I've got three trailers for you today.  First up is the first look at the new Steven Soderberg/Matt Damon satire The Informant.  The movie tells the true story of one of the largest roundups of pricefixing in American history, but seems to do so in a satirical way that pokes fun at the corporate culture.  The cast looks great with the wonderful Tony Hale, Scott Bakula, and Joel McHale joining Damon.  Check it out below:

This may be my new favorite Viral Video.  The folks over at College Humor have made an updated version of West Side Story telling the tale of a couple trying to find love in the time of internet dating.  They use the tunes from the original Broadway show and I have to say they are quite good.  So click the video below and enjoy.

Burn Notice returned to USA for it's 3rd season 4 weeks ago and if you missed the first 3 episodes, don't freak out they're all available on Hulu.com.  I've even embedded them for your viewing pleasure. 
So far this season has been just as amazing as the last 2, but the stakes have changed drastically as the "company" protected Micheal after he was burned have stopped protecting him.  What does that mean for Micheal?  Mainly that all of his old enemies and the police are hot on his trail and he has to keep a low profile and escape from a lot more danger.  And of course he's still got to help out those who can't help themselves.  Having his protection lifted really does raise the stakes and change the show, even while it stays the show we all love.
So do yourself a favor catch up on this season below and tune in tonight (at 9/8c) on USA to see the best series of the summer.  And then stick around for USA's newest show, Royal Pains.

Long time no post, and I'm sorry for that as I've been busy watching some movies, New TV series, and mainly looking for a job.  Yes, if you didn't know I recently lost my job and I'm looking and hoping I find something soon.  So if you know anyone who needs an attorney in Texas give me a shout via the e-mail address at the top of the page.

But enough about me, you came here to learn about movies and TV.  Well today I've got some great sneak peeks at NBC's new series premiering this fall.  Personally I can't wait to check out Community, which stars the excellent Joel McHale (E's The Soup) and the return of Chevy Chase.  If Chase is even half as good as he was in his recent stint on NBC's Chuck it should be amazing.  So enough talking on to the previews:

Early this morning NBC set over a new clip of a group of performers breaking into a rendition of You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall and Oates at Mall of America!!  I'll admit I was a little disappointed at just what the clip is promoting, but I like how NBC is using the flash mob type improv to promote anything.  Personally I'm a huge fan of Improv Anywhere and it's ilk, so I thought this video was great.  So check it out below and let me know what you think.
