Catch Up Time: Bits & Pieces

Now he's some more of Catch Up Time! Now let's chat about Disney's new pilot, Bits & Pieces! Sounds really good, to me!

DISNEY CHANNEL ORDERS FAMILY COMEDY PILOT “BITS & PIECES”

Disney Channel has ordered the comedy pilot “Bits & Pieces,” a unique re-imagining of the traditional multicamera family comedy. The series will showcase the bits and pieces of a family’s funniest moments using quick, dynamic storylines that unfold through a series of short comedic vignettes.

“Bits & Pieces” is executive-produced by Andy Fickman (“The Game Plan,” “Race to Witch Mountain”) and Betsy Sullenger (“You Again”) and written by John D. Beck & Ron Hart (“Shake It Up,” “According to Jim”). Production begins in June in consideration for a Disney Channel series to premiere in 2013.

In the story, the family tree gets a whole lot bigger when high school basketball coach Pete marries the school psychologist Jodie, much to the chagrin of their four kids. Willful teenager Alanna recounts all the family moments through comedic vignettes, while her awkward brother Sticky and their new step siblings Crystal and Brody help fill in the bits and pieces as they begin their journey together as a new family.

This is so awesome! I love it! I think it's one of the best Disney Channel pilots they've thought of in a long time! Casting is going on right now! I think this show can be a huge hit! What do you guys think? Comment!

Catch Up Time: He's a Dog With a Blog!

Hey everyone! It's Matt, finally here! I've been so busy and I've been attached to so many other things for so long that I totally, didn't forget, but never made time to post. Now I'm back and will be posting about a bunch of things that I'm sure you've already heard about but I'm posting it! It's Catch Up Time! I'll be doing "Catch Up Time!"s for a little while. It's just a little segment on TE where we like to catch up on things!

So first, let's catch up on the newest Disney Channel Original Series, Dog With a Blog! Yup! The show was picked up and it stars the awesome Lemonade Mouth drummer and our favorite new teenage girl, G Hannelius ("Leo Little's Big Show", "Good Luck Charlie", "Sonny With a Chance") and Blake Michael ("Lemonade Mouth")! When you first read about the show, it sounds pretty....hard to pull off, but as you keep reading, you'll know that Disney will do an amazing job on this! Check out the press release below!

SIT…STAY...SCROLL DOWN.

"DOG WITH A BLOG" - ITS TIME HAS COME!

Disney Channel, the leading TV network for kids and families, has ordered "Dog With A Blog," a live action comedy series from Emmy-winning producer Michael B. Kaplan. A family sitcom from the pet’s point-of-view, it centers on step-siblings whose parents buy them a dog to encourage them to get along. That happens - to some extent - as brother and sister discover a big secret about their family's latest addition… that the dog can talk AND blog. The series will introduce a talented cast, among them, Disney Channel's next big star: a four year-old, mixed breed named Kuma in the role of Stan, the talking dog with a blog. The announcement was made today by Adam Bonnett, Senior Vice President, Original Programming, Disney Channel.

Production on the multi-camera series will begin this June in Hollywood for premiere in fall 2012 on Disney Channel U.S. and soon thereafter on Disney Channels around the world.

Starring are:  G. Hannelius ("Den Brother," "Good Luck Charlie"), Blake Michael ("Lemonade Mouth"), Francesca Capaldi ("A.N.T. Farm"), Beth Littleford ("I'm in the Band," "Crazy, Stupid Love," "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"), Regan Burns ("Wizards of Waverly Place") and Stephen Full ("I'm in the Band") as the voice of Stan the dog. Kuma is a Husky/Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix who was rescued from a shelter. He is trained by Guin Dill and Steve Solomon of Good Dog Animals, an animal company with over 40 years combined experience in the motion picture and TV industry.

Bonnett said, "With our track record of discovering young talent who are 'triple threats,' we launched a nationwide search and our reward is that we found the one dog who could talk, blog and do his own stunts. Working with kids and animals has never been more fun!"

