Furious 7 – See You Again
Wiz Khalifa (ft. Charlie Puth)

By | Films, Music, Music Videos | No Comments

Furious 7 opened in cinemas worldwide on April 3 and scored the fourth highest opening weekend of all time. Fans who went to the cinema heard See You Again when it played over a Paul Walker montage at the end of the film. The late actor tragically passed away in a car crash in November 2013 when he was just 40 years old.

After the blockbuster debut weekend, Vin Diesel decided that the only way to top the tribute at the film’s end was to share the video. He posted the video on Facebook with the words: Pablo, this weekend you turned the world into a family… Thanks for the love…

Just like the movie, the music video is also dedicated to Walker and the Facebook post featured a link where fans could donate to Walker’s Reach Out Worldwide charity – a charity thats provides critical help to those in crises. You can donate here.

The music video, taken from the film’s soundtrack honours Walker’s legacy as Brian O’Conner, showing footage over the last 14 years, from the most recent edition of the film and the six others as well. Charlie Puth, who sings on the track, shared the video with a tweet saying: “7 million hits in 2 hours. i know you are watching down on all of us paul, the whole world is thinking of you.”

Mad Max: Fury Road – New trailer

By | Films | No Comments

So, we’re pretty sure all the intense explosive action scenes were given away in this new trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road, but we don’t really mind, because wow! Director George Miller places the sequel under a new kind of genre “Western On Wheels,” which couldn’t be a more accurate description. It sees Tom Hardy replace Mel Gibson as anti-hero “Mad” Max Rockatansky.

The movie is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14 as part of the Official Selection, Out of Competition. The film opens in cinemas worldwide on May 14 and May 15 in the US.

We certainly aren’t going to miss Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron fighting for survival, conquering the impossible and basically kicking ass as they go about restoring order in this dangerous, apocalyptic, nightmare world.

Spectre – Official Trailer Nº1

By | Films | No Comments

He’s back! The long-awaited first trailer for Spectre dropped yesterday (March 27) and every time we watch it we get chills and goosebumps – it’s so dark and creepy! It reveals that Bond has a personal secret that someone is onto. We see him in the Austrian Alps, at a funeral attended by Monica Belucci’s Bond woman and attending a private meeting headed by Christoph Waltz’s character, who you only see in shadow.

So… Bond is disturbed by a cryptic message from his past whilst the all-evil terrorist organisation SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) starts to rear it’s head as a global threat.

There are hints about the involvement of the iconic villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld who was the head of the organisation in the Sean Connery days and also appeared in George Lazenby’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.Bond fans have speculated that Waltz will be playing the new version of Blofeld.

Spectre also co-stars Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Andrew Scott, and Dave Bautista. Directed by Sam Mendes this 24th instalment of the Bond franchise was filmed in Mexico City, Morocco and Austria and opens in theatres November 6. Get the Martini’s ready!

Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron

By | Films | No Comments

In the latest trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron we get to see super-powered twins Scarlet Witch and Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver showcase their awesome powers and receive their official welcome into the Avengers team by Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner).

Previous trailers have hinted that Scarlet Witch’s powers have a direct influence over Black Widow’s visions – which could have a devastating effect on the Avengers team.

The newbies are played by Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and their arrival comes just in the nick of time as The Avengers team appear just slightly over-challenged with their latest crisis; the retaliation of an all-powerful artificial intelligence robot trying to eradicate the human race.

Joss Whedon is back as writer and director of the movie, although he has hinted that this could be his final outing for Marvel.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is probably the most star-studded Marvel movie ever, with Don Cheadle, Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba and Anthony Mackie joining veterans Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans.

The movie opens on April 24 in the UK and May 1 in the US.

Jennifer Lopez – Feel The Light

By | Films, Music, Music Videos | No Comments

J.LO is a space-goddess in her newest music video Feel The Light. Directed by Hype Williams it is jam-packed with snippets from the movie Home which the song was created for.

