Skyfall: Review

To start off, I really enjoyed Casino Royal and thought it was a fantastic, much needed reboot of Bond. Quantum of Solace was a cluster and disappointment though. Much more ambitious than Casino Royal and ended up being meh.


So Skyfall looked interesting right from the first trailer. It looked like Bond was finally going to fall at the knees of a villain, or at least thats what the trailer led on. The title Skyfall also sounds mysterious and very important. So did the film live up to the Bond legacy. Well, of course it did.


Skyfall starts off a little slow, Even though the opening act is a chase sequence that includes motor bikes and a fight scene on top of a moving train. It ends with Bond being shot by his partner on accident. The whole opening scene didn't seem intense or anything and was a bit boring. So right off the start I was worried. The opening credits that follow right after, tops the best of the Bond songs. Adele's theme is fantastic.


Then we get to the juice of the film. The whole middle act is just so much better than the beginning and ending of the film. We learn that M must retire and that Ralph Fiennes character is pretty much going to take her place after. But M refuses untill her current job is over. M thinks Bond is dead. Then there's an attack on M16, which brings Bond back from the dead to help M investigate and find who is doing this. Then the whold middle act starts and the world adventure begins. Its all fun to watch and the acting is great. Also the way this film was shot is stunning. This is definitely the best looking Bond film


Javiar Bardem portrays the villain in Skyfall and is just fantastic. He practically steals the show, giving a performance worthy of some sort of reward! But he enters the film about half way through and is in the film not nearly as long as I would like.


The ending is a huge letdown. After Bardem's character takes a direct shot at M, her and Bond flee to Bonds child hood house. The whole ending is a shoot out defending Bonds old mansion and is just underwhelming. The act was just as a let down as the opening scene and it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, as your thinking "That's it"?


Overall this is a better film than the previous Bond film, but doesn't even touch Casino Royal. The played the film a little safe this time around. But there were a few nice touches, having a much darker tone, a crazy villain, and a Bond that is coming out of retirement.


Even with all the complaining, I did enjoy the film. Now its time to wait for whats next. Which has the parts to make the best Bond ever. Final Score: 8.0. Providing useful articles, reviews and writings on movies and films online.

The Business of Movie Theaters: Films or Food?

Not so long ago people went to the movies to, well, see the movie. Now it's almost as if the movie has become secondary to the food and arcade games that most theaters have on offer. Montreal, as was the case in most cities, had its fair share of movie theaters - we didn't call them cinemas, to us they were movie theaters, plain and simple - both in the downtown core and in the suburbs.


These were often elaborately designed single-screen theaters showing films every night and offered matinees on the weekends and during school holidays. I recall the price being 75 cents before seven o'clock at which time the cost of admission shot up to a whopping $1.25! For that princely sum movie patrons were treated to a cartoon - usually a Blake Edwards'Pink Panther short which worked well in Montreal as it could be used in both French and English theaters given the lack of dialogue - in addition to the main feature.


But the price is not the issue; the price of everything has gone up over time. What has changed is the focus from movie house to all round food and entertainment center. Not all that long ago your admission fee got you into the theater to see the movie. There were, of course, snack bars where you could buy soft drinks, popcorn, candies and chips. But these were just for convenience because many people, perhaps most, brought their own snacks to the movie. I'm not talking about smuggling in contraband Twizzlers or Reese's Pieces, sneaking past ushers who look like they want to pat down movie goers. The goodies people brought to the theater were most welcome; after all they had paid their admission. It was a movie theater, not a restaurant - it was a Bring Your Own Food establishment


Movie goers would bring in, openly and honestly, snack items such as a box of a dozen Dunkin' Donuts and Dairy Queen milkshakes. Others brought submarine sandwiches or even hamburgers. Some folks even made special snacks at home and, along with a thermos of coffee settled in to enjoy the movie and munch on a ham on rye.


These days the film is almost an afterthought; once you get past the vast array of food on offer at exorbitant prices and run the gamut of the umpteen video games in the lobby, you can finally settle down to watch the feature.


The Movie business has changed. Long gone are the days when movie theaters were in the business of selling admission to films and providing convenience snack bar counters, but were BYOF! Providing useful articles, reviews and writings on movies and films online.

Relaxing With a Classic On Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving table is filled with excitement each year. Good food, family, and friends all take center stage during the celebration. After dinner is over, many choose to turn their attention to the numerous college and professional football games that flood the television, choosing a side and sticking with the cheering section assigned to their favorite team. This year, if football is not on the agenda for the gathering, watching a few warm Thanksgiving movies instead will help the family maintain a relaxed holiday atmosphere. Plenty of holiday movies address the Thanksgiving theme in various ways. Whether the preferred movie genre is animation, comedy, or action, one of the following movie selections is sure to please the family at this year's gathering.


"Pocahontas" is an Oscar-winning animated favorite that was released in 1995 by Disney. The movie explores the love affair that sparks between a Native American chief's daughter, Pocahontas (Irene Bedhard), and an English soldier, Captain John Smith (Mel Gibson). The two are on the opposite side of an invasion by the English settlers. In the 1600s, the English land in Virginia, the homeland of Pocahontas. She stumbles upon their camp and a romance begins with Smith. The fairy tale love is disrupted by the greed of Governor Ratcliff; it is believed that Pocahontas's tribe is literally sitting on a gold mine.


As friction builds between the two groups, it is up to the two lovers to try and keep the peace. This animated film is engaging for older adults and filled with action to keep the attention of any teens who may be watching. This is a movie that captures the Native American-settler encounter in a way that is not too violent for young eyes, but accurate enough for the adults to refresh their American history. The soft song selections are enough to lull even the tiniest baby to sleep so that the rest of the crowd can enjoy the movie without interruption.


