Latest Trailers

Besides the highly expected Avatar trailer some additional and interesting trailers have been published as well. The latest and funniest is about the movie ‘The Men Who Stares At Goats’ which is about a man who claims to be a member of a psychic unit trained by the American government. The movie stars George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges and is coming to cinemas on November 6th (Germany March 4th 2010).

The next movie that caught my attention is ‘Inception’. It’s starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Caine and is directed by Christopher Nolan who directed movies like ‘The Dark Knight’, ‘Batman Begins’, ‘The Prestige’ and ‘Memento’. It will be a Science Fiction Movie, but it’s not quiet clear what exactly it’ll be about. My guess is something similar to ‘The Cell’ and/or
‘The Thirteenth Floor’. It’s supposed to hit the cinemas in July 2010 (Germany August).

The third one is ‘The Wolfman’ supposedly available to you on February 10th (Germany February 11th) 2010 at a theater near you. =) Big suprise it’s about werewolves and the trailer looks very promising. Main characters are played by Anthony Hopkins, Benicio Del Toro and Hugo Weaving.

The last movie is ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx to be released on October 16th in the USA.

Moon And District 9 – New Sci-Fi Movies

admin — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:09:49 +0000

Today I’d like to introduce you to two new, more unusual Sci-Fi movies I’m eager to watch.

District 9 plays in an alternate timeline where aliens made first contact 30 years ago. The unusual is that they were refugees and the last survivors of their kind. They’ve been held in Johannesburg’s District 9 for the last 30 years until humanity decides what to do with them. So far, aliens refused to share their technology with mankind which is why a private company (MNU) is now given control over District 9. But MNU couldn’t reveal the secrets of the alien’s weaponry because it can only be activated by alien’s DNA. Things get complicated for an MNU agent when he gets infected with a virus in District 9 that alters his DNA and makes him the key to the alien’s technology and therefor the most wanted human being on earth.

Moon is about Sam Bell the only inhabitant of a lunar station. Sam is just two weeks away from fulfilling his 3-year-contract when he makes an unexpected discovery that shakes his beliefs in himself, his identity, the company’s objectives and GERTY’s intentions the station’s AI.

Top Secret Movie

I recently found out that still not everybody knows the great movie Top Secret. The only movie where the station leaves the train! The movie stars Val Kilmer who plays a rock’n'roll star who eventually helps to free a scientist from a prison in East Germany. The movie premiered in 1984 and was written, directed and produced by the famous trio David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker who also directed movies like Airplane, Naked Gun 1, 2, 3 and partially Scary Movie 3 and 4. Top Secret is a classic spoof movie with fresh ideas and some elaborately made scenes like the Swedish book store or the fight at the end of the movie. Even though it’s more than 25 years old its simply hilarious. So whether you’ve seen the the movie or not you have to watch at least the first collection of best scenes. Enjoy!!

TRON Legacy

Disney has just released the first official trailer of Tron Legacy, a sequel to its over 27 years old predecessor Tron. The movie will premiere in 2010 and support 3D techniques. While the story is still a bit of a mystery, some casts have been confirmed. Jeff Bridges will return in his role as Kevin Flynn and will have an adult son played by Garrett Hedlund. Bruce Boxleitner is likely to return in his original role as Alan Bradley a.k.a. Tron as well. The trailer looks really nice particularly the redesigned light cycles.

Movie Code_Rush Is Public Domain

Today, a great movie about the creation and release of mozilla’s source code in 1998 became public domain. It’s a documentary about the people actually involved in making Mozilla open source, about their motivation, their goals and the life in the Silicon Valley as it was 10 years ago. Moreover it’s generally about being a programmer in a company which surprisingly hasn’t changed much, has it. Computers, clothes, cars everything has changed but the way of programming hasn’t. People still write source code and create bugs while trying to meet deadlines set by the management. At least open source is not a mystery anymore and Internet Explorer has got company.

If you’re a programmer or interested in the birth of Firefox aka. Mozilla you have to see it. Enjoy!
