Over the past few months we’ve been working closely with the Facebook team to build a new social experience for video. We have embraced the new Facebook Open Graph to give you new ways to share and keep track of your favorite movie trailers, video games, music videos and other premium entertainment you watch on the Metacafe Entertainment Network (M.E.N).
Today, we are excited to launch our new Facebook Timeline App, which makes it even easier to share your favorite videos with your friends on Facebook — and see what your friends are watching on Metacafe.
Adding Metacafe to your Facebook Timeline is really easy. Just click the new “Add to Timeline” button when you watch a video, and we’ll do the rest for you.
Watch, share and discover great videos with our new Metacafe Facebook App.
Yesterday at f8, Facebook announced its new Timeline and revolutionized the user profile as we know it. The Timeline is a new way to tell your story on Facebook. “This is the heart of the Facebook experience, completely rethought from the ground up,” said Zuckerberg. “Timeline is the story of your life: all your stories, all your apps and a new way to express who you are.”
Metacafe is part of this experience, having teamed up with Facebook as an official partner and now using the new Open Graph API to create a new class of apps on Facebook that will be added to the Facebook Timeline.
We have been working hard these past few weeks and are excited to soon introduce to you the new Metacafe Facebook app. Stay tuned for more details to come…

If you wanted some evidence that Blair Witch director of yesteryear, Eduardo Sanchez, has finally grown out of his pre-Paranormal Acvitiy-esque phase of his career take in his newest trailer, Lovely Molly. Actors that can act, an interesting plot (newlyweds move into her recently deceased Father’s house. Husband goes away for business and his new bride starts to crack. Is it because she’s a former drug addict, is it her deep, dark secret, IS SHE BEING INSIDIOUS-ED?!) that has minimal screaming and maximum freaky events that’ll mess with your head, AND it’s at TIFF this year. Alright Sanchez, everybody gets ONE, so let’s make Lovely Molly count. I mean, if gurl is holding up a knife to her throat and it’s only the teaser…you’ve got my attention…
I am the anti-fan of “on-set, behind the scenes” video’s. It’s usually some tourist who stumbles upon some action, then fumbles with his/her sup-par Flip Cam (RIP) and it’s just generally 3 minutes of crap. But, after seeing this Mouth Taped Shut business- a tumblr run by either an uber Fincher/Girl with a Dragon Tattoo fan or PA not yet jaded by working on-set and being relegated to gopher duties. Either way, you get to see Daniel Craig and David Fincher in a short, sweet burst of action.
John Carpenter’s original The Thing- you know the one with Kurt Russel and the thinly vieled allegory for AIDS outbreak in the 80’s, that one. Yeah, another Carpenter flick is getting the reboot/remake/prequel treatment. But why preytell, you ask, should you get even remotely excitied for this one? Because it’s a solid horror that’ll deliver the screams or at the very least, make you jump..once, like in the clip below.
And indie darling, no…not that pain in the ass Zooey Deschanel, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim’s love interest) might just be able to convince you she’s getting her Ph.D at Columbia in paleontology. Stranger things have happened…
The Oscar contender otherwise known as Shark Night 3D (not be confused for the Gary Busey opus Piranha 3DD) released a exclusive clip to Yahoo! Movies. Basically Katherine McPhee, whom I’m stoked has outlived her A.I. days and parlayed her career into B-movie D-list stardom, looks scared while staring on as a shark destroys his dinner. Careful who you get on a fishing boat with toots. Simon Cowell shoulda told ya…
Ryan Murphy (and his producing partner from Nip/Tuck Brad Falchuk) of ‘Glee’ fame is getting darker this Fall. And we’re not talking about him getting a brunette hair piece. His much hyped & anticipated return to FX with JESSICA LANGE (!!!) and Dylan McDermott as a family man trying to bounce back from a proverbial “rough path” with his wife and kid by moving from LA to Boston has this “Rosemary’s Baby” meets “Poltergist” feel that makes this teaser more teaser-y than that damn Dark Knight Rises cock tease.
Will American Horror Story be on your TV watch list this Fall?
Sure the new Fright Night 3D looks 110 x’s scarier than the 80’s cult classic. But you know what’s going to give it a run for its money this weekend? Fright Night: The Musical…
I already knew Zoe Saldana was bad ass chick, yes even when she was in “Centerstage”, but it takes Luc Besson’s new flick “Colombiana” gives her the starring role as an assassin avenging her parents death.
Metacafe has the exclusive clip from the movie that comes out August 26th.