Every Thanksgiving, there is a channel that features the comedy "Dutch." A single mother (JoBeth Williams) tries to give a little love to her son, Doyle Standish (Ethan Embry), at Thanksgiving after her selfish ex-husband (Christopher McDonald) leaves her holding the bag again by cancelling his holiday time with his son. Her knight in shining armor, her new boyfriend Dutch (Ed O'Neill), volunteers to go to the boarding school her son attends and retrieve him for the holidays. They do not make it out of the dormitory before the bubble bursts. The two end up at each other's throats all along the road trip.


This film is a precursor to the "Are We There Yet?" series produced by Ice Cube; the good guy gets stuck on a bad road trip with his new love's kids. When the news of the new guy reaches her ex-husband, he mysteriously finds time in his busy schedule to try and further destroy her reputation with her son. This film is a roller coaster ride filled with some very funny interactions, but may be suited for a more mature audience. The film is rated PG-13, but if there is someone in the crowd who does not understand about the birds and the bees, he or she may be better off in the football room.


An all-time classic Thanksgiving movie must be included on this list of Thanksgiving favorites. "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" was released in 1973, but is still relevant to the families of today. Any adaptation of the comic strip series always brings laughter and cheer to viewers. This animated gem is the story of the Peanuts gang's celebration of Thanksgiving. Peppermint Patty (Christopher DeFaria) plans a dinner for her family and friends. As is the tradition of the series, Charlie Brown (Todd Barbee) always gets the short end of the stick, but remains as good as gold throughout the story. There is even a scene with a football, just in case viewers think they are missing out on something in the other room. One of the best scenes in the movie is the Thanksgiving prayer given by Linus. In his prayer, Linus relays the importance of the holiday by giving a bit of history surrounding the celebration.


The holiday season can be very stressful with the anticipation of guests, family interactions, and all of the preparation that goes into the festivities. To set the tone for the celebration, try a cool music selection, good food, and a good movie. Providing useful articles, reviews and writings on movies and films online.

American Idol: The Spotlight on the Judges

It was just over a decade ago where we saw the landscape of television change due to the success of the hit tv show, American Idol. The show managed to produce a fair share of talents in every season that kept viewers wanting to see more. Aside from the talent that was showcased, the viewing public also got exposed to three different personalities standing as a judge for the show. Randy Jackson, a well-known producer in the music business, Paula Abdul, a popular singer/dancer and probably the most memorable of them all, Simon Cowell, a music producer from the UK who handled the careers of several musicians and was known for his straightforward opinions which means contestants usually receive harsh criticisms from him without feeling remorse.


The relationship between the judges also became one of the reasons why people tuned in to the show. Paula and Simon's nonstop bickering turned out to be a form of entertainment for most people. However, that trio was not meant to last long as the judges had a change of line-up in the latter years of the show. We've seen the judging panel grow to four when comedian Ellen DeGeneres joined the panel. Some have criticized her for not having enough experience as a judge and for not having enough music credentials. She later left the show after one season. We also saw Kara DioGuardi, a music producer and song writer, join the show. The major turning point of the show would have to be the time when Simon decided to leave the show. Many thought that the show will not continue without his presence but the concern that was in everybody's heads was the question of who was going to replace him. Several names popped up until we saw the entire shake-up in the judging panel.


They were cutting the judges back down to three like how it used to be with Randy Jackson being the only original judge to be retained. It was later announced that he was going to be joined by famous rock star and lead singer of the band, Aerosmith, Steven Tyler and popular singer/dancer/actress Jennifer Lopez. There were mixed reactions regarding the new panel of judges but in the end, the three of them did their best to have some chemistry between each other, much to the delight of the fans. But while some were pleased with the decision, some thought that the three of them were too nice to the contestants and they fail to give enough constructive criticisms like Simon Cowell used to do.


It has now been a problem for talent competitions to be criticized for their selection of judges and not just contestants. Some criticizes them for getting judges only for high ratings instead of producing a good talent molded by a credible set of judges. For a show like American Idol, they have endured these criticisms for more than a decade and it doesn't seem to affect them as they have clearly gained a loyal fan base whoever they put on the judging panel.

Movie Review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)

An unending, melancholy tone permeates the entire film, once again demonstrating Steve Carell's knack for that typical, sad, lonely character he always assumes (when he's not the cocky, ignorant, inconsiderate "Michael Scott" persona). But unlike Dan in Real Life or Little Miss Sunshine, there are few ups and downs - the role isn't nearly dynamic enough for audiences to invest in the somber development that keeps his plight from being emotionally involving. Similarly, Keira Knightley goes through the motions of being an unlikely companion without a convincing connection that could warrant their cross-country pilgrimage to find meaning in a world coming undone.


Dodge Petersen (Steve Carell) still goes to work each day at Metropolitan Consolidated Life Insurance, even though a 70-mile-wide asteroid named "Matilda" has just annihilated space shuttle Deliverance, the last remaining hope for saving Earth from certain doom. The countdown has begun: 21 days before the world ends. Many resort to abandoning hope, participating in carefree orgies of food and sex, or spending their final hours with family and friends. Penny (Keira Knightley) has missed her last opportunity to fly home and so laments outside Dodge's window. The two strike up a friendship and decide to embark on an odyssey to reunite Dodge with his high school sweetheart - a reconciliation botched by Penny retaining a misdelivered letter for Dodge. They're also accompanied by a randomly deserted dog dubbed "Sorry" - a witty moniker never fully utilized.


It's sometimes touching and undeniably soothing to see the obvious counterparts come to a romantic fruition, even if the casting choices don't appear completely compatible. Perhaps it's the age difference, or the contrasting personalities, or witnessing brief, unfulfilling assemblies of Penny's past admirers that seem probable yet discordant. Or maybe it's Dodge's admirable yet clashing sacrifices for love that suggest contrivance and an expected resolution. Regardless, a deeper association with the lead duo is elusive, what with the pervasive reminiscing, brooding, and irrational behaviors that are never delirious enough to be funny. Serenity arises, but not as repeatedly as bewilderment from the scenario.


