New ‘Skyfall’ Posters Online & Runtime

Not too long ago, more Skyfall posters were released in which you can see them below. In other news, Showbiz411 is suspected to be singing the James Bond Skyfall song. This will be her first single since her album ’21’. So will she be humming it or something? I have no idea. As for the MI6.com, they are reporting that Skyfall clocks in at 145 minute runtime.

The first one looks pretty cool. James Bond in action pointing that gun looking all hot. And we all love Ralph Fiennes. Freaking Voldemort, the coolest guy ever. And that French girl witht he same exact picture she’s had on like 5 other posters. But either way, they’re cool.

‘Stand Up Guys’ Trailer Review – January 11, 2013

Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, Hector from Breaking Bad who also was the hitman in Scarface and Gianni Moretti in Person Of Interest. How can you go wrong with all of these really cool old guys?

Well, until Righteous Kill came out, I didn’t even know Al Pacino was still alive. Like Pacino said on David Letterman when Righteous Kill came out.

Pacino: “I made Righteous Kill to show people that I’m still alive”

De Niro: “I made Righteous Kill to see if Al Pacino was still alive”

This has an amazing cast and a pretty solid storyline as it seems to be. But for some reason, I do not have the best feeling about this. I have the feeling it will be like Righteous Kill. Righteous Kill was good, I loved it personally, but it was not phenomenal or a classic. This defintely has the potential to be a classic, but I highly doubt it would be, since all of our gangster heroes are old men in this film and probably can’t do  much but drive, talk about old times, make jokes about how old they are, and fire a gun.

If James Cameron Made Jurassic Park

All the time, people always wonder. ”What if (insert director’s name) made (insert cool movie idea)?’ Or ‘What if (insert actor’s name) played (insert character’s name) in (insert movie title)?’ Well, what if James Cameron made Jurassic Park?

“I tried to buy the book rights and he beat me to it by a few hours,” said Cameron. “But when I saw the film, I realized that I was not the right person to make the film, he was. Because he made a dinosaur movie for kids, and mine would have been Aliens with dinosaurs, and that wouldn’t have been fair.”

Of course, everyone loves Jurassic Park. It’s a great movie for everyone to see with amazing visual effects for it’s time and an amazing conept. Aliens with dinosaurs might not have been as popular, since it would not have been apealling to younger people and just to adults. Like James Cameron says, “that wouldn’t have been fair”.

“Dinosaurs are for 8-year-olds. We can all enjoy it, too, but kids get dinosaurs and they should not have been excluded for that. His sensibility was right for that film, I’d have gone further, nastier, much nastier.”

Of course, Jurassic Park had its nasty parts too with dinosaurs eating people and Samuel L. Jackson’s arm. It was also intense with the dinosaurs coming after the people and kids and eating guys while they’re on the toilet. Personally, I do think if James Cameron did make Jurassic Park, it would not be anywhere as good mainly because he’s looking into a horror or really intense suspense for adults.

‘Double Indemnity’ 1944 Review – Movie Friday

• Plot: An insurance rep lets himself be talked into a murder/insurance fraud scheme that arouses an insurance investigator’s suspicions.
• Director: Billy Wilder
• Writers: Billy Wilder (screenplay), Raymond Chandler (screenplay), and 1 more credit »
• Stars: Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson | See full cast and crew

Story: If you have not seen this film ever, I highly recommend this. I watched this in my film class while studying ‘film noir’. This is considered one of the greatest film noirs ever. I absolutely agree that it is one of the best too. With a witty concept with the double indemnity clause, even going into the film and not knowing was ‘double indemnity’ meant was exciting since it sounded so cool. I use to think this was actually called ‘Double IDENTITY’.

One of the very first real thrillers would so many twists and turns, making us wonder why Walter Neff is telling Keyes about everything and why he is breathing hard and sweating. Phyllis and hear obviously fake wig telling us she is indeed hiding something. We know she’s the reason for Walter’s condition as he speaks to Keyes through the message he’s leaving for him, but we don’t know why and we can’t think of why she would do something to him.

Cast & Characters: One of Barbara Stanwyck’s greatest performances in all of her films. She gives us that devious look at the time that she’s hiding something. She tells Walter she loves him in the most passionate ways, but even so, we know she is not telling the truth. Fred MacMurray also gives a solid performance as Walter Neff who is seduced by a woman and is backstabbed by the one he thinks he loves.