The 3D animated feature film, directed by Tim Johnson and produced by DreamWorks, is based on Adam Rex’s children’s books The True Meaning of Smekday. In a nutshell, a well-intended alien race named Boov come down to our earth in hopes of hiding from their mortal enemy. They start relocating us to a Desert Planet, thinking they are doing us a favour. The real fun adventure begins when a teenage girl (voice by Rihanna), manages to avoid being captured. She’s on the run, and searching for her Mother (voice by Jennifer Lopez). Along the way she happens upon a banished alien who has accidentally notified his people’s enemies of their whereabouts.

There’s an amazing voice over cast including Steve Martin, who plays Captain Smek, the leader of the Boov race. Jim Parsons who plays Oh, the banished Boov and Matt L. Jones as one of the other Boovs. The whole production seems pretty amazing and Barack Obama even visited the DreamWorks studios during the making of the film, and met with Steve and Jim who were recording lines at the time.

Celebrities who spend millions on making a difference

By | Featured, Films, Music

This is a list of the top ten stars that utilise their position of fame and fortune to make a positive change in the world. They donate millions of dollars every year and dedicate massive amounts of their time to the causes they believe in.

en-charitycelebrities-1 en-charitycelebrities-2

Angelina Jolie – Hollywood’s highest paid actress is a fully-fledged diplomat who uses her star power to draw significant attention to issues which may otherwise slip through the mainstream press. Jolie represents the UN Refugee Agency to other diplomats, governments and officials around the world. The oscar-winning actress first became personally aware of worldwide humanitarian crises while filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia. She promotes various causes, including conservation, education, and women’s rights, and is most noted for her advocacy on behalf of refugees as a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). As a public figure, Jolie has been cited as one of the most influential and powerful people in the American entertainment industry, a very useful tool when your goal is to make the world a better place.

Since 2001, Jolie has been on field missions around the world and met with refugees in more than 20 countries, including Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, Ecuador, Kosovo, Kenya, Namibia, Sri Lanka, North Caucasus, Jordan, Egypt, New Delhi, Costa Rica, Chad, Syria, Iraq and Haiti. The political meetings she attends and speaks at represents the powerful stature she holds in the world; speaking alongside international political leaders and highly influential intellectuals. As well as all her good work Jolie donates huge amounts of money; a large percentage of her earnings goes to all the various organisations and causes that she believes in so strongly. The Maleficent star reportedly donates all proceeds from any photographs the press buy of her and her family to charity, including the whopping $5 million received for her wedding photos.

en-charitycelebrities-3 en-charitycelebrities-4

Elton John – Sir Elton has seen many of his close friends die from HIV/AIDS over the years, and established the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) in 1992 to try to stem the destruction the disease causes around the world. To raise extra money for this foundation he holds a ball every year in his own home. The White Tie and Tiara party brings in a lot of cash from its celebrity guest list as do his post-Grammy and Oscar parties. He began his fund raising for HIV/AIDs back in the mid-80’s having lost many dear friends to the disease. EJAF has managed to raise more than $125 million which not only provides support for sufferers but funds prevention and education plus assistance on reducing discrimination and prejudice against those living with it. Elton not only raises the funds himself but he also forks out a lot of his own money towards all different charities. In 1997 $40 million was raised by the version of Candle in The Wind which he released in honour of Princess Diana just after her death. In 2004 he gave $43 million to various organisations. In 2008 he provided 120 motorbikes for doctors and nurses to be able to reach patients in the remote areas in Lesotho, Africa. All this makes Elton one of the most generous celebrities in the world.

en-charitycelebrities-5 en-charitycelebrities-6

Bono – The U2 frontman is not only the leader of a band he is a leader in the fight against poverty and is regularly in contact with world leaders assisting his mission to improve the ways of the world. After meeting with President Sarkozy of France the president not only promised to restore 20 million Euros cut from the Global Fund to fight AIDS TB and malaria, he also said he would send through a plan to restore promised French aid trajectories in the next few weeks.
He has helped to launch many campaigns such as the ONE Campaign, DATA (Debt AIDS Trade Africa), (RED) (another AIDS charity) and EDUN (a clothing company which creates trade with poverty stricken countries). His early work began in Ethiopia where he and his wife created an education programme, then Nicaragua and El Salvador with the aim to help children. He helped to organise Amnesty International’s Conspiracy Of Hope tour in 1986. Following this he became involved in the Band Aid, Live Aid and later Live 8 events and projects with Bob Geldof. He often used his music to deliver messages and has written countless poignant songs with political themes, such as anti Apartheid song Silver and Gold. Bono received a knighthood from the Queen in 2007 and has been nominated for three Nobel Peace prizes.