This setting, with citizens either rioting, killing, offing themselves, contradictorily mowing the lawn as if to forget, or stocking bomb shelters for apocalyptic survival, is both the most unique element and the film's undoing. Ceding appeasement for an eye-opening twist essentially ruins the normal romantic comedy hiding beneath the frantic premise. And it's toned down to a degree, materializing less anarchy and chaos than might be expected (infidelity, rape and theft become a casual joke) if the situation were real - yet the shock of suicide and death still work their way into the picture. Enlightenment, a day at the beach, and reconnecting with loved ones can't mask the nerve-wracking, spontaneous nature of encountering bizarre strangers and frequenting eerily abandoned houses. At times it's more disturbing than humorous or romantic. Why should this bleak device interfere so tragically with a simple tale of recognizing the importance of truly worthwhile relationships?

Men In Black 3 Movie Review

Well, it's been ten long years since Agents J and K showed off their intergalactic protection skills in Men In Black 2, and given that the film didn't exactly win rave reviews, you can't blame anyone for being a little skeptical about the likelihood of a third installment being memorable. Luckily, I am always willing to give Will Smith the benefit of the doubt, and I'm happy to report that he and the entire cast made it worth my time.


THE GOOD: In order to go forward in this story, we have to go backwards... meaning time travel to the past; the summer of 1969, to be exact, when astronauts were preparing to walk on the moon and the Mets were poised to win the World Series. Another newsworthy event was Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) putting a foul looking alien by the name of Boris behind bars---in a prison on the moon, no less. But 40 years later, Boris has busted out of his lunar lockup and has managed to sneak through the space time continuum in an effort to find K and kill him. It's all up to J (Will Smith) to go back in time and put Boris out of commission, before he can achieve his goal. Oh, and J also needs to keep himself from getting left in 1969 as well... yes, it's sort of a "Back to the Future" twist, and it may not be as ingenious of an idea as it seemed 25 years ago, but for all intents and purposes, it works. As you can imagine, there is a social commentary to be made with J going back in time as a black man, and Smith delivers some great attitude at perfect moments when small minded people speak without thinking.


As much as I adore Will Smith however, the scene stealer in this movie is without a doubt Josh Brolin, who not only plays the younger version of Agent K, but NAILS it. There's no debating that Tommy Lee Jones has a very unique presence and mannerism, so for someone to be able to capture that with such flawlessness, it is award worthy in my opinion. From his facial expressions to his accent and timing, everything was spot on... and hilarious. Adding to that fun, we have the alien character Griffin (played by Michael Stuhlbarg) who is a sweet and perpetually anxious little creature, and has the dubious gift of seeing the future----or rather the equal possibility of several different futures, some positive and some not so much. With his misty blue eyes, Elmer Fudd wool hat, and innocent childlike responses, he might come across as goofy to some, but I adored him.


THE BAD: I can only assume that in order to capitalize on how amazing Josh Brolin is in this role, efforts were made to keep Will Smith's character from shining too brightly. Or at least, that's what ends up happening. Usually Agent J is so full of sarcasm and attitude that the laughs are pretty constant... this time around, it took almost 45 minutes for Will to have a laugh worthy moment, at least for me personally. This isn't to say that Smith isn't his usual great talent, but be prepared that he doesn't pack nearly the punch in this installment as he did in the first two.


THE UGLY: I'm torn really, as to what the most hideous part of this movie was, but I certainly have it narrowed down to two contenders: the first being Boris (Jemaine Clement) in general---this guy just brings repulsive to a whole new level---but it's his teeth specifically that had me completely nauseated. It was like an entire mouth full of giant yellow molars and reminded me of the scary monsters I imagined as a little girl. Of course none of those creatures were ever making out with a woman in black leather pants in my imagination---which brings us to contender number 2. If there is anything more disturbing than a monster like man with bad dental work, it would be watching that same man sticking his tongue in a woman's mouth. Shudder. It's like I'm a five year old girl again, with a whole new scary image to keep me awake at night.


It's a generally accepted fact that the Men In Black Franchise started off strong, then hit a low with MIB2. There will be those who won't be willing to give MIB3 a chance because they fear things will only get worse... the surprise is that, as sequels go, this one is actually worth seeing, not only because of Brolin's performance, but the touching surprise twist at the end that explains J and K's relationship.


The Trophy Wife gives this movie 3 ½ trophies.


Men In Black 3 has a running time of 106 minutes and is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence and brief suggestive content. No F words. Providing articles, reviews and writings on movies online.

3 Latest Movies Filmed on Location in South Africa

South Africa has been a prime location for film productions for years now, but it is still a novelty to find an international movie or major TV series actually set on the streets of Cape Town or Johannesburg. So it was with great excitement that South African movie goers greeted the release of Safe House earlier this year, and that is not the only movie to be filmed on location in Cape Town recently.


Safe House - This blockbuster box office hit stars Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds and was filmed on location in and around Cape Town. The story of a young CIA agent on the run as he tries to look after a fugitive in a safe house gives lots of scope to the Mother City as a setting. Capetonians get extra thrills from location spotting of their familiar streets and mountain, but from the fact that it scored a huge $40.2 m in its first weekend after release it went down a storm everywhere else in the world too.


Chronicle - Here Cape Town is doubling for Seattle, as three teenagers with supernatural powers find their lives spiralling out of control. The sci-fi thriller is filmed as if it were found-footage put together from video recordings. As well as being filmed on location in the streets of Cape Town, the production used sets constructed on a film studio stage at Cape Town Film Studios. Left hand drive cars were shipped in especially for the production and ingenious special effects produced to show the effects of the heroes' telekinetic powers crushing a car.


