Free MP3 Album: Autumn Jazz Sampler 2010

 

This Autumn Jazz Sampler has a great sound (is it the sampling and bit rates?)! While not inaccessible to casual jazz listeners I wouldn't call it easy listening or smooth jazz. Just very pleasant to listen too with great arrangements and improv! A no brainer to add to your music collection at the fantastic price of 0.00

After the high-flying adventures of the first Iron Man picture, the billionaire arms manufacturer and irrepressible bon vivant Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) finds himself nursing a hangover. But not like any hangover he's had before: this one is toxic, a potentially deadly condition resulting from heavy metals (or something) bleeding out of the hardware he's installed in the middle of his chest. This is the problem Stark needs to solve in Iron Man 2, not to mention the threat from resentful Russian science whiz Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), whose father helped create the Iron Man technology. There's an even bigger problem for the film: the need to set up a future Marvel Comics movie universe in which a variety of veteran characters will join forces, a requirement that slows down whatever through-line the movie can generate (although fanboys will have a good time digging the clues laid out here). Actually, the main plot is no great shakes: another Iron Man suit is deployed (Don Cheadle, replacing Terrence Howard from the first film, gets to climb inside), Stark continues to bicker with assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and a weaselly business rival (Sam Rockwell) tries to out-do the Iron Man suit with an army of Vanko-designed drones. Mickey Rourke is a letdown, burdened by a wobbly Russian accent and looking skeptical about the genre foolishness around him, and Scarlett Johansson has to wait until the final couple of reels to unleash some butt-kickin' skills as the future Black Widow. That climax is sufficiently lively, and the initial half-hour, including Stark's smirky appearance before a Senate committee and a wacky showdown at the Monaco Grand Prix, provides a strong, swift opening. But the lull between these high points is crying for more action and more Downey improv.

Katy Perry’s Boobs are becoming our heroes.

Katy’s boobs are becoming stars in their own right as they seem to have taken on a life of their own.

Last Wednesday, Sesame Street announced that a video of Elmo and Katy would not be airing on the show because some parents had objected to Katy’s cleavage (the clip had been released on YouTube as a teaser for the new season, which began today) We found that horrifying in itself, but thanks goodness Katy’s boobs shot back with this SNL appearance. Yaa for Katy’s Boobs.

 

Here is the original that created the controversy in the first place.

All Katy wants is to play dress-up while she's at Sesame Street, but Elmo is being hot n cold!

This weekend at the movies

Pete's Preview Sep 24 by Peter Veugelaers © 2010

You don't easily forget Michael Douglas as the consummate, charismatic and greedy Gordon Gekko from his Oscar winning performance in Wall Street. In that film, Charlie Sheen's hot shot broker character studied under the wing of Gekko how to succeed without a conscience in the finance world. Over 20 years later, in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Gekko's released from prison and it seems prison has been good to him. A young hot shot trader (Shia LaBeouf), who is married to Gekko's daughter (Carey Mulligan), sides with him to warn of the coming global economic collapse indicating a change of allegiance from consumed by money to actually caring. That might take the edge out of the Gekko we've seen in Wall Street, although money never sleeps.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Release Date: September 24, 2010
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Director: Oliver Stone
Screenwriter: Oliver Stone, Allan Loeb
Starring: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Frank Langella, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Ferlito, Charlie Sheen
Genre: Drama
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for brief strong language and thematic elements)
Official Website: WallStreetMoneyNeverSleeps.com

Shia LaBeouf stars with Michael Douglas, who'll reprise his Gordon Gekko role. Langella will play Lewis Zabel, an old-time broker who mentors LaBeouf's character, a young Wall Street broker.
When Gekko comes out of prison, he essentially has to redefine himself, redefine his character, he's looking for that second chance.
LaBeouf portrays Jake Moore, who is the fiancé of Gekko's daughter, played by Carey Mulligan; Josh Brolin as the head of an investment bank; and Susan Sarandon as Jake's mother. Charlie Sheen, who played the central role of Bud Fox, a young trader, in the original, will make a cameo in the sequel.

EN 5 Second Review:  Douglas is the movie. For nostalgia's sake it is a good movie. It falls down a bit when LaBouf is onscreen as comparisons to Douglas don't work for him. Overall a fun movie thanks to the performances of Douglas and Brolin.
