And as if that wasn't enough I've just implemented a new music player found right at the bottom of this page. Its been loaded with a handful of hot tunes so check it out.

Movie Update

Well I provided a music update so why not a movie update?
To start off we have a new pic of the web-slinging superhero SPIDEY!!!

Be sure to check out the trailer provided in the previous movie post.

Following the superhero theme we have:

Thats right Fantastic Four 2, hmmm sounds funny. Anyways the first film wasn't that great but was OK. This one has Silver Surfer so I'm immediately interested...oh and btw it also has Jessica Alba in the film so there's another reason to watch out for this.

Next there is a new trailer for Smokin' Aces which just looks sick! 'Cos i'm so kind just click right HERE to see what the fuss is about.

Another film, not so much a hollywood blockbuster like the others but this one features Simon Pegg and Nick Frost who you might've seen in Shaun of The Dead. This looks pretty funny, take a LOOK for yourself!

Finally a pic from the new Transformers movie. You can see singer/rapper Tyrese or Black Ty as he also likes to be known as, running for his life:

Musiq!...Again

It's been a while since I last posted anything music related so here's an update.

Firstly it seems that Bobby Valentino's album Special Occasion has been pushed back yet again. It's now scheduled for a release early next year which is a shame 'cos most of the album is already available in the right places if you know what I mean. Having heard alot of his new material i can say that his style remains very much intact which is a good thing and a bad thing. It's good cos it sounds a lot like his first album which I liked but then again it doesn't show much progression as an artist. A true example would be someone like John Legend who came with a new sound for his sophomore release Once Again.


Jeezy's back with the follow up to Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. The new album titled The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102 is more of the same. I've given it a quick scan through and it sounds very similar to the first album. I won't lie, i'm more into my R&B rather than hip-hop/rap so i cant give a detailed review on this. I'd say i like the first album better but then saying that i only really liked 3 or 4 tracks on that album which doesn't say much about this album. Here's the video to his latest song I Luv It

Darien Brockington - Someone To Love. An underground artist that brings something fresh. This album is filled with R&B and has some really good tracks on it, my personal favourites are Don't Say Goodbye and More And More. Check it out if you have the chance.


My last album review is Ciara's new album The Evolution. The album is pretty solid from what I'e heard so far and alot better than her first in my opinion. She brings her usual sounds hooking up with Lil' Jon & DarkChild and the likes to produce the club bangers but then also puts in a few slow jams like her lead single Promise (watch the video above). Tracks that stand out for me so far are Make It Last Forever and Can't Leave 'Em which features 50 Cent.

Even after playing Lloyd's latest song for over a month now I'm still not sick of it yet check out the video
As well as that I'm still listening to Black Republican by Nas and Jigga. Anyways as for new tunes, this is what I'm bopping my head to this week:

• Lil' Wayne - I Gotcha
• Megan Rochelle - Heartbreak
• Chris Brown - Poppin' [Remix]

TV

I don't really watch much TV except for sport, I mainly download stuff as most of the good stuff is shown in America months in advance. Good examples would be Lost and Prison Break. The Americans have so far had 6 episodes of Lost and so far they have been OK on the whole. The show is good but soooooo frustrating, just gimmie some damn answers instead of more questions!!!!!! On the other hand Prison Break is up to episode 13 and this show just keeps getting better and better. I don't wanna give anything away for any of the shows so I won't really discuss it but just check out both when they air over here although Lost is already showing on Sky One if I'm not mistaken.

And now for the main attraction!!!! HEROES



This show is sick! Its about these ordinary people who discover that they have powers, yeah very original I know but trust me this show's really good. You have the usual powers of mind reading and teleportation as well as others which I won't ruin for you.

Gaming

Today I've been able to play the latest version of PES on the PSP. Having only played it for a few minutes I can't give a detailed account of it but so far it seems very similar to the last version but this year they've implemented the Master League mode. So then is it worth it??? Maybe not, I've always found PES to be much more enjoyable when you're playing with someone else or with a bunch of your friends all at the same time. The PSP does have wireless connectivity but its just not the same. One game I would recommend is Lumines 2 which is a puzzle game. A new age Tetris you might say. I can't count the amount of times I've picked up my PSP to play this game and say "I'm gonna play for 10 minutes" next thing you know, I've just wasted an hour playing the game. Crazy!!!

More things to look out for

Away from music other things to look out for are:

Yes it's still a long way away but Spidey's back for his 3rd adventure. Mr. Parker has been away for too long especially since the last few comic book movies that I can recall have been rubbish. However Batman Begins was pretty good especially if you've recently seen any of the old Batman films. I saw Batman & Robin again over the holidays....man this film is pathetic, it features Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze. Jus to give you an idea of how bad the film was here's a line from the movie:
"Ice to see you"... Don't think I need to say anymore

Anyways back to Spider-Man 3, the trailer for the film was released just a while ago which can be found HERE

An older trailer was also leaked which shows that Venom will also feature in this film. Looks like Spidey has his hands full with Green Goblin, Sandman & Venom. Oh how will he cope? I guess we'll find out come May next year. Image provided by www.superherohype.com



Smokin' Aces. This looks pretty good so far.
It features Ben Affleck, Ray Liotta, Andy Garcia, Common and last but not least Alicia Keys.
It comes out early next year, check the trailer for it HERE

Jack's back!!!! Yup come January time Jack Bauer returns for another season of 24, back again for another hectic day where he has to save thousands if not millions of lives. Season 5 wasn't as good as the others but still had some sizzle. Let's hope this next season doesn't disappoint!

B Ball

For those who don't know I love basketball. It's something I love to play as well as watch, even more so than football. I've been playing since year 8 and used to play at least once a week but since uni its been hard to get back on it.

Here's a clip of 2006 Slam Dunk Champion - Nate Robinson blocking Yao Ming....
Nate is only 5 foot 9, Yao is 7 foot 6. Click Here

Here's a clip of Lebron James pulling off a nice behind the back, off the glass dunk to himself during warm-ups the other night. Click Here
