Guess whos back, back again Shadys back, tell a friend
I’m pretty excited to share this news because Eminem is one of my favorite hip-hop artists ever. (Can you tell I grew up in the 90s?) A while ago he was spotted in a customized hat with the years of his previous albums and 2013 which set off a whole bunch of speculation from the fans that a new album was in the works. This time the fans were right because apparently he has been in the studio working hard to drop a new album.
Paul Rosenberg the president of Shady records revealed that Eminem is, “ Far into the process… we fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He’s been working on it for some time.” Okay 2013…. But when in 2013?? Rosenberg goes on to say, “It’s safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we’re not exactly sure when. We’ve got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we’re trying to see what else lines up.”
I’ll keep you posted.

First Full Fast 6 Trailer
Wow that’s a lot of F’s up there. How about another pair: f*cking fun! That’s what this trailer looks like. After the Super Bowl’s TV spot, we now have a full trailer for The Fast and The Furious 6. We get a large amount of plot info. The gang’s back together to take down a gang of vehicular criminals. In exchange, they get full pardons. A pretty basic plot for a straight-forward action movie. And don’t get it mixed up. F&F is no longer simply a racing movie, it is a full blown action franchise. We also get a good glimpse at some of the new talent in the movie. Luke Evans as the antagonistic Owen Shaw. Gina Carano also shows off some of the moves that had me pumped for Haywire. Let’s hope this works out better. Take a look for yourself.

In case you missed it… Paperman!
Not too long ago, I wrote a review for the Disney/Pixar film, Wreck-It Ralph. I loved the movie, but I also gushed over the short which showed before the feature. It is a beautiful film which matches computer animation with traditional animation perfectly. If you didn’t have a chance to watch the short in theaters, Disney has done you a favor and put the short online.
Let me know what you thought of it. Also, I’ve been watching a lot of amazing shorts lately, so I may try to do a few posts with great shorts of many varieties. Let me know if you’ve seen (or made) any and if I like it, I’ll post it and share it.
