Is the latest superhero movie receiving super reviews? In a word: Yes. Big time. Scroll down for a summary of a few reviews and prepare to a blast into the entertaining past some at some point this weekend…  For those who felt The Last Stand was a poor exit for many of these characters, X-Men: Days of Future Past should at least salve the wound in part. – James Berardinelli The characters – and the performers playing them – step unto the breach to provide just enough wit and feeling to make “Days of Future Past” something other than a waste of a reasonable person’s time. – A.O. Scott Time travel, Peter Dinklage and 1970s kitsch top a very long list of what makes “X-Men: Days of Future Past” such a blast. – Betsy Sharkey In the capable hands of director Bryan Singer, who helmed the first two X-Men films, it’s a nearly seamless adventure ride despite a plot that at times strains credulity. – Bruce Demara An audacious, thrilling adventure that’s the most epic adventure yet featuring everyone’s favorite mutants. – Jeffrey Lyles Days of Future Past manages to never buckle under the weight of its unbelievable foundations to make for the summer’s most satisfying blockbuster so far.  – Rodrigo Perez 33 Memorable Movie Posters 1. Yeezus Movie Poster The first poster for Yeezus is out. Kanye West, of course, is behind the mysterious film.

Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson to Perform at Obama Inauguration

Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor will perform at President Barack Obama’s inauguration as he officially begins his second term this month. Obama was personally involved in selecting the performers . “Their music is often at the heart of the American story and speaks to folks across the country,” said Obama, who won a second term in November. Cuban-American Richard Blanco will become the youngest ever inaugural poet at the quadrennial event, held in Washington D.C. on the 21st of January. He will also be the first Hispanic or gay writer to take the role. Obama said: “Richard’s writing will be wonderfully fitting for an inaugural that will celebrate the strength of the American people and our nation’s great diversity.” For the music, Beyonce will sing the national anthem, Clarkson will perform “My Country Tis of Thee” and Taylor will give his rendition of “America the Beautiful.” Taylor and Beyonce both sang at inaugural balls in 2009 after Obama was elected; her rendition of Etta James’ “At Last” has since become a staple of her live shows. A vocal surrogate for Obama, she also wrote an open letter during the re-election campaign praising “the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be.” She and Jay-Z actively raised funds for Obama as well.

Grammy Awards 2012 Line Up

Continued here:

The two weeks leading up to the Grammy Awards are when we finally get a good idea of who’s performing and who’s presenting. This year’s Grammy Awards, which is this Sunday at 8 p.m. on CBS, will feature about 22 songs being performed. The executive producer of the show says it’s going to be “one of the biggest shows” in the history of the Grammys. Chris Brown, Tony Bennett, and Carrie Underwood are the most recent performers who have been added to the lineup. This will be Chris Brown’s first Grammy performance in three years after he was arrested for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna at a pre-Grammy party in February 2009. He is nominated for three awards at the 2012 Grammys, including Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E. The Foo Fighters will participate in a “special performance highlighting dance/electronica music” at Sunday’s show and will collaborate with an unlikely crew that includes Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, David Guetta and Deadmau5. All five artists are nominated for Grammy Awards this year. Tony Bennett will duet with Carrie Underwood and Alicia Keys will lead an Etta James tribute alongside Bonnie Raitt. The Grammys announced last week that Adele will make her first performance after undergoing vocal-cord surgery. Previously announced Grammy performers include: Katy Perry, Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson, Glen Campbell, The Band Perry, Blake Shelton, Coldplay, Rihanna , Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.

Feds Shutdown Swizz Beatz File Sharing Site, Employees Indicted

Read the original:

File sharing site Megaupload.com has been shutdown by the feds! The employees of the massive site were arrested and indicted “for moving mass quantities of illegal music and movie files online.” Swizz Beatz who is listed as CEO of the site, may be in hot water as well! “We have never received any word that any artist has [individually] filed a take-down . . . [we have] legally binding agreements with the performers that appear in the video . . . They promised that they had the rights to enter into that agreement and it’s not interfering with any third-party rights.” says a Mega rep. The NY Daily Post reports: Swizz Beatz has Sean “Diddy” Combs , Kanye West and Will.i.am in hot water with their label by getting them to promote his site, MegaUpload. The CEO of the Internet company, Beatz — also a recording artist, producer and DJ — persuaded the stars to appear in a “Mega Song” video promoting his service, intended to send large media files. The catch is the music industry has been fighting against file sharing, accusing the services MegaUpload offers of supporting piracy. But after the starry promo appeared on YouTube last month, Diddy, Kanye and Will.i.am’s label, Universal Music Group, issued a “take-down notice” to YouTube, saying the artists’ performances were unauthorized.

Rihanna To Perform With Coldplay At Grammys

‘We Found Love’ singer will join band for ‘Princess of China.’ By Gil Kaufman Rihanna Photo: WireImage Rihanna and Coldplay will perform live together for the first time on February 12 when they take the stage at the 54th annual Grammy Awards for the televised debut of their Mylo Xyloto collaboration, “Princess of China.” Rihanna, nominated for four Grammys this year, broke the news on Twitter , writing, “My friends @ColdPlay and I will be sharing the stage for a performance at this years Annual Grammy Awards!” A short time later she added, “WE reached 2BILLION views on @youtube !!! THANK U!!! I’m in a great mood, and I got some GREAT NEWS!!! PRINCESS OF CHINA #GRAMMYS2012.” The show, which will be hosted by rapper LL Cool J , will also feature a performance by rock icon Paul McCartney, who will join a lineup that already includes Grammy nominees Foo Fighters, Kelly Clarkson, Bruno Marks, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean. At the time Xyloto was released , Coldplay singer Chris Martin explained that the decision to invite another voice into the studio was made because of the unusual story arc of the band’s Grammy-nominated album. “Her bit on our record is my favorite bit. … When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it. And I think at this point, we have nothing to lose, and so we’ve been trying some new things and trying to break down the perceived boundaries between different types of music,” Martin told MTV News. “Our new record is sort of a story; it’s not quite a musical, but it’s dangerously close. There’s a bit of a love-story thread, so we really needed someone to sing even higher than me,” Martin said. “[It’s] hard, but very possible. You need to be a female really. For all [drummer] Will [Champion]’s good intentions, he [can’t do it] … “… So, in like a dream scenario, we had a song that I’d secretly kind of written to see if Rihanna would want to sing it,” Martin continued. “And then the rest of the band wanted to keep it, so we came up with the idea of asking her to sing it with us, and, to our great surprise, she said OK.” More Grammy performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

Brennin Hunt: An X Factor Original

Brennin Hunt is a 26-year old model who said on The X Factor last night that he’s “the total package.” Not exactly the best way to endear oneself to an audience. But then Hunt stopped talking and starting singing, delivering a strong performance on an original track, always a bold step for any contestant to take. Simon Cowell was certainly impressed, saying he could turn Brennin into a major star. Do you see the same potential? Brennin Hunt X Factor Audition Among other performers we adored last night: Jazzlyn Little and Tora Woloshin .