Dark Tide is another 2012 release filmed on location in and around Cape Town. This harnesses the power and drama of the ocean as Halle Berry stars as a diving instructor who returns to work in deep waters after an almost fatal encounter with a shark. The crew shot on a small boat with real great white sharks in False Bay. The studio filming in an underwater tank was completed at Pinewood Studios in the UK. The film was released in March 2012 and didn't get very good critical reviews, either for the plot or for the acting, but everyone agrees that the scenery is stunning, as you would expect for any movie filmed with the Cape Peninsula as a backdrop.


And something else to watch out for, though not yet released, is the third TV series of military drama Strike Back, which was filmed in various locations in South Africa earlier this year. Providing articles, reviews and writings on movies online.

Television Influence on Small Children

The Greek and Latin languages are where the word 'television' has its origin. The word is a derivative from 'tele', which is a Greek word translates, to 'far sight' and 'visio' is a Latin word that means 'sight.' In the latter part of the 1930s, the television made its way to the commercial markets. These days, television is the single most popular type of audio-visual in commercial set-ups and home. Merely mentioning the word 'television' calls to mind a medium which assists individuals in keeping abreast with entertainment issues and current affairs. No longer is the television set a single communication unit. The television has evolved in the complexity of the design to transmit recorded material that is stored on Blu-ray discs, laser discs, DVDs and video cassettes.


Television History


The television history spans over time zones and regions, in view of the fact that the technology has evolved in different places and at different times. This communication system, as it is known these days, is not the brainchild of any one specific inventor. The process has taken the endeavours of a number of engineers, over several decades, to develop along various overlapping designs, to utilize commonly accepted electronic and mechanical principles. Despite the fact that electromechanical television sets have been abandoned for the completely electronic, ultra-modern designs, the fundamental design rests on the discovery of selenium photo-conductivity in 1873. That discovery which was made by Willoughby Smith brought about the scanning disk invention from Paul Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884. In 1926, a demonstration of televised moving images was carried out by John Logie Baird, that technology was joined with the image dissector that was designed in 1927 by Philo Farnsworth, to provide viewers with the fundamental principles of the television that we currently know.


These days, the world of television is discovered by children at an incredibly tender age. A number of studies have indicated that kids who are younger than 6 years old watch television, DVD or video on a daily basis, at an average of 2 hours. In a number of instances, watching television can be useful, particularly the wildlife and educational programs that have the capacity to broaden the understanding and knowledge of your child in relation to the world around him or her. In addition, it can introduce them to a variety of communities and cultures of the world. However, at the moment the negative effects are seemingly outweighing the uplifting ones.


The Negative Influences of Television on Children


The formative years in the life of child, particularly the first two to three years, are vital to the mental growth and development of the child. Those are the years in which a child learns by way of interacting, observing, playing and discovering new things. As a result, these first few years are extremely vital for the physical and mental development. Therefore, a pattern of watching television excessively could hinder his or her social activities such as spending quality time with members of the family, reading and playing with friends.


There are a number of television programs that portray extreme violence and this could induce lots of changes in behaviour in young children. In view of the fact that kids can relate easily to what is being shown on the television screen, they will be more prone to imitating the behaviour that is depicted. As a result, you may notice aggressive behaviour in your child. In addition, it could cause the little one to develop sleeping disorders and have nightmares because his or her sense of anxiety and fear has been stimulated by what is shown on the television. In addition to this, it will possibly result in creating confusion in the mind of the young child as it relates to knowing the difference between good and bad. That is because parents most likely teach their kids that aggression and violence is bad but the program on the television will possibly show the heroes or 'good guys' perpetrating violence.


Apart from the violence, drinking and smoking scenes are depicted widely in commercials and television programs, without giving an explanation of the unfavourable consequences. The repeated and continuous exposure to these programs will make children feel as though these activities are quite acceptable and normal. As a result, kids who watch these programs on a regular basis are a great deal more likely to mimic and develop these unhealthy habits from an early stage in their development.


In the developed world, obesity is a widespread problem and television is among the important factors that are responsible for the increasing incidences of obesity among kids. Excessive watching of television decreases physical activities of the kids and simultaneously amplifies the popularity of unhealthy foods, such as potato chips, soft drinks and other snacks that they see on the commercials.

3D Geek V 3D Consumer, A New Look at the Passive Vs Active 3D TV Debate

Once 3D was a novelty act in cinemas. Now it's a rapidly developing technology that helps movie directors and progressive TV channels find new and better ways to help you feel part of the action.


Early 3D technology made it possible for manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony and Panasonic to introduce 3D TV sets into homes. They applied the early-adopter rule of money being no object and technical specification being everything. So they developed the geektastic active 3D technology systems that require shutter glasses with powered lenses and transmitter mechanisms to sync the tech-heavy 3D glasses to the display unit.


Active-shutter glasses are actually small LCD screens that alternately dim the left and right lenses at speeds faster than the human eye can detect. They use an infrared signal emitter in the TV to ensure each pair of synched 3D glasses dims each of its lenses at the appropriate moment. Each eye's glass contains a layer, which flickers between dark or transparent when voltage is applied. The timing signal allows the glasses to synchronize together with the refresh rate of anything between 100Hz and 240Hz.


Active-shutter 3D glasses, thanks to the technology involved are relatively expensive. So much so that manufacturers don't often include them with active 3D TV sets - you have to buy them at a substantial additional cost. Besides the cost of the glasses - anything from £50 - £150 per pair, you also have to stump up for the batteries they need to keep them running. It's these batteries that also give active 3D glasses a bit of a weight problem that can cause discomfort during full-length feature films. An issue that becomes even more problematical if you already wear prescription glasses.


The final difficulty with active 3D glasses is that no two systems use the same signal emitter set-up: you can only use them on your own system and will have to wait for the development of universal active 3D glasses to head round to your pals to watch the football in 3D.


Fortunately a solution, in the form of passive 3D systems, arrived on the fast developing 3D TV scene.


