Videos: Elysium Official Trailer #2
Another trailer has just been released for Elysium, the upcoming sci-fi action film staring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. The film, set in 2154, depicts a divide between humanity with the majority consigned to an unstable and rugged existence on an overpopulated Earth while the privileged enjoy a crime-, war-, hunger-, and sickness-free life in Elysium, a massive utopian metropolis floating above earth. Damon plays Max DeCosta, a man stricken with cancer who intends to get to Elysium to be cured, very much against the wishes of Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Foster). Elysium is appropriately helmed by South African-Canadian director Neill Blomkamp, whose 2009 hit District 9 similarly explored themes related to class, immigration and segregation in the future. Elysium is scheduled to hit theaters August 9th.

Videos: Jalen Explains NBA Nightclub Culture
With the New York Knicks out of the playoffs, there are plenty finger pointing to go around. One of the many assumptions why the Knicks didn't advance to the next round belongs to J.R. Smith, who may have let his off-the-field lifestyle conflict with his on-the-court performance. But, here's Jalen Rose to the rescue. In a recent appearance on Grantland, Jalen made a case that certain players, J.R. included, need to go out to the clubs. Sounds ridiculous but why don't you check out the video and hear him out. It may actually make some sense after all. Enjoy.
