Dying here. Anna Kendrick quickly  is becoming one of my favourite People and in addition to turning heads at the GRAMMY Awards last weekend as a Presenter,  now here she is killing us dead with this Mockumentary-esque non-Super Bowl TV Spot for Newcastle Beer.  We learn that the Ad was to be made, but they simply didn’t have the money to execute it.

To be honest, I’d never even heard of Newcastle Beer before today… but now I will never forget!

“Am I Beer Commercial-Hot?”, she ponders. “No.  But I love a challenge”.

Watch Kendrick‘s Newcastle TV Spot:

Not sure it was quite a musical match made-in-heaven, but Madonna and Miley Cyrus‘ much-talked-about Collaboration on the latter’s MTV Unplugged Taping quickly has surfaced! Gyrating, butt-patting, Cowboy Hats and Boots! This Performance is everything.

Madonna surprised Miley Fans in Los Angeles the other night joining the Pop Star for a custom-concocted Mash-Up their Hits respectively, Don’t Tell Me and We Can’t Stop.  Thematically it works we suppose, with the former sporting a Country Vibe and Miley proudly displaying her Country Roots.  But sonically? You be the Judges!

Last year’s Budwiser Clydesdales Super Bowl TV Spot had me in tears and although I didn’t cry as hard this time, I still am a mess after seeing what they had to offer us this year. Many of you might remember the running Story in Budweiser‘s Super Bowl TV Ads. A Farmer raised an adorable Clydesdale Pony, but they Pony had to grow-up and achieve his destiny of being a Show Pony. One day their paths crossed again and well… I can’t even retell it without tearing up. Watch it here.

Simply beautiful.

This other TV Spot gives a Hero’s Welcome Home to returning Soldiers and those Budweiser Clydesdales once again play a pivotal role:

The fitting Hashtag #BESTBUDS is being used to promote the TV Spot. I don’t drink Budweiser, but cannot deny they nail it every year. Love it.

UFC Fans can celebrate knowing that TAKEDOWN: THE DNA OF GSP is about to hit theatres!  The Documentary, released by Remstar Films, promises to give Fans intimate access to perhaps the great Mixed Martial Artist ever!

Official Synopsis:

TAKEDOWN: THE DNA OF GSP is a feature-length documentary about Georges St-Pierre (aka GSP), reigning UFC Welterweight Champion, and arguably the greatest Mixed Martial Artist of all time. This gentle Warrior grew up in St-Isidore, Quebec. Bullied at school, he learned karate to defend himself and never looked back. He rocketed to the world championship at age 26, only to lose it in his first title defense. GSP fought back and regained his Title, but then suffered a potential career-ending knee injury. He clawed his way back again in an epic battle against Carlos Condit. From there, he defeated his long-time Rival Nick Diaz, the baddest boy in the UFC, whose psychological war of nerves almost got GSP. But like a great champion GSP, handled it all. The Film transforms the violence of ultimate fighting into visual poetry, and uses innovative techniques to convey GSP’s internal state of mind. His admiration for the Darwinian force of nature is conveyed in the Film using the motif of following a lone wolf. Powerful animated sequences also reflect the enormous influence of Eastern philosophy on GSP, a Man who is a true Athlete, and a Master strategist who loves his Sport.

Watch the Trailer below:

Canadians will get a chance to see TAKEDOWN: THE DNA OF GSP in its limited theatrical run, showing February 20 (7:30 PM), February 22 (4 PM) and February 24, 2014 (7:30 PM).

Presales Nationwide are on now. More on which Theatres will be showing the Documentary here.

“How you ever noticed how in Hollywood Movies the Villains are played by Brits?”.

Jaguar absolutely nails it with this brand new Super Bowl TV Spot to premiere this weekend!  The Commercial brings together famous Thespians known for their work as Villains, a soon-to-be-in-Toronto Tom Hiddleston, Ben Kingsley and Mark Strong, together in a super-slick minute-long Advertisement for the British luxury Car Maker’s F-Type Coupe.

Wouldn’t you agree this in itself looks much in itself like a big-budget Blockbuster? The Hashtag #GoodToBeBad is being used to promote the Ad on Twitter.

I know little about Football, I know sure as heck that I’m super-excited about those Ads that premiere before the World.  After having discovered the amazingness that is Sodastream – a Do-It-Yourself Home Soda Maker – at the Delicious Food Show last Fall, I have been obsessing ever since about owning one.  They are just ridiculously sleek and sexy, hence it is so fitting that Scarlett Johansson has been named an Ambassador for the bubbly Brand.  Hot!

Check-out Johansson‘s first-ever Sodastream TV Spot, to premiere during the Super Bowl this Sunday:
