A.J. McLean: Have It All
by Pamelamok
Have It All is the debut album from American singer A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys. It was released in the Philippines last February 12.
The album is AJ’s first as a solo artist, although he once toured on his own as alter-ego Johnny No Name. McLean promises that fans will take notice of the video for his first single, “Teenage Wildlife,” thanks to its slightly risqué vibe. “Wade Robson’s doing the video. He’s also choreographing it,” McLean told MTV News. “It’s his directorial debut, so it’s gonna be awesome. The song’s a song called ‘Teenage Wildlife.’ It was written by JC Chasez.” [2]
For the album, McLean worked with a number of hitmakers like Ryan Tedder, who also worked with the Backstreet Boys on their latest release, This Is Us. “It’s kind of a cross between a little bit of rock and funk and a little bit of dance,” McLean said of his debut. “It’s a well-rounded record. I’m really proud of it and I’ve been working on it for almost five years. It’s going to be a great, great record..
“Cloudy” Movie: Entertaining, with a chance of winning awards
by Pauline Dizon
Two of the things I like are cartoons and food. So when Sony made a cartoon film about food (with the extremely long title of “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”), I HAD to watch it.
The setting is the fishing village of Swallow Falls, where our hero, Flint Lockwood, has dreamt of becoming an inventor since he was a child. After a series of failed experiments (spray-on shoes, flying cars, ratbirds), his dad Tim convinces him to give up inventing and work in their tackle shop…okay not quite. Flint has one more invention up his sleeve: a machine that can convert water into food (now we could all use something like that). Since the nationwide drop in sardine consumption, Swallow Falls’ economy has been in a slump, and Flint’s convinced that his invention will save them – from eating too many sardines, apparently..