Rewatch Value: Moderate

Verdict: Film noir at it’s peak in one of the first film thrillers in law with great performances from Barbara Stanwyck and Fred McMurray a namazing direction from Billy Wilder.

Is Windows 8 Really What We Need?

With Windows 8 right around the corner, due out on October 26th, is Windows 8 really what we need? We have seen the new UI that forces at start up, and so far, it does not look very appealing. It looks like something you would use on your tablet, while drinking a cup of coffee and using your mac-book at Starbucks, because you’re a hipster douche who hangs out at Starbucks for the free WiFi.

Get yo’ tablet design out of my desktop

Now of course, you can use a more traditional Windows UI, but this new ‘metro’ UI will be what you see every time you boot your computer, and if you’re a good person, that’s at least once every 3 days. I can tell you, that I’m going to be throwing my computer out of my window if I have to see that every time I boot up.

With the new UI aside, lets talking about PC gaming on windows 8, shall we? As you may or may not know, I love me some video games, and I really love PC Gaming. But what’s going to happen to our beloved PC gaming on Windows 8? Well, Microsoft wants to embrace the PC gaming culture, as long as you do it the Microsoft way. This article drives that point home. There’s also been outcry from Gabe Newell of Valve, who goes as far as suggesting that we take to Linux for PC gaming. The CEO of Stardock, Brad Wardell points out three big problems with Windows 8, who says it’s “Schizophrenic” and “Obnoxious”. Blizzard, of Starcraft, Diablo, and Warcraft fame also does not like it, echoing what Gabe Newell said. Markus “Notch” Persson of Minecraft fame, voiced his concern in a reddit AMA about a month ago, stating that he worries if Windows 8 is locked down, then it will hurt Indie gaming in the future. If Gaben being worried wasn’t enough, then Notch being worried should be.

So what does Windows 8 hold in store for users? We’ll find out as more and more people get their hands on it, but only you can be your own Judge.

‘Lincoln’ Trailer #1 Review – January 25, 2013

Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Forrest Gump’s mom (Sally Field)… CAN THIS GET ANY BETTER?

When I reviewed the teaser to this trailer a couple days ago, I expected another ‘War Horse’. But no, my thoughts have been changed. The cast for this film is phenomenal. So many great actors packed into one movie. It’s like The Dark Knight Rises but with a Spielberg and retro American style to it.

Plus, it’s a Spielberg film. You can never go wrong with him. Even is ‘ok’ or ‘bad’ movies are better than a lot of films these days. The cinematography and look of the film is beautiful too. Daniel Day Lewis looks like Abraham Lincoln and I am stoked to see those war scenes on the big screen.

‘Lincoln’ hits theaters January 25, 2013.

‘Ted’ & ‘The Bourne Legacy’ To Get Sequels?

The fourth film in the Bourne series, the third sequel, ‘The Bourne Legacy’, which came out not too long ago has grossed just over $182 million worldwide so far. Not as good as expected, but still, Universal still believes more milk can be pumped from the series. So a fifth film should go into development soon. Obviously, it would have to star Jeremy Renner, or if they could figure out how to get Matt Damon back in the loop.

The Bourne Series is not the only recent release by Universal that is likely to spawn a sequel. ‘Ted’, the hit summer box office comedy, is in the talks about a sequel. Although Seth Mcfarlane has not expressed thought or too much interest in a sequel, he said he is open to the idea though.

Did you like ‘The Bourne Legacy’ and ‘Ted’ enough to want a sequel to both? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter!

‘Transformers 4’ Promises New Robots

According to TFW2005.com , who attended UBS Best of Americas 2012 Conference, Transformers 4 is to have all new robots and a new cast overall.

“Transformers: Dark Of The Moon did well in box office,” says Goldner. “Regarding toy sales… it’s because of same characters in all three movies. This is why Transformers 4 will have a new cast of [robot] characters and it will be a story revolving around these new characters.”

TFW2005 also reported that Armstrong is going have a Transformers TV Show in 2014 also.

So they’re going to reboot the series with a whole new cast because of… toys? Of course, if they kept the Shia Lebouf story going, it would get ridiculous. I still wonder why he is not the most famous man in the world in the 3rd movie after saving the world not once but TWICE already.

Should it be a reboot? Or should they just add a new cast with new robots and continue on? What do you think? Tell us in the comments below or on Twitter!

‘Transformers 4’ is set to hit theaters sometime in 2014.
