, Rose McGowan - and Leo as Conan as a child.
“Conan the Barbarian 3D” tells the tale of a quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce warrior, but soon turns into an epic battle against enormous rivals, horrifying monsters, shirtless villains, and impossible odds.
Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil.
Lionsgate has just released a new red band trailer showing Leo in his role as young Conan while taking part in an epic challenge to decide who will fight with the warriors.
It shows young Conan participating in a challenge where he has to race through the woods with and egg in his mouth, and deliver it unbroken to the final destination.
But along the way the group is ambushed by the enemy and an epic battle ensues and Leo kicks some serious butt.
There is lots of blood and gore and Leo Howard saves the group and returns to the elders with the severed heads of three bad guys – then spits the unbroken egg from his mouth!
This is the first “Conan” trailer where we really get to see Leo in action and he does impress us with both his acting ability and martial arts moves.
The kid definitely knows how to fight.
Watch Leo Howard in the Conan Red Band Trailer
Leo is no stranger to Hollywood.
He has already had roles in “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”, “Shorts”, and “Logan” before snagging his role with Disney.
Howard also starred in the TV series “Zeke and Luther”, “Children of the Corn”, and “Aussie and Ted's Great Adventure”.
Related: Meet Leo Howard – Bio of a Karate Master and Movie Star – Video
With a smash hit television series and now a major role in an action adventure movie we suspect Leo will be a hot property in the near future and will have directors beating down his door with job offers.
Being a teen idol seems to come naturally to the young star and he is not afraid to take the shirtless pose for teen idol magazines to keep the interest up among his young female fans.
If your kids aren’t talking about Leo Howard yet – they will be soon.

Video - Justin Bieber Sings “Cry Me A River” During Selena Gomez Birthday Concert
Monday, July 25, 2011
Pop sensation Justin Bieber paid his girlfriend Selena Gomez a visit yesterday for her birthday.
The 17-year-old Bieber made a surprise visit on stage during Selena’s concert in Orange County last night to help celebrate her 19th birthday.
The Bieb’s took the stage during her acoustic set and belted out Justin Timberlake’s famous breakup song “Cry Me a River”.
Selena looked totally surprised but we suspect she had a good idea that something was going to happen during the show.
Watch Justin Sing "Cry Me A River" During Gomez's Birthday Concert
The only issue we would take on the surprise visit is that “Cry Me a River” is a song about breaking up a relationship – not celebrating one.
We hope Justin doesn’t know something we don’t yet.
But we think it was a perfectly innocent birthday gesture and taken at face value is actually a very romantic thing to do for his girlfriend.
Selena is currently performing concerts on tour with her band “Selena Gomez and the Scene” and promoting her new album “When the Sun Goes Down” featuring her hit single “Who Says”.
She also is starring in the recently released movie “Monte Carlo”, a comedy about three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.
Gomez can also be seen this November in the comedy “The Muppets” starring alongside Mila Kunis, Emily Blunt, Neil Patrick Harris, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, and Amy Adams.

Bieber will also start filming his basketball movie this summer with pal Mark Wahlberg with an expected release date in 2012.
Wahlberg says neither him nor Bieber will be singing or dancing in the movie, and it will be a good chance for Justin to bring his dramatic acting skills to the table.
The movie is being produced by Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, and Bieber’s manager Scott “Scooter” Braun.
Ah, to be young and in love – and have friends in high places.

But now it has been announced that Elijah will play the role of Beck in the upcoming “Tron Uprising” animated TV series due to premier in 2012 on Disney XD.
The series will star Bruce Boxleitner as the voice of Tron and Many Moore will provide the voice for Mara.
The television series will follow the plot of the successful Tron movie franchise where a master control program (MCP) sucks people inside a computer game.
As for a third Tron movie, insiders say a lot of that has to do with the success of the television spinoff,
But even if Tron doesn’t do well on the small screen, Elijah Wood won’t have to worry because he is busy with other projects.
In addition to “The Hobbit” films, Wood will be appearing in “Happy Feet 2 in 3D” later this year.
Reprising his voice role as Mumble, Elijah will return to the Happy Feet franchise along with veterans Elizabeth Daily, Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Hank Azaria.

“If there is sufficient interest in the TV series we may use that to launch a third Tron movie. It all depends on what kind of following we can get for the series. If Disney puts its muscle behind it then the legacy will most likely continue – but kids are more familiar with today’s high impact interactive games and high graphic role playing. Motorcycles that ride a beam of light are just not as exciting to kids as they were 20 years ago.”

