After a long heralded, finally Glee Justin Bieber Season 2 episode also aired in the United States. Unfortunately the reaction that is not as expected. Because reportedly specific for these episodes, the ratings declined Glee!
In the episode Sam Evans, played by Chord Overstreet dressed Justin Bieber. And he sang the song Baby for Quinn Fabray played by Dianna Agron. Romantic yes!

Movie Review: My Soul To Take Not Scary, Not Funny, Not Any Good
Review in a Hurry: After seemingly selling off the remake rights to every movie he's ever made, Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes) has taken the money and, with the freedom to create an all-new tale of terror and release it with an R-rating, he made this? A derivative-day trip to dullsville? D'oh!
The Bigger Picture: Craven's first full-length original screenplay in 16 years offers a misbegotten mishmash of past Triumphs, with a Slasher-killer named the Riverton Ripper, WHO looks like a tall homeless man in a Rob Zombie mask and May Either be a rip -off of Freddy Krueger or Scream's Ghostface.
Depending, of course, on whether he turns out to be a schizo teen, or a Presumed-Dead psychopath with a Mystical connection to the kids of his Victims. Whichever wins, as another familiar horror tagline has it, We lose.
Perhaps the alleged "master" has changed from bored with the genre, as nothing here is especially scary. Some Craven does show aptitude for creating teen characters beyond the one-dimensional, as his born-again girl is no hissable Zealot, his blind black kid far from a pushover token, his bleached-blonde no bimbette, and his Empress the unlikely goth queen of the school.
They even get Some legitimately funny dialogue early on. Sadly, the soul is swiftly sucked from the setting, rendering the movie's moniker essentially accurate, at least (certainly more so Than the awful working title 25 / 8).
Seven of the kids were the resource persons born the night the Ripper apparently Died, and there's Some mumbo-jumbo about how his Multiple Personalities Actually separate souls were the resource persons (a very nebulous concept with That rules are ultimately abandoned anyway). But now he's back! Or is it his soul in somebody else's body? And Honestly, is anyone really frightened of the short, curved-blade knife he Favors? Like its wielder, it does not Appear to be the sharpest tool in the Shed.
It Might be Easier to have mercy on the mediocrities herein if not for the fact That Craven has been blabbering on in interviews about all the cool tricks 3-D allows uterus to use, Pls it's plain for anyone to see That the 3-D is a half-assed post-conversion, and nothing in the movie Itself appears to have been conceived with it in mind.
The highlight of the film, in fact, is a Freaky bird costume, presented in a school biology class, that Actually vomits and defecates upon its audience. It'd be nice to think the director were the resource persons self-aware Enough to Recognize the obvious parallel.
The 180-a Second Opinion: In the goth-girl role, Emily Meade shows Some spark, elevating the character beyond what you Might Expect. Too bad she's saddled with an Unfortunate Star Wars reference. eonline.net

Movie Review: Let Me In Powerful and Intimate—Even If It Is About Vampires
The Bigger Picture: In Los Alamos, NM, circa 1983, 12-year-old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) lives in lower-income housing with his single mom. He spends the winter nights by Himself, fumbling with his Rubik's Cube and hanging out on the monkey bars. He's oddly fine with the nighttime setting, probably daytime Brings Because school-in particular, gym class-and constant Torture students from much bigger.
With no one to turn to (We never get a good look at his mom, making her feel distant akin to the Adults in a Peanuts strip) Owen would be happy to meet another soul WHO enjoys the frozen nights. Enter new neighbor Abby (Chloe Grace Moretz) WHO hangs out in the snow barefoot and is Also 12. But she's been "12" for a very long time.
At times, writer / director Matt Reeves' (Cloverfield) version is Nearly identical to the 2008 Swedish original Let the Right One In. There are Some structural changes, and events with many scenes feeling like shot-for-shot remakes, Let Me In Becomes something wholly original. The Euro version Used the vampire angle as a metaphor for immigration, while Reeves' offering is focused primarily on the isolation of the latchkey generation.
Take away the vampire tropes and the heart of this warm-blooded movie is a strange, affecting coming-of-age tale. On the Brink of adolescence, the which Owen is overly sensitive Abby makes a great companion-WHO else is more aware of Their surroundings than a vampire? It's Fascinating to see just how desperate being a kid as well as a few cans bloodsucker.
Vampires are pretty overdone These Days, but thankfully, Let Me In allows reality to sink in before getting to the obligatory herky-jerky CG kills. Plus, she's a vampire whose way of living (Barely scraping by from town to town) That does not seem alluring skin sparkling-no here.
The script Is not Interested in stripping away all the lore of VAMPS, however. The film's title reminds us legendarily That vampires can not enter a home without being invited. What's much creepier is what Happens if They Actually Do come in without an invitation.
Smit-McPhee and Moretz are perfect as the two lost souls. Last year, Smit-McPhee was the quietest kid Compelling as ever in The Road. He's a wee bit older now (less cute, more awkward-looking) and still spends the first act not saying much but expressing a lot with his eyes. Likewise, Moretz was the best thing in Kick-Ass and she's even better with a more layered role (sadly, with less fight scenes).
Richard Jenkins and Elias Koteas have authority figures Somewhat thankless parts, but They both shine. Jenkins, WHO plays Abby's "dad," has a remarkable scene in an out-of-control station wagon. Koteas plays a detective investigating the town's recent wave of grisly murders.
The 180-a Second Opinion: Oscar winner Michael Giacchino's score cans be a thoughtful, entrancing and Quite scary. Pls except it Is not, and then it sounds an awful lot like Giacchino's former day job, on Lost, and That cans be distracting.

