South Park have come out with an Inception spoof entitled Insheeption. They've done a really good job, and although they make fun of the film, it really makes me want to go and see Inception again.
It's based on group therapy to deal with hoarding, which Kyle has a problem with. Unfortunately for him he gets sucked into Mr Mackie's dream, which is quite traumatic. My favourite quote from it is when the firemen are asking what a dream within a dream is, "Like a taco in a taco?"
The full episode of South Park: Insheeption can be found here.
I can't believe they're making another one, but they are. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Scream 4. Let's be honest, they've done this to death and I can only see this being a flop.
Out April 15th next year, they've given us a long time to anticipate this, which I think may contribute to their downfall. They'll build people's expectations up high, leaving them to fall further when they see this.
I will say one thing for this production though, they've retained the original cast. It will be interesting to see Courteney Cox alongside David Arquette given their recent split, perhaps this film was the reason?
I was lucky enough to see this last night, and was blown away.
I was fascinated to learn how Facebook began, and how it spiralled into a multi-billion dollar business.
But let's start with the acting. Jesse Eisenberg did a great job of portraying Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, and the world's youngest billionaire. I have seen interviews with Zuckerberg himself, the mannerisms and responses to questions were a spot on match. This is partly due to the acting prowess of Eisenberg, but is also down to the quality of the writing from David Finch.
Justin Timberlake played Napster founder Sean Parker, who arguably contributes to the rift between Facebook co-founders Zuckerberg, and Eduardo Saverin. I was pleasantly surprised by Timberlake's performance; I see a lot of popstars try their hand at acting and a lot of them just don't cut it, this was not the case for Timberlake. He gave a solid performance and I would be very surprised if he did not continue his career on this route.
Andrew Garfield played the role of Eduardo Saverin, who was actually a consultant through the production of the film. I must add that no one else from the Facebook team was involved in the making of the Social Network, and Zuckerberg has said in an interview that he has no intention of seeing it!
Here is the trailer
I was very impressed with director David Finch on this one. The story was told as Zuckerberg was in court being sued by his former best friend,and co-founder of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin. He was also in another hearing being sued by acquaintances at Harvard University who had claimed to have had the idea for Facebook first.
I was glad that I had seen this movie without having known how everything was going to turn out. I saw the film as more of a documentary, and was enthralled in the story learning how everything happened. I find true stories a lot more gripping, and educational at the same time.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone interested in social media, or even any Facebook user. I know a lot of people addicted to Facebook, and feel that they would find it fascinating to see the background and foundations it was built on.
Relationship status, adding photos, and wall comments are all second nature to us now, but when Facebook was created it was revolutionary. Mark Zuckerberg has changed the way the world communicates today, and The Social Network shows how he did it.
Jackass 3D is out this week and I'm really looking forward to it. In this interview Steve-O describes how the film came about, and how they come up with their stunts.
The fact that it's in 3D really isn't a deal-breaker for me. I'd watch it in 2D, I'm just excited for the fact there's new Jackass to watch!
A new action movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! This one will be hitting our cinemas November 24th.
As a kid, I was a big wrestling fan, and my favourite wrestler had to be The Rock, so I always like to see Dwayne Johnson do well. I enjoyed the short performance he gave in "The Other Guys" and felt he'd make a decent action hero, just so long as he didn't make poor decisions like aiming for the bushes!
This film takes a pretty classic storyline, of an individual, just out of jail, on a vigilante mission to have his vengeance. I'm not expecting this to be a particularly memorable film, but a solid start in a starring role for Johnson. I will give this one a watch as although predictable, it looks really entertaining at the same time.
Unstoppable - A new movie out November 12th starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine.
An runaway train is speeding along the tracks destroying everything in it's path. It's effectively a missile as if it derails, it will spill toxic waste and decimate the town. It's up to Washington and Pine's characters to chase this train in a separate locomotive and get it under control before it derails.
If the trailer is anything to go by it looks an absolute blockbuster. I'm a big fan of Denzel from Training Day, American Gangster, and even recently in Book of Eli. If you're a Denzel fan, you ought to go and see this, I know I will be.
