Television: Cupcake Wars - Tim Burton Challenge

About two nights ago I watched Food Network's Cupcake Wars. By my luck it was a Tim Burton Challenge. Which happens to be one of my favorites movie directors of all time. If you are not familiar with his work, he's filmed Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, Alice In Wonderland and so many other classics. But besides that let me get back to Cupcake Wars. There was four contestants, after each cupcake-off one will be eliminated, and for the one who has the best tasting cupcake with display will have their cupcakes featured in a huge event to promote their business.

These cupcakes looked amazing! I wish I was there to taste them. In the last round the two remaining contestants had to make 1,000 cupcakes in a huge display to present it at a movie premiere of one of Tim Burton's upcoming releases. Here below are the two displays, completed.


I really thought the first image was going to win, but they found the second image's display of numerous staircases and doors to be more related to Tim Burton then the scary tree next to a door.

I know if I was competing in this competition I would of killed it. I am such a huge fan on Tim Burton's work that I would make the perfect cupcake.

Vimeo: Fluffy MC CLOUD

FLUFFY MC CLOUD from conorfinnegan on Vimeo.


I found this video on Fluffy MC CLOUD which was written, directed, and animated by Conor Finnegan (Freelance Director). He created this short film for his graduate film from IADT National Film School. The stop-motion, live action, and hand drawn animation created a unique vision of a day for Fluffy MC Cloud. I found this video to be well done and plot was humorous.

Trailers: Transformers 3 Dark of The Moon


The third installment of Michael Bay's Transformers released last weekend Dark of The Moon. After I watched this trailer I can now say that you should never lie to a transformer, the karma is gonna get you! This movie is intense with suspense and action, the graphics are amazing! Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon is available to watch in 3D. The cast remained Shia LeBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel, but this time around Megan Fox has been replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Victoria Secret Model).

Opening This Weekend




Youtube: Smosh - If Movies Were Real


One of my favorite Youtube Videos from SMOSH has to be If Movies Were Real. They show you how some of our favorite movies can be taken from out of the theaters and become apart of our daily lives. I think the best rendition of a movie they did was Pixar's UP. Check out how Anthony looks so much like Carl Fredricksen. This video was also a great laugh.

Trailer: Rise of the Planet of The Apes

Saw this trailer during the Heat VS Mavericks game and I was so impressed with the storyline of how evolution can take over due to curious scientist searching for advancement with medicine. Watch the Theatrical Trailer and see for yourself.

Youtube: iPad Magic Trick



I was so amazed when I saw this. I am still impressed and curious to how he was able to do those tricks he pulled. This proves that magic can be inspired by anything. Just wanted to share with you!