'Machete' Slices Competition At Friday Box Office 'The American' is hot on the heels of the action flick.
"Machete" was a cut above the competition in a close Friday box-office race crowded with new releases. According toreports, the sexed-up, action-packed Robert Rodriguez-directed film took first place with $3.9 million on Friday.
However, the star-heavy caper, which boasts performances from Jessica Alba and Danny Trejo, and a buzzed-about screen turn from Lindsay Lohan, just barely slipped past The American." The George Clooney thriller, which revolves around an assassin who lands in Italy for a final job, kicked off the weekend with $3.8 million. Friday's haul bumps the film's cumulative take to $7 million since the movie landed in theaters on Wednesday.
Rounding out an action-heavy top three, "Takers" pulled in $3 million during its second Friday in theaters. Although the film opened at #1 last weekend, it appears news of the film's star T.I.'s arrest hasn't completely doused the fire of the heist flick. The film also boasts appearances from Idris Elba and singer Chris Brown, who has recently triumphed on the music charts with his single "Deuces." The movie has made an estimated $29.5 million since landing in theaters.
The horror movie "The Last Exorcism," which nabbed the second-place slot in a photo-finish box-office race against "Takers" last week, slipped to the #4 spot. The creep-fest raked in $2.3 million during its second Friday on screens, which nudged its total gross to $27 million.
The rom-com "Going the Distance," starring Drew Barrymore and real-life on-and-off beau Justin Long, debuted in fifth place. The movie, which follows a young couple working to sustain the spark in their long-distance relationship, scored $2.2 million in ticket sales.mtv.com

'Harry Potter,' 'Tron,' 'True Grit' Top Celebs' Fall Movie Wish List 'Look, I'm a 'Tron' guy,' Jack Black confesses of the flick he's most looking forward to.
MTV News' Fall Movie Preview Week has been chock-full of the juiciest exclusive goods any eager moviegoer could hope for. Chills (courtesy of Wes Craven's "My Soul to Take"), thrills (thanks to Chris Pine talking about Tony Scott's "Unstoppable") and exclusive stills. There was also some interesting talk about the secrets of onscreen nudity and post-production nipple addition (thanks, "Machete" cast!).
In celebration of the upcoming season of highly anticipated films, we've compiled a little list of the films the Hollywood set is most anxious to see.
"I am a huge Harry Potter nerd," Chloe Bridges ("Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam") told us at the premiere of the Disney sequel. "To obnoxious levels, it's kind of sad, you have no idea, but yeah, I'm very excited for it. Part 1 of 'The Deathly Hallows'!"
" 'Tron' for sure," director M. Night Shyamalan said of the film he's most looking forward to. "Because I don't know what it's going to be, and that's so exciting. I know it's based on the original movie, but I'm starving for original stuff as an audience member," he said.
"Gulliver's Travels" star Jack Black begged to differ on the "Tron" excitement, however.
"Yeah, that one's not gonna be any good," he said. "I don't wanna see that." And moments later Black changed his tune. Literally. He busted out a few bars of the original "Tron" theme for us.
"Look, I'm a 'Tron' guy," Black confessed. "Yeah, I like 'Tron.' I played the 'Tron' video game when I was a kid. Yeah! I'm in, I'm a nerd."
Black went on to say that he is equally excited for Jeff Bridges' other fall film, "True Grit."
"Jeff Bridges plus the Coen brothers equals genius," he said. "If you saw 'The Big Lebowski,' you know what I'm sayin."
"Somewhere" director Sophia Coppola also expressed enthusiasm for "True Grit," as well as Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan."
"I'm excited to see 'Black Swan,' and I know the Coen brothers have a movie coming out," she said. "It's always fun this time of year to go to the movies because there's so much to see." We couldn't agree more! mtv.com

