Cover Me Monday: Billie Jean
To commemorate the passing of music legend Michael Jackson, who died on this day in 2009, I give you this cover of MJ’s “Billie Jean” by Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. Well-crafted pop confection gives way to a deeply soulful interpretation that sorta suits the subject matter of the song a lot better than the original’s more upbeat, dance inspired style.

Trailer of the Day: Prototype
This is an amazing looking film just from the teaser and it is especially impressive considering that the production company (The Bandito Brothers; the company behind the surprise hit ACTS OF VALOR) only spent around $40 million on it. The concept is cool too: a rogue android is being hunted by the government that built it. The movie should be released some time in 2013

All The Questions I Had After Watching Prometheus
Now don’t get me wrong, I actually liked Prometheus for what it did right but I didn’t love it which is what I was really hoping would be my reaction. That being said the script for this movie was a bit of a haphazard mess that left me scratching my head in wonderment in a decidedly bad way much like the gents in the video from Red Letter Media.

5 Underrated UK Shows You Should Check Out
LUTHER
If you are a fan of Idris Elba and have wanted to see him in something more like his breakout role as Stringer Bell in the amazing HBO series The Wire (as opposed to playing Nicolas Cage’s sidekick in Ghost Rider or his thankless role in Prometheus) then I suggest you seek out his amazing psychological crime-drama Luther.
Detective Chief Inspector John Luther is an absolute mental mess of a man who has no issues with cutting corners or doing shady things in order to close a case. And the relationship between Luther and suspected murderer Alice Morgan (played remarkably by Ruth Wilson) is one of the most intriguing I have seen on an TV show. Luther and Morgan’s sexually charged game of cat-and-mouse drives most of the first season of the show and would be more than enough to justify watching the show.

My 10 Favorite Movie Strippers
10. Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba), SIN CITY
Like a lot of the women on this list, Alba was somehow able to pull off being a successful stripper who never got naked. In the real world that would get you immediately fired but in movies it seems to mean you are the most popular lady on the pole.
