December 16, 2014Posted in entertainmentTagged lol, moviesLeave a comment

Blooper reels are probably the greatest moments from the making of a movie that you can watch and appreciate later on.

7 Reasons Why You Should Definitely Watch ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1’

December 16, 2014Posted in entertainmentTagged moviesLeave a comment

There is something about the post-apocalyptic era that is hauntingly beautiful. And The Hunger Games movies have precisely got that part perfectly. And in the latest installment called ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1’, the makers have maintained a similar parity in the movies. Although the book is a trilogy, the makers of the movie made it into a four-part extravaganza. Let’s see what the movie packs in which is enough to tinkle the curiosity amongst sci-fi fans.

1. Jennifer Lawrence

Reasons Why You Should Definitely Watch 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1'

Jennifer Lawrence is reason enough to make you watch this movie. Jennifer plays Katniss Everdeen who is the main protagonist of the series. Katniss as a person is assertive and straightforward. She knows what she wants and is an exceptional survivalist. And who could have played this character better other than Jen Lawrence? Jennifer is an actress who is a combination of the innocence of a child and possesses a killer instinct.

2. Liam Hemsworth

If there was an award for being the Lord of ‘friendzone’ then it would surely be presented to Liam Hemsworth’s character Gale Hawthrone. From the first movie, Gale is looking for love from Katniss and has always been there for her. But since Katniss always has her priorities in place, Gale has to wait for Katniss. What happens in the end? Does Gale ever come out of the friendzone? Don’t take your girlfriend along for this movie, because she might forget about you seeing Liam.

3. Natalie Dormer

Game Of Thrones’ important cog Margaery Tyrell, played by Natalie Dormer, will also be seen in this movie. Natalie portrays the role of Cressida who is the first person to help Katniss in the revolution.

4. Philip Seymour Hoffman

No one can forget the tragic news of Philip’s death earlier this year. But with this movie, Seymour can be seen second last time reprising his role of Plutarch Heavensbee. Part 2 of Mockingjay will release exactly a year later. Seymour fans will surely not afford to miss this one as well as the next one.

5. District 13

Originally the books and the movie tell you that District 13 was destroyed by the Capitol during the first rebellion. However, the district is actually fully operational but underground. The district was known for its nuclear production and now it is perfect place to accommodate the rebels and attack the Capitol. It is also the place where Katniss meets her mother and sister.

6. The Rebels

The rebels will include a bunch of good guys from Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour), Haymitch Abernathy, (Woody Harrelson), Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and her family. The president of the rebels is Alma Coin played by Julianne Moore. And it will be interesting to see how the rebels battle against the Capitol in the second rebellion.

7. Another Hunger Games?

How about a Hunger Games which will include children of high ranking officials from Capitol? After the rebels have invaded the Capitol, President Alma Coin (played by Julianne Moore) issues an order for the last hunger games. Will it happen or will it not? You will have to catch this movie to know that.

25 Mind-Boggling Facts About Your Favorite Hollywood Movies

December 16, 2014Posted in entertainmentTagged moviesLeave a comment

From ‘Inception’ to ‘Fight Club’ to ‘Die Hard’, all movies have some secret message hidden in them. Believe it or not, there are some mind-boggling facts about some of the Hollywood movies that needed to be said straight away. Inspired from this Quora post, here are 25 amazing and bizarre facts from some of the famous Hollywood movies.

1. When James Cameron re-released the 3D version of ‘Titanic’ in 2012, he made a minor fix to the film. When he was asked about this scene revision, he was quoted as saying “Oh, there is one shot that I fixed. It’s because Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is one of the US’ leading astronomers, sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at that time of year, in that position in the Atlantic in 1912, when Rose is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen, and with my reputation as a perfectionist, I should have known that and I should have put the right star field in. So I said, ‘All right, you son of a bitch, send me the right stars for the exact time, 4:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, and I’ll put it in the movie.’ So that’s the one shot that has been changed.”

2. The character Nemo from ‘Finding Nemo’ appeared in the movie ‘Monster’s Inc.’, two years before ‘Finding Nemo’ was released.

