With an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train barreling toward a city, a veteran engineer and a young conductor race against the clock to prevent a catastrophe.

Denzel Washington knows how to pick his movies, and especially when its a true story. I have also been a fan of Chris Pine since Star Trek so I was looking forward to this fast paced adrenaline rush of a movie. Denzel comes off as the old guy teaching the new guy (Chris) how to operate a train in real life, and as thats going on a pair of idiots mess up a train move when it turns into a half mile long moving missile. The story is simple but you are kept at the edge of your seat wondering how they will use the laws of physics and these machines to slow and stop this catastrophe. You get the story of the guys on the train, their different lives, and things pick up with this train as solution after solution doesn’t work. Action, Suspense and a good amount of wit thrown into a good story!

They have taken the original Star Wars Trilogy and turned into a LEGO Star Wars CGI video short that is awesomely hilarious! It’s a retelling of the the original trilogy, but with a slight twist… it involves that annoying Jar Jar character.

On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history… but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.

Despite its insistently unsexy moving parts (software, algorithms), the movie is paced like a thriller, if one in which ideas, words and bank books blow up rather than cars. Jesse Eisenberg played the Mark Zuckerberg character perfectly, pulling off the genius attitude and better then the rest, he views people in ways that can achieve their tasks and it was portrayed perfectly in in the movie, his view of life and work was clear and straight forward, he went ahead with things without thinking of the impacts and times and you can see the results of his actions with all the troubles that he had to deal with. Although the names have remained the same, “The Social Network” is less of a biopic of the real Mr. Zuckerberg than a gloss on the boot-up, log-on, plug-in generation. The movie is more about the beginning of Facebook and its rough start to dominating the social networks and reaching the 500 million mark. It’s a resonant contemporary story about the new power elite and an older, familiar narrative of ambition, except instead of discovering his authentic self, Mark builds a database, turning his life — and ours — into zeroes and ones, which is what makes it also a story about the human soul. A Must see movie!

In need of a pull rifle or a needle gun to blow a building apart, who wouldn’t want this arsenal for their armory. Creatively ThinkGeek have put together a few memorable weapons from key SciFi movies, I have managed to identify some of them without issue and some I don’t have a clue at all. Do you have an idea of the other weapon’s origins?

1977 – Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Han Solo Gun)
1986 – Aliens (Sigourney Weaver)

As Harry races against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, he uncovers the existence of three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 is fun yet disturbing with a dark undertone to the movie. Potter has left Hogwarts, Dumbledore is really dead, and Voldemort takes over the Ministry of Magic. All hell breaks loose and Harry, Hermione, and Ron are running through the semi-enchanted streets of London into the forests to get away from the Death Eaters. For once we see Voldemort as the leader of the evil forces, and you get to see them instead of them hiding in the dark corners. Muggles and Half-Bloods are hunted and killed, Valdemort installed his people in the government and you can see them with their policy of pure, only those of pure magicians blood can exist, no mudbloods. This just being Part 1 left me wanting so much more and still the movie was amazing, its good to see them all grown up, everything taking place in the real world, and everything is coming together but I still don’t want the movies to end.

Ryan Reynolds in all his Green Lantern greatness in this trailer. Ryan Ryenolds makes his debut as the popular DC Comics action hero, as he first joins Green Lantern Corps and helps protect the universe from a new enemy known as Parallax. Surprisingly Ryenolds plays a pretty good Hal Jordan, he is a little different that what I expected but I think he will do the story and the character justice, he is giving it a human touch, I can’t wait for the movie in June of 2011. This is the first time I know what story line they have chosen to follow and this the is the first time I have seen the trailer of Green Lantern and probably the last, I will just wait to see the movie.

From the first of May until the end of July it will be the best movie blockbuster summer for Geeks. Every year we wait for one or two movies in the summer, like waiting for Iron Man 2, or The Dark Knight, or Tranformers, but 2011 is going to be an insane summer. Every year they usually spread out these kinds of movies but in 2011 they are all together in one shot, its been mentioned that this might not be the best thing for studios since not everyone will be able to see them in the theaters and might be an opportunity cost, so you have to pick and choose your movies, when in this case every weekend will have a great movie which has been in development for a while, so all of them seem pretty good, at least I’m really looking forward to it.

Never have I thought a blockbuster movie could be such a flop, those were two hours of my life that I can not recover. For Aliens attacking one city and a group of people trying to figure their way to survive I thought there would be a reason, something to put it all together, people were dying faster then usual and all the main characters were killed off. I was expecting something to top it off, but when the movie ended I wish I didn’t see it. I can’t believe they went ahead with this movie after reading the script, I gave it one out of five just because the special effects was decent. Avoid the movie.

I can’t wait for the release of this movie, and this short preview looks insane. I usually try not to see previews but this movie is going to be amazing. Ryan Renolds is going to be a great Green Lantern, and I forget Blake Lively was in the movie, and the way the Lanter Suit powers up is fantastic.

A hilarious set with almost all male Star Wars characters, some of them are funny and some of them are out right disturbing. Dart Vader and Bobba Fett look like the 50s pin up posters, but some of the other guys are not meant to be females. You can get these as covers for your iPhones/iPod and even pin up sketches.
