Move over, Donald Trump . Ben Carson is here to prove that you may not be the craziest candidate in the field of 2016 Presidential nominees. The Republican hopeful, who is now leading many national polls among the GOP, has released a new 60-second campaign ad… which comes in the form of a rap song. Seriously. According to ABC News, the $150,000 radio ad buy (titled “Freedom”) will air for two weeks in Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, Birmingham, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, Memphis, Tennessee and Little Rock, Arkansas. The spot is meant to appeal to young African-America votes, featuring rapper Aspiring Mogul on the main vocals. But his spit-out verses are interspersed with portions of Carson’s stump speech. “America became a great nation early on not because it was flooded with politicians but because it was flooded with people who understood the value of personal responsibility, hard work, innovation and that’s what will get us on the right track now,” Carson says between Mogul’s rap. He later adds: “I’m very hopeful that I'm not the only one that’s willing to pick up the baton to freedom. “Because freedom is not free and we must fight for it every day. Every one of us must fight for us because we are fighting for our children and the next generation.” The aim of the this commercial ad is to motivate the urban market, with Carson believing he can take down Hillary Clinton is he wins 20 percent of the black vote next year. “Reaching them on a level they appreciate and follow and see if we can attract their consciousness about the election,” Carson campaign spokesman Doug Watts told ABC News. “They need to get involved and express their voice through their vote.” This is a real campaign ad. We are not making it up.
” Chapter One: He adored New York City .” As images and reports rolled in from Hurricane Sandy ‘s destructive tour through the Big Apple I thought of my East Coast friends and family affected by the storm, and of Manhattan , Woody Allen ‘s great cinematic ode to the city — his city: Tough, romantic, and everything in between. All those terrifying images of flooded streets and New York at an unimaginable standstill reminded me of happier times, by way of the magical moments the movies have seared into my consciousness over the years. This photo for example, taken Monday near the 59th Street Bridge as Sandy approached New York, depicted surging waters looming near where Allen and Diane Keaton shot Manhattan ‘s iconic bridge scene — one of the most beautiful, dreamy moments of New York there is. The New York that was beaten up, wind-whipped, and deluged over the past few days is a scary, unrecognizable New York. But the spirit of New York (and New Jersey, not to mention other affected cities and states along the East Coast) endures as folks begin rebuilding. I go back to the New York — romanticized, yes, but alive and bustling the way that NYC should be and will be again — of Manhattan ‘s opening scene, which flashes through the city as Allen’s voice-over and George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” bring it to life. Even if only brief respites from the reality of what folks have to deal with out there, the movies can remind us of what makes life worth living; feel free to add your own indelible NYC movies and moments below. Meanwhile, NYC Movieliners Brian Brooks, Frank DiGiacomo, and Alison Willmore are powering through the insanity, as you’ll see in the coming days. Send good vibes and warm thoughts their way.

Brad Pitt famously proclaimed he wouldn’t get married again until all couples have a legal right to do so, and despite his recent engagement to Angelina Jolie, it looks like that long-held position is still weighing on his consciousness. He’s certainly not in any hurry to get to the altar. “We actually, really and truly, have no date,” Pitt said at a press conference for Killing Them Softly during the Cannes Film Festival Tuesday. “It’s just something that makes sense to us, and date-wise, it’s just a rumor . We’re still hoping that we can figure out marriage equality before that date.” Which isn’t to say Brad Pitt’s proposal was any less magical. “Angelina cried and smiled,” a source said of the moment. “And everyone hugged once she put it on. She went around and showed it to each of the kids.” Though Pitt and his bride-to-be typically attend the Cannes Film Festival together, Jolie was noticeably M.I.A. at the famed gathering this year. “She’s actually not here right now. She’s prepping for a movie she starts very soon,” Pitt explained of Angie’s latest project, Maleficent . [Photo: WENN.com]

We’ve got a long way to go until The Host hits theaters some time in 2013, but the first teaser trailer for the upcoming thriller is already online. Based on a book by Stephenie Meyer – who penned something else called The Twilight Saga – The Host tells the story of an alien species that takes over the consciousness of human beings on Earth. But these aliens didn’t account for Saoirse Ronan’s Melanie, who fights back against the invaders. Check out the first trailer now, but be warned: the film hasn’t even completed shooting yet. This just a preliminary tease. But it’s a pretty darn intriguing one. The Host Teaser Trailer
