Win Tickets To LA BURLESQUE at Trinity (Cancelled)

My sister used to be part of a Burlesque troupe. I remember missioning through to Cape Town with friends to see her perform. Maybe that's why I've never been too keen on the whole idea of Burlesque; it's hard to enjoy a show when you have to sit with an entire room of (mostly) men who are mainly there to leer at your sister. It didn't help that she ended one particular show in nipple caps and little else. Now I don't want to put a negative spin on the whole thing. I am, after all, trying to give away free tickets to a Burlesque show. I'm actually all for semi-naked girls performing various parodical acts involving literature, drama or music (or a mixture of the three). And you should be too. So...

How about spending your night sipping cocktails and enjoying lingerie-clad dancers performing choreographed renditions of Cabaret, Chicago and Burlesque? I'm giving away one double table to the person who answers the following question correctly (one double table means a table for two, so bring a date). Winners will be announced on Friday morning by 10am.

Who played the lead role in the 2010 musical, Burlesque?

Pictures From The Set of The Hobbit

I love Lord of the Rings. The books and the movies. Yeah, I know you're probably thinking: "Of course he loves LotR. This is the guy who blogs about iPad apps and online banking and writes 'Lord of the Rings' out as LotR." Okay, I'm a nerd. Or geek. If you're one too, take a look at this collection of pics from the set of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and get ready for a geekgasm.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 [Trailer]

I've always been one for outlandish, fairytale creatures and bearded wizards - and I'm not even gay. I've been bunking school to see Harry Potter ever since the first movie was released. Now that I'm not in school anymore, I try my hardest to make sure that I bunk something. If you haven't yet heard, Part II of the Deathly Hallows is being released in July and Warner Brothers has just unveiled the first trailer for it.

The press release reads something like this: In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.

I saw this movie on Friday night. It was very good. From now on, if you click on the Movie of the Moment tab on the right of this blog, it will link you to a trailer of the film in question. Just for your convenience.

Family Guy: It's a Trap. Mind = Blown.

I watched the latest installment in the Family Guy: Star Wars Saga, It's a Trap, last night with a few close friends (@LourensLoki, @DennisKrige, @Kaydee_ve, @AdeleKloppers, @GavinHarries, @The__Grizzle) and I'd highly recommend it to anyone with a warped sense of humour. Seth MacFarlane and his team have outdone themselves this time around - especially with regard to the animation, as well as the cosmic amount of in-jokes he manages to slip into every second of the film.

Below, you can check out the trailer which highlights some of the funnier parts in the movie without spoiling some of the longer, more surprising jokes.

If you're looking for a short film to get you laughing, then It's A Trap does not disappoint. Watch it!
