Super 8 gets interactive inside Portal 2

Movies, Technology, Video, , , , , ,

Valve’s Portal 2 just came out this past Tuesday, and it’s already being touted as the year’s best game. In an interesting move, Paramount turned to the game’s developers to insert this interactive trailer for the upcoming sci-fi flick Super 8. Gamers can move around the universe built by J.J. Abrams by accessing “Super 8” inside Portal‘s main menu under Extras. Lazy? You can watch it unfold in the video above. It’s nothing particularly exciting, but it’s neat to see the train wreck we’ve come to know and question come alive in video game form.

HBO finally gets it, brings HBO Go service to iOS, Android

News, Technology, Television, Video, , , , , , , , , ,

HBO first unveiled the HBO Go service in February 2010, promising subscribers access to their favorite premium TV shows and movies inside their browser. It never really caught on. Today HBO revealed its plan to bring the on-demand service to the mobile front, and I’ve got a feeling this will get the motors revving. Come May 2, HBO subscribers will have instant and unlimited access to every episode of every season available through HBO on their mobile devices. Featured content includes “HBO original series, blockbuster hits, sports, specials and more.” The company has specified it’ll be coming to iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad as well as Android-powered ones. The service is free for (paying) HBO subscribers and it’ll work over WiFi and 3G. The interface mimics the one they’ve been using inside the browser and it’s pretty slick; check it out in the video above.

Music, Video, , , ,

Rap icon Kanye West took his act to Indio, California this week to close out the Coachella music festival. YouTube streamed it live, and now it’s available for all to see; I’ve taken the liberty to embed the video after the break. The performance was phenomenal, to say the least. It was broken up into three acts, and ‘Ye made sure to please all his fans by spitting rhymes from all across his storied career. Everything from “Through the Wire” to “Stronger” to cuts from 808s & Heartbreak and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy were performed enthusiastically. Special guests included Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon on some Twisted Fantasy tracks, Pusha T on “Runaway,” and of course Kanye brought with him his wonderful ballet dancers. The cinematography is well done–it brings you up close and personal to the rapper and it also takes you into the iPhone and iPad dominated crowd. Again, the lengthy act can be viewed after the break; it’s split into to approx. 50 minute videos, so grab some popcorn and turn up the volume.

This little video’s gone viral and after you mash play you’ll no longer wonder why. Musical duo KarminMusic–comprised of Nick the keyboardist and Amy the vocalist–have produced an outstanding cover of Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now,” a track I never really enjoyed until I watched this. Girl’s got game, yo.

Trailer 2: Cowboys & Aliens

Movies, Video, , ,

Here we have the sequel to the November 2010 premiere trailer for Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens. It combines nearly everything we saw in that trailer with the Super Bowl 30-second spot and adds 0h-so-much more. In this brand spankin’ new trailer we are provided with more detail about Daniel Craig’s character and where he comes from. Apparently he was abducted by aliens and instead of killing him the foreign creatures dropped him into Arizona Territory in the year 1873. The weapon they fastened onto his arm looks to be a tracking device that ends up leading the alien race to the desert. Olivia Wilde has some speaking lines here, and co-star Harrison Ford also makes an appearance. Watch the trailer above, and hop after the break to read an updated synopsis.

Cowboys & Aliens releases July 29, and damn it’s gonna be good. Continue reading Trailer 2: Cowboys & Aliens →

‘The Hobbit’ begins production, here’s a look behind the scenes

Movies, Video, , , , ,

Director Peter Jackson returns us to Middle-earth in this rather candid vlog that was released onto the web just earlier today. Though we aren’t privy to specific plot elements, this behind the scenes production video from The Hobbit gives us a glimpse into the weapons and costume work, stunt preparation, and it shows off a number of set designs, many of which are carbon copies from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. We even get to see the cast and crew kick off day one of production in New Zealand. Stars Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, and Martin Freeman pop up here and there to provide some insight into what goes on during blocking and rehearsing. Let’s hope that ten-minute vlog sessions like this one become a recurring thing for fans hotly anticipating the Lord of the Rings prequel movies. Part 1 of The Hobbit is due out next year.

Trailer: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Movies, Video,

Today 20th Century Fox released the first full-length trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Too many ofs if you ask me. Anyway, the prequel tells a story where man’s own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. Though the original Planet of the Apes came out in 1968, this one takes place in San Fransisco, present day. Now go on and watch James Franco initiate doomsday by ape infestation in the trailer above. The apes, I must say, look pretty life-like; we can thank the digital effects company behind Avatar for that.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes hits theatres August 5, 2011.
