My favorite movies in the world are those that involve time travel. I can’t help it, it’s my weakness. I also love any move with Joseph Gordon Levitt. And Bruce Willis. And hell let’s just add Piper Perabo because she’s just as cute as her name. But I didn’t watch Looper. Man I need to get out more. Okay, I’ll watch it right after I see everything that’s wrong with it in under 3 minutes. [Cinema Sins] More »
The Pirate Bay. It’s a site that lives in infamy, perhaps more than any other site on the history. Lots of powerful people are gunning to take it down, but somehow it’s managed to stay up the whole time. It’s a fascinating story, so this upcoming documentary on the topic is bound to be good. I mean, just watch the trailer. More »
Fans have been waiting for the fourth installment of Jurassic Park for quite a while now, with many accepting that it might never happen. Back in October, we reported on the alleged concept artwork that had emerged from the scrapped script, which was about as crazy as any script ever could be. Now Universal has just given fans a reason to rejoice – the studio has announced that Jurassic Park 4 will be hitting theaters on June 13, 2014.
Universal Pictures made the announcement on Twitter earlier today with a simple tweet that read: “Breaking News! Jurassic Park 4 is coming June 13, 2014! What do you hope to see in the new sequel?” According to Variety, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are writing the script. Per the tweet, and not surprisingly, the movie will be in 3D.
Steven Spielberg, who directed Jurassic Park 1 and 2, will produce the movie, but no director has been appointed as of now. It is possible, however, that he could direct the movie, as he has postponed the production of Robopocalypse, and is not locked into any other obligations at the moment. Spielberg hinted back in 2011 that a fourth installment of the series was to be made.
What will the movie be about? No one knows, besides the obvious. Hopefully it won’t be as crazy as the script that surfaced back in 2007, however, which had dog/human/dinosaur hybrids, genetic engineering, strange looking creatures, adrenaline-spiking brain implants, and secret dinosaur-altering facilities in the mountains. In the meantime, fans can see Jurassic Park in IMAX 3D when it is re-released in April.

Out of all the notebooks, all-in-one PCs, and Windows-toting machines revealed at CES this year, the most surprising device HP is bringing to the party has to be the Pocket Playlist. The HP Pocket Playlist is a portable storage device that makes with the wireless connections to your devices across the board, with and without internet connections. Portable media storage and entertainment alike, that’s what’s going on here.
This machine is made to stream unencrypted content to up to five mobile devices at the same time – so says HP. This machine streams movies, music, TV shows, and photos, everything you like. And it’s just a tiny stick – it’s utterly simple in its presentation, surprising in its connectivity abilities. It works with apps, too, starting with a free one-month subscription to PlayLater – record media such as Hulu or Netflix shows and movies and play them later for free on your many multiple devices.
This machine is able to hold up to 16 full-length movies, 7,600 songs or 10,000 photos, though how much storage that actually is, HP isn’t quite letting go of quite yet. You’ll be able to connect to and play to most Wi-fi capable devices including those running Android, Windows Phone, and iOS. This device will be popping up in the United States in February 15th for $129 USD – grab a few!
Meanwhile take a peek at the rest of our CES 2013 coverage and make with the connections to HP’s own collection of devices, computers, and everything in-between. You’ll find that HP’s bringing the heat in the desktop, notebook, and all-in-one universe, not to mention monitors galore.

Because we love all things Back to the Future and see everything through Doc Brown metal-tinted glasses, we forgot how hilariously bad the Hill Valley Telegraph, the newspaper in all the BTTF movies, was. Luckily, Vulture remembered and gathered the headlines of the paper to make fun of. More »
Prometheus, another movie I accidentally skipped even though I really wanted to see it, got a lot of mixed reviews when it came out. Some people absolutely hated it. Others were okay. A few were less negative. Maybe everyone who watched it will hate it after seeing all the things wrong with it though. And maybe everyone who skipped it won’t feel so bad about it anymore.

These images are called spotmaps: each colored square represents the average color from one second of a movie, and that process is repeated the whole way through the film. Can you guess which movies are shown above? More »
If you feel like most movies that come out are cookie cutter versions of movies that already came out, you’re not alone. Sometimes Hollywood doesn’t even try to change anything. Just take a look at the latest movie poster design cliche: the lone-standing hero looking at destruction/buildings/destroyed buildings with his back turned to us. More »
Digital video editing has been so engrained in our collective techno-consciousness, that it seems absurd that film was once—actually—film, and movies had to be assembled by hand on a huge table like this. More »