As other TV manufacturers such as LG, Philips, Toshiba, Vizio, Cello, Manta, Bush and Finlux began to develop 3D TV systems aimed at mainstream consumers, they opted for passive 3D glasses technology. Making passive 3D glasses is no more complicate than making a pair of standard sunglasses. Only the specially designed polarized lenses are different.


When you watch a 3D film and the cinema or on a passive 3D TV, the polarised lenses in the passive 3D glasses simply block different kinds of light from each eye to create that immersive illusion of depth inside the mind of the viewer. The circular polarised lenses are set at angles that match a combined image on the screen. The glasses simply decode the images with any need for those flickering shutters that can cause headaches on active 3D glasses. What's more, you don't ever have to replace any batteries or miss out on the football in 3D because they are flat. So why doesn't everybody see passive 3D glasses as sounds like the perfect 3D solution?


The makers and enthusiastic fans of active 3D systems often refer to the fact that technically passive 3D glasses do not provide a true HD experience on 3D TVs. With passive 3D, the viewer sees 540 lines of resolution to each eye, or half 1080p (provided the source is 1080p). So, theoretically the picture will have less depth and quality than one of 1080p - the norm for active 3D systems. However, active 3D supporters claim that this difference is only noticeable a couple feet from the TV. As nobody buys a large screen TV to use as a laptop the issue seems to be nothing more than manufacturer spin.


To prove the point, LG has recently won ruling by the Advertising Standards Authority that allows them to state that the passive 3D glasses experience is a full HD experience. Perhaps that is why Panasonic and Sony have both recently began making passive 3D systems?


The real difference lies not in whether active 3D glasses are too heavy, cause dizziness and headaches, or passive 3D glasses offer a less immersive experience cheap as chips experience: real difference lies in the eye and the mind of the beholder.


Each of us experiences 3D in a way that is unique to our own viewing physiology. Our eyes, our experiences and our preferences, shape the way we see things. The fact is, we simply do not see exactly the same things as people sitting right next to us. Moreover, 3D is a depth-perception illusion created in our mind's unique eye. While technical facts and research can advance all manner of claims, it is only you who can decide what rocks your 3D world.


At a geek v consumer level, each of us is either the kind of avid technology buff that wanted to be the first to experience 3D TV in the home or someone who was always going to wait until the technology developed to a point where updating the old TV with a state of the art but relatively inexpensive passive 3D TV seems like a no brainer. Especially when you consider that you are likely to be watching a mixture of 2D (60%) and 3D (40%) programs on your 3D TV.


Even if you adopt a try before you buy approach, evaluating passive or active 3D TVs is fraught with difficulties. For one thing, it is impossible to experience what it is like to live with heavy active 3D glasses unless you spend hours in the showroom watching a film. Equally, the quality of passive 3D glasses is enough to make anyone think twice about making an impulse purchase.


May we suggest a solution?


Perhaps before you risk investing in a prohibitively expensive active 3D system because of the perceived picture quality or dismiss the very idea of a passive 3d system because of the poor quality passive 3D glasses, you should take the opportunity to experience the outstanding passive 3D experience delivered by Designer 3D glasses by Oskav.


All our wayfarer-style glasses are made to the same exacting standards as designer sunglasses. Our lenses are made to a particular specification that ensures a high definition 3D experience and lasting durability. Our collection of designer finishes is simply without equal in passive 3D glasses. So what have you go to loose? From just £19.99 you could get the LG, Philips, Toshiba or Panasonic passive 3D TV test drive of a lifetime and in the process get a pair of designer 3D glasses that also allow you to go to see any 3D film in style. Put the 3D geek v 3D consumer debate behind you in a pair of designer 3D glasses by Oskav. Buy designer 3D glasses by Oskav online at oskav.com.

Movie Review: Rock of Ages (2012)

Rock god Stacee Jaxx vents that he's a slave to rock 'n' roll. His lament parallels the problems at the core of Rock of Ages; the story and characters are swallowed whole by the music - and when the pounding beat ebbs, there's little left to attract us to what's underneath. This won't be a problem for many as the creative use of classic rock songs as a form of narration has its own substantial appeal. The clever juxtaposition of recognizable tunes and the extravagantly choreographed dance sequences are also entertaining, but they don't provide the stability of a stronger plot and more intricately developed characters. When the guitars roar and the singing starts though, it can be easy to forgive the faults and submerse yourself in the pulsing music and fervent performances.


With high hopes of becoming a singer, young Oklahoma girl Sherrie Christian (Julianne Hough) heads to Hollywood. Once there, a chance encounter lands her a job at the Bourbon Room, a famous nightclub run by Dennis Dupree (Alec Baldwin) that has played host to countless rock icons, including the wildly unhinged Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise). Falling in love with the Bourbon's busboy Drew (Diego Boneta), Sherrie thinks she's found happiness, but a grave misunderstanding finds the lovers parting ways; as each one drifts further away from their dreams, tragedy also strikes the Bourbon in the form of a bitter mayor's wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), intent on shutting them down. But with a little luck and a lot of love, the power of rock 'n' roll might just save them all.


Fleeting cleverness works its way into a story of shattered dreams, lost and found love, personal redemption, and all that is '80s rock (including oodles of sweat, skin, pyrotechnics, girls, booze, and mischievous pet monkeys). With laughs from sexually deviant setups, suggestive comedic arrangements, and lascivious routines, and awkwardness from the stereotypical insanities of out-of-control musicians, the lack of a plot is intermittently forgotten. The infectious, nonstop soundtrack is also, fortunately, so intoxicating that it hides the deficiency in scripting. Generic characters and expected revelations messily fill in the gaps for a thrillingly assembled composition of catchy tunes and innovative duets, further augmented by an impressive cast (considering the success of the stage play, notable actors were probably easily attracted to the theatrical adaptation).


