It takes almost exactly a half hour for the first explosion to go off in White House Down . And from there, none of us are safe. Washington, D.C., is under attack — the White House, to be exact — and it’s up to a down-on-his-luck wannabe Secret Service agent in a tank top to save the day and restore order to the People’s House. Wait a second, didn’t we just see this movie? Indeed we did. March’s Olympus Has Fallen told a similar story. But […]

Drews & Don’ts: 6 Karaoke Songs With (Sort of) Hilarious Lyric Flubs
As you may or may not know, writing for Popblerd is merely what I do during the day; at night, I dive headfirst into the glamorous world of karaoke, where I make my money congenially badgering people into singing in front of strangers. (I also do the “Cupid Shuffle”, like, a lot. It’s a dance comprised of four simple steps, which really speaks to my whiteness dancing abilities.) But the simple fact remains that, while karaoke has gained a lot […]

“Due Date” Official Trailer: Funniest Movie of the Year?
I’m kind of weird with movies. I can’t recall too many films that I didn’t enjoy, but I’m also not an active theater-goer. Blame it on me being cheap, blame it on me having no attention span. I actually don’t think I’ve seen one movie in a theater this year (except for “Howl”, which was a premiere, so that’s different…kind of). The first movie of 2010 that might get me to sit in a theater for two hours and eat […]
Foxx & Timberlake Team Up: Can They Produce a "Winner"?
If you’d have told me that the dude who played Ugly Wanda on “In Living Color” would have a Grammy and an Oscar by the time 2010 rolled around, I would’ve either laughed in your face or asked me to pass you the joint you were smoking. But here we are, in 2010, and Jamie Foxx is an accomplished recording artist and actor-one of only a handful of artists who has recently had success in music and film. Justin Timberlake […]

They assembled a group of 45 artists-most of whom were undeniable legends (Ray Charles, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Paul Simon, Tina Turner…even Steve Perry, Kenny Loggins and Hall & Oates), and people worldwide opened their hearts and wallets to donate to the cause. “We Are the World” became a #1 smash […]
