A Nightmare On Elm Street Film Review

The movie "A Nightmare On Elm Street" a 2010 release by New Line Cinema is a great film. Fans of the horror franchise will love this film. It brings back Freddy Krueger and the world of Freddy to fans all over the world--not to mention the film brings Freddy back for a new breed of young people who just don't remember Freddy so well. The "Nightmare On Elm Street," film series got started back in 1984 with the original film "A Nightmare on Elm Street," which featured actor Johnny Depp and actress Heather Langencamp. The orignal series of films went on to make it to more than 6 films in the series with titles such as "A Nightmare on Elm Street-The Dream Warrior," "A Nightmare on Elm Street-Dream Child," and the cool movie "Freddy's Dead." The best thing was that in 2003 the movie "Freddy vs. Jason" was released, this film united Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhies. The best thing is that the new film is high paced and very exciting. It is really scary. The cast are relatively fresh faced unknowns but that doesn't mean that audiences won't want to watch them fight for their lives every second of the film. The movie is so exciting and fans of "A Nightmare on Elm Street' should be pleased--however, the "new Freddy," looks different, moves different and truly sounds different than he used to at one time. Freddy looks different but it doesn't take too much away from the film as he is still wearing his trademark red and green sweater and yes--yes fans he still has his glove with the sharp knives. The film was produced by Michael Bay. "A Nightmare On Elm Street" hits theaters on April 30th.

ANITA BAKER HEADLINES JazzFest, RETURNS TO THE STUDIO IN NASHVILLE

ANITA BAKER HEADLINES JazzFest, RETURNS TO THE STUDIO IN NASHVILLE

ANITA BAKER HEADLINES JazzFest, RETURNS TO THE STUDIO IN NASHVILLE

Anita Baker will be a headliner at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 25th, and has just started work on a new album in Nashville, planned for release by Blue Note Records later in 2010.

"I'm going to Nashville to mix it up, shake it and see what comes out" says the eight-time Grammy winner with obvious glee.

Baker will be producing the album with George Duke, Nathan East and Daniel Moore, recording in Nashville in part because, she explains, "they still know how to make a record in analog." Baker has some long time friends in Nashville - just last month, when she performed at the TJ Martell Honors Gala there, attendees were surprised to find out that she counts many country stars and personalities among them.

Singing Vince Gill's "Little Liza Jane" at the dinner, Baker was backed by a cohort of Nashville players. Inspired by their performance, she's invited the "badass Nashville cats," as she terms them, to record with her this month alongside NYC and LA session musicians.

The album will also include Baker's collaboration with Snoop Dogg on a "big, lush" version of Curtis Mayfield's "Give You My Love" that she promises "is going to raise eyebrows." The rest of the album will be original material.

Baker is enthusiastic about the upcoming sessions. "I'm turning it up in a lot of ways," she says

Over 75,000 fans enjoyed her 2009 headlining performances at the Essence Festival (New Orleans), Macy's Music Cincinnati and Mt. Diablo Festival in San Francisco, and now they will have the chance to see Anita Baker mix it up live at 5:25 p.m. on Sunday April 25th on JazzFest's Congo Square "My Louisiana" Stage. And what will Ms. Baker play at Jazzfest? "As always, the audience is in charge of the set list, kind of like being at a Grateful Dead show" the star says with a laugh.

Los Angeles, CA, April, 2010-- Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined by leaders of the Hollywood hospitality and tourism industries, launched the new “Visit Hollywood 2010” program today, celebrating landmark anniversaries, the opening of new attractions, the introduction of new and remodeled hotels and the introduction of two new websites offering discounts and special offers to visitors, all kicking off with this evening’s Hollywood Chamber of Commerce “Visit Hollywood Expo” at the Hilton Los Angeles at Universal City.

"Hollywood is one of L.A.’s great gems and for generations, it has been a magnet for visitors from all over the world,’’ said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. “With the recent resurgence of this timeless locale, there has never been a better time to visit Los Angeles and experience all the attractions Hollywood has to offer.’’