An abundance of energy similarly makes up for the unconvincing lip-syncing and spontaneous song-and-dance that isn't as smoothly integrated into character actions as other modern musicals. The flow and transitions are somewhat abrasive at the start, but after a few montages that seem to exist in their own indeterminate time frame, it's difficult not to get caught up in Cruise's silliness (embellished with an unwarranted sense of entitlement and extreme decadence), Giamatti's go-to sleazy linguist role, and Baldwin's uncharacteristic visual styling. Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bryan Cranston, and Malin Akerman conflictingly add nothing but recognizable names and missed potential. Despite the foibles and faults, however, the music really makes it work.

The Blueberry Hunt: Huge entertainment with secrets

Directed and written by Anup Kurian, 'The Blueberry Hunt', is also being made into a graphic novel, slated to release with the film. With The Blueberry Hunt movie, Shah (61) has again shown his partiality towards young directors who have a new story to tell. Blueberry Hunt has not so many well known faces except Naseeruddin Shah, but it's a huge entertaining movie. Naseeruddin Shah is always been well known for his depth of acting and playing the character as alive. In this movie, Naseeruddin Shah has proved his image as the movie, being a low budget movie, has done an outstanding work. No doubt, Naseeruddin Shah has the capability to carry all responsibility on his own shoulder and he has shown it in this movie as well.


The movie has been shooted in the lush green environment in an estate in Vagamon, Kerala. The estimated budget of the movie is INR 12,500,000. The movie is produced by a team of Arun Kurian, Sachein Shah and Mathewkutty Mattam, stunts and thrills are given by B Thyagarajan.

The movie has the top class cast from the Hindi Cinema as well as from the South Film Industry. Dennis Robert, Jojo Mathew and Merliyn Joseph are the executive producers of the movie. The Blueberry Hunt Movie rating was not too good and not too bad but had a different concept.


You will love it or hate it, but you cannot ignore it. In this movie, Naseeruddin Shah is playing the role of a recluse who grows marijuana for a living and is completely disillusioned with the social system. The story of the Bluberry Hunt movie focuses on the final five days when Colonel's plantation of a high potency variant of marijuana - Blueberry Skunk - gets ready for harvest. The movie is filled with the excitement with a touch of forest and some horror scenes giving a thrill to the audience to entertain. The movie is shooted in a very lush green location of Kerala.

The movie has fulfilled all the expectations of the audience as Naseeruddin Shah never disappoints his fans. The Blueberry Hunt Movie Review is good as expected.

Bollywood Events 2011, Shahrukh Khan is playing villain one of the greatest highs

As per Latest Shahrukh Khan Interviews at one of the famous in Bombay, he said that, "Evil or devil, black or little grey characters, be it in books, stories, films or television, have some sort of an attraction. I started with theatre and there was nothing like a heroic character. There was a central character or an important character. I have played good and bad on stage. When I joined films I got a chance to play these characters again."


"Now, after 15-20 years, I got a chance to play a negative character in Don. There is a justification for the character to be negative, to be bad. I enjoy doing it. I am in no way glorifying negative characters. These are stories and characters. But as an actor, it is one of the greatest highs to play a villain," he said.


Don 2 Cast - Priyanka Chopra, Om Puri, Lara Dutta and Kunal Kapoor


As per Latest Bollywood Events, Don 2 Release Date - 23rd December 2011


"I do consider that many a times. I think an actor will always have this thought. For us, this is our job, but the results of our regular job can be negative or positive, or both. Having worked for so many years, I know there are kids and youngsters and all others out there watching our movies, enjoying it."


"But when I see the documentaries on poverty, things happening on the streets of India, terrorism, attacks in Iraq or things that are happening around the world in terms of drugs syndicate, I feel, in real world, we have enough badness for the people to be get impressed by it. We try to bring focus on these things through our films or characters in a controlled environment of our films. Films and characters should not be taken to heart and home and try to follow."


"Most of the films that we do in India are of goodness, hope and aspirations. Sometimes, we do make edgy films and on the commercial parameters Don is a bit edgy movie. And I would like to clarify that we are a responsible people and we too, are always worried that they don't take bad things, films and characters that we do to entertain them. Don't take away bad things," he added. ch SRK played a negative role. Yash Chopra's Darr (1993), a psychological thriller, was the story of an obsessive lover played by Shah Rukh, to get his lady love Juhi Chawla, who was already married to another man. A similar storyline in Anjaam had the actor play a bad guy opposite Madhuri Dixit in the female lead.


Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment have joined hands with Ganeshshastra and Mango games, two leading gaming companies in India, in their bid to make people aware about the film.


SRK said that, "I feel gaming is a good platform to tell stories of a film and about the characters through this medium. Today, gaming is a biggest platform. They make games according to films. I hope more and more films make use of this growing platform."


Ganeshshastra has developed a game where players can get to play Shahrukh's character and do action sequences similar to those enacted in the film. The game will be launched in March next year.


The other game, developed by Mango Games, will be launched on Facebook on December 23, the day the film releases in cinema houses.


Director Producer Farhan Akhtar said that, "The idea of making a game based on the film's narrative really excited me. It is an interesting way for people to get to do some real action and adventure."


Producer Ritesh Sidhwani said that, "The game looks as real as the film and its characters. This is the best way to keep the hysteria going among the fans."

Friday The 13th Part Two, A Gruesome Horror Movie

There were times in my childhood when I used to have spine-chilling experiences while watching a horror movie. But as years passed by, the more matured I became I realized that most of the horror movies are a part of entertainment i.e. the kind of movies that thrills or scares until you are in the theater. But as soon as you leave the theater or finish watching the movie, the thrill or the scary feeling you have just goes away.


To be frank, there were some horror movies that have given me a couple of sleepless nights. One of them is the Friday the 13th Part Two. I know most of the people and critics have felt that the Friday, the 13th franchise has become a little boring. You know every three or four years there would be a sequel of the Friday the 13th, sometimes making us quite irritated and less interested in watching it.


