There is something fascinating about learning the life of well-known people through biographical films. Some of them inspire, makes us realize, thugs your heart strings, and many more. Then there are those like The Iceman, which is a biopic of a notorious killer.

Although anyone can easily Google or Wikipedia the life of Richard Kuklinski, the Iceman, there is still something special about this film. Well, maybe because I am one of those guys whose into Showtime's Dexter television series, or someone who's generally curious about how did the Iceman lived a double life of a loving family man and a ruthless hired killer at the same time. Well don't get me wrong, I condone the act of murder or any criminal act that disregard human rights, but there is something curious with themes like this. Call it a guilty pleasure. It gives us an idea of a life of someone that we never could be. Not to mention, the movie adaptation of the true story of the Iceman features a cast of great actors. This film is definitely on our must-watch list of 2012.

Branded feels familiar. Familiar in a sense that this could very well be what the working of advertisements are. Well, of course it is science fiction, but could very well be based on what might be. In our world run by corporations, the very products that makes our lives easier or gives us satisfaction can very well be enslaving us.

I think Branded has a very interesting concept. It reminded me of what Matrix was like. Of people being enslaved by an entity unbeknownst to them. A perfectly orchestrated system by corporations, until one man or group of individuals see through this twisted system. Well this film could also make you think of what the system is like nowadays. How sure are we that we are the ones in control and not being controlled with?

How about you guys, what do you think about this 2012 sci-fi film about advertisments controlling how we think? Share your thoughts about Branded's official movie trailer in the comments section below:

Just like the 1984 Red Dawn, the 2012 Red Dawn uses the same what-if scenario. That what if one of their country's considered worst enemy invades their much beloved nation. Well all hell breaks loose especially if you put a group of teenagers in it... say whuuuut?

There are a number of ways that can make a soldier out of anyone. Besides patriotism and nationalism, one powerful force is family. Red Dawn used all of those. A different generation calls for a different Red Dawn. This time its not the Russians, but the Asians... specifically North Koreans. I don't know what to feel about this idea of using real world nations depicting them as villains in films. Well, given that they might really be that vile or up to no good, I don't know if it is really appropriate to play on these sensitive themes. These kinds of films can stir up various emotions if it does what it is meant for. Red Dawn maybe considered a propaganda, a sick joke, a provocation, or purely just entertainment... it really depends. But anyways, if you are an action film fan or any of the cast included in the film, or curious about this 2012 remake of the 1984 Red Dawn. Then this might be worth the shot.

Thor: The Dark World News - Christopher Eccleston to Portray Malekith the Accursed

Christopher Eccleston is confirmed to play as Malekith the Accursed, ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, in upcoming 2013 Thor: The Dark World film. This is Super Hero Watch and let's get all the juicy details about the upcoming Thor: The Dark World sequel to 2010's Thor.

Thor: The Dark World News
Christopher Eccleston as Malekith the Accursed

Christopher Eccleston, an English actor best known for his role as the ninth incarnation of the Doctor in the British television series Doctor Who. He also appeared in various films like Shallow Grave, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Others, Jude, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. His latest major role is landing the role as Malekith the Accursed, ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim in the upcoming 2013 Marvel film Thor: The Dark World. Christopher Eccleston will join Thor: The Dark World (Thor 2) cast of Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Jaimie Alexander, and Rene Russo.

Since one of the upcoming Thor sequel's villain has been revealed, let's get to know the world of the Dark Elves and its ruler, Malekith:

The Dark Elves come from the world of Svartalfheim, one of the Nine Worlds of Norse Mythology.They are ruled over by Malekith the Accursed, and the most powerful amongst their ranks was Algrim the Strong. However, Algrim was betrayed by Malekith in a bid to kill Thor. Algrim was dropped into lava and, though he survived, he was critically wounded. The Beyonder transformed Algrim into the monstrous Kurse, who seemingly kills Malekith for the betrayal...

The trio of Bitterhand, Wormwood, and Grendell serve Malekith loyally and have attempted to destroy Thor on several occasions, including once while Mjolnir was being reforged.

Malekith struck an alliance with Loki on behalf of the fire demon Surtur. He took control of a number of Earth humans using special food of the faerie provided by Hela. Malekith then killed Eric Willis, guardian of the Casket of Ancient Winters, after learning its location.

As Master of the Hounds, Malekith hunted down Roger Willis, Eric's son and new guardian of the Casket. Malekith battled Thor, and kidnapped Lorelei. Using Lorelei as bait, Malekith forced Thor to battle Algrim the Strong, one of his Dark Elf followers, then attempted to destroy both combatants by plunging them into a pool of magma. He then captured the Casket of Ancient Winters from Roger Willis.

Malekith was ultimately defeated by Thor, but not before he destroyed the Casket of Ancient Winters, releasing magical frigid force all over the Earth. Malekith was then brought as a captive by Thor to Asgard. Malekith later disguised Loki as himself to take his place in the dungeon, while he disguised himself as Balder, who was about to be crowned ruler of Asgard. Kurse, the being formerly known as Algrim, saw through Malekith's disguise when he reached Asgard City. Kurse then broke Malekith's neck, apparently slaying him. Years later, Malekith was revealed to be alive once again.

Basing from those information we can now have a general idea of what to expect in Thor: The Dark World. If the 2013 Thor sequel does primary focus on Malekith as its villain, then it is safe to assume that he'll definitely have his loyal followers Bitterhand, Wormwood, and Grendell. Of course, the big screen adaptation will definitely be different from its source material adding elements that will hopefully lead up to the seemingly plausible The Avengers film sequel.

Paranormal Activity 4 Film Trailer Review

Get ready for another Paranormal Activity! Well this is not the first time that a horror film has dragged this long. Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, and Halloween are perfect examples of that. The question is will this be the final Paranormal Activity?

It seems not to be the case as this film seems to focus on the neighbors now. Uhm... is it me or this seems to be unnecessary. It seems like they are just milking the franchise now, well that has been mostly the observations for movies that have a max of two sequels, but Paranormal Activity 4 is obviously doing that. Rather than continue and tell the story of what may have happened to the sisters and the child in the first three films, the film goes to the neighbors house to share their horror. Well, we don't have anything yet to work with, but let's just hope that this new family will have some solid connection and is pivotal to this started to drag out horror film franchise.

Agent 007 is dead. Really? Do you seriously believe that we would believe that? He should have died ages ago, but he is still here amidst all of the impossibilities of the mission (and the women) he has been assigned to. This time the story revolves around Bond's presumed dead after a failed mission which later compromised the whole MI6. Then we have Bond to rely again to hunt down the mastermind(s) behind it.

This 2012 we have another round of Daniel Craig as Agent 007's high octane action, cool gadgets, hot women, betrayal and conspiracies. There is nothing left to say, the trailer speaks for itself. Those who grew up with 007 and likes action will have no problem or have second thoughts with Skyfall.
