When Spartacus: Blood and Sand premiered on television last year it was met with much critical praise. It was a mix of Gladiator and 300 and pushed the boundaries of television. Filled with violence, sex, blood and gore, the show attracted a more mature audience. Due to the success of the show, a prequel was announced, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

Usher's new song, 'Hot Toddy', hit the internet today. The song is off Usher's upcoming album Versus, his new EP which is set to drop on August 24, 2010. Versus is a follow up to Raymond vs. Raymond which was Usher's sixth studio album.

Killers is the new action comedy from director Robert Luketic starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl. The film tells the story of Jen (Heigl) who is on vacation with her family when she meets Spencer (Kutcher). The two meet through an awkward encounter in the elevator. A few short scenes and some unconvincing chemistry later, the two are married and living a quiet suburban life.

If you remember Quarantine, you may or may not know that it was yet another American butchering of a foreign movie. In this case, it was a butchering of a Spanish horror titled Rec. Well, now Spain has come out with a sequel to Rec. Now the question of whether or not Rec 2 suffered because of the American remake remains.

In an all too familiar fashion, we get yet another PG-13 exorcism movie revolving around a young girl in a, yup you guessed it, white gown, who is believed to be possessed by a demon. If that didn't elicit a yawn then wait, there's more. Director Daniel Stamm attempts to spice things up by shooting the whole thing documentary style. What we have here folks is a recipe for disaster.

Casual racism, when used appropriately, can be very funny and of course when creating the world of the 60's is entirely justified in the context of Mad Men. It is the evening Muhammed Ali/Sonny Liston 'phantom punch' fight, the guys of the office are psyched and in an offhand comment Don's elder secretary claims: "I don't see the point of it, if I wanted to see two negros fight I'd just throw a dollar bill out of my window."

The role of Spider-Man for the upcoming reboot of the series has finally been cast! According to Blue Sky Disney Josh Hutcherson (Journey To The Center of the Earth) has been cast in the role. Many names had been circling around the role for a while including Jamie Bell and Anton Yelchin. Most people were thinking the role would go to Bell, I for one hoped that it would.

In what is easily the funniest movie of the year, Russell Brand brings his Aldous Snow character back to the silver screen for a second time. If the name Aldous Snow sounds familiar it’s probably because you’ve seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a film where Brand played the same character. Turns out Mr. Snow was popular enough to get his own film and it comes in the form of Get Him To The Greek.

Well this didn't take long. Not even a week after LeBron James signed with the Heat we already have a song about it. The song 'We Already Won' comes to us courtesy of the rap/hip-hop star Flo Rida and features Billy Blue, Brisco, Brianna, Ballgreezy and Picalo. The song isn't particularly good but I just think it's funny how not only did someone make a song about it but that it came out so quickly.

Finally we're starting to get a look at what the season is going to revolve around. All the character's are easing into their story arcs for the season and it looks like things are going to get pretty interesting. Episode 7-04, 'Tequila Sunrise' premiered last night and once again the show gave us another fantastic episode.

According to Yahoo, pictures have been released of Jay-Z and Beyonce's newest purchase, a yacht. The Italian boat is said to be 55 metres in length and cost a hefty cost $330, 000 per week or it can be purchased for $40 million.

Most people know by now that Jean-Claude Van Damme turned down a role in Sylvester Stallone's latest film, The Expendables. Most likely he's kicking himself due to the film's fantastic opening weekend ($36.5 million) and the great success it has found with audiences. Now the real reason that he turned down the role has been made known.

The egotistical genius. The college dropout who took over the music industry with mere heart and dedication. Kanye West got his opportunity to work in the music industry by creating instrumentals for local artists in the Chicago area. His unique style and mix of 70’s like melodies attracted the likes of Jay-Z, Janet Jackson and Common just to name a few.

Dinner For Schmucks seems promising upon first glance. It invites us to a meal with some very talented comedians and it looks to be an entertaining experience. Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Zach Galifianakis and Jermaine Clement make up what is one of the strongest ensembles for a comedy that I’ve seen in a while. With Jay Roach, the man responsible for Austin Powers and Meet The Parents behind the camera, Dinner For Schmucks did have potential. Unfortunately when it comes down to it, the film teases us with a satisfying appetizer but just isn’t able to deliver on the main course.

After all the hype, hoopla and speculation the 2010 NBA Draft finally graced us.  This year has undeniably ushered in one of the best dressed group of ballplayers, however will they be able to step up thier games and flourish in the next level

Looks like a sequel to the hit film 300 is happening after all. The Playlist is reporting that director Zack Snyder has completed a writing deal for the comic book Xerxes, which is a prequel to 300.

Kanye West recently premiered his new song 'See Me Now' featuring Beyonce. The song will be on Kanye's upcoming album which will hit store shelves on November 16, 2010. The track, featuring Beyonce and Charlie Wilson, was produced by Lex Luger and No I.D.

