Charlie Bartlett winners announced!

Today was the big day, not just because it’s a Leap Day (go February 29 birthday people go!) but that it was the day we drew the winners of the “Charlie Bartlett” contest. As the time grew close a hush descened upon the office. You could feel the electricity in the air, and it wasn’t just from the static discharge that comes from walking on a carpet and opening a metal doorknob (but that helped.)

Then the time was upon us. Charged with the task of drawing the names of five winners, two intrped, brave MovieSet employees went forth. A hand reached down to select the first name…well, OK, it was the electronic version of a hand, but you get the point. Five winners were drawn at random and they are:

Eric Vilbo

 Joe Cornell

Kimberly Balderas

Christopher Harner

Malisa Bal

Congratulations to our five winners! Your ultra-cool Bartlett swag winnings will soon be out the door and in the postal system to await your bodily usage. And for the rest of you that entered but didn’t win, stick around and see what our next contest will be. We’ve got one in the planning stages that will shake this coming Presidental election to its core. You could even say that it’s partially plucked from today’s headlines. What is it and how can you take a shot at winning the prize? Stay tuned, purchase your life insurance and keep your internet connection paid in full!

Play around with “Ben X”

If you’ve ever heard of or know someone that plays “World of Warcraft” then you may already know the lure of spending hours playing as a digital alter-ego inside a massive multiplayer video game world. Our latest movie page delves into this realm where fantasy meets reality and a lonely teenage boy is living two lives, one where he is a hero in a fantastical kingdom of magic and the other where he is tormented by bullies at his school.

“Ben X” is the name of this new film and we now have the trailer for you to see. It opens in select cities this April and just like all of the films presented on Movieset we will keep you informed when news develops on this project. But for now take a look and step into the world of “Ben X”

Let’s shake hands and be friends

It’s two days after the Academy Awards and I think that my hangover has finally abated. Well, at least it’s gone down to the point where the letters on the keyboard have stopped moving and words are a lot easier to make, so why not make my introduction to the lovely readers of Movieset?

Patrick’s my name and blogging is my game. I’m here to tell you everything, anything and all things about the exciting things happening with Movieset including the words and images that you see on your screen as well as the cool things coagulating behind the scenes in that realm we all like to call real life. I plan on giving you the 411 about new films making their debut on the site, special contests and events we have got planned, which celebrities are dropping by to say hi to you, ways in which you can interact with them and other interesting news from the world of film.

Now I know we’ve just been introduced and all that but I feel that I can trust you. After all, we’re both here because we love the movies, right? Dramas, thrillers, romantic comedies with zombies, alien invasions stopped by an adorable pooch that can play basketball and all that stuff you and I like because I’ve broken into your home and looked at your DVD collection while you were out (I promise to return that copy of “Gigli” that I borrowed next week, alright?) So if we’ve got this connection, this vibe, I feel that I can let you in on a little secret. Just between us and the comments section; Paris Hilton doesn’t need to know right now.

I’ve been poking my head through doors around here and while I can’t tell you everything that is coming in the days, weeks and months ahead, what I can spill to you right now is that there is a lot of coolness headed your way. I don’t just mean just the exclusive stuff or your chance to win a dream date with Scarlett Johansson (look, she asked about it first but I said let’s hold off until you’re done that Woody Allen show first and all that) but at what the Movieset team has got cooking in their creative kitchen. There’s going to be some big things happening here shortly and by dropping by daily to see what the latest word is on this blog you’re going to be at the front of the curve. Stick with me and I’ll hook you up, trust me.

More to come later in the day, but if you haven’t already entered the “Charlie Bartlett” Movieset contest for your chance to win one of five pieces of official studio swag, hit me here and drop off your entry before this Friday rolls around. You could be the proud new owner of clothing before the end of the week!

I shall return and when I do I shall bring with me the word on who and what “Ben X” is. I’ll see you then and, hey, I can tell right now that we’re going to be better BFFs than Paris and Nicole ever were and I promise that any videos we make together will never ever wind up on the internet. Well, I’m pretty sure about that.
