Coming Soon... Trailer Reviews



Movies play an intricate part in our lives as media consumers; to save time, and money, here are the reviews for the trailers of upcoming movies, in a television near you.

1. This Is It
Yes I know that by the time you read this the movie will have been released and will have sold millions of tickets, but it is important to judge a movie of this magnitude, by the trailer and the trailer alone. The farewell tribute to the King, will only be in theaters for two weeks, and is one hundred and eleven minutes long. While I realize that Micheal Jackson died in a some what abrupt and shocking manner, this film seems to fallow a very disturbing and morbid trend. It has been a little over four month since the man died... let the man go. I digress. The trailer showcases MJ's talent through rehearsals of his finally tour. Little to our knowledge this footage would be some of the last ever taken of the pop icon. The trailer sells the movie of the populations fascination with the man and nothing more

** Two stars - Save your self some cash... wait till it comes to HBO

2. 2012
This is one of those previews that throws me off a little bit. The first of the bunch to hit my television screen was short and did not tell me much about the film. What it did do is show massive destruction and multiple explosions. Now everyone knows that those two things make and A+ trailer. But they stop there. The second, and more extensive trailer, showed story line and bad acting; mostly contributed by John Cusack. The Voice reveals to us that the film is based upon the Mayans prediction that the world will come to an end in the year 2012. There is good intention here, but from the second trailer, this looks to be a bust. Remember some times less is more... Thank you Cloverfield.

** Two stars -Again TNT will have it soon enough... I would watch the reviews as they are released though... this could be a sleeper.


3. The Men Who Stare at Goats
George Clooney, need I say more? This trailer, revels two things about the film; first its going to be hilarious, and second well, that's really all I have. From making a goat fall to its side, to using telepathy to crash a satellite, this film has every thing that is expected from a cast including George Clooney and Kevin Spacey. Ninety three minutes of what looks to be gut renching, off the wall comedy generated by the plot line of top secret government trained telepathic agents for the intended use during the cold war, sounds great huh?

***** Five Stars - I'll save a seat for you... I'll be there on opening night!

This is pretty ridiculous!

Boston Dynamics, famous for its robotic pack mule BigDog has finally found its companion in the Petman, a two-legged robot that not only looks like a human but also simulates a real person’s moving motion. We’d read before that something as the Petman was in the making, and today here we are seeing the Petman real, after 13 months of designing phase and a 17 month building time. With the abilities to move exactly like us, heal first and then toe, at speeds of 3.2mph, the US army is currently using the bot to test chemical warfare clothing. Here, to provide a realistic test condition, Petman’s done well to self balance, walk, crawl and perform various other movements, and when inside the clothing, to control temperature, humidity and perspiration when required. Video worth the look after the jump.

Up and Coming Artist of the Week: Kid Cudi


Kid Cudi is a 25 year old rapper from Cleveland, OH. Cudi burst onto the scene a couple of years a go with his mixtape "A Kid Named Cudi". He was promptly signed by Kanye West to G.O.O.D. music. He is coming off the release of his debut album, Man on the Moon: End of Day. It is a deep, thought provoking chronology of his life and emotional journeys. Although it did not produce the harder rap that was on his mixtape, Cudi felt that this was something that he needed to share. Expect great things from him in the future.

Here is Cudi's Sky Might Fall

Since this is the first post of this I thought that we would start off by giving some general songs to give you an idea of what type of music we listen to.
Here at the My World Blog we are big fans of talented artists such as Taylor Swift, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Kid Cudi, Darius Rucker, Jay-Z...Well pretty much anything that tickles the ear drum.

So here are a few favorite songs to jam out to...



NFL recap, fantasy and such


Since it is Monday, lets take a look at what happened in the NFL yesterday.

The unbeatens were reduced to a solid 3 this week, as Minnesota lost a hard fought game against the Steelers. A lot of credit goes out to Pittsburgh's D who get after Favre from the start and had him rattled. (Right courtesy of NY Times). Personally I am pretty high on the Saints right now. Their defense forces turnovers, and their offense is clearly unstoppable outscoring their opponents 238 to 127 so far.
Other teams that caught my attention were the Packers, Cardinals, and Bengals. Wait...The Bengals?!?! Yep they are for real. Cedric Benson has come out of nowhere, or maybe just is in a place where they actually encourage offense (see Chicago Bears). They have caught fire since their fluke loss to the Broncos in week one, and seem like a playoff team. Their Defense is solid and Ochocinco and Co. are playing well. The Cardinals thoroughly dominated the Giants even though the Giants lucked into a few scores. They are on the rise in the worst division in football. And lastly, my bias, the Packers. They finally got the running game going against the lowly Browns, and the defense was a brick wall against anemic Derek Anderson. That was a great confidence booster for the Vikings game next week.

Fantasy stars: Pretty much take you pick between Peyton Manning, Brady, or Rodgers. All turned in solid games of 3 TD's. But, the star of the week is going to have to go to Cedric Benson in his domination of the Bears. 37 carries, 189 yards and a TD. Not a bad day for someone who almost saw his career die in Chicago.

Well thats it for now. Quick update, Eagles are on their way to redeeming their loss to the Raiders against the generous Redskins (If you need a win just give them a call). Eagles 7, Redskins 0.
