No new movie ads during the second half of the Super Bowl, but here are some other highlights throughout the night:
– Five Jeff Bridges Hyundai commercials
– Elton John and Flavor Flav in a Pepsi ad
– Sketchers “Dog Racing”
– Regis makes a cameo for Pepsi Max
– Seinfeld and “The Soup Nazi” reunite for Acura…and Leno too
– Matthew Broderick in “Ferris Bueller”-like Honda ad
– And the best commercial: MetLife’s “Meet the Cast” commercial, featuring a lot more cartoon characters than just Snoopy

First Half round-up:
– “The Avengers” and “The Lorax” are in the lead – definitely the most anticipated
– “The Year of Liam Neeson” is still going strong with spots for “Star Wars 3D” and “Battleship” (which looks a lot like “Transformers”)
– “G.I. Joe: Retalliation” has huge star-power (Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis as “Joe”)
– “John Carter” is still too similar to “Prince of Persia”
– “Hunger Games” and hopefully “Dark Knight” in the second half
