Goodnight iPad: Goodnight Moon for a new generation






I remember reading Goodnight Moon as a kid. It looks like it's getting a funny, modern update to include all the technology that distracts us from sleeping night after night. I know there are plenty of nights (and mornings!) where I just lie in bed on my iPhone, catching up on tweets and Facebook, instead of sleeping.

Music Monday: Midnight City by M83















This may be in a Victoria Secret commercial, but it's still a pretty awesome song! Have you discovered any other great tracks from commercials and television?

SNL Highlight: Everyone Cries to Adele's "Someone Like You"






















The best sketch of the night was definitely the last sketch, so if you couldn't stay up to watch the cast cry together to Adele's soulful ballad "Someone Like You" then you can watch this shoddy pirated version right here. Unfortunately, because of music streaming rights this sketch and my other favorite sketch "Les Jeunes Des Paris" aren't available on Hulu.

Watch them cry after the break, quick before NBC takes offline:

SNL Highlight: Emma Stone's Opening Monologue with Spider-Man

Emma Stone did a fantastic job as host of this week's Saturday Night Live. This was her second time appearing on the show, and I hope she comes back for many more.

She's been busy joining the exciting world of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with (rumored beau) Andrew Garfield. Check out her hilarous opening monologue where Andy Samberg takes on the role of Spider-Man and rehashes the same monologue from the 2001 Spider-man monlogue with Kristen Dunst. Watch the full monologue after the break.

IMMORTALS is the best new release this week

Today is 11/11/11 and there was a big marketing push around that for a few movies, particularly IMMORTALS. But what else came out today? Apparently, not much in terms of quality...

J. Edgar has the pedigree with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood involved. However, the reviews have been pretty mixed, given that caliber of talent.

Jack and Jill is so obviously terrible that I really don't need to get into it here.

And that leaves IMMORTALS. I saw it a couple weeks ago and while it's not a great Greek epic and certainly doesn't live up to 300, it was definitely an enjoyable watch thanks to some stellar visuals, amazing 3D, and visionary fight scenes. You can ready my full review on NapiersNews.com. 

And for those of my readers who are also fans of The Vampire Diaries, the evil king's sniveling sidekick is TVD's Klaus! He's way better at being evil than being evil's sidekick though. I was pretty disappointed he didn't get a chance to really shine - he was basically the movie's punching bag throughout.

If you see IMMORTALS this weekend, let me know your thoughts in the comments!
