Cinema Blend is a website founded and run by Josh Tyler dedicated to news and reviews of upcoming and currently playing films, movie projects, Television Shows, and a newly founded Music section which covers album reviews, band interviews and daily news from the industry. It combines gossip from anonymous and unverified sources as well as news and reviews. The site has expanded to cover Television in 2006 and more recently has launched sections covering Music, Games, Technology and Celebrity Gossip.

Cinema Blend's reviews are also syndicated to many other third-party websites including buy.com and staticmultimedia.com and feature in print publications such as the Chautauqua Region Word and The Charleston City Paper.

The site was launched in 2001 under the name Film Hobbit, its original name attributed to founder Josh Tyler's love of movies and Lord of the Rings.

Over the next few years the site expanded by adding associate contributors and editors and now has an active staffing of around 30, some contributing to the site full time, others part-time.

Joel David Coen (born November 29, 1954) and Ethan Jesse Coen (born September 21, 1957) known together professionally as the Coen brothers, are American filmmakers. Their films include Blood Simple, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, No Country for Old Men, and True Grit.

The brothers write, direct and produce their films jointly, although until recently Joel received sole credit for directing and Ethan for producing. They often alternate top billing for their screenplays while sharing film credits for editor under the alias Roderick Jaynes.

Joel and Ethan Coen, of Jewish heritage, grew up in a Jewish community in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. Their father, Edward, was an economist at the University of Minnesota, and their mother, Rena, an art historian at St. Cloud State University.

When they were children, Joel saved money from mowing lawns to buy a Vivitar Super 8 camera. Together, the brothers remade movies they saw on television with a neighborhood kid, Mark Zimering ("Zeimers"),^{[citation needed]} as the star. Their first attempt was a romp titled, Henry Kissinger, Man on the Go. Cornel Wilde's The Naked Prey (1966) became their Zeimers in Zambia, which also featured Ethan as a native with a spear.