Now why I feel that the movie Friday the 13th Part Two is worth watching compared to the other sequels and its prequel is because there are some scary stuff and the story also makes sense. The movie opens up with the killing of Alice, who was the only survivor in the first installment by Jason Voorhees. Now for some people who have not seen the first installment, here is a small piece of information.  A small boy named Jason Voorhees gets drowned in the lake at the camp Crystal Lake due to the irresponsibility of the two camp in-charges. Years later his mother Pamela Voorhees starts killing all the innocent campers who come to the lake as a revenge for her son's death. In the end of the first installment, she gets killed by Alice, and her son Jason is on a revenge spree in the second part.


In the second part, five years after killing Alice, a group of teenagers come to the camp Crystal Lake for camping. Jason takes each of the teenagers and kills them in a brutal way. One of the victims gets killed when Jason hangs him a barbed wire. Another victim, the sheriff, after finishing the investigation gets killed instantly by Jason. While sitting in his car Jason attacks and kills him with the set of claws from the hammer, spilling his blood on his car's windshield. Even a poor wheelchair bound camper does not escape from Jason as he gets killed by having a machete struck on his face. A camper girl who goes to investigate the death that has happened around the camp Crystal Lake gets stabbed with a kitchen knife by Jason while she goes to help the wheelchair bound camper.


The scenes of killing are gruesome. But the only part that disappointed me or what I felt awkward was the climax. The only survivor Ginny while being chased by Jason enters his shack and finds a shrine created by Jason for his mother. The shrine has the mummified head of Pamela Voorhees; Jason's mother surrounded by lighted candles and dead corpses including that of Alice. Seeing that she cannot escape from Jason, she wears his mother's sweater and tries to fiddle with the mind of Jason. Jason at first gets carried over, but after seeing the mummified head of his mother comes to his senses and tries to kill Ginny. Luckily her boyfriend comes at that time and he starts fighting with Jason. Seeing both of them in a fight, Ginny takes her chance and stabs Jason on his shoulder with a machete. Then they both escape and hide in a cabin. Jason escapes from his shack and searches for them.


Later, Ginny gets exhausted and falls asleep. She wakes up and sees that she is in an ambulance with no recollection of how she escaped and what happened to her boyfriend. In the final scene, they show the mummified head of Pamela Voorhees to show that Jason still continues his terror spree at the Crystal Lake camp.


I know this ending is confusing and does not make sense, but what make the picture scary and worthwhile to watch is the ghastly killing scenes and the deformed face of Jason which is shown at the end. For those who want to watch the movie, you could either rent its DVD or watch it on your TV on some of the popular channels offered by cable and satellite providers like Dish Network.

Story of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Movie Available

It's been two years since Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr., and Jude Law teamed up to create a new vision of Sherlock Holmes. Stripped of his polish and refinement, Ritchie's vision brought a new direction for the master detective, complete with a complicated bromance (a word I suspect Holmes would detest as much as I do) between Holmes and Watson. The real shame of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is that now, two years later, I couldn't really remember my take on the film. I thought I liked it, but had to go back and read my own review as a reminder as to how I responded to the film – a picture I haven't revisited since its 2009 release. Even the thought of a sequel didn't compel me to revisit the original, just my own review.


While it may be a shame that I didn't feel compelled to revisit the first picture, maybe that's for the best. Ritchie's sequel is a much stronger picture, building on the foundation of the original movie where Holmes' eccentric behavior was established and taking that behavior a step further as Holmes (Downey Jr.) becomes obsessed with chasing down his nemesis, Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris). That obsession brings Holmes back into conflict with his buddy, as Moriarty sees Watson (Law) and his new bride as easy targets for retribution in the game between the criminal mastermind and the world's leading detective.


Much like the 2009 picture, Ritchie brings an interesting visual style to the world of Sherlock Holmes. The style of the first picture was one of the things I really liked, giving a feeling of squalor in the streets of London at the same time as bringing the excitement of the upcoming Industrial age – an era Holmes certainly was willing to embrace. That design continues here with great effect. Even as Game of Shadows moves into the countryside and spends time among French gypsies instead of London commoners, the grungy, pulpy feeling pervades, making the visuals feel like they could easily have been ripped from a novel.


The rapport between Downey Jr. and Jude Law is once again at the center of the story, although Watson is a lot more supportive this time around and Holmes is a bit crazier, if such a thing were possible. Downey Jr.'s approach to Holmes feels like it's cut from the same mad, pure energy that gave birth to Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. Both characters are heroic, devoted to their individual pursuits, and carry an intellect that could be considered quite mad. Much like Depp's Sparrow works for his franchise, Downey grounds the character enough that it fits into Ritchie's dirty reality, although some of that comes from his relationship with Law's Watson.


Poor Rachel McAdams doesn't quite make the cut for Game of Shadows – a bizarre twist considering I felt like the primary purpose her character served was to set up a potential sequel. The actress is kind enough to appear in the first ten to fifteen minutes of this picture, giving her character's story a sense of closure before the leading lady baton is tossed to Noomi Rapace, a gypsy fortune teller who is unintentionally included in both Moriarty's plot and Holmes's plan to expose the criminal. She isn't a romantic interest for Holmes, which I think I like better; the character feels more complete without a romantic pursuit, and Rapace is a good match for her character – not as good a match as Stephen Fry, who puts in time as Holmes's equally eccentric brother, Mycroft, and completely steals at least one of the scenes he is in.


Ultimately, Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows comes down to two pivotal relationships: Holmes and Watson, which was built excellently in the first movie and carries on well enough here, and Holmes and Moriarty, a brilliant symbiotic relationship between master criminal and master hunter. Every time Downey and Harris share the screen, the tension between their two characters becomes almost tangible. Unfortunately, that time on screen isn't long enough, with the two characters kept separate by the plot for most of the story.