Hollywood’s attractions, hotels and restaurants, supported by LA INC., the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, have joined to celebrate a year of “Visit Hollywood 2010,” coinciding with the 50th Anniversary of the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, the 75th Anniversary of Starline Tours, the recent opening of Madame Tussauds Hollywood, the 25th Anniversary of the music world’s landmark, Rock Walk, and the introduction of the world’s largest 3-D experience, the new “King Kong 360 3-D” Created by Peter Jackson attraction and the reopening of new sets and film locations on Universal’s backlot.

Vacation information, discounts and travel packages are available on two websites, www.ExperienceHollywood.com and the official visitors information website of Los Angeles at http://www.discoverLosAngeles.com

As the Hollywood Walk of Fame celebrates its 50th anniversary, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has plans for a yearlong series of celebrations. The idea of creating the Walk of Fame was first conceived in 1953 and seven years later construction began on February 8, 1960. Today it is recognized around the world as a monument to the entertainment industry and draws scores of visitors each year who walk the Walk, taking photos of their favorite stars. Installation ceremonies offer visitors an opportunity to see the entertainment world’s most famous personalities in person.

This summer at Universal Studios Hollywood hearts will pound and survival instincts will go into overload as visitors are caught in the middle of a terrifying struggle between a giant T-Rex and the 8th wonder of the world – King Kong. “King Kong 360

3-D” Created by Peter Jackson is the largest, most intense 3-D experience on the planet. Coupled with the re-imagined Universal backlot, featuring new and newly reconstructed sets for a new generation of moviemakers, the studio tour is now in high definition and offers a once-in-a-lifetime entertainment experience.

Since 1935, Starline Tours has been providing the original sightseeing tours of Hollywood and Los Angeles. The Movie Stars Homes Tour and the Grand Tour of Los Angeles are best-sellers, followed by the Universal Studios Tour and the new hop-on, hop-off Double Decker fun tour which allows guests to conveniently explore Hollywood without the encumbrance of a car.

Madame Tussauds Hollywood will unveil a series of new celebrity figures in 2010 and brings you face to face with more than 120 celebrity lifelike wax figures on replica backdrops of Hollywood’s most iconic films - from the Silver Screen to the Golden era, Crime to Westerns, Action Legends to Super Heroes. This Hollywood hotspot is the only attraction where you can get up close and personal, not only touching, but also taking souvenir pictures with your favorite stars. Situated next to Grauman’s Theatre, it is the ultimate celebrity experience.

Founded in 1985, The Guitar Center Hollywood's RockWalk was created to honor the legends of the music world who have made a lasting and important contribution to music.

The Kodak Theatre, which opened in 2001 on Hollywood Boulevard at Highland Avenue, where the historic Hollywood Hotel once stood, is now home of the Oscars®.

Another significant milestone is the 70th anniversary of the Hollywood Palladium, which first opened October 31, 1940 with a concert by Frank Sinatra and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. The landmark theater recently re-opened following an extensive, multi-million dollar renovation and again serves as a center of Hollywood’s vibrant nightlife.

Offering opulent accommodations befitting Tinseltown’s mystique is the all-new W Hollywood Hotel, which adds 305 luxurious rooms to Hollywood’s line-up of all-star hotels. The glamour and excitement of the world’s movie making capital comes to life at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel & Spa, while the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel captures all the charm of yesteryear coupled with all the fabulous comforts of today. The Universal Sheraton, once home to Telly Savalas, still lives up to its moniker as the “Hotel of the Stars,” while the neighboring Universal Hilton offers spectacular views of the storied Hollywood Hills. Finally, the Hollywood Heights Hotel boasts a contemporary yet casual vibe, where signature touches and an independent spirit caters to individuality.

The Pantages Theater, located steps from the fairytale intersection of Hollywood & Vine, turns 80 years old in 2010. First opened as part of the Fox Theatre chain, the beloved landmark now plays host to award-winning Broadway hits and serves as a favorite shooting location for television shows, movies and music videos.

Numerous fashionable bars, clubs, and popular retail businesses have opened in the area, returning Hollywood to its place as the center of nightlife in Los Angeles.

