Rated Awesome

Next New Networks' Eric Beck and Mark Douglas give the trailers of the latest Hollywood blockbusters a comic makeover in Rated Awesome.

In most episodes the actors spoof best selling movies including Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, The Last Exorcism, and The Social Network. Other episodes feature Beck and Douglas sharing the comments viewers have made about the preview parodies, and behind-the-scenes footage.

Basic controls underneath the player allow browsers to pause and play the clips, adjust their volume, view them in regular or full-screen mode, or share the clips with friends. The videos are shot in high-definition format to maintain quality in full screen mode.

Pausing the clips presents another menu in the player screen. This presents codes for embedding the entire video, or its link, into a personal website. It also features icons which allow fans to easily navigate to other videos in the series.

An episode synopsis is featured underneath the player, while links for sharing the clips with popular social networking sites are to the left. There are also links to download the videos and subscribe to the episode RSS feeds. Viewers are encouraged to share their opinions on each episode by leaving a comment below the clip.

Parental guidance is recommended as some episodes of Rated Awesome contain low level violence, sexual references, and adult themes.