'Catfish' Filmmakers Respond To 'Is It Real?' Debate 'We're not that creative,' Ariel Schulman laughs to MTV News.
After making a splash at Sundance at the beginning of this year — both for being a hit with audiences and for stirring up a little controversy regarding the is-it-real-or-fake discussion that divided critics — "Catfish" is on its way to theaters September 17. The heavily hyped indie documentary revolves around NYC-based photographer Nev Schulman and the series of curious events that occur when he begins an online friendship with an 8-year-old girl and a romantic relationship with her older sister.
When MTV News caught up with the film's two first-time directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, they discussed what prompted them to begin filming to begin with, their subsequent decisions to keep the cameras rolling no matter what and their reactions to the "it's a fake" controversy.
MTV: Without revealing the big twist, what is this film about?
Henry Joost: It's a true story about an experience we had. The main character is Ariel's younger brother who works with us, who got into a Facebook relationship that took a turn for the unexpected, and we were there to capture it.
Ariel Schulman: People are surprised we started filming as early as we did, but truth is, we've been filming each other for years, and we're always prepared. ... I've got this brother who is just very charismatic and gets into a lot of trouble and gets himself into situations, and if I'm not filming him, I usually regret it.
Joost: We've been doing it since high school. We're those annoying guys: "Come on, you don't have to film this. It's not interesting."
Schulman: So [Nev] gets involved with this 8-year-old girl who's a painter. She's obsessed with his photos, he's a ballet photographer in New York, he's a dance junkie. He's a straight dance junkie, which is a good situation to be in. ... I was already filming him, because I'm always filming him. ... I thought, "This looks like a friendship and sort of business relationship," because she starts painting and selling the paintings based on his photos, and they split the proceeds. ... It develops, and he meets her older sister, and they start to fall in love, and we're like, "Oh, that sounds like a longer short film about Internet romance, and it will end when they meet," and that's just the first act of the movie, and it takes a pretty severe 90-degree turn from there.
Joost: We had no idea where it was headed. It was this soap opera unfolding in our office. ... It was engrossing. Ariel started filming it, and he's been wanting to make a movie about his brother, because separate from the movie, his brother is incredible, a real-life character and always attracting drama and people. He's a really charismatic person, and he has no filter, and he just wades into things.
MTV: You mentioned that things take a serious turn. Were there moments when Nev wanted you guys to stop rolling?
Joost: He had to be talked into it [at times].
Schulman: It was his life in front of the lens, and it gets pretty hairy. We have a couple arguments, and that's in the movie. There were times when I didn't want to go through with it, [Nev] didn't want to go through with it, [Joost] didn't want to go through with it. ... The tables turned, and ...
Joost: Ultimately, it became Nev's journey to find out the truth. He ended up convincing us to keep going at different points; each of us sort of chicken out at different points.
MTV: What do you think of the controversy, people claiming it's all fake?
Joost: It is a documentary in that it's something that actually happened and we filmed it and none of it is staged or fake. To us, we had no idea people were going to have that reaction until Sundance, and after the first screening, ["Super Size Me" director/star] Morgan Spurlock went up to somebody on our team and went, "That is the best fake documentary I've ever seen," and we were like, "Really?" Because how do you react to that in our shoes? ... It's kind of strange, because to us, there's no debate; that's what happened. I think what people are reacting to a lot is, the film is edited. We can't put out a 250-hour movie, so we're making decisions and streamlining the narrative and presenting what we feel is the clearest representation of what happened, but it's real, and there's nothing disingenuous about it.
Schulman: It gives us too much credit, though. If this were fake, then it would be ...
Joost: Yeah, we would be so much smarter than we actually are.
Schulman: Yeah, we're not that creative.
Joost: It would be amazing if we had faked it. I don't know how we would have done it, but ...
Schulman: And my brother would be the best actor since Marlon Brando.

To us, we had no idea people were going to have that reaction until Sundance, and after the first screening, ["Super Size Me" director/star] Morgan Spurlock went up to somebody on our team and went, "That is the best fake documentary I've ever seen," and we were like, "Really?" Because how do you react to that in our shoes? ... It's kind of strange, because to us, there's no debate; that's what happened. I think what people are reacting to a lot is, the film is edited. We can't put out a 250-hour movie, so we're making decisions and streamlining the narrative and presenting what we feel is the clearest representation of what happened, but it's real, and there's nothing disingenuous about it.
Schulman: It gives us too much credit, though. If this were fake, then it would be ...
Joost: Yeah, we would be so much smarter than we actually are.
Schulman: Yeah, we're not that creative.
Joost: It would be amazing if we had faked it. I don't know how we would have done it, but ...
Schulman: And my brother would be the best actor since Marlon Brando.