Harris carries that tension with him whenever you see him – the frustration and excitement of being pursued by London's best – but the same can't quite be said of Downey, who has to spread his attention and energy to other matters and interactions over the course of the story. Still, it's a stronger antagonistic relationship than Sherlock Holmes carried, and I almost wish they had brought Moriarty in sooner, or at least given the audience a more concrete feel for the character as played by Harris working behind the scenes there. What we get here is just too brief a treat.


There are still things about Ritchie's portrayal of the leading detective that I don't care for – the frenetic filming of some of the action, for example, but I think Game of Shadows is a much stronger film than its predecessor. Can Holmes and Watson endure another chapter? I hope so, but only if Moriarty or an equally compelling villain can play opposite Downey's Holmes.

The actor, who walked the additional mile 3 years ago to tone his physique for Bheema, is hitting the gym once more, now for his upcoming film Raja Paatai, directed by Suseendhran. Tollywood actress Deeksha Seth plays his love interest.


While Vikram has admitted that he plays a gym instructor within the film, some additional details have leaked out regarding his character in Raja Paatai. It's said he portrays a gym boy, who involves town with a dream of changing into an enormous villain in Tamil films.


The manner within which he achieves his goal is narrated in a very lighter vein, with a sprinkling of romance. Sources say that the film are along the lines of Kamal Haasan's rollicking comedy Pammal K. Sambandham.


A chunk of shooting passed off recently at an enormous set erected along the lines of Bachelor's Mansion, with a row of adjoining street homes.

Watch NEW YEAR'S EVE online free. Yes!

The lives of several couples and singles in New York intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve. The movie tells intertwining stories of a group of New Yorkers as they navigate their way through romance over the course of New Year's Eve. Robert De Niro will play a bitter dying man in a hospital, while Michelle Pfeiffer will be a frustrated executive secretary who decides to tackle her unfulfilled resolutions. Hilary Swank will play a producer of the famed Times Square New Year's Eve show. Ashton Kutcher will play a guy who hates New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve is a sequel to the hit Romantic Comedy Valentine's Day, with the holiday switched from Cupid's day to the start of the new year.


Next to nothing is known about the picture at present. It looks like the producers just want to bring back the same ensemble for the sequel, with the same director and writer. No plot details have been released, and there may not even be a script yet. It will likely follow the same format as Valentine's Day, with a variety of people finding romance in different ways.


Second Movie Poster for New Year's Eve. "Let The Countdown Begin." Josh Duhamel, Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Michelle Pfeiffer and Hilary Swank star in director Garry Marshall's (Valentine's Day) all-star ensemble romantic comedy. See the movie trailers, poster and photos for ‘New Year's Eve'. The film celebrates love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts, in the intertwining stories told amidst the pulse and promise of New York City on the most dazzling night of the year.


The loose sequel to the ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day, directed by Garry Marshall.  Warner Bros. is hoping this will be the start of a beautiful franchise of holiday-themed rom-coms. The narrative centers around the miscommunication surrounding a viral outbreak.  Director Steven Soderbergh is re-teaming with The Informant! scripter Scott Z. Burns, with a cast that includes Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, and Jude Law.  He's also making his first 3D movie.  Could be very cool.


If I didn't know any better, I'd swear Garry Marshall was trying to break the unofficial record he set in Valentine's Day by jamming even more A and B-list actors into his new romantic comedy New Year's Eve. The ultimate result is they are all a part of your basic multi-threaded movie that intertwines the lives of, in this case, a very large number of people during our favorite "I'm going to be a better person right after I recover from tomorrow's hangover" holiday. Mixed with the drunken festivities, I sense a lot of those revelations cheesy enough to choke a billy goat coming through too. See below and make a determination for yourself.

Review of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Thanks to expertise of David Fincher at the helm, the film noir has turned distinctly white with this stealthy, and steely adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The staples of the genre are all here, we have familial corruption, sexual sadism and murder, and Fincher has cast them all into a maelstrom of intrigue on a private and remote island where large pale houses loom starkly against the large pale sky.


The snow is falling heavily outside, the river has frozen and inside it is positively Baltic. Daniel Craig turns in a typically winning performance as the disgraced journalist from Stockholm, Mikael Blomkvist, who has accepted a commission from the wealthy industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), a loner who lives in the far north amid numerous brothers and sisters that he can't even be bothered to speak to.


Vanger hires Blomkvist under the premise of researching his memoirs, although what he really wants, or so he says, is to find out who it was that abducted his teenaged niece over 40 years earlier. Vanger announces with relish that Blomkvist will be investigating the most detestable people he will ever meet; his family.


This film is the latest chapter in the weird afterlife of the author Stieg Larsson, who died in 2004 from a heart attack. Since then, this posthumously published novel, the first in his Millennium Trilogy, has sold over 30m copies, and has also spawned a successful film version in Swedish in 2009.


Many are now familiar with the constant twists and turns of the yarn, but if you don't it barely matters. Fincher expertly handles this film and makes it seem as fresh as if it had just come out of the freezer, although the word fresh doesn't fit into well in the description of a film steeped so deeply in the murkiness of human cruelty, and seems to excitedly disgusted by its own content.


Blomkvist's investigation brings him into contact with the turbulent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, (Rooney Mara) who is also a ward of the state. Having been brutalized and tortured by the authorities and is a burning rage personified. She trusts nobody, not even herself, and she only manages to raise her eyes to look at Blomkvist when he tells her he needs her help to catch a killer of women.


It is a crying shame that not more Hollywood thrillers aren't as muscular, supple and gripping as this one. With a lesser director in charge, this could well have just ended up as a messy, trashy piece of pulp, but Fincher expertly pulls it all together by playing it straight down the line and keeping it intense and serious.


He makes us actually care about Salander and Blomkvist as they around the island and through the hidden corridors. They pass Nazi skeletons and references to the Old Testament on their way down to the basement. Tales such as this demand to be in the basement; secrets are buried, the light is turned on, and all hell breaks loose.
