The Movie Blog reports that District 9 has gotten rave reviews so far after a few screenings were held at the annual Comic Con. One user said it may just be better than Star Trek. We’ll have to wait and see, I suppose. Read our short introduction to District 9, the alien movie being produced by Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp.
Almost everyone has had the pleasure of recording a video using a cheesy, boxy and clunky, device with terrible audio. The Samson Q3 seems to be promising a lot for a miniature hand-held camcorder; a nicely-sized product in a small package.
When director Michael Bay makes a movie he goes big, or not at all. He has never lost money from a movie; even his ridiculously big-budgeted movies had no trouble making the return on investment (a chance to make back the cost of the movie in sales). The action packed movies are suspenseful and intense, its Bay’s personal style. Transformers 2: The Revenge of the Fallen is a testament to this.
Peter Jackson along with Neill Blomkamp have been working on hard on District 9, a new movie about what happens when humans try to coexist with aliens on Earth. We mentioned this movie a while ago as unlikely related to Halo, and today it is proven that this is a totally different story as the official full-length movie trailer is released onto the Internet.
Aliens landed on Earth years ago and have been disallowed by humans (governments) to leave the planet. They are placed in District 9, a holding camp for the aliens who no humans are allowed to interact with. Asking “Why can’t they leave?” is the key plot to the movie and it seems the aliens soon become frustrated and begin to do people harm in an effort to leave the planet. This is what I got from the trailer at least.
The movie looks to take a realistic approach, shot in a similar way to what Cloverfield felt like (sans the shaky cam). Visual effects and CG should also be quite awesome. District 9 definitely seems to be an all-in-all promising movie from the director of Lord of the Rings, coming out this August 14. Be sure to check back for more! Here is the latest trailer for District 9.
We’re taking it easy this week to celebrate (party) the United States’ 228th Independence Day on July 4th. I realized how great our country is, despite its recession and downfalls, and how fantastic the people here really are (when they try). We take for granted the vast amount of freedoms that we have, and how far worse some other countries are. We take for granted these freedoms and you won’t truly know what you have until its gone. I am capable of writing this blog with no limitation, no censorship (fuck that!). It is a pleasure.
So go out and have a fantastic 4th of July, celebrate your freedoms and have fun. If you live on the East Coast, I hear that Macy’s is planning one of the largest fireworks display ever on the Hudson River, in order to celebrate Independence, and the 400th anniversary of the exploration done by Henry Hudson. The show will feature 40,000 shells exploding at a rate of more than 1,500 per minute — ridiculous amounts of pyrotechnics. The show starts at 9:20pm on July 4th.
Michael Jackson, 50, throned as the King of Pop has deceased today, June 25, 2009. His music certainly started many trends, popularized an entire genre, and created lifestyles for many since he started singing and dancing in the 1980s. He transformed the music video. He is one of the very few who have been entered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, twice, and holds a few accolades in the Guinness Book of World Records — which include one for “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time” and for the sale of over 750 million albums worldwide, the most of any artist, ever.
It is being reported that Michael suffered a heart attack in his home in California, was hospitalized, and confirmed by the Associated Press that the pop singer had indeed passed just before the evening.
His soul will be remembered in the heart of music forever, among many others who have passed before him. Rest in peace, King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
HTC has been working hard on the latest Android-powered touch screen phone, and we’re now seeing the work they’ve been putting into the new HTC Hero. The Hero has some impressive specs for a cell phone that can rival even the new iPhone 3Gs I’m sure you’ve heard about. Some strong points:
This phone sounds like it will have everything and is an ambitious phone. Leaks from the Internet have spoiled some details about the phone, but all is out in the open – this phone is serious power if HTC can deliver; they have in the past. The phone looks very promising. It will be released first in Europe come July, then in Asia, and finally in North America sometime late 2009, making us wait. Check out HTC’s product page for the Hero. See the HTC Hero in action by watching the video:
E3 brought some onslaught of new, killer racing games such as Gran Turismo 5 and Forza Motorsport 3. These games will surely heat up the console war for racers. The true pit of choice and resentment exists by having two ultimate racing games being offered. Which game do you want? Would you switch from the console you currently own to play the other racing game?