In "Dog With A Blog," Tyler and Avery are new step-siblings. Tyler is popular, charismatic and seems to get by solely on his looks, and Avery is smart, socially responsible and despises guys like Tyler. However, the biggest adjustment for the newly blended family comes with their new dog Stan - who talks and blogs. He's smart, a bit of a trouble maker and loves his new family, who must keep his marvelous ability a secret. Stan's canine point of view, whether in the home, in the yard or on his blog, helps the kids navigate both their new sibling situation and ultimately, becomes the tie that binds the family of six (Tyler, Avery, little sister Chloe, Mom, Dad and Stan). Even though he talks and likes a lot of "human" things, Stan is still pure dog. He chases his tail, barks at mailmen, ardently approaches poodles and is not so wild about cats.

"Dog With A Blog" was created and executive-produced by Michael B. Kaplan who most recently created and executive-produced Disney XD's "I'm in the Band." His credits also include "Frasier" for which he received an Emmy Award, "Roseanne," "Girlfriends" for which he received a BET Comedy Award, and "Doogie Howser, M.D."  The pilot was directed by Neal Israel ("Kickin' It," "Zeke and Luther," "Even Stevens") and produced by Leo Clarke ("Pair of Kings").

Disney's policy and core principles help ensure the protection and proper care and treatment of animals that appear in Disney-branded series and movies.

So what do you guys think? Could it be a good show? Yes, no, maybe? I'll go with maybe! Comment and tell me what you think!

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Trailer

Hey gamers!

Here is the new trailer to Call of Duty Black Ops 2. It looks it'll have nothing to do with the first Black Ops, and it's set in the future. In my opinion, the graphics are the same as MW3, the action looks to be the same (buildings falling, cars flipping, wind blowing) and if they think adding horses will want people to buy this game they need to check again. Check it out for yourself and tell me what you think below.




I guess it's safe to say Halo 4 is gonna be better.

Voice your opinion below!

The Dark Knight Rises Final Trailer Released!

Hey moviegoers!

The final trailer to the epic conclusion in the Christopher Nolan Batman film trilogy has been released. The final The Dark Knight Rises trailer is posted below for you to check out now!





Following the death of District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman assumes responsibility for Dent's crimes to protect Dent's reputation and is subsequently hunted by the Gotham City Police Department. Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, Batman returns to Gotham, where he encounters the mysterious Selina Kyle while stopping the villain Bane's plans to destroy the city.

Like many of us, I saw Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and loved them both! This last film looks very promising! The dark theme from the previous films looks like it is going to be carried over into this one as well, which is very exciting. As we see in the trailer, the villain Bane is bringing Gotham City to ashes, and looks as if he is going to "break the bat". Bane seems to be even more deadly than the Joker which makes a lot of people excited! The film is being released on July 20th this summer! So we have The Amazing Spider Man, The Avengers, and The Dark Knight Rises! All ready to turn the tide in this summer's blockbuster movies!

What do you think?
Stay tuned!

-Thanks, Tommy!

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Confirmed & Tommy's take on Halo 4 vs Black Ops 2

Hey gamers!

Recently, I posted and stated that the new Call of Duty game in the franchise is going to be called 'Call of Duty Iron Wolf''.
Unfortunately I was wrong and as it has been speculated before, the new game will be the sequel to 2010's 'Call of Duty Black Ops'.
I say unfortunately because I was no fan of the game 'Black Ops' and I'm also not as thrilled with the last game released 'MW3'. I might have been excited before, but now playing it again I realize it's just the same game copied and pasted with a new name. Activision and the other game developers are only it for the money, and it's actually kinda funny.

