Music Video of the Day: Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter (2025, dir by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia)


Jeff and I start our first vacation of the year tomorrow and this video feels like a vacation video.  Hopefully, our vacation will feature less desert hitchhiking.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter, feat. Dolly Parton (2025, Dir. by Sabrina Carpenter and Sean Price Williams)


Everyone has their own way of celebrating Valentine’s Day.

When I first learned that Sabrina Carpenter was the new big thing in music, my first reaction was, “You mean the friend from Girl Meets World?”  I was skeptical but she’s won me over.  Sabrina really can sing!  She proves it in this video, holding her own with none other than Dolly Parton as they bury Sabrina’s ex.

I like the look of this video.  Everything looks better in black-and-white.  Some of the images remind me of the photography of Diane Arbus and the way she captured the unique identity of America.

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch by Lindsey Stirling and Sabrina Carpenter (2018, dir by Joshua Shultz)


If Sucker Punch had taken place during the Christmas season, one could very easily imagine this video as being a scene in the film.  It just needs a giant ninja and Scott Glenn offering up words of pithy wisdom.

That said, what this song and this video do so well and what I love about them is that it provides a whole new spin to a very familiar song.   Does the Grinch now own a casino or an Old West saloon?  Is the Grinch now a gangster?  And what exactly is the Grinch’s relationship with Sabrina Carpenter?  This video leaves us with much to ponder during the holiday season.

This video was directed by Joshua Schultz, who has also directed videos for Juliet Simms and Haley Reinhart.  According to the imdb, he’s currently in pre-production for a film called The Fog.

Enjoy!

Trailer: Horns (Official Teaser)

The kids of the Harry Potter film franchise have all gone their separate ways. Some have moved on to taking smaller roles. Others have begun to take on roles that tries to rehabilitate their image from just being a Harry Potter actor. Emma Watson has had some success in redoing her post-Potter image. Yet, it’s the “Chosen One” himself who looks to really be going with as many left-field film role choices since the end of the franchise.

Daniel Radcliffe has been taking some interesting risks with his post-Potter career. Even before the franchise was over he had begun working on redoing his image. Whether it was doing the stage play Equus or taking on a horror film role with the gothic horror The Woman in Black, Radcliffe seems more than willing to leave his Potter days behind him.

The first trailer from the film adaptation of the Joe Hill penned dark fantasy Horns has now arrived. We see brief glimpses of Radcliffe in the title role with the proverbial horns that becomes the center of the film’s plotline.

Time will tell if Horns will be another notch in making Daniel Radcliffe less the Potter-kid and ore the talented actor he’s turning out to be.

Horns will be making it’s presence know this Halloween 2014.
