In theaters this week - "Bangkok Dangerous," the new action flick starring Nicholas Cage ("National Treasure"), hits theaters tomorrow. In the film, Cage plays Joe, a hit man, who is in Bangkok trying to pull off a series of jobs. As he spends more time there, he ends up falling for one of the local women and makes a few new friends along the way. With Cage's reputation for some of his previous roles, "Bangkok Dangerous" is likely to bring some thrill to the big screen.
New artist totally worth checking out - Unsigned artist, Never Shout Never, caught my attention on a recent surf through the MySpace music scene. Christofer Drew, 17, is the adorable guy behind the acoustic sound of "The Yipee" EP that is available on iTunes. The coolest thing about the shaggy-haired crooner is that he's semi-local. Drew hails from Joplin, Mo., giving him a little bit of the hometown feel to anyone from Missouri. His song, "Bigcitydreams" has been featured on MTV's TRL, and recently beat Lil' Wayne on a Springfield, Mo. radio station battle. His sound is a lot like the Jack's Mannequin, or Something Corporate type and his songs will easily get stuck in your head. Head to iTunes and support this local(ish) artist, and hopefully the guitar-playing cutie will get signed and we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future.
Get your giggles - Comedian Bo Burnham has recently captured my heart. The 18-year-old funny man from Massachusetts has taken over Youtube with his variety of hilarious comedy rap videos.
