UP is an upcoming computer-animated 3D film being produced by Pixar Animation Studios and now Chunnel.tv has captured a trailer of it! The film is scheduled for a US release on May 29th, 2009. The film is directed by Peter Docter (also director of Monsters, Inc.) and features the voices of Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer, Jordan Nagai, and John Ratzenberger.

Carl Fredricksen is 78 years old. When Carl was a child, he met and eventually married a girl named Ellie who grew up in a small Midwestern town. Ellie always dreamed of exploring the mountains, but she died before she got a chance. Now, when developers threaten to move him into an assisted living home, Carl decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie. To accomplish this, he uses a huge number of balloons to make the house fly - but unwittingly takes a chubby eight-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell with him. The two opposites match up for thrilling adventures as they encounter wild terrain, unexpected foes, and all the terrifying creatures that wait in the jungle.

Check out this mini-profile of a living blues legend, Freddie King. He is of a rare breed of surviving originators of American music. He lives and breathes the blues, the root and essential harmonic through line that pervades everything from the hardest rock n' roll to the smoothest R&B. Soak in the unhurried rhythm of his strumming and each riff being like reading the source code for all the musical forms that followed the blues out of the delta. The man and his music are our living American soul and Chunnel.TV has the opportunity to showcase that!!

Michalis Hatzigiannis - Spring Tour 2009

2009-01-15T10:56:00.001-08:00

I am very happy to announce that Greece's #1 Best-selling artist, Michalis Hatzigiannis has decided to come back to the United States for a mini-tour in March 2009. This decision stems from the backlash and negativity that he and his management company endured last May, as four shows were cancelled due to mishandled issues of the production company that was responsible for that tour, Asteria Entertainment.

Michalis Hatzigiannis, being fully respectful towards his audience and his art will visit the US and Canada again performing in as many cities as possible and thus responding to the very warm welcome he received last time and the great anticipation of his audience.

Handling the tour this time will be Encore Productions. Globe Entertainment/Encore Productions, which was founded in 1983 , has been a leader in Greek productions in North America and around the world, and guarantees a professional and seamless presentation of the artist that will allow audience members to fully experience the artist’s performance and gain the maximum satisfaction from it, as it has done so time and time again in the past with every show it has produced.

What do you all think? What would you change about his last show? All types of comments and feedback will be appreciated.