Leo Howard Kicks His Way into Disney’s New Karate Series “Kickin’ It” – Video
Monday, June 13, 2011
Every now and then Disney gets it right.
The Disney XD channel, known for its predominantly teen oriented programming, launched its latest action series called “Kickin’ It” last night - and it looks like a hit.
Or maybe we should say a “kick”.
The premise of the show revolves around two competing martial arts dojos and their attempt to recruit the hottest karate kid in town played by 14-year-old Leo Howard.
Howard, no stranger to martial arts and action flicks, finds himself in the starring role of “Jack”, the grandson of the Wasabi Warriors Karate franchise founder and master trainer.
Jack not only tries to save the Wasabi Dojo, but also tries to impress the cutest girl in the club. It’s classic teen Disney, and sure to be a hit if they give the series enough time to find an audience.
And Leo Howard’s got the moves.
In the premier episode, Howard performs a number of high performance kicks, flips, punches, and deflections – showing he is no stranger to this type of work.
And for good reason.
Leo is a champion black belt in martial arts, has been doing karate since he was 5-years-old, and is a member of the Sideswipe Performance Team – a high impact martial arts exhibition club in California.
His dad is the famous Todd Howard - also called “The Big Bulldog" who is another master of the martial arts.
Leo was born in Newport Beach California, but today lives near San Diego so he can work on his karate and television productions.
Not only is Leo Howard a Karate Master, but he also knows his way around Hollywood.
Before joining Disney, Leo got his start in a bit part on the popular TV series “Monk” playing a young karate kid.
His first movie role was in the action movie “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” with Sienna Miller, Dennis Quaid and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film told the story of an elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe that takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer.
Leo has also appeared in a few high action television shows like “Children of the Corn”, “Leo Little's Big Show”, and “Zeke and Luther”.
All that practice has paid off, and now Howard is heading to the big big screen as the younger version of Conan, played by Jason Momoa, in “Conan the Barbarian” due in theaters later this year.
Conan tells the tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village.

We’re sure with Disney behind his promotion, Leo Howard and his karate skills could go on to be the next Disney teen idol.
After all, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus will be leaving the nest soon and Disney needs to keep the machine running.

Selena Gomez Returns to the Hospital Briefly – Now We Know What The Problem Was...
Sunday, June 12, 2011
Selena Gomez made another visit to the hospital on Saturday – but not for an emergency.
She returned briefly for more tests and to hear the results of tests performed last Thursday after being rushed to the emergency room after taping the Jay Leno Show.
After her overnight stay Thursday she was released on Friday but returned Saturday only for routine follow-up tests.
Rumors ran wild Thursday night, and her boyfriend Justin Bieber even cancelled his trip to watch the Stanley Cup playoff game so he could monitor her progress.
Some said Gomez fell ill from food poisoning while others speculated she was pregnant with Bieber’s love child.
Not true.
It seems that Selena had a sudden spike in her blood pressure while on the NBC lot Thursday and was suffering from an extreme headache and severe exhaustion.
An NBC employee said,
Gomez cancelled a Friday concert in Santa Monica but has since rescheduled it for Monday evening. From there she will perform a ten city concert tour.
Her blood pressure is being monitored and so far nobody really seems to know why things got so bad when they did.
So all the rumors can be laid to rest and Gomez seems to be just fine and is being watched closely.

Shia LaBeouf – I’m Done, No More Transformer Movies For Me - Video
There comes a time in every actor’s career when they feel they need to take their last bow.
Shia LaBeouf feels that way about the Transformers franchise.
After three starring roles he says he has had enough.
He told MTV,
After completing the third sequel, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”, LaBeouf is distancing himself from the popular series.
But he thinks “Dark of the Moon”, where the Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the Moon and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets, is the best of all the films.
Shia was very vocal about the second sequel "Revenge of the Fallen" saying,
Ouch. Not good when your big star doesn’t like the way things turned out. And to add insult to injury superhot Megan Fox will not be in this latest sequel which LaBeouf seems to think is a good thing.
But don’t feel bad for LaBeouf – he is doing plenty well for himself these days.
The actor has had a string of smash hits since his awkward teen years on the television show “Even Stevens” including roles in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, The Battle of Shaker Heights, I, Robot, Disturbia, Eagle Eye, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
Between his role in Indiana Jones and Wall Street he has been able to inject himself into two of the largest movie concepts of all time – and there is plenty of room for sequels for both of those franchises.
Shia also just completed work alongside Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy in “The Wettest County in the World” - a crime-drama centered on a family of Depression-era bootleggers in the American South.
“Wettest” is due to hit theaters sometime in 2012.
And on top of all that, there is rumor that a new “Indiana Jones” is in the works. Shia could take on the legacy of that franchise and milk it for the next twenty years if he wanted to.
So all is good, and the Transformers probably need to come to end anyway.

"Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment stuff that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael. He films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It’s summer. It’s Michael’s style. And I think Megan Fox never got comfortable with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it.”

And on top of all that, there is rumor that a new “Indiana Jones” is in the works. Shia could take on the legacy of that franchise and milk it for the next twenty years if he wanted to.
So all is good, and the Transformers probably need to come to end anyway.