What is Vince doing with his life? Honestly, he's on the brink of a major movie deal and he's just making stupid decisions. Sasha was obviously going to poorly influence him and if he stays on the course he's currently on, he's going to end up crashing. As the episode ended we saw Vince, naked, passed out on the side of the pool. I'm going to guess there's nothing seriously wrong with him but he's still a mess.

The highly anticipated 'Power' remix has now been released. The original song was released back in May and now we have the remix. Featuring Jay-Z and Swiss Beatz, this is one hell of a remix. I loved the original but the remix is even better.

Predators, the upcoming film based on the 1980's film series, is opening in theatres next week. The film stars Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne and Topher Grace. Despite the fact that the film isn't even out yet, director Nimrod Antal is already talking about a possible sequel and how he'd love to make one.

Director Neil Marshall was once Hollywood’s next big thing. Dog Soldiers put his name out there and The Descent had people talking. After the release of The Descent, many hailed him as the wunderkind of British film. Moviegoers were excited to see where Marshall would go next and many were looking forward to another fresh and exciting take on the horror genre. Following The Descent, Marshall put out Doomsday in 2008.

Operation Endgame is a strange film, to say the least. Boasting a respectable ensemble cast and an interesting premise, the film does show promise. While it never received a wide release in theatres, the film is now out on Blu Ray and audiences now have the chance to view this eccentric hodgepodge in high definition. Does Operation Endgame turn out to be the hidden gem that many were hoping it to be? Or does the film deserve its straight to DVD status?

"Hip Hop is dead" is a phrase you often hear these days, and with good reason. The stuff that comes out now just cannot match up to hip hop's golden era of the late 80s through the late 90s. However, with the debut of the Rock the Bells Festival 2010, we are reminded of just how good hip hop was in it's classic era.

Shrek Forever After is the final chapter in the very popular and well known Shrek series. In my opinion, ever since the first Shrek, the films have been going downhill. The first Shrek was great, and a movie I truly loved. The second and third Shrek films were considerably less enjoyable, thus, I did not have high hopes for Shrek Forever After.

Well, Eli Roth is horrible behind the camera. "Inglourious Basterds" proved that if he does anything with film, he should be acting. After all, with films like "Cabin Fever" and the "Hostel" movies under his belt, it's a surprise that he has any fans of his movies. They just seem like something people would watch and possibly buy as examples of what not to do when making a film. Well, now he's producing an exorcism movie.

The Switch is a movie that follows the script of the standard romantic comedy to a tee. Throw in Jennifer Aniston, who I believe now only makes these types of movies, and hey, you have a guarantee in the rom-com department. I hadn't initially heard of The Switch, but within seconds of hearing the basic premise, I basically knew how it would all play out.

A couple days ago, Travie McCoy released the music video for his song 'We'll Be Alright'. The song is off his latest album, Lazarus. McCoy, the singer for Gym Class Heroes, recently launched a solo career and he's been pretty successful with it. Most of you probably know him for his hit single 'Billionaire' or as being Katy Perry's old boyfriend.

Paris Hilton phoned police after seeing an armed bandit holding two knives and banging at her windows.

For the latest G.O.O.D Friday, Kanye gives us a new track from his upcoming album, 'Devil In A New Dress'. For the first time in a while Kanye goes in alone on the song. He takes on all the verses and there are no guest on the track.

As another week at the Jersey Shore begins, the gang heads out to the club. Ronnie is acting wild again and Sitch tries to give him the I.F.F (I’m Fucked Foundation) hand signal. Sitch explains that Ronnie has to get his act together because right now he’s the president of the IFF.

Chiddy Bang, maybe you've heard of them, maybe you haven't. People who follow hip-hop and rap closely will undoubtedly be familiar with the name but for the more mainstream audience the name still may be foreign.

The Summer of 2010 is now coming to a close. With only a few days until September starts, the summer movie season is winding down. It’s time to close down the cottages, cover up the pools and take your mind off the word vacation. Back in June the summer looked quite promising. A couple big blockbusters were lined up and it looked like it would be a promising summer.

While watching Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade, I realized two things. First, I learned about the fallacy of composition – the theory that says the whole will equal the sum of its parts. Second, I learned that sometimes you have to look past what’s wrong with a film and see it for what it is.

The player nicknamed STAT (Standing Tall And Talented) should now begin calling himself Standing Tall And Jewish. Yes people, believe it, basketball fans have just discovered that Amare Stoudemire is part of the "Jew Crew". After recently amplifying his interest towards the religion, Amare is in pursuit of learning more about his cultural and religious roots by traveling to the Holy Land.

In honor of the upcoming film The Expendables, we've decided to take a look at ten of the best 'guy' movies. The Expendables which stars a whole slew of big name action stars looks to offer a testosterone fueled film with over the top action. Behind the camera (and in front) is Sylvester Stallone who's a bonafide action star himself and he has assembled quite the cast for this outing. Jason Statham, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis and more will make appearances here and The Expendables is sure to be the 'guy' movie of the summer.
