Video: ‘Last Airbender’ Director M. Night Shyamalan Doesn’t Respond Well To Being Called Out

Posted: 19 Jul 2010 02:37 PM PDT

Here's an interesting little bit for the growing number of movie fans who have wondered just what has happened to director M. Night Shyamalan over the years.

Now that The Last Airbender has arrived, leaving in its wake one of the biggest collection of negative reviews ever seen, everyone wants to know why such a major decline in quality has taken place and why Shyamalan keeps getting to make more movies. One reporter during a press conference in Mexico City decided to stand up and ask the director -- with the utmost professionalism, I might add -- what we've all wanted to ask him. Shyamalan didn't take it so well.

Click over to the other side to check out the video now!

In case you have trouble making out what's being said in the video below, here's the basic idea. The question that the reporter asks is "Your movies have been very personal. However, the audience has lost its faith in your work, with Lady in the Water and many of your more recent productions. Airbender feels like you want to captivate the audiences again by becoming more commercial. Am I right?" [...]

Movie Review: Highwater

Posted: 19 Jul 2010 01:11 PM PDT

Surfing is one of those sports that can be mind-boggling to watch. With one massive wave, the very best in the world can deliver a beautiful and hypnotic run...or crumble under the powerful water beast in devastating fashion. The fact that these athletes need to not only be incredibly well-balanced and dexterous but that they need to wait for nature's fury to collaborate with them in order to create the perfect run makes it all the more compelling.

Each year, the planet's biggest, brightest, and up and coming talents gather at the ultimate proving ground: Oahu's North Shore in Hawaii. They call it the "7 Mile Miracle" and it's where the Triple Crown takes place starting around Halloween and ending just before Christmas. Three events to close out each professional surfing season and the highest level of competition among 400 participants in pursuit of eternal glory.

Highwater is a documentary from director Dana Brown that gives us a deep-rooted look into just what goes down during the Triple Crown. The director previously made the acclaimed Step Into Liquid, and he is the son of surf documentary legend Bruce Brown (The Endless Summer). [...]

CONFIRMED: ‘Beavis And Butt-Head’ Set For Return To MTV

Posted: 19 Jul 2010 11:40 AM PDT

Earlier this month a rumor made the rounds that Mike Judge might be working on 30 brand new episodes of his 1990s animated hit series, Beavis and Butt-Head.

The New York Post has made fans of the show who have longed for a return very happy today. Sources from MTV have confirmed that these rumors are not rumors at all, and that Judge is indeed working on new episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head. It's not clear if the number of new episodes is 30, but in any case some new animated stupidity is on the way to us.

According to the source it looks like the cheapish "drawn on your notebook during class" animation style will remain intact, though this probably isn't as crucial as it sounds. A movie version of the show called Beavis and Butt-Head Do America was released in 1996 using a little bit more refined animation, but still worked well. So long as they stick with one of these two and don't make any major changes fans should be content. [...]

Music Review: Ozzy Osbourne – Scream

Posted: 19 Jul 2010 09:35 AM PDT

Ozzy Osbourne Scream
Produced by Ozzy Osbourne, Kevin Churko
Epic
Released June 21, 2010

Drug abuse, alcoholism, animal blood, quad bike crashes, his wife -- many have tried and some have come incredibly close to handing his (im)mortal soul over to the cold embrace of the grim reaper, but it seems nothing can kill rock super-god, Ozzy Osbourne.

I am a huge fan of Ozzy-era Black Sabbath and listening to those albums inevitably led me to the Ozzy solo albums. When I listen to any new Ozzy album I pretty much know what I'm going to get -- a livelier, faster, even lighter sound than his previous band, it's just whether he can deliver on all that hope I reserve for the original Black Sabbath lead singer. So far he hasn't let me down and this year the Prince of Darkness released his tenth solo album, Scream [...]