en-charitycelebrities-7 en-charitycelebrities-8

Oprah Winfrey – Oprah is a giver. She has truly established herself as an altruistic person dedicated to improving others’ lives. She has donated millions to many different charities such as the Clinton Foundation, Projet Cuddle and Free The Children, but generally focusses on three self-founded causes; The Angel Network, The Oprah Winfrey Foundation and The Oprah Winfrey Operating Foundation. The Angel Network, which she has used her talk show to publicise, is a charity designed to fund specific projects all over the world, such as Rebuilding the Gulf Coast and an Academy for girls in South Africa. ALL proceeds received by this foundation go towards such projects. The Oprah Winfrey Foundation is funded by an endowment and run exclusively by Oprah herself. She dedicates so much of her time and money to making the world a better place to live, helping others, and rebuilding broken lives. It is claimed that in her will she has left $1 billion to charity, so not only is she one of the most generous and conscientious celebrities on the planet she has become one of the greatest philanthropists of this Century.

en-charitycelebrities-9 en-charitycelebrities-10

Ellen Degeneres – She lives up to her generous sounding name supporting many different organisations around the world and has won many awards for her charity work. She launched the Small Change Campaign alongside actor Ben Affleck to help benefit feeding America. She currently supports thirty-four different charities and non-profit organisations varying from Red Cross to STOMP Out Bullying. During the month of October, Ellen’s, Ellen for the Cure, campaign runs on her show to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Ellen is also widely known for her love of animals and her attempts to work with animal rights. Her show alone has managed to raise more than $50 million which she donated to various good causes.

Ellen uses her talk show as a way to help struggling families and individuals. Ellen has been included in TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women and Entertainment Weekly’s 50 Most Powerful Entertainers. At the end of every episode Ellen finishes by saying, “Be kind to one another”, which promotes, not only being kind, but also treating everyone fairly and equally. Though they may not be traditional, Ellen DeGeneres does many things in her life that make her an excellent example of a modern day prophet.

en-charitycelebrities-11 en-charitycelebrities-12

Brad Pitt – The other half of the Brangelina super duo is also no stranger to a charitable attitude. The father of six has become increasingly involved in environmental projects in the States and globally. He utilises his knowledge of architecture to assist in building environmentally friendly structures all over the world. Following the destruction brought by Hurricane Katrina, he became involved in designing and building eco-friendly, affordable large scale housing sites to help those affected by the disaster. “We’ve got to push to get these levees taken care of in the correct fashion,” Pitt told reporters at a news conference in the hurricane-ravaged working class neighbourhood. Brad generously donated $5 million. In October 2008, the first six homes were completed. In March 2009, Pitt met with US President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, promoting his concept of “green housing” as a national model, and discussed possibilities of federal funding. His commitment to aiding humanitarian causes all over the world is admirable and tireless, in 2006 he and his wife Angelina Jolie (co-founders of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation) gave over $8 million to various charities such as Doctors Without Borders, a UN refugee agency, African relief organisations, he doesn’t just give money, he also gives his time and resources and care.

en-charitycelebrities-13 en-charitycelebrities-14

George Clooney – Founder of Not On Our Watch, George Clooney seems to have one of the most charitable hearts in Hollywood, alongside his co-founders and co-stars of Ocean’s Eleven Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle and Matt Damon, plus producer Jerry Weintraub. This organisation is against genocide in Sudan and focuses on helping the poverty stricken sufferers in the affected areas. Human rights activist Clooney has visited the region and spoken personally with victims of rape, torture, poverty and desperation. Thanks to his influence and the pull of the famous faces involved the charity has donated millions of dollars (substantial amounts of which came from Clooney himself) to the affected people alongside the Untied Nations World Food Programme.

