Congratulations to Movieline’s iPad Winners!

It finally happened: after weeks of teasing , Movieline’s big ol’ iPad giveaway handed out four copies of Apple’s shiny, brand-spanking new device (no, not that one ). As for that fifth free iPad…that’s where we have an unexpected, suspenseful twist.

Is Human Centipede 2010’s Most Barfiest Movie?

“You do it.” “No, you do it.” “I really think you should be the one covering it.” There is a game of Hot Potato that we’ve played at Movieline HQ over the past few months, and it has to do with a gross little movie called Human Centipede .

Now, Movieline revisits ten videos that rejiggered moments from film history to staggering effect. Do you want stark Orson Welles shoutouts?

How Did Ugly Betty Stack Up Against Television’s Other Magazine Workplaces?

As the actual magazine industry contracts and the number of scripted television series plummets, it makes sense that the number of scripted television series about magazines — fashion, sports, tabloids, whatever — dwindles, too. With that sad realization in mind, it’s time to prepare for tonight’s emotional finale of Ugly Betty and the likely extinction of this narrow genre. In a tribute to all the onscreen assistants who’ve ever gotten coffee for their villainous editors and the comically overworked journalists who rushed to meet impossible deadlines, Movieline looks back at the magazine-set shows that paved the way for Betty Suarez’s Mode magazine.

Introducing Gleebasing: Your Guide to Glee’s High and Low Notes

Glee is kind of like crack. The first time you do it, you get an incredible high, but as you continue using, you feel less euphoric and more chemically dependent. You become paranoid (“Schu is trying to Benedict Arnold his own club!”), delusional (“Cory Monteith actually has a really good voice!”) and pretty soon, you’re shivering in the bathtub with a Glee soundtrack skipping in the living room and no more clean spoons in the house. If you share the same weakness, join Movieline each week to relive the highs, work through the lows, and earn extra credit off of your addiction. And pay attention — there will be a pop quiz.
