We are enjoying the newest celebrity relationship. No, we are not talking about the pairing of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, but that of rockers and Call of Duty. Most recently, we told you ShockYa readers about Avenged Sevenfold creating a song, “Not Ready To Die”, for Call of Duty: Black Ops, but now we have a new announcement regarding the online video game and music. On September 2nd at 8pm, Dropkick Murphys will perform at the opening night of the first ever “Call of Duty XP”, the destination for Call of Duty gamers worldwide. With their Irish punk roots in Quincy, Mass., the Dropkick Murphys will spread their American…

Title: The Hedgehog Director: Mona Achache Starring: Garance Le Guillermic, Josiane Balasko, Togo Igawa Somewhere, no doubt, adult film actor and shameless publicity whore Ron Jeremy is kicking himself over finding out that there exists a movie entitled “The Hedgehog” in which he is not the star, or the beneficiary of a large life-rights check. No, director Mona Achache’s movie is no hairy skin-flick biopic, but instead a darkly comedic broadside aimed at stuffy French elitism, a movie very loosely of a sort with “Gosford Park” and the forthcoming “The Women on the 6th Floor,” written and directed by Philippe Le Guay. Based on Muriel Barbery’s 2006 French-language novel “The Elegance…

Title: God Bless Ozzy Osbourne Movie Review Directors: Mike Fleiss & Mike Piscitelli Starring: Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Paul McCartney, Tommy Lee, Sharon Osbourne In a society of like-minded people, who foamed at the mouth when VH1′s Behind the Music pulled back the curtain on heralded rock star debauchery of yesteryear, fans of these respective bands believed they were given the whole story. To a certain extent, they were. But after watching God Bless Ozzy Osbourne…Behind the Music can eat their heart out. Or better yet – and more appropriately, bite their head off. Produced by Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne, the 90 minute-plus documentary doesn’t just peel back the curtain…it…

We have frequently compared compilation albums to history textbooks. Both keep the dated information they harbor relevant from one generation to the next. Cover albums also serve a similar role, but we find their impact on society to be much more influential than that of “greatest hits” albums. These cover tunes prove that music is constantly on the move, but the sounds defined by past artists are never left behind. The lyrics and basic melodies of these songs remind us of the original bands that wrote them, but listeners can also hear beats and vocals that resemble music of the current decade. A single physical object can radiate magic from…

Vera Farmiga is a wonderfully talented actress, but with her self-effacing laugh, easy disposition and comfortable slouch, she has a lot of work to do before she perfects the character of a swaggering director. She swears life behind the camera wasn’t a burning professional goal of hers, but Farmiga spent several years work-shopping a screenplay based on Carolyn Briggs’ “The Dark World” with Briggs and fellow writer Tim Metcalfe. The result is her wonderfully subtle directorial debut, “Higher Ground,” and it’s as full-bodied, honest and moving a portrait of a young, fundamentally religious family, and all the struggles they experience, as has ever been put to screen — perhaps no small…

Title: The Debt Director: John Madden Starring: Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas, Tom Wilkinson, Jesper Christensen, Ciaran Hinds, Romi Aboulafia The Debt is one of those movies where one simply needs to read the synopsis when deciding whether or not to give this a look. It’s a balanced spy-thriller where there is just as much rhetoric as there is old-school action sequences – due to the fact that this 114 minute flick takes place in Germany in 1965. Knowing that, the script is penned by the fantastical Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class), who has found a way to blend substantial moments with over-the-top fun in his…

President Obama called Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom, to apologize to him and the Guatemalan people about new information leaking out about horrific U.S. experiments done to Guatemalans in the 1940s. According to The Huffington Post, a presidential panel revealed terrible details of the medical experiments, which included re-infecting a dying woman in a syphilis study. Even though the experiments are already a blight on American medical research, panel members have said the new information shows just how unethical the researchers were, even when their actions are placed in the historical context of a different time. Anita Allen, a member of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, said,…

The article doesn’t have a transcription of what the heckler exactly said, but there is a transcription of what Williams said in response.
