Legal MP3 for the Week of Christmas: Kari Jobe - "Adore Him"



Kari Jobe's "Adore Him" is a gorgeous song from an various artist collection of Christmas worship songs called "Worship and Adore: A Christmas Offering". Whether intentionally or not, "Adore Him" rips off (or tributes?) Oscar winner "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova while taking its chorus from "O Come All Ye Faithful". The result is quite nice. Enjoy.

Download the MP3 here.

Movie Trailer for the Week of Christmas - "Nativity!"

I don't know why so many British movies never make it to the states. This one looks promising. Nativity! stars Martin Freeman (BBC's The Office), Ashley Jensen (Extras, Ugly Betty), Marc Wootton, and a slew of improving kids. It released in the UK about a month ago. Maybe we can watch it on DVD next year.

Music Videos of the Week: Grizzly Bear - "Two Weeks" & Paramore - "Brick By Boring Brick"

In keeping with the twofer trailer offer this week, here are two music videos I enjoy quite a bit. The first is Grizzly Bear's creepy "Two Weeks". The second is Paramore's "Brick By Boring Brick", a gorgeous video. And I have to say Haley looks pretty darn great with blonde hair.

Movie Trailer of the Week - Greenberg / Salt

I couldn't decide this week. On one hand you have Greenberg, the first Ben Stiller film since 1998's Permanent Midnight to showcase his dramatic acting ability. It was directed by Noah Baumbach, who previously helmed movies such Kicking and Screaming (1995), Mr. Jealousy, The Squid and the Whale, and Margot at the Wedding.

On the other hand, I've been wanting to post the butt kicking trailer for Salt starring Angelina Jolie for a while now. It just looks so good and the trailer literally brought me to the edge of my seat with excitement.

So, here are both. The quiet and the loud. The small and the big. Watch them here or watch them in hi-def at Apple the links under their names.

Praise God, "Mass: We Pray" is fake.

Turns out "Mass: We Pray" was a brilliant viral marketing campaign from EA Games for their upcoming game Dante's Inferno. When you click "Pre-order now" at the Mass: We Pray site you are now taken to a screen that states the following:

"He who betrays the beliefs of the Church blackens his soul with the sin of Heresy. A Mass not celebrated by ordained priest or on consecrated soil is naught but false ritual condemned by clergy. Thou hast befouled thine eyes with the filth of profane works and betrayed all things sacred. For thy punishment, thou shalt be damned to burn in flaming tombs and hang from enflamed crosses. An an eternity of infernal fire will not cleanse thee."

That sets up a video trailer for Dante's Inferno, coming in February of next year.


All of this must make the people who truly believed "Mass" was real feel really silly. Specifically this girl (warning: she likes profanity).