His belief in the cause stretches as far as auctioning himself in order to raise funds for charity. At the movie premiere party for Ocean’s 13 he offered up his own personal time to hang out with the highest bidder, all proceeds of which went to Realising The Dream, which continues the work started by Dr. & Mrs King to help eradicate poverty and injustice. Thanks to his dedication, support and consistent donations he was named United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2008 to help raise awareness for peacekeeping around the world. Clooney also supports Bono’s charity the ONE Campaign which fights against poverty and is a trustee for the United Way, he took part in the Tribute to Heroes telethon supporting the victims of 9/11 and even got arrested during a peaceful protest at the Sudanese embassy in Washington D.C.

en-charitycelebrities-15 en-charitycelebrities-16

Paul MacCartney – The legendary Beatles member has done his fair share of fund raising, beginning back when he sadly lost his wife Linda to breast cancer. Inspired by her loss and in her honour he hosted PETA’s Party of the Century gala in 1999, carrying on her care work for the protection of animals. He then went on to use his talents to raise money when he wrote and released an album from which the proceeds were donated to The Garland Appeal, a fund aiding cancer patients. He has also taken part in many fundraising concerts including Live Aid, Live 8 and Concert for New York City and Concerts for the People of Kampuchea.
He supports countless charities including Adopt-A-Minefield, to which he donated $1 million which he received as payment for performing a private concert.
Inspired by his late wife and his daughters, Mary and Stella, Paul is a Patron of the Vegetarian Society: “As Patron, I am more than pleased and proud to be associated with the Vegetarian Society and to show my support for its work. If you think about it, what could be better than enjoying great tasting food that is not only good for your health, but also far better for the planet and the creatures that live with us upon it?” Good old Macca has got his charitable fingers in many pies, vegetarian ones only of course!

en-charitycelebrities-17

Madonna – “It has pretty much taken over my life, and I’m so grateful it has…I’ve started an organisation called Raising Malawi…and any of your help would be greatly appreciated by me.” – Madonna. In 2006 Madonna and Michael Berg founded Raising Malawi, a non-profit organisation supporting community-based projects that provide vulnerable children and caregivers with nutritious food, proper clothing, secure shelter, formal education, targeted medical care, emotional care and psychosocial support. In addition, Raising Malawi supports non-government foundations that offer impoverished families with innovative opportunities for sustainability such as Millennium Promise (a non-profit which works towards the halving extreme poverty in Africa by 2015) and International Medical Corps (a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organisation dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs). For every dollar that is raised and donated to Raising Malawi Madonna matches it with one from her own pocket. She also works closely with SocialVibe which is a social media utility encouraging big brands to sponsor and benefit causes of their choice. She actively gives money to many causes, many relating to children, and is a dedicated patron of Children of Peace.

Happy Birthday to Bryan Cranston!

By | Films, Music Videos

Former Breaking Bad star, Bryan Cranston, celebrates his 59th birthday today. The show may be over, and Cranston may never have another role to equal that one, but Breaking Bad was undeniably masterful and it will certainly be watched for many years to come. His legacy is set!

bryan-cranston-Creation5-3

“Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen – ever.” That comes from an email Anthony Hopkins sent to Bryan Cranston. We’re in total agreement. But even without Walter White, Bryan Cranston is a great actor and comic. We’ve collected together a few of our favourite Breaking Bad related clips.

Everybody Needs Somebody to Love

By | Films, Music | No Comments

#ThrowbackThursday. Today we are remembering the late, great John Belushi – American comedian, actor and musician – with the wonderful song ‘Everybody Needs Somebody to Love’ from the Blues brothers movie. He is best known as one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live – where his intense energy and raucous attitude was on full display – his role in the film Animal House and his recordings and performances as one of the Blues Brothers.

Belushi died on March 5, 1982 in Hollywood, California at the Chateau Marmont, after being injected with, and accidentally overdosing on, a mixture of cocaine and heroin (a “speedball”) at the age of 33. His tombstone reads “I may be gone, but rock n roll lives on.” An unmarked tombstone in an undisclosed location marks his final resting place. He is also remembered on the Belushi family stone marking his mother’s grave at Elmwood Cemetery in River Grove, Illinois. This stone reads, “He gave us laughter.”