3. Jemmy Renner was trained by the Olympic archers for his role as the agent Clint Barton in the movie “The Avengers”.

4. Marla Singer from ‘Fight Club’ and Teddy aka John Gammel from ‘Memento’ have the same phone number.

5. ‘Inception’ drops a lot of hints that the entire movie may be a dream. The hotel room where Mal and Cobb spend their anniversary has the number 3502. All this could mean that the entire movie may be Cobb’s dream. He’s seeing the same set of numbers again and again.

6. Edith Piaf’s song “Non, je ne regrette rien” – which is featured heavily in the movie ‘Inception’, has a duration of 2 minutes and 28 seconds. Inception has a runtime of 2 hours and 28 minutes – a deliberate reference. In fact, the song plays a very significant role in the movie.

7. ‘The Dark Knight’ was the first Batman movie not to have “Batman” in its title.

8. At the beginning of the movie ‘Fight Club’, after the traditional copyright warning, there is a second warning that flashes for a second.

9. All the clocks in the movie ‘Pulp Fiction’ are stuck on 4:20.

10. Morgan Freeman’s line, “Maybe it’s ’cause I’m an Irishman” in the classic ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ was not written to be a joke. In Stephen King’s novella, the character ‘Red’ is actually Irish.

11. The funny creature in the movie ‘Ice Age’ is a ‘scrat’ which has combined characteristics of a squirrel as well a rat. The voice of the ‘scrat’ in the movie is that of Chris Wedge, who is also the director of the movie.

12. ‘The Schindiler’s List’ is the most expensive Black and White film made till date. The budget of the movie was around 22 million dollar.

13. In ‘Terminator 2’, Arnold Schwarzenegger only spoke about 700 words and for that he was paid $15 Million. So the iconic dialogue “Hasta La Vista Baby” cost around $85,000.

14. The man shown at the end of the movie ‘The Pursuit Of Happyness’ is Chris Gardner on whom the story is based.

15. In ‘Iron Man’ (2008), as Tony Stark is removing his suit you’ll notice a workbench in the left-hand side of the frame upon which lies what appears to be a prototype version of Captain America’s shield!

16. This is why ‘The Dark Knight’ was pure genius and defines modern day classism. In the movie where Joker asks Harvey Dent to kill him or join his rank, he actually places his finger such that even if Dent had pulled the trigger hammer would not work. Dent never had any option other than joining his rank. This shows the brilliance of joker who once said during the movie “Do I really look like a guy with a plan?”

17. The 80s action movie ‘Die Hard’ was actually originated from the failed script of ‘Commando 2’.

18. Throughout the movie “Silence of the lambs”, Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins) never blinks!

19. Alfred Hitchcock has made a stunning 39 cameo appearances in his 52 major movies like appearing in photographs, crossing a building etc. This is a scene from 1963 movie ‘The Birds’.

20. The movie ‘Titanic’ (1997) cost more to make than the actual ship (Titanic) that sank. The movie cost $200 million. The actual costs to construct the ship from 1910 to 1912 were $7.5 million. Adjusted for inflation, that would be around $116 million in 1997 (assuming a 3.2 per cent consumer price index annual increase).

21. In this scene at restaurant in the movie ‘The Dark Knight’, the man on the right is Heath Ledger.

22. Shirley Henderson, the girl who played Moaning Myrtle (the ghost in the bathroom) was actually 37 years old when she played the character in the Harry Potter series.

23. In the movie ‘Django Unchained’, the whole crew was shocked when DiCaprio broke that glass bowl with his hands, causing his hands to bleed. That was not a part of the script. Even this didn’t get him an Oscar, and who knows what will!

24. Number of ‘f*ck’ or ‘f*ck’ derivative words used in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ (2013 movie) is 569. It comes out to be approximately Pi (3.14) number of f*cks per minute.

25. ‘Casino Royale’ was the first ever Bond Movie to be approved of Chinese censors. Also in one of the car roll scenes 3 “Aston Martin DBS” cars of $3,000,000 were destroyed.
