Five Reasons To See ‘Battleship’
Unless you happen to be madly in love with Taylor Kitsch or Brooklyn Decker, some of you have no doubt written “Battleship” off as a cheap imitation of “Transformers.” How can an alien invasion action film based on a board game be all that entertaining, right? Well, we have a feeling you’ll be pleasantly surprised. [...]

New iPad Battery Life
The new iPad has the same battery life as the iPad 2. This may strike some as peculiar because the iPad 3 has a new more highly-powered battery. However, although the battery does carry more juice, this is offset by the new features of the iPad 3 which require more power, for example the high-definition Retina display and the 4G connectivity. That said, the new iPad battery life is still perfectly reasonable and is suitable both for casual at-home use [...]
Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Dictator’ Is A Snooki ‘Supporter’
Admiral General Aladeen also confesses to the murders of Tupac and Biggie Smalls during MTV News interview.

“Welcome! Death to the West!” That is how the Dictator greeted MTV News’ Josh Horowitz when he sat down with him for an interview.
latest infamous character is Admiral General Aladeen, a dictator who oppresses his people and dislikes democracy. In “The Dictator,” he’s mistaken for a refugee and taken under the wing of Zoey, played by Anna Faris. Aladeen’s misadventures in America lead to an array of hilarious culture clashes. Thus, the interview was nothing less than we’d expect — offensive, outrageous and, yes, very, very funny.
After inquiring about Horowitz’s knowledge of the rapper Tupac Shakur, the Dictator reveals it was him who killed the MC. “He came to play at my birthday party and all the time he get on the microphone, and you know what he tell me?” Aladeen questioned. “You know what he tell me? He said, ‘Put your hands’ — he ordered me! — he ordered me to put my hands in the air and wave them like I just don’t care. Why would I, Dictator, wave my hands like I don’t care? I wave my hands like I do care, like this. I don’t do it like I don’t care. How dare he come to my palace and my birthday and tell me how to wave my hands like I don’t care? I care about the hands!”
Apparently someone forgot to inform the tyrant that it’s a figure of speech here in America.
“To put your hands in the air like you don’t care?” he continued. “You think Hitler put his hands in the air like he don’t care? It was a very careful gesture that he did. I won’t do it here. And this Biggie Smalls, he then performed the next night for my weekend of birthday. That fat bastard ate all of the buffet. It cost over 120 Euros per head.”
When our correspondent noted that his phrase is not respectful to the dead, the admiral general replied, “It’s not respectful to the people who wanted to eat the buffet.”
Note to self: Eat before heading to Aladeen’s palace. Although, it’s possible not much eating will take place on a trip to his home. Shortly after assuring Horowitz he has nothing to worry about and sliding a gun on the table between them, he talked of his latest tryst with reality-TV star Kim Kardashian.
“I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of [stars in America] that come to the palace and negotiate with the pimps,” he said. “Kim Kardashian, she came two weeks ago. I negotiated with her pimp, who is also her mother. Three-hundred-thousand dollars for one hour — not bad. Good rate.”
But Kardashian isn’t the only American entertainer the Dictator is fond of. He happens to enjoy Snooki and has a list of movies he’s enjoyed — one of which is definitely in the wrong category.
“I am a huge supporter of your Snooki,” he said. “I find him a very funny, little, orange man. And we have many of your sci-fi and fantasy films like ‘Transformers’ or ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Schindler’s List.’ ”
Check out everything we’ve got on “The Dictator.”

Droid RAZR MAXX by Mototrola Review
I recently spent two weeks with the Droid RAZR MAXX by Motorola. This phone runs on Verizon’s 4G LTE and its claim to fame is battery life. It is very similar to the recently released RAZR, just thicker to accommodate the larger battery. I can’t tell you how excited I am that someone finally designed a phone [...]

Rebecca Blake: Swinging in Dubai PHOTOS
Rebecca Blake has earned quite the Internet name for herself after being accuses of having relations in a taxi in Dubai. So what’s the big deal, and why is this news? Well, because being caught doing something like that in Dubai is a pretty big deal. In fact, Blake could be facing up to three years in jail. Even with plans for the most futuristic hotel in the world (above), they apparently have old fashioned views. What are the actual charges? Well, so far, they are related to being drunk in public and having sex outside of marriage. Don’t you just love how the government cares about your sex life over there? Not only do they care, but they feel the need to lock people up for it. It’s unbelievable. Blake is a British businesswoman who works as a consultant. She happened to be in Dubai at a bar called The Irish Village Bar where she allegedly met a man named Conor McRedmond. According to reports, they must have both had their beer-goggles on because they were soon jumping into a cab and playing tonsil hockey. The cabby was already upset that they were kissing, which is ridiculous enough. But [...]
