Aziz Ansari Becomes a Star

Comedian Aziz Ansari is doing his thing. We did a story on Aziz way back in January, and sure enough the kid has been living up to all the expectations we put on him. Last night was the culmination of his ascension, as he hosted... and killed, the MTV Movie Awards. Below I included a preview clip that aired before the show, the introductory video where Aziz tackles this years biggest hits, as well as the funniest skit of the night, in which Aziz filled in for a missing R. Kelly to sing a tribute to Avatar... wow, there are no words!!! Enjoy the clips. And keep an eye out for everybodies favorite little brown comedian. This guy is gonna be large!!!

DVD Release Day - March 22, 2010

The Blind Side - (Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron)

Trust me guys... Oscar got this one right. Sandra Bullock sparkles as the tough as nails rich lady with a heart the size of planet Earth. She feels bad for a large homeless boy named Big Mike that goes to here childrens school. So she does what any logical upper class white mother would do... she invites the boy to come live in the house with her husband and their two teenage kids!!! She takes a chance on Mike, and he learns what it is like to have a family that cares for him. This would suck the big one if it was  a typically made up story, but thats the best part: THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!! Michael Orr is currently playing in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens, and most likely this is because of the kindness that was afforded to him way back when. This one is a tear jerker, and Bullock gives the performance of her long, outstanding career. You will love this one, trust us. When they talk about feel good movies, this is what they have in mind.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox - (George Clooney, Meryll Streep, Jason Schwartzman)

Wes Anderson is a wonderful director. This is not open for debate, this is a fact. I love when actors and directors take chances after they achieve a certain level of greatness. Tom Cruise has been sucking it up lately as an actor, but when he took a chance a poking some fun at himself and stole the show as the dancing movie mogul in Tropic Thunder. Thats what I mean by taking a chance... and it paid off. Anderson is known for his quirky movies and collaborating with Luke and Owen Wilson and Bill Murray repeatedly. He took a shot and adapted this stop motion version of the Roald Dahl classic novel. And boy did he nail it. It helps when you get George Clooney and Meryll Streep involved, because they are somewhat known to be pretty decent actors... WTF!!! This cast is incredible, from Clooney and Streep, to frequent Anderson collaborators Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. This also features so many cameos they can not ven be named. This movie was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film award at this years Academy Awards, and it could have easily been one of the best picture nominees... no bullshit. If it wasn't for the mega hit UP, Fox would have won the category easily. Nothing wrong with coming in second to UP (great flick). Good for both adults and kids, this one won't disappoint.

Why the F@ck Are You Reading That Book???

Oh... thats right. Cause it has been adapted into a hit fucking movie. Thats why its cool to pick it up now. You know what, I'm not even mad about this practice of reading original source materials AFTER its adapted into a movie... I'm more mad at the asshole people who allow themselves to be directed to buy these books. Now if you are interested in reading something, by all means read it. I read books all the time, and I have been looked at as crazy for my choices before. But picking a title out because everyone is talking about the movie they adapted from it is just fucking crazy. I ride the NYC Subway to work everyday. Since October, every single person on the fucking train is reading one of three books: The Blindside (the movie adaption was recently nominated for best picture academy award), The Lovely Bones (Adapation directed by Geek God Peter Jackson, he directs a movie like every 5 years) and by far the worst offense of the group: Push by Sapphire ( Adapted into the movie Precious; recently nominated for best picture academy award).

Now I can understand wanting to know what all the fuss is about... I can even relate to you wanting to be ahead of a movie release and reading the original to enhance the movie experience when you do eventually see the film. But certain books should be read by certain people. My rule is pretty general: Dont fucking read it if you have absolutely no interest in it. This is a picture of some kid on the train the other day. He looked like a straight laced white kid, dressed to go to work in business attire. Then he pulls out his literary choice and I almost choked on my corn muffin:

This tool is really reading Push??? The story of the 400 lbs black teenager who is impregnated by her step father and has a mom that make her already horrible life worse by beating the shit out of her??? Yeah, I could see the common interests that this book shares with this guys characteristics... get the fuck outta here!!! If you hear everyone talking about the movie, dont try to be overly intelectual and get the book. Just go see the fucking movie!!! If this book wasn't adapted, and Mo'nique didn't give a Golden Globe winning, Academy Award nominated performance as the piece of shit mother of Precious, would this tool bag above EVER HAVE PICKED UP THIS BOOK??? Nope, not at all. I agree that books are almost always better then the movies they inspire, but don't pick a book to read simply cause it has been made into a hollywood movie. try picking something you could relate to and truly enjoy.