The UK Bans “The Human Centipede II” – Is the US Next? Plot Review and Trailer - Video
Tuesday, June 7, 2011
Okay, every now and then a movie comes along that we can’t exactly categorize – or understand.
In fact, we’re shocked that a movie like this could actually be released - much less filmed and edited with a straight face.
“The Human Centipede II – Full Sequence”, written and direct by Tom Six, is the follow-up to the original “Human Centipede” released in 2009.
For those of you who have never heard of it – consider yourself lucky. Most movie goers had not heard of it until Matt Stone and Trey Parker did a spoof about it on South Park last month.
The concept is simple, yet repulsive.
A demented surgeon finds three unwilling victims and surgically attaches them end to end – mouth to anus, turning them into a Siamese Trio – the human centipede.
Seriously. We’re not making this up.
The trailer below is from the first film and will go a long way in helping you understand the basic concept. We’ll wait…. Go ahead… watch it..
Were we right?
Now that you understand the rudimentary premise of the first movie we can move on to the troubles Mr. Six is facing in Britain with regards to his sequel.
“The Human Centipede II – Full Sequence” supposedly follows another demented surgeon who became sexually obsessed with the original movie.
He proceeds to replicate the Siamese trio just as in the original movie but with twelve people instead of three – and he adds one special demented twist.
His goal is to exploit his new creation sexually, and explore the concepts of sex, fantasy, pain, pleasure, and release with his new creation(s).
It’s really hard to wrap your head around isn't it?
Below is the movie trailer Six released last year promoting Centipede II. While not graphic in detail it doesn’t really reveal any plot, but the message seems to be clear - it will be “the sickest movie of all time.”
But Mr. Six has run into a big problem.
It seems the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has ruled no amount of cuts, redaction, or editing would allow them to give the new film a certificate of release and said it may violate the Obscene Publications Act.
They went on to say,
This may well prevent the film from ever seeing the light of day in Europe.
But what about the United States?
The U.S. has a habit of following along with the BBFC in its development of the United States MPAA rating. (Motion Picture Association of America)
The original film was given a MPAA rating of “R” which allowed it to be shown in American theaters. But if the MPAA can’t, or won’t rate the sequel, then it cannot be shown in the U.S.
We think that is a good thing. This is not really the kind of movie we want playing at the Mall on Saturday afternoon anyway. Our kids have enough to deal with already and we don’t need to plant any more bizarre ideas in their tiny little heads.
InfoStar says – Keep Centipede II away from the U.S.

“The potentially obscene Human Centipede sequel poses risk of harm to viewers. There is little attempt to portray any of the victims in the film as anything other than objects to be brutalized, degraded and mutilated for the amusement and arousal of the central character, as well as for the pleasure of the audience.”
This may well prevent the film from ever seeing the light of day in Europe.

“Super 8” Movie Trailer and Review – Amazing Summer Movie – Bring it!
Thursday, June 2, 2011
The hot days of summer are upon us.
Memorial Day is behind us.
And we all know what that means……
The summer blockbusters are coming!
And to start things off this month is the great looking flick “Super 8” and a new movie trailer.
Think “Cloverfield” meets area 51.
In fact, the original screenplay was developed to be the sequel to “Cloverfield”, so you can do the math on what to expect - serious science fiction and inhuman things.
Usually we can tell by the movie trailer if we think a film is going to be any good, and all we can say about the “Super 8” trailer is this film is going to rock.
Not really a kid’s movie, but definitely a predominately teen kid cast – but with very adult adventures.
The production values of this flick are undeniable because it was written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg.
It stars the young Elle Fanning, AJ Michalka, and Kyle Chandler, and has Spielberg’s trademark all over it.
The story goes like this – a group of kids are playing around with their super 8 movie camera when they witness a train derailment.
It turns out to be a deliberate derailment of a United States Air Force train named "Groom Lake One", which was transporting undisclosed materials from Area 51 to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
After the wreck, some unknown entity escapes from one of the cargo cars and begins to cause havoc on the small town of Lillian, Ohio.
Suddenly, the military and other spooky looking Government suits start showing up and taking over.
All the dogs in town run away and strange things start happening all over.
There are disappearances, unexplained events, and eight missing people. The local sheriff investigates the cause of the events which leads to the discovery of something inhuman.
And the kids have it all on Super 8 video….
The budget for "Super 8" was a modest $45 million and is due in theaters and IMAX June 11th.
Welcome to the blockbuster movie season!

