Staples Easy 3D is set to launch in the Netherlands and Belgium in .......

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

"The seemingly obvious touchstones here are the films of Ben Affleck, particularly The Town. But though Killing Them Softly treads the same contemporary streets of south Boston (actually New Orleans) as The Town, Affleck's film was a story of modern criminals -- but the soul of Dominik's film is the 1974 novel of the late George V. Higgins, Cogan's Trade, on which it is based."

Twilight's Breaking Dawn-Part 2 : The Best Anti-War Movie of 2012 - OpEdNews

Twilight's Breaking Dawn-Part 2 : The Best Anti-War Movie of 2012 - OpEdNews | Machinimania | Scoop.it
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2 should be required viewing for all government officials, particularly Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu.

It establishes that the only way to win a war is not to fight it in the first place. Even the winners lose when wars are fought.

This concluding chapter of the Twilight Saga may remind some of Mathew Broderick's 1983 movie, Wargames. Who could forget the NORAD computer running through all possible scenarios of the game of "Global Thermalnuclear War" with the Soviet Union and then announcing that, " the only winning move is NOT TO PLAY?" This movie teaches a similar lesson.

Immersed in Movies: Talking 'Argo' with Cinematographer Prieto

Immersed in Movies: Talking 'Argo' with Cinematographer Prieto | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Rodrigo Pietro calls (Immersed in Movies: Talking 'Argo' with Cinematographer Pietro http://t.co/nOHV3a2N...)...

 

"Rodrigo Prieto calls "Argo" a "visual tapestry." That's because the bizarre fact-based espionage thriller and best picture Oscar front runner required the cinematographer to craftily piece together various looks to pull off the creative hodgepodge of styles, genres, and locales.

But given that "Argo" is about a covert CIA mission to rescue six Americans trapped in Iran after the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy (posing as a Hollywood crew, no less), Prieto's method was almost as wacky as the goings-on in Ben Affleck's movie. It wasn't just life imitating art: it was art imitating life imitating art."
