Horror movies about ‘influencers’ seem to be getting made more and more. If you are unsure what an influencer is exactly then a quick Google search will show you – ‘To put it simply, an influencer is any person who influences the behaviour of others. In a marketing context, influencers are individuals who collaborate with brands to promote products or services to their audience.’ Perhaps unsurprisingly, influencers in most films I have seen, come across as generally unlikeable. And that’s pretty much the case with Mean Spirited.
In the movie, a struggling YouTuber spends a few days with friends in the middle of nowhere in the hope of proven that his former friend (now a moderately famous actor) is an awful person who left him high and dry.

Tim Kring’s Touch started off as a mediocre drama that packaged coincidence together with logic and wrapped it up in a tiny little box of autism. However, if you stuck with the drama, which I thankfully did, you were exposed to quite possibly the best feel-good drama of the 2012 TV season. Touch is a series that makes you think that the impossible can happen and that the problems of the world, specifically your own, can be fixed if the right sequence of events fall into the correct ratio. Sure, sometimes the scenarios can be outlandish. Sometimes you may get hit with a story arc that takes place in outer space, but has something to do with the buying and selling of children. Yet, these far-fetched situations seamlessly ground the show in one word – hope. Something we can all use.
Touch heads into its 2-hour finale with several looming questions.

From a thank-you cam to reality-show dancers, the 2010 Academy Awards will break from tradition.

The Academy Awards have been around for 82 years. During that time, the show has given the world hundreds of thank-you speeches, musical numbers and uncomfortable on-camera loser reactions. This year, however, things are shaping up to be quite different.
Boasting the tagline "You've never seen Oscar like this," producers Adam Shankman ("Hairspray" director, choreographer) and Bill Mechanic (former Fox honcho, "Coraline" producer) are hard at work tweaking tradition. We already know the biggest change: 10 Best Picture nominees instead of five. Now, with only 19 days until the year's biggest awards show takes center stage, here are a few more key tweaks hoping to shake the cobwebs off a Hollywood institution:
No Thank You
If you're an Oscar winner's spouse, mother, dog or lawyer, the awards show can mean a special...

Although it was rumored this week that Neil Patrick Harris would be hosting the 82nd Academy Awards next year (which in my opinion would have been a perfect choice), instead we’re getting a comedic duo in the form of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
This sort of worries me, though. Martin and Baldwin are both obviously very talented comedic actors, but will having co-hosts interrupt the flow of the show, will one overpower the other? I don’t know how aptly Baldwin can improvise on stage, beyond the Saturday Night Live sketches that he has performed. I suppose time will tell.
This could really be a huge boost to the ratings for the Oscars. Martin draws a family crowd, while Baldwin will certainly hook in the 30 Rock-sters (as if they wouldn’t watch already). This is the first time the show has had multiple hosts since 1987, when hosted by Chevy Chase,...
