Super 8 (2011)



It’s the summer of 1979 in Lillian, Ohio. A group of middle school friends have been working together on a project to enter into a local Film Festival contest. Joseph Lamb (Joel Courtney) and his father Deputy Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler) are still recovering from the tragic death of Joe’s mother in the town’s steel mill four months ago. Jackson has decided to send Joe away to a Baseball Camp for the summer but Joe insists he needs to stay and help his best friend Charles Kanyk (Riley Griffiths) complete his project. Charles is trying to produce an unbeatable zombie movie but he’s been having troubles coming up with a storyline and his biggest concern is having to compete against older kids with more experience and better resources. Never the less, Charles has added a new character, Alice Dainard (Elle Fanning) will be playing their hero’s wife. Now they have a zombie, a hero and with a new wife they’ll have the makings for an incredible storyline too. Alice has agreed to drive the crew over to the train station for a midnight sneak-out filming of some new scenes, and while the camera was rolling they all witnessed a horrifying train derailment purposely caused by a crazed truck driver. Panic sunk in when they realized the truck driver was one of their school teachers and that he had miraculously survived the crash, but he pointed a gun and scared them away by saying that they and their parents would be killed if anyone knew they were there. Suddenly, the US Air Force approached the scene, they ran to the car and Alice sped them all back to town where they made a pact to never repeat what they’d seen. But this was to be just the very beginning in a slew of strange events in their town’s near destruction and a summer that no one would ever believe or forget.

Facebook - The Titanic Version

Ok. To cut a long story short, Zuckerberg, the "mastermind" behind the economics of Facebook, decided it was time to ban any share on either your wall or timeline, since it wasn't paid for. You'd be ruled out either because your "favicon", aka the icon that appears on your adress bar when you access your own site or blog, or the content of your site, which is no way subject to copyright infringement, unless you are so idiot as to post on your own site full copies of some movies. Yep, Zuckerberg is the one on the left.
Then again, you can wipe out the grin on his face by reinstalling "facebook timeline remover". Just go to "www.timelineremove.com" and reinstall the add-on. 

Otherwise, I'm gonna post it on Facebook, see if it works.

P.S. Much to my surprise, they DID let me share this particular post on Facebook, hehe...

Brake (2012)



Could you imagine having such a powerful secret that it could save the life of someone you love? But, by telling that secret, you would be causing the death of many other innocent people and possibly even destroy the whole world around you. Well, that's what this story is about.

A man wakes up and realizes he’s trapped in some kind of plastic box with only the bright red glow of a digital clock to cut the darkness. Right away he calms down as he begins to suspect that this is just an attempt to collect on an overdue gambling debt; see, this man, Jeremy Reins (Stephen Dorff) has a bad habit and apparently he owes a lot of money to a loan shark named Morgan. While trying to find a weak spot in this tightfitting coffin, he begins to hear the panicked voice of another man, Henry Shaw (JR Bourne); who’s also trapped in the same kind of box, close by. But Jeremy’s comfort quickly fades away because Henry doesn’t know Morgan and he isn’t just another gambler with a huge debt.

Their boxes begin to move and they realize they’re actually trapped in the trunks of 2 separate cars; the cars stop and someone slips a note into Jeremy’s box. It’s a postcard of The White House and on the back is a message that reads: GIVE US THE LOCATION OF ROULETTE.

Suddenly everything changes and the situation becomes dire! Turns out they’ve been kidnapped by terrorist who plan to attack the United States of America. Henry is a Foreign Service officer working for the state department and Jeremy is a special agent with the Secret Service. Although both men have been sworn under oath to serve and protect; Jeremy is the only one that actually knows the exact location of the president’s underground bunker. Now Jeremy knows that he can’t talk about anything that involves the government and there are not a lot of people that he can trust. But they already have Henry, his wife and their children, and soon they’ll also have Jeremy’s wife Molly (Chyler Leigh) along with several other government officials, and no one is safe; the terrorists are threatening to kill everyone if he doesn’t give up that information. Still, despite risking the lives of strangers, friends and loved ones, Jeremy clings to his oath by refusing to divulge the top-secret location. He gets his hands on a cell phone and finally manages to reach a trusted friend, Ben Reynolds (Tom Berenger). But as time runs out and no matter how well he’s able to keep his secret; Jeremy is about to learn that, nothing, is what it seems to be!
