The Ultimate Gadget

28 May

This is brilliant, millions of people use these everyday of their lives and if you put a little thinking into it, you can get even more out of it, lets take a look.

What do you get when you combine the iPad with two strips of Velcro?

Seemingly it creates the killer ultimate device; a Northern California filmmaker has come up with various ideas with using  just two strips of Velcro and your iPad, this could mean the ability to ditch the majority of electronics in your home … within reason. :P

Pop it on the dashboard, and it becomes an easily navigable GPS or a movie player for bored kids; throw it up on the wall, and it’s suddenly a chic digital photo frame, spewing out images of you and your sweetie. (very nice!)

Attach it to the kitchen wall, and follow along as Jamie Oliver sears a pan full of fish steaks.

The ability to mount it on a wall means a mobile TV, wall-mounted cook book instruction player, a laptop for web surfing … the possibilities really do seem limitless.

You heard it here first though.

Ah… the question on everybody’s mind is Can it Blend?

Well, yes but it can only be blended, it’s been tried.

It’s not the replace-all device for every electronic do-dad, but the Velcro certainly makes it handier as it does what it was built to do.

If you sit down and think about it, how many of your electronics, books and other things could you ditch with the iPad?

Unfortunately, probably not much at this point.

The device is an addition-to gadget, rather than an instead-of gadget for the majority of users.

But hopefully one day we can use it to replace a pile of other devices from laptops and remote controls, to books and alarm clocks.

not bad! ;) magic

The Book Of Eli

27 May

The Hughes Brothers, directors of From Hell and Menace II Society among others, have created an interesting and thoughtful action movie, that also carries a message of faith and hope.

The action set-pieces are well handled, and the photography of the movie, is very well done.

While the setting itself isn’t particularly new, along similar lines to Mad Max and other movies of this kind, they still get some pretty impressive visuals.

They are also helped by having two of the best actors around in this movie.

Denzel Washington carries the movie easily and is also very convincing in the action sequences.

Gary Oldman as Carnegie gives a performance more in line with some earlier work, such as Leon than some recent performances but he is always worth watching.

The rest of the cast, led by Mila Kunis all give good support.

View Trailer


Eli (Denzel Washington) has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland.

The world has become a lawless civilization where people must kill or be killed.

The barren roads belong to gangs of cutthroats who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or just for fun.

Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with unbelievable killing skills when he is challenged.

enjoy! ;) magic

Transporter 3

30 Nov

Transporter 3

Riding on after the fun and at times hilariously over-the-top “Transporter 2″, Jason Statham is back as Frank Martin, aka, The Transporter in “Transporter 3.”

If you enjoyed the previous films, I can guarantee you will love this ride of mayhem.

Frank Martin has been pressured into transporting Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for the Ukraine, from Marseilles through Stuttgart and Budapest until he ends up in Odessa on the Black Sea.

The House Bunny

29 Nov

Let me just say that I’m having a great time watching The House Bunny, this is for the lads too ;)

To sum it up, The House Bunny is basically an Adam Sandler movie for girls, with Anna Faris breathing life into an otherwise flat movie with her uncanny comic ability and unbeatable charm.

In short, she makes the movie watchable, and in some moments, likable and entertaining.

When Shelly, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Tau Zeta.

The members of the sorority – who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet – are about to lose their house.

have fun! ;) magic

Fire And Ice

29 Nov

The acting is okay in this, John Rhys-Davies and Arnold Vosloo were the strongest, and the rest of the cast were ho-hum.

The special effects are predictably terrible, however, that only applies to the stingray-like dragons because the landscapes are quite enjoyable to look at. ;)

The dragons do not look good, and it was quite a letdown to be honest.

All in all, Fire & Ice has an overall okay production value, making it seem like an expensive project, but with a mediocre story, all it really adds up to is a snooze-fest. :)

have fun! ;) magic
