Back in 1959 when Disney created the animated Sleeping Beauty it was, or rather it were pretty unambiguous that Maleficent is an evil witch that needs to be destroyed. Now it’s a cartoon based on the brothers Grimm fairytale and it really is expected from a witch to be angry that she wasn’t invited to…

The Academy revokes a nomination for Original Song
WOW! The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just revoked the nomination of “Alone Yet Not Alone” for Original Song. This would be the sixth time in history that a nomination (or a winner) has been revoked, but first time for electoral impropriety. Now what is electoral impropriety you ask? It means that the…

“I know you…” sings Lana Del Rey in Maleficent Trailer #2
Disney’s Maleficent is headed for some serious Box Office results, even though audiences were impressed with the first trailer, with the second trailer Disney really hit the spot.

Mockingjay – part I first poster mimics Katniss’s dress
Lionsgate released the first poster of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I, the poster just like the posters for the previous two films follows the style of the book covers. There’s a slight difference in the angle in which the mockingjay is presented that really reflects on the famous scene of Catching Fire when Katniss’s…
Her – critique to tech obsessed society – Oscars 2014
Imagine this, you are at your home, comfortably listening to music or whatever, when you whip out your smartphone and ask Siri or Google Now: “Hey, how’s it going?” and from there instead of the mildly robotic voices we are used to, you get entirely real, proffound human voice. “I am fine, thank you I am…
Is Gravity a science fiction movie?
My previous post was a little review on how impressed I was with the movie and there pretty confident I wrote that the movie “of course is science fiction”. But then it got me thinking, where was the science fiction in Gravity? What should one movie have in it to belong in sci-fi? Sure, there…
Today I watched Gravity – Oscars 2014
I just saw Gravity with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, the movie as you all know has been nominated for Best Motion Picture and nine more nominations which makes it the movie with most nominations along with American Hustle.

2014 Oscar Nominations or Will Leo finally get one?
Yesterday the much appreciated Academy announced the 2014 Oscar nominees for the best of the best in 2013.

Will Walter Mitty daydream it’s way to the Oscars?
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is throughout cinemas since Christmas Day and while the movie isn’t holding any top spots at the box office (those are apparently reserved for Frozen and Smaug) Walter Mitty looks like it’s the critic’s fav choice. Directed by Ben Stiller who is also playing the main role of Walter…
Man Of Steel Blu-Ray disk released
…while I am somewhat unsure about my feelings towards Man Of Steel as a movie, I couldn’t be more glad to hear that the BR disk is out. The hit movie starring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams seems worthy enough to be seen at home in a perfect clear 1080p resolution. My favorite part: the…
…just saw the Oscars…
…and it was weird!? Firstly, Seth MacFarlane was the host and he wasn’t really all that funny, let’s say it was OK, but someone should have told him he isn’t hosting someones Roast. There were plenty of times were the audience didn’t know how to react, and walking of after “the next presenter doesn’t need…

Fringe ended, it was emotional!
So the last Friday night in two episodes Fringe ended with it’s 100th episode. For me season one and season two were the best seasons, but somehow the show kept it’s appeal and watched it all the way to the end. What did we learn from it? It’s all about family.It all started with a…
