Last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon featured Justin Timberlake as a guest, out promoting his new film, The Social Network.  Timberlake, for those of you who may not watch Saturday Night Live, is one of the funniest and most natural performers of our times, he also happens to be an amazing singer.  In the clips following the jump you can see some of his interview with Fallon, but you'll also get a very special treat.

Oliver Stone releases Gordon Gekko back into the world and on screens this weekend with “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”, a sequel to the classic “Wall Street” starring Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen. This time around Gekko is the only character from the first film involved in the story taking place in 2008 right before the economic meltdown. Trade the Sheens in for Shia Labeouf (Transformers), Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men) and Carrey Mulligan (An Education) and you have new characters to go with a new economic landscape.

Below you'll find four videos to get you ready for the new series.

As the premier week continues we've got some new videos from NBC including your first look at the new season of the Office, a clip from last night's Parenthood (which can be watched in it's entirety here), and some great clips from last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  Check them all out after the break.

With the new fall season upon us, and most of the new and returning shows starting to air next week, it's time to decide which new shows you will be watching.  I for one know that I will be tuning in to NBC's The Event.

I had a chance to check out the pilot a few weeks back and I really enjoyed it.  The show jumps around a bit too much, but overall it held my interest, especially when it was focusing on Jason Ritter's character.  And the ending to the pilot guaranteed I would be back for episode 2.

There was a blink of an eye when Christian Slater could have been the next Jack Nicholson. He was a bad boy in a time when he was alone. This was after Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe and Charlie Sheen’s Brat Pack era and before Leo and Brad Pitt took over in the 90s. He was wild, charming and dangerous. Instead of Generation X’s James Dean, he was more the James Dean of 1989.

Christian Slater got typecast as Christian Slater. He was great at being Christian Slater. By the time he tried to show a little diversity with some dramatic roles, he didn’t remind anyone of Jack Nicholson. Was it too late? Was his moment over? Sure he’d get the occasional TV show and once in a while a leading role in a film, but it’s usually to be the essence of Christian Slater. Very few have gotten that mixture right. Slater started out great.

Slater was in “Tucker: The Man and His Dream” directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He was the big brother in “The Wizard” when people still cared about Fred Savage.

Today I arrived home from lunch to find a very welcome gift sitting on my front porch, Glee: The Complete First Season on Blu-ray!  I'm not lying when I say that I was so happy I actually danced a jig.  The show's title is completely accurate, in fills me with Glee every time I hear a song, watch an episode, or even find it on my doorstep.

If you don't know, Glee was one of last season's biggest hits.  The series follows teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) as he tries to take his school's Glee club from a bunch of rag tag losers to competition winning singers.  Filled with amazing musical numbers, award winning performances (Both Jane Lynch and Neil Patrick Harris won Emmys for their performances last season), and touching plot lines, Glee is one of the most hard to define shows on TV.  The series spans from musical to comedy to drama, I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry multiple times during the show's first season.

The new release is filled with special features including featurettes on Madonna, the Style of Glee, choreography, Jane Lynch, and more.  The Blu-ray also offers a wonderful visual commentary of the pilot featuring many members of both the cast and crew.  But the best special feature is hands down the Glee Music Jukebox which allows you to watch the many different musical performances all by themselves.  You can either choose which performance you want to watch, watch them all in order, or my personal favorite, put it on shuffle.  As I write this I'm in the 27th minute of the jukebox, and that's just on Disc 1!

And if the 1st Season being available isn't enough to tide you over until next week's Season 2 premiere, there's much more to meet your Glee needs.  And if you already bought the Glee: Road to Regionals DVD be sure to head over here to find out how to get your Gleebate.

I like short films, they come in all shapes and sizes, they come in all different genres, and so many times they can blow your mind in how much awesomeness they pack into such a small morsel.  But I don't often post the short films I watch here, because usually I watch them, tweet about them, and move on with my life.

However, the following short-film, entitled Table 7, was just so well done that I had to spread the love via the inter-webs.  The video from director, Marko Slavnic, is short and oh so sweet.  I don't want to give anything away, but I'll give you a little synopsis from the Vimeo site "A couple has an intimate conversation in a restaurant, unaware that their every word is being closely monitored."  And with that I invite you to watch the short, and if you like it you should head on over to Slavnic's website to learn more about him and see more of his films.

I've got info on 3 new DVD releases after the jump, including the newest from frequent Kevin Smith collaborator, Jason Mewes, the newest release in the film adaptations of the best selling Millennium Trilogy, and a Special Edition of the wonderful documentary, Super Size Me.

“Resident Evil: Afterlife” returned Alice to theaters in 3D this weekend. The trailers promised it would be the latest in 3D technology. I have enjoyed all of the “Resident Evil” films even though it has the same problems as “The Bourne” films. I enjoyed them but cannot tell a difference between the sequels. I feel like there is almost no difference in “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “The Bourne Supremacy” except in the third one Jason Bourne finds out more about his past. Except for that, it’s the same tricks, the same awesome fight choreography and the same handheld cameras. The “Resident Evil” films are similar. I don’t remember much about the second or third films except I enjoyed them. I never bought them or watch the whole thing on cable. It is fun at the theater though. “Resident Evil: Afterlife” is enjoyable even though it treads through the same paths as the previous films.

Sendhil Ramamurthy plays Jai Wilcox on USA’s “Covert Affairs” and recently took in a conference call for bloggers. Cinemaniac was there.

Jai Wilcox’s character has changed since the inception of the show.
“I think originally as conceived the character wasn’t going to be going out into the field and once they cast me, they saw some merit, some advantage to bringing me into the field,” Sendhil Ramamurthy said.

Wilcox is a second generation CIA man and it brings another dynamic to the character.
“His father, Henry Wilcox, was the Head of Clandestine Services, so he’s CIA royalty,” Ramamurthy said. “There’s some baggage that comes with being Henry Wilcox-my character’s father’s name is Henry Wilcox-there’s some baggage that comes with being his son and it kind of permeates through the CIA.”

If you a fan of 80s music you know that this blog must have something to do with Tears for Fears. And you'd be correct. On tonight's all-new Psych, airing on USA at 10/9c, Tears for Fears' Curt Smith cameos as himself, and redoes the theme song! I had the opportunity to join in on an interview with Smith yesterday and he had some interesting things to say about Psych, acting, music, and more. Continue past the jump for more.
