'Unique challenges' derail Amy Winehouse hologram tour
If you were hoping to catch Amy Winehouse's hologram tour this year, you may have to settle for a big-screen biopic instead. BASE Hologram, the company behind the production, announced on Twitter yesterday that it is "putting the tour on hold until we determine the best path to a creatively spectacular production" that would properly honor the singer's legacy. Apparently, the company has run into "unique challenges and sensitivities."
WoW Moviewatch: I'm no good
I am, in general, a pretty big fan of Legs's body of work. This WoW music video take on Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" is one of my favorites, even though it was first released a while back. The video is titled I'm no good, as it's very much a direct carry-over of Winehouse's song. As the video's story goes, it's about a couple who are having some "faithfulness" issues. The scenery and action does a good job of mirroring the song's lyrics. Legs's costume work is, of course, very strong. And while I've long admitted I'm a little burned out on the Blood Elf thing, the singing belf chosen by Legs is actually a pretty good fit for Winehouse's persona. I think this is some of the best "band" footage I've seen in videos. L70ETC lends itself to "Hard rock montage!" Legs, however, has managed to create a soulful and almost "fun" vista in which the boys can operate. I think some of that might be the music soundtrack, but I could almost expect to see these guys in my local coffeehouse. If you haven't seen this one before, here's hoping you enjoy it.

Cinemassively: F**k Me Pumps
Our next Cinemassively is a bit rough around the edges, but for a first video, it's not bad. RandomPelicula gathered some friends and created a Second Life music video to a song about come-hither shoes, by Amy Winehouse. Contrary to the title, there's nothing really offensive, other than the F-bomb at the end of the song.I like that she tried to work a storyline in, but it definitely has flaws. The video staggers a bit in certain areas, the lipsynching is off, and the music stutters in one scene. In addition, she seems to have thrown a mishmash of transitions and titling effects in for good measure. However, I think once she refines her technique a bit, she'll come out with something great.
