Tron Legacy

Tron Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous. The official trailer can be seen above, recently premiering at the San Diego Comic Con.

Follow Friday: MeLo-X

I gave you a brief intro to this rapper / singer / DJ / producer / blogger the other day. Now, as promised, I give you more music. Last year MeLo-X delivered one of the best mixtapes I've ever heard, Mustafa's Renaissance. As you are sure to find out, this mix is far from the average mixtape you've been listening to; it actually sounds like a REAL album. In my opinion, it sounds better than a number of albums in the stores. Take a listen; be enlightened.

Download Here

ps: Follow Fridays are about to get real serious around here. I've been holding out on the goods, but you shall soon see. The world of music and art is so much better than what MTV, BET, and your local clear channel radio station would have you believe.

Follow Friday: Jade

Born and raised in Brooklyn, a preacher's kid, Jade grew up in a non-traditional Puerto Rican household. Music is something that came very naturally to Jade early on. At an early age she began to sing in places outside the confines of her bathroom, and it wasn’t long after that, she began to write her own songs and create her own soundtrack. "It is the process of telling stories," which she says, "is one of the most amazing gifts anyone can have." I would describe her sound as a weird incarnation of Nelly Furtado.

Her latest mixtape, "Its My Heart, Cookie", can be downloaded HERE.

Kelly Clarkson 'Already Gone'

So I'm sure you've all heard how upset Kelly Clarkson is over her newest song "Already Gone". It seems that Ryan Tedder, lead singer of OneRepublic, gave Beyonce a very similar track that she turned into her song "Halo". “No one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinkin’ ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to,’ ” Kelly says. “No, they’re just gonna be sayin’ I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said, ‘I don’t understand. Why would you do that?’ “ I have one question for Kelly: do you not listen to the radio or watch music videos? Evidently she would have heard Beyonce's version by now. Even though you got jipped, be glad. Now you're back in the spotlight, and I'm sure everyone is interested to hear the other six songs you wrote with Tedder to see if he bit off anything else he previously created. That means more album sales!

Kristinia DeBarge 'Exposed'

I wanted to do a review of this album because there is a fair amount of hype around this young one. Not only is she a member of the legendary DeBarge family, people are also throwing around comparisons between her and Rihanna [which is understandable after listening to the lead single, Goodbye]. I wont say that this chick is without talent, but I will say that the lip-synced, heavily produced performance on So You Think You Can Dance a few weeks ago had me a bit skeptical. Is Kristinia DeBarge just as manufactured as the early Rihanna? I think so. The only thing that separates the two is that Kristinia can actually sing! As with any other 19 year old music act, I didn't expect her to have much writing credit for her album. And my suspicions were proved correct as she is listed as a co-writer only on two tracks, "Cried Me A River" and "Its Gotta Be Love", with Babyface. After about halfway through the album its clear that Kristinia is more comparable to Jordan Sparks who both worked with front man to OneRepublic, Ryan Tedder. Over all, the album is OK. Its good for kids to listen to [which explains the heavy rotation on the Disney channel], but as always, I'm more so interested in longevity. What will the Billboard charts say next week? What amazing things will this album yield? And I know I'm jumping the gun, but what will the next album sound like? How long will she keep the squeaky clean image? We shall see ladies and gents, we shall see.

Follow Friday: Danielle Polanco a.k.a. Danielle Ninja

Ladies and gents, I give you Follow Friday. Based loosely on the idea started by Twitter, each Friday I will introduce you to people in various industries whom I think will enhance your life. We start with Danielle Polanco. Unarguably most recognized for staring opposite Omarion in his 2006 hit music video "Touch", and for her supporting role in Step Up 2 the Streets, Danielle is one of the dance industry's elite dancers who, by the ripe age of 23, has built an extensive and impressive resume. Her unusual combination of hip-hop, popping, and voguing has gained her much attention in the music industry. A few of her video appearances include Beyonce's "Check On It" (2005), Janet Jackson's "So Excited" (2006), Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" (and damn near every other video off B'day)(2007), Usher "Love In This Club" (2008), Chris Brown's "Forever" (2008), and Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent" (2008).

Click here to view an interview she did a few years ago. Danielle Polanco can now be seen on Broadway in "West Side Story".

Alice in Wonderland

From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure Alice in Wonderland, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen's reign of terror. The drug references should be hilarious lol.
