AMV Spotlight of the Week

Since this weekend is Star Wars Reads Day I decided to go with a Star Wars AMV.  This AMV spotlights YouTuber “SaiTorrsVideos”.  The song “Let it Rock” performed by Kevin Rudolf (featuring Lil Wayne) was edited to a variety of Bounty Hunter scenes from The Clone Wars.  The songs a great upbeat song and fits the attitude of the bounty hunters perfectly.  Editing between scenes was very smooth and was fun to watch.  The only negative I have is that the end is chopped off, instead of letting the song fade out.  Great job “SaiTorresVideos”.  You can check out the AMV below or find it on YouTube under “Star Wars The Clone Wars – Bounty Hunter Tribute – Let it Rock”:

Pitch Perfect gets Wide Release

Pitch Perfect proved to the industry last week that it is worthy of a wide release.  With just a limited release the movie still made it into the top 10 grossing movies last week.  So here it is for everyone else.  All of the Glee fans will definitely love it and anyone interested in music will probably have a good time as well.  Thanks to YahooMovies for the trailer:

Star Wars Reads Day

I know that some libraries took advantage of this and several book stores have.  Everyone will have to check with their local library and/or book store to see if they are participating in the 1st Annual Star Wars Reads Day.  It is this coming Saturday so be sure to get out and have some fun.  And if you are interested and want your library to do this again next year you might see if you can help out in any way (volunteering, help with snacks, or display items…What ever you can think of).  If your library didn’t do it this year, have your staff consider it for next year.  This is one event that spans all generations it seems.  All of you out there have fun this Saturday and “May the Force be with You”.