Hard Rock Café on Hollywood Boulevard, scheduled to open Summer 2010, will be a state-of-the-art facility encompassing more than 20,000 square feet of premier dining and live concert space.

At nearby Universal CityWalk, Los Angeles’ premiere outdoor shopping and restaurant promenade adjacent to Universal Studios Hollywood, film and former “Saturday Night Live” star Jon Lovitz opened a new comedy club, with many of his famous friends occasionally stopping by to try out new material.

Signs of Hollywood's renaissance are everywhere. Many older Hollywood buildings have been converted to lofts and condominiums and visitors to Hollywood will feel they’re in the midst of a bustling, creative community.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce’s mission is to promote and enhance the business, cultural and civic well-being of Hollywood. The membership consists of owners, managers, presidents and other key representatives from a spectrum of businesses and organizations around the Hollywood community.

LA INC. The Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau is a private, non-profit business association whose primary mission is to market and promote Los Angeles as the premier site for leisure travel, meetings and conventions. Though not part of city government, LA INC. is recognized as the city’s official tourism marketing organization.

Holy Rollers Movie Poster

About Holy Rollers:

Holy Rollers is inspired by actual events in the late nineties when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States. It is the story of a young Hasid from an Orthodox Brooklyn community whose neighbor propositions him to transport ‘medicine’ for an Israeli dealer and his girlfriend. He is exposed to the exciting and gritty worlds of Manhattan and Amsterdam nightlife, and as the business grows, his double life begins to rip his family apart and the community becomes suspicious of his illegal activities. Caught between life as a smuggler and the path back to God, he goes on the run, forced to make a fatal decision that could bring the entire operation crashing down.


Official Synopsis:

Holy Rollers is inspired by actual events in the late nineties when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States. Sam Gold (Jesse Eisenberg), a young Hasid from an Orthodox Brooklyn community reluctantly follows the path his family has chosen for him, awaiting a pending arranged marriage and studying to become a Rabbi. A charming neighbor, Yosef Zimmerman (Justin Bartha), senses Sam’s resistance and propositions him to transport ‘medicine’ for Jackie (Danny A. Abeckaser), an Israeli dealer, and his girlfriend, Rachel (Ari Graynor). Sam quickly demonstrates his business skill to his bosses, who instantly take Sam under their wing. Now exposed to the exciting and gritty worlds of Manhattan and Amsterdam nightlife, Sam begins to spiral deeper into their detrimental lifestyle, experimenting with ecstasy and then falling for Rachel. As the business grows, Sam’s double life begins to rip his family apart and the community becomes suspicious of his illegal activities. Sam slowly comes to realize the façade behind the easy money and parties. Caught between life as a smuggler and the path back to God, Sam goes on the run, forced to make a fatal decision that could bring the entire operation crashing down.

BO BICE RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM

BO BICE RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM,
3

Southern Rocker Explores Roots, Country and Gospel
On His Third Solo Album

Due May 18th on
Saguaro Road Records

Nashville, TN --- (April 8, 2010) – American Idol alum Bo Bice will release his third album, aptly titled 3, on May 18th (Saguaro Road Records in association with Bo’s own Sugar Money Records). Soulful southern blues and rock, gospel-like choruses, Americana and a touch of country, the new album is much like Bice himself; irresistibly likeable, filled with easygoing charm and undeniable talent.

“I feel the new CD, 3, is my strongest to date,” says Bo, “filled with a plethora of sounds that show people who the real Bo Bice is.” “There's something for everyone; country, soul, rock & roll...it's like your favorite pair of jeans; it just feels right.” “Bo Bice is an enormously talented singer, songwriter and musician that has forged incredible relationships with the fans,” adds Mike Jason, Senior VP of Audio and Video Retail at Saguaro Road Records, home to Patty Loveless, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Tanya Tucker and Lonestar. “We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with him for the release of 3."

On 3, Bo wrote half of the songs himself and collaborated with other writers on the remainder, playing both acoustic and electric guitar during the recording sessions in his adopted hometown of Nashville. He was joined by Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman and keyboardist AJ Croce, whose father Jim has long been one of Bo’s greatest songwriting influences. Bo also produced five of the album’s songs, with an additional six co-produced with D. Scott Miller.