Video - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Red Band Trailer Leaked – Or was it?
Monday, May 30, 2011
It’s being called the feel bad movie for Christmas.
Everybody has been dying to see an official movie trailer.
And now, the red band trailer has been leaked to the internet.
Or has it?
In what appears to be a leaked movie trailer for director David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” we get our first glimpse of what’s to come.
But some experts are saying it was not a leak at all, but rather a clever marketing ploy by Sony to make it look like a leak.
Agreed.
This looks an awful lot like a “Cloverfield” type viral video stunt by Sony to get the trailer into American hands, and the web site shown at the end of the trailer redirects to Sony’s main move portal.
Sneaky? Yes, and very effective.
This would not be the first time Sony has used viral videos to promote an upcoming project.
The film remake of the popular book is said to be costing $100 Million to complete and stars Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer, Stellan Skarsgård, Rooney Mara, Embeth Davidtz.
For those not familiar with “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” book, here is a little overview.
The original Swedish title translated into English as "Men Who Hate Women"), and is an award-winning crime novel by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his "Millennium series".
A complete plot summary can be found here on Wikipedia.

“If this was a real leak, Sony would have pulled that trailer off YouTube so fast it wouldn’t have been funny. This was no leak. The sound is exceptional, and there is an American MPAA rating that shouldn’t be there in a European trailer. We think Sony knew exactly what they were doing”.

Video - Man Proposes to Girlfriend in Movie Trailer – Greatest Marriage Proposal of All Time!
Friday, May 27, 2011
This is a story of how two people find true love – through a movie trailer.
Matt and Ginny were in love.
Matt wanted to surprise Ginny with a fantastic marriage proposal – so he came up with a brilliant idea.
Matt made a fake movie trailer and asked the local theater to run it while his girlfriend was there with her brother - while Matt waited outside. Once the trailer finished, he jumped into action and asked her to marry him.
In the trailer Matt films himself asking Ginny’s father if he can take his daughters hand in marriage.
Matt is not a big-wig Hollywood producer, but rather a humble insurance salesmen, but his sense of film techniques is amazing.
Ginny’s brother duped her into going to see “Fast Five” and she had no idea what was about to happen.
Matt had even wired the theater with cameras so he could capture the her reaction.
Ellen DeGeneres had the happy couple on her show Friday and the YouTube video of Matt’s proposal has already received over 14 million hits.
This is the greatest proposal video of all times, and is the cutest thing InfoStar has seen in a while.
Enjoy!

Antonio Banderas Bizarre Film “The Skin I Live In” Shocks Cannes – Video
Sunday, May 22, 2011
We also know that sometimes these smaller hard hitting films never see the light of day.
This year, mega star Antonio Banderas and writer producer Pedro Almodóvar were at Cannes to unveil Pedro’s latest film project “The Skin I live In”.
Okay, so how bad could it be?
It’s not so much bad as it is graphic in nature and spirit.
The story goes like this:
Banderas plays the role of Robert Ledgard, a brilliant surgeon with a beautiful young doughter. His daughter is brutally raped by a man, and the young girl ends up killing herself due to the traumatic event. And Banderas cuts off, and preserves her face.
Okay, so far it’s not that bad right?
Later in the film, Banderas tracks down and kidnaps the man who raped his daughter. But instead of turning him over to the police, or killing him out of a crime of passion, he does the most shocking thing ever imaginable for a plot.
He gives the man a sex change and transplants the face of his daughter onto him. To make matters worse, he rapes the man and has sex with him – as a woman – now wearing his daughters face.
Told you.
IMDB describes the film as being based on Thierry Jonquet's novel "Mygale", a revenge tale that tells the story of a plastic surgeon on the hunt for the men who raped his daughter.
But viewers at the Cannes film festival became a bit shocked during the screening and started to walk out due to the graphic nature of the plot.
One group of Americans that had been flown to Cannes, all expenses paid by the director, left in the middle of the film and never returned.
One U.S. citizen who left during the screening said,
"It was the fact that the victim was supposed to look like the doctor's daughter. I couldn't stop picturing the girl in the beginning of the movie when he was in bed with her, with him, later."
The movie is expected to be released in the United States in November 2011.
This is NOT a chick flick, so guys, don’t plan to take your date to see it or she may never look at you the same way again.

New Hangover II Trailer Released – Another Pulled for Wiener Munching Monkey Stunt - Watch
Wednesday, April 6, 2011
The clip sows Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, and the schlong munching monkey on a bus in Bangkok, where Galifianakis' character puts a water bottle in the pants of an old man and the monkey jumps on the guy's lap and starts gnawing away at his private parts.
Galifianakis said,
"When a monkey nibbles on a wiener, it's funny in any language, but it's also pushing the envelope in any language, too.”
Of course the MPAA has required Warner Brothers to edit the trailer and make a new one available as soon as possible. “Hangover II” is due for release May 26, 2011 and even though the plot has been kept under wraps we do know a little about it.
In the follow-up to the record-breaking hit comedy “The Hangover,” Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding.
After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don’t always go as planned.
What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can’t even be imagined.