Today's Badass: RV Company Owner Challenges Taylor Lautner To Push-Up Contest
Last week, crybaby Taylor Lautner claimed in a lawsuit that he was emotionally distressed because a tricked-out RV wasn't delivered to him on time. Poor guy. Now the owner of the RV company, Brent McMahon, is trying to settle things old-school-style. Yesterday he challenged Lautner to a push up contest. "He works out regularly," McMahon's attorney said. "But he's a 47-year-old man. He's no Taylor Lautner."
Predictably, Lautner's lawyer called the challenge unprofessional. We call it awesome. More disputes should be settled with brawn or beer chugging instead of angry lawyers and shouting.
Of course this contest will never happen, because Lautner's lawyers are complete killjoys. And because it would cause Lautner even more emotional distress.

MULTIPLE CHOICE: What Should Emma Watson's New Career Be?
Welcome to our new daily feature, Multiple Choice, where you'll get to weigh in on what's making news! Emma Watson already wowed the world by chopping off her long Hermione-hair this month, but now she's dropped another bomb: The "Harry Potter" star told an English newspaper that she may quit acting for good, now that her role in the franchise that made her famous has come to a close.
We don't blame Emma for taking the chance to figure out what her other strengths are, finish up college and enjoy some time away from the cameras (although we would have loved to see that awesome new pixie cut onscreen—a remake of "Rosemary's Baby," perhaps?) But if Emma's not acting, what will she do? Tell us what you think in today's Multiple Choice!

'Piranha 3D': Don't Go In The Water, By Kurt Loder Adam Scott and Elizabeth Shue in a full-blooded fish story.
"Piranha 3D" is a genre horror film that delivers exactly what you'd expect: gushers of blood, ripped flesh by the kilo, and acres of bare booty and boobs (some of them real). But the movie has been fashioned at a surprisingly high level: The effects are top notch, the camerawork is marvelously fluid, and the 3D feels real, not like a post-production add-on (although it is). The thrills here may be traditional, but they're still actually thrilling.
The picture rips off "Jaws" with vigorous glee. In the part of the local lawman played by Roy Scheider in the 1975 classic we now have Elizabeth Shue, and Adam Scott takes the part of the science guy played in the earlier film by Richard Dreyfus. (Dreyfuss himself actually pops up here, in a very small part that requires him to be rendered into even smaller parts.)
The setting is Lake Havasu, Arizona (here called Lake Victoria), where a seismic event of some sort has opened a subaqueous crack, up through which pour a legion of primordial piranhas ("more than two million years old!" one knowledgeable character gasps). And wouldn't you know, this ominous event has occurred right in the middle of the annual spring-break invasion of drunken college boys and knockout bikini women. (There are lingering shots of the inevitable wet-t-shirt contest.)
The story is unabashedly by-the-numbers. While the college kids frolic on the lakeshore, a creep named Derrick (Jerry O'Connell) is out on the water in his cabin cruiser with local boy Jake Forester (Steven R. McQueen), son of the sheriff (Shue); nice-girl Kelly (Jessica Szohr), on whom Jake has his eye; and two bisexual babes (Kelly Brook and Riley Steele) who swim around naked beneath the glass-bottom boat so that Derek can film them for a skin flick he's making. There are also two little kids stranded on an island and wading out knee-deep to shout for help. All of this solicits the traditional audience response: "Don't go in the water!" But does anyone listen? Need you ask?
Director Alexandre Aja ("High Tension") knows there's no point in using 3D for subtle depth effects; what we really want is vicious multi-fanged piranhas shooting right off the screen and into our face. He does this with great gusto; and working with cinematographer John R. Leonetti, he's concocted some ripping subsurface scenes (beyond the pull-'em-under shots familiar from "Jaws") and some lively stunts. We expect Sheriff Forester to start running around on the beach in a panic pleading with the college kids to get out of the lake (to no avail until the water is running red with blood), and so she does. And when Derek's boat founders on some rocks with one of the girls trapped below deck, we know that somebody has to jump in the water and swim below to rescue her. We know, we know. But when the action is this slickly done, we want to see it all again, one more time. www.mtv.com
