You'll Fall in Love With Listening to Tegan and Sara's "Heartthrob!"
By: Sarah Messer
Tegan and Sara's 7th album release is far from what you would expect from this veteran duo. Most fans know their signature indie style that feature deep cutting/emotional lyrics. Hearthrob isn't necessarily a change from the style, but merely just a different point of view or maybe, dare I say, style evolution.
Fans of the beloved album, "The Con" may find themselves somewhat at a lost at first, but no doubt it won't be long before they come around. It isn't guitar filled tracks; its melodic, hip, pop meets hipster driven beats. Each song is unique with the only similarities being how every song keeps your toe tapping, or head bouncing with its catchy constructed tunes.
Some definite stand outs on this album after a first listen are "I Was a Fool," a power ballad that is sure to win over even the toughest critic. Lyrically, this song is a wonderful, honest, story and the listener can definitely feel what Tegan is trying to convey.
"Drove Me Wild," is one of the catchiest tunes on the album. Every time this song comes on, one can only picture people standing in front of their mirror or in their bed room jumping around singing with their make-shift microphone.
"Love They Say," is an acoustic-style ballad. Again, another lyric driven song, you start to really see that this whole album is very personal.
Last but not least, there's "Closer.," Obviously, this track stood out from the day it was released as the first single. It quickly became one of the most popular songs on the radio. This song speaks for itself.
Fall in love with this album today! You can pick it up at most places where music is sold or download it on Itunes. You can also order it here:

A "Beautiful," Supernatural Love Story Falls Onto Blu-ray and DVD! "Beautiful Creatures" is Now Yours To Keep!
Ethan is just a small-town boy who falls for Lena who is anything but a small town girl. New to town, Lena is mysterious and interesting and nothing like the girls that Ethan has had as classmates in the past. The two high-school students develop a strong bond that they feel will endure anything.
Only like most everybody in town, Lena's family is harboring some serious secrets. Only their kinds of secrets are those of the not-of-this-world variety. It's understandable that her family wants to keep her far away from Ethan.
It's just a matter of time before Lena's dark secrets are revealed. Will her family be able to destroy true love or will Ethan even care once he knows her truth? Pick up a copy of "Beautiful Creatures" on Blu-ray or DVD (available May 21) to watch the pieces of this love story unfold.
The incredible cast includes Alden Ehrenreich as Ethan and Alice Englert as Lena. Notable names also include Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, Thomas Mann and Emma Thompson.
Bonus material on the Blu-ray includes behind-the-scenes features like "Book to Screen," "The Casters," and "Beautiful Creatures: Designing the Costumes." Deleted scenes and theatrical trailers are also part of the extras on the Blu-ray Combo Pack.

Play "Wreck-It Ralph" Over and Over Again at Home! The Academy-Award Nominated Feature Film Arrives on Blu-ray and DVD!
A lot of hype has surrounded Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph," a computer-animated adventure set in a video game world. Such an original concept is always a risk for filmmakers, but mile-a-minute jokes, spunky characters, and a dash of nostalgia make this an endearing romp through a digital universe.
See a clip from the movie here:
As the villain of the game "Fix-It Felix Jr." (whose title character is voiced by 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer), Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) spends each day destroying the Niceland apartment complex. Each time, Felix repairs the building, earns a shiny medal, and leads the inhabitants in throwing Ralph over the edge. After thirty years of repeating these same actions and being the brunt of dislike, Ralph wishes for something more. Despite affirmations from his support group-which includes Bowser and Doctor Robotnik-that "you're bad, but that's good," Ralph sets off on a quest to earn a medal like Felix's, in hopes that it will win him a spot on the roof among friends. Before long, Ralph starts releasing trouble throughout the arcade and unwittingly leaves his own game in danger of being unplugged, leaving all of its characters homeless. In order to save the inhabitants of multiple worlds, including his unlikely friend Vanellope (Sarah Sliverman), Ralph must learn that being good or bad goes beyond labels and instead depends upon the choices we make.
See another clip here:
Adults will enjoy the cameos of classic video game characters like Sonic, Qbert, and Pac-Man (even Pong makes a brief appearance), and kids will have fun with the characters and settings. Audiences of all ages should appreciate the jokes, which range from visual gags and heavy puns to subtle winks at those who remember NES and Atari. A number of gags require the viewer to sit up and listen in order to catch them, which will make this a movie worthy of re-watching.
Bonus material on the Blu-ray + DVD combo includes deleted and alternate scenes, video game commercials and the special feature "Bit by Bit: Creating the Worlds of Wreck it Ralph. " See a clip from the bonus material below:
Get on board with this "sure- to- be- a- favorite" new home video release by picking it up at most places where DVD and Blu-rays are sold. You can also order on-line here: Wreck It Ralph

Complete Your Collection! The Final Piece of the "Twilight Saga" Puzzle Lands on Blu-ray and DVD! There's Even More to See as an "Extended Part I" is Available as Well! "Breaking Dawn: Parts 1 and 2" are Yours to Keep Forever!
It's been a long and satisfying journey for fans of the "Twilight" series who discussed every aspect (at great length) of their beloved books being turned into a movie franchise. After a low-budget start, their favorite characters finally got the big-screen attention they deserve, especially with the intense final chapter, "Breaking Dawn: Part Two" that could have only been told with a hefty special effects price tag.
March 2 couldn't get here fast enough as not one, but two exciting releases hit shelves. "Breaking Dawn: Part 1 - Extended Edition" was released with 8 extra minutes of never-before-seen footage. The Blu-ray and/or DVD (both include digital download copies as well) also feature an optional audio commentary with director Bill Condon.
See the trailer for the film here:
Add this title to your Twilight collection by picking it up at most places where home entertainment is sold. You can also order on-line here:
Breaking Dawn: Part 1 - Extended Edition
Part 2
It's a bittersweet arrival as "Breaking Dawn: Part 2" comes to Blu-ray and DVD. Though fans couldn't wait to own this action-packed adventure and watch it a thousand times in their own home, this signals the end of the "Twilight Saga" movie era.
The love story between Bella, a mere mortal and Edward, a kind-hearted vampire, has spanned over five feature films and has taken more than four years to tell. Their journey ends here with life and death choices that find them seeking help from everyone they know in an epic battle that found die-hards screaming, "That is NOT what happened in the book!"
Bonus material on the Blu-ray and DVD include a seven-part "Making of" documentary that chronicles the cast and crew as they make two movies at once! There is also an audio commentary by director, Bill Condon, as he recalls his thoughts during filming and recalls details that only a director can share.

Oz the Great and Powerful
Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well. Opens March 8. Disney.
