Has anyone seen The 7th Dimension/Beacon 77? Posted: 30 Jun 2011 10:53 AM PDT I came across it as I enjoy Jonathan Rhodes work. It is a small independent British film about a group of people hacking into the Vatican to gain access to a code which can predict all events in time. I first watched it on a loud busy train to London but what I caught of it I really enjoyed. It is classed as a thriller and I would recommend people spend the £3.99 to buy this film. The acting is superb and the film itself is very good. submitted by testicularmilk [link] [comment]

New Trailer for ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’ Posted: 30 Jun 2011 11:43 AM PDT submitted by rg2988 [link] [comment]

Dear trailer makers: please stop the fade to black nonsense. Posted: 30 Jun 2011 11:41 AM PDT Movie trailers are a fantastic thing; if you watch a trailer from the 60's, you'll notice that the language of movie making changed drastically the last 50 years, the trailers always compressing what was going on at the time. What's going on right now is an abuse of an old trick: fading in and out to black sequentially, over and over. Ghost Protocol trailer was a major disappointment: How Brad Bird, the perfectionist freak, can let this thing out. Directors usually don't do trailers, separate companies are hired for that, but even so, how can he let that thing out. Now the super Tinker Taylor Sailor Spy abuses it as well. And others, and others. I feel like playing peekaboo whenever a new movie trailer is out. submitted by sbarret [link] [comment]

COMICS: Which Member Of The Avengers Had Sex With A Doombot? (Seriously!) Posted: 30 Jun 2011 11:33 AM PDT Now that Thor, X-Men: First Class and Green Lantern have been released, things have gotten a little slow around here, despite the welcome additions to the main page of the latest Captain America: The First Avenger TV spots and international posters. And so, here I bring you possibly one of the most bizarre Marvel moments in their history. (Many thanks to Bleeding Cool for the scans) While I'm sure this was never intended to be the case when Brian Michael Bendis wrote the original reunion between Clint and Wanda following his resurrection during House of M, you have to hand it to Avengers: The Children's Crusade writer Allan Heinberg for this clever, and somewhat unexpected, twist. The sixth issue (featuring the above moment) is on sale now, and well worth checking out.

Ror Reviews: Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Posted: 30 Jun 2011 11:05 AM PDT For me, this movie is a very difficult one to review properly. Whenever anyone tries to point out Michael Bay's GLARING inadequacies as a director you get met with this; "Well, you don't go into a Michael Bay movie for the story, acting, script, dialog, editing etc etc" Yes yes, I get that. He's an action director and we pay to go see his action right? Well see here is my problem with that; if I don't give a shit about the characters or the story, then I don't give a shit about the action. Why should I? Am I going to be on the edge of my seat as Sam and talking sex doll are clinging to the side of a building perilously close to death when A) I know they are not going to be hurt anyway, and B) even if they were I wouldn't care. Sure it's technically

'Extra's' Exclusive Interview with Bon Jovi: Part 2 Posted: 30 Jun 2011 11:12 AM PDT As his "Circle" tour is underway in Europe, rocker Jon Bon Jovi opened up to special correspondent Laura Whitmore in part two of "Extra's" exclusive interview. Bon Jovi is a rock God on the road, performing for about 3.6 million fans, but at home, he's just a dad. In differentiating between the two very different roles, the singer said, "I remember a quote that actually Bono said. He said, 'After the tours are over I stay in a hotel for a week to come down from that thing before I can walk into the kitchen and not expect the kids to applaud.'" Check Out "Extra's" Exclusive Part 1 Interview with Bon Jovi! When the father of four does have some down time at home, he spends it with his family. Bon Jovi said his kids convinced him to play Rock Band with them... and of course he sang one of his own songs! He recalled, "Took the microphone, sang sitting down and... I failed. I go, 'Oh really?' and I stood up and looked at the TV and I said, 'Let's go again!' Failed again. So I said, 'Everyone goes to bed - turn this silliness off!'" The megastar and philanthropist spoke of his charity work as part of President Obama's Council on Community Solutions, which aims to tackle poverty and homelessness. "Over the years we've built 260 houses," Jon revealed. "I've been traveling around the country for 16 months, putting together a report, to both deal with the unemployment issue as well as the homelessness issue and feeding people, because the truth is, there's a lot of hard-working middle class people who are having a hard time making ends meet these days." The generous rocker added, "Life is more than about singing and playing."

John Digweed's New Mix Will Have You 'Mashing Your Head into the Ground' Posted: 30 Jun 2011 02:15 PM PDT Filed under: News, Exclusive, New Releases Ben Hider, Getty Images After more than two decades as a DJ and 12 years as the label manager of Bedrock Records, it can said that John Digweed is a constant over-achiever. He's persistently pushing himself, and crowds, with his signature progressive house and techno sound, which you can check out on the latest release, 'John Digweed: Structures 2.' "There's always going to be challenges," Digweed tells Spinner. "Once you become successful, you're in the spotlight, and then they expect more. As a DJ, I've always wanted to give 110 percent because that's my nature. The reason I'm still here is because I have that mindset of giving it all; I want to play the best new music that I've got."

Toddlers & Tiaras' Pageant Director to Critics: Don't Be Ugly Posted: 30 Jun 2011 10:57 AM PDT No show provokes a gut reaction like Toddlers & Tiaras (Wednesdays, 10/9c, TLC). Those who aren't entranced by the very specific, extremely odd cultural world of child beauty pageants tend to wring their hands and decry the behavior on display as despicable or abusive. Reality TV has a way of bringing out the armchair psychologists, but to tackle the issues the show brings up, we thought we'd talk to an expert on the side of the pageants: Annette Hill runs the circuit Universal Royalty Beauty Pageants that the show frequently profiles. She is outspoken, passionate and more than a little defensive over criticism. Still, she runs her business like an open book, having incorporated TV coverage from the start and keeping her pageants open to the public. (In the interest of providing full disclosure, she also invited me down to their nationals pageant in November. Should the invitation stand come pageant time, I will absolutely take her up on it.) Below, we hit Hill with just about every critique we could think of: the idea that pageants sexualize children, the toll pageants could take on the competitors' psyches, the unease that seeing a child in full makeup can provoke, the curse of the stage parent. Gamely, she tackles the ire head on... Read More > Other Links From TVGuide.com Toddlers & Tiaras

Michael Stipe Helps Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody Overcome Writer's Block Posted: 30 Jun 2011 01:30 PM PDT Filed under: News, New Music David Cheskin, PA / Donna Ward, ABACA/PA Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody has acknowledged the contribution made by Michael Stipe on the writing of the band's new album. As previously reported by AOL Music UK, work on the new Snow Patrol album had faltered when Lightbody suffered an extended bout of writer's block. Now however, with a little help from Stipe, the Irishman is back on track. Speaking to Q magazine (via Contactmusic), Lightbody explained how a chance meeting with R.E.M.'s singer at a Californian studio rejuvenated his writing process. He said, "I couldn't even write my name on a cheque. It was that bad at the time ... (Stipe arriving at the studio) was amazing because the first song I ever played live was R.E.M.'s 'Find the River' at a school concert."