Bice’s Southern sensibility, earthy vocals and decidedly non-pop performances won over a nation of fans during the fourth season of American Idol, where he landed as the runner-up to Carrie Underwood. His first single, “Inside Your Heaven,” reached #1 on the pop chart when it was released in 2005 and was certified gold after it became the second-highest debuting song of the year. His album (The Real Thing) debuted at #4 shortly afterward and was also certified gold, his 2007 follow-up (See The Light) was ranked #1 by VH-1, and he later sung lead on Santana’s single “Brown Skinned Girl” (certified gold). 3 is Bice’s third album and first for Saguaro Road Records.

VIEW THE VIDEO FOR "MAGIC" HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y0VaztKu50


Los Angeles, CA - April 8, 2010. Singer and dynamite performer, Emii, released her new music video for "Magic" and has reached over 650,000 views in a single day. "Magic" took the #1 spot for Music on YouTube for the day and the #6 spot for overall videos. The video made such an impression that even Lady Gaga and Rihanna subscribed to Emii's YouTube channel!



Emii's first single "Magic" is now available on iTunes. You can purchase it here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/magic-single/id365724507=



Her newly recorded album shows off her powerhouse vocals and her ability to get the whole world dancing. "Magic" is a fun, sexy song that begs the timeless question: Is he the right one for me? Where tracks like "My Zombie Boyfriend" unleash Emii's angst over falling for the wrong guy. "Stiletto" is a dance track that cranks an undeniable beat about 7" designer heels that boys cannot resist. "I loved writing these songs because of the challenge of translating what I was feeling into the melodies and lyrics" says Emii.

Emii started singing as a toddler and, against her parents' wishes, began fronting bands in her early teens. While her friends picked out their prom dresses, Emii perfected her studio recordings. At every stolen moment, she wrote songs and took to the community theater stage like a second home. While in high school she couldn't resist the lure of the big city, shuttling back and forth from Youngstown, Ohio to NYC for auditions and open mic gigs. The dual life came to a halt the day Emii turned 18. She bolted to New York City and never looked back.

"There are very few people who can completely dedicate their lives to music," Emii says. "When you truly live for something, it is natural to be on the kind of path that I am on now."

Emii just returned from performing at many shows at SXSW in Austin, Texas. She also performed at the New York Loves Film Party at this year's Sundance Film Festival where guests such as Katie Holmes, Elijah Wood, Adam Brody and Mark Ruffalo were in awe of her performance. For a behind the scenes look, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phYXx5smwsY

"I loved writing these songs because of the challenge of translating what I was feeling into the melodies and lyrics" says Emii.

Emii started singing as a toddler and, against her parents' wishes, began fronting bands in her early teens. While her friends picked out their prom dresses, Emii perfected her studio recordings. At every stolen moment, she wrote songs and took to the community theater stage like a second home. While in high school she couldn't resist the lure of the big city, shuttling back and forth from Youngstown, Ohio to NYC for auditions and open mic gigs. The dual life came to a halt the day Emii turned 18. She bolted to New York City and never looked back.

"There are very few people who can completely dedicate their lives to music," Emii says. "When you truly live for something, it is natural to be on the kind of path that I am on now."

Emii just returned from performing at many shows at SXSW in Austin, Texas. She also performed at the New York Loves Film Party at this year's Sundance Film Festival where guests such as Katie Holmes, Elijah Wood, Adam Brody and Mark Ruffalo were in awe of her performance.

With the release of Congratulations, MGMT continue to evolve their visionary and groundbreaking style of music. Critics are cheering Congratulations for its sincerity and originality. Spin described the new music as “uncommonly, emotionally honest” while MOJO declared it “the post-punk Brit-psych masterpiece of the year…a reinvention so fully realized” in their 5 star review. MGMT will perform selections from Congratulations when they make their debut appearance on Saturday Night Live on April 24. MGMT also return to perform on The Late Show with David Letterman on May 11.



A video for the song “Flash Delirium” debuted this month giving fans a glimpse into the band’s interpretation of the confusing state of the world in modern times.