Anyway, the game will be released November 13th. It seems as if it has some competition though. Halo 4 is being released on November 6th. Halo is an Xbox 360 exclusive game (my favorite game too) while Call of Duty is a multi-platform game. This obviously means that Call of Duty is going to get the most sales, until people start to realize their buying the same game every year. I've realized that, so I'm sticking to HALO 4! Halo 4 will probably end up having more sales than Black Ops 2 on the Xbox 360 but over all COD will have the most sales because it is being released on other platforms as it's previous games have. I think this was pretty smart of 343 Industries (developers of Halo 4) to release it around the same time COD is released yearly, because it'll make it noticeable of how many gamers prefer Halo over COD, vice versa.

In terms of game quality, I'm almost positive Halo 4 will be a much better game than COD. See the Halo games require skill, whereas the Call of Duty games just require n00bs to run around shut whatever they want to (that's not an opinion either). The Halo games have something new every released and looking the graphics in Halo 4, the game looks great!
The Halo games always have a better campaign because Halo was built off of a story for the campaign. Whereas the Call of Duty developers just slap down a story (obviously what they did for Black Ops because, in my opinion, the story was so messy and so bad). Some of you may think otherwise, but that's just my opinion. So if you want, let your voice be heard in the comments below.

On May 1st, you can tune into the NBA playoffs to check out the Call of Duty Black Ops 2 trailer.
Now just because I prefer Halo over Call of Duty, doesn't mean I will stop posting Call of Duty news. I'm going to keep posting Call of Duty news for the Call of Duty fans who continue to visit this blog for info. I'm also going to throw a little bit of the major Halo 4 info in (such as the trailer and gameplay) to share Halo news with the gamers start to visit this blog for Halo.

Tell your opinion on Halo 4 vs Black Ops 2. Was it smart for 343i to set a date a week before BO2? Do you agree that Call of Duty has met it's end? Do you prefer Call of Duty or Halo?

Stay tuned

-Thanks, Tommy!

New 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2' Stills Released and New Trailer Coming Our Way

Hey viewers!

It's Tommy! I apologize for the delay in news that has been for over an entire month! We've all been busy, so I'm very sorry.
But for the coming days, you can expect lots of movie news I'll be bringing to you. This summer is going to be a superhero smackdown starting with 'The Avengers' being released this Friday, and in July the highly anticipated films, 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'The Amazing Spider Man'.

Now in movie news, two new stills from 'The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2' have been released. One with Bella and Edward (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson) showing off their pure vampire red eyes, and the other with Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Enjoy!

We can also expect a trailer, I would guess sometime over the summer, for The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2. The director of the film, Bill Condon, has posted on the movie's Facebook page:

"I'm excited to report that before too long we'll have another trailer for you to decode,
And wait until you see the first posters -- they're unlike any 'Twilight' images you've seen before. And then November 16th will be upon us and the final film will be yours!"


The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn is released on November 16th, 2012!

-Thanks, Tommy

Teen Beach Musical, A New DCCOM Coming 2013!

Teen Beach Musical

Ya know the Disney Upfront that they recently held for 2012? Well they announced this awesome movie, Teen Beach Musical! And now we have the official announcement for the movie!!! It stars our favorite guy, Ross Lynch from Austin & Ally. So it's a very...different movie. So, is it about a love story that takes place on a teen beach summer hang out and it's a musical? NO! It's much less cheesy and much different from your normal musical! Check out the press release below!

BLUE SKY, GENTLE BREEZE, SUNSHINE AND SWEET HARMONIES

PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN ON "TEEN BEACH MUSICAL,"

A DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE

Starring Ross Lynch, Maia Mitchell, Garrett Clayton,

Grace Phipps, John DeLuca, Chrissie Fit, Kevin Chamberlin and Steve Valentine

Ross Lynch plays Brady 

School's out, surf's up and Disney Channel is taking a dip into the teen beach party movie genre with "Teen Beach Musical," a modern "no more complications, just good vibrations," break into song and dance comedy in which surfer girl McKenzie and her boyfriend Brady literally go into a classic surf movie musical where it's bikers versus surfers -- and they're in for trouble if they don't back down.  While they hatch a plan to get back home to present day, the duo try to blend in as everyone around them spontaneously breaks into song and dance. But when they interfere with the plot of the movie, their fate may be changed forever.

New 'The Avengers' Trailer Looks Exactly Like 'Transformers Dark of the Moon/

Well Marvel fans, you might as well call it Iron Man meets Megatron instead of The Avengers.

The second trailer for the Avengers has been released, and it looks exactly like Transformers Dark of the Moon. The city destruction, the enemy in the film (which of course always has to be an alien), but the graphics don't look as good as the graphics in the Transformers films do. 

One thing I hate the most, is when all these filmmakers decide to copy the style and idea from the Transformers movies, yet people in general never have anything good to say about the films. No doubt this film will get better reviews then Transformers 3, because well critics just hate on the Transformers films.

It's kinda a huge shame that these filmmakers with great characters and origins (like The Avengers filmmakers) have to go the route of making the film about aliens. I can name so many films that take the route of aliens, and always copy the Transformers films with the way the aliens look (robotic), act, sound, etc. Basically everything about the aliens. Films such as this year's Battleship, Skyline, The Avengers, Battle Los Angeles and so much more!

Atleast we can still look forward to The Amazing Spider Man which offers us something new.

That's all I have to say.

Tell me what you think.
-Thanks, TommyTE!

What do you think? Will the sequel make up for the first film...if you think the first film was not good?

Call of Duty: Iron Wolf is Next VG Installment

Hey fans!

Recently there have been rumors that the next Call of Duty game will be Call of Duty Black Ops 2, but that has been confirmed false! The next Call of Duty game will be titled Call of Duty: Iron Wolf.

Call of Duty: Iron Wolf was announced by Activision during the fourth-quarter earnings on February 9th, 2012!
It is promised to a have an innovation full of meaning to the Call of Duty series. It is going to be released late this year. Other than that info, no plot has been released. Probably a trailer will be released during the NBA finals like the past few years.

Well 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 went up against some tough competition. The campaign was called great by fans, but the multiplayer was called the opposite by fans. This year, Call of Duty Iron Wolf is going up even tougher competition. Let's see if it can continue it's streak for beating the other years' games!

I personally think Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 ended the whole Call of Duty series, and I think Call of Duty has had it. Unless Activision and Treyarch can show else something brand new...brand new engine, new graphics, new way of gameplay, brand multiplayer built from scratch and properly enhanced...I think Call of Duty series has met it's end.
Modern Warfare 3 was a great game, and was a perfect way to end the entire COD series as a whole.

Feel free to tell us what you think, by commenting below!

-Thanks, Tommy and Teen Entertainment!

Transformers 4 Confirmed!

Hey fans!

This past summer, the third and last film of the Transformers franchise, Transformers Dark of the Moon, was released. It earned well over one billion dollars worldwide and took place as the 4th Highest Grossing Film of All Time and second of the year 2011, behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Transformers Dark of the Moon has been nominated for three Academy Awards, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects. You can tune in and root the Transformers crew on during the Oscars this Sunday, February 26th @ 7e and 4p.

Now, the director of the Transformers franchise, Michael Bay, has confirmed that there will be a Transformers 4 coming June 27th, 2014. There is no story written or characters thought of, just ideas; the film only has a confirmed release date and is in talks. It will not be reboot but what the producers call, a re-imagining, which is said to be Transformers from a different point of view.

We don't know to many details yet, but the director will be back to start the gear after he finishes his film Pain and Gain with The Rock and a television series he plans to produce.

Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay, and Don Murphy are all returning to produce the next trilogy, but it is not known on whether Shia Labeouf and leading lady Rosie Huntington Whiteley will be returning. Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Tyrese Gibson were pretty optimistic and are dedicated to the franchise, and seem to be happy to return.
