We already know that, the posters for the movie ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The secret of the Unicorn’ has been officially unveiled. Now it’s time for another exciting news. The first official trailer has been released at the iTunes Movie Trailer site! Watch Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Thomson and Thompson in action in the following trailer!
Spielberg and Tintin – what a combination! And this time they both are back! I am waiting …
I was waiting for a l-o-n-g time for the first poster of the ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The secret of the Unicorn’. And the wait is finally over! The first two official posters for the Peter Jackson/Steven Spielberg production of the Tintin movie has been unveiled. The script for the movie is actually based on three Tintin comics: ‘The Crab with the Golden Claws‘, ‘The Secret of the Unicorn‘ and it’s sequel ‘Red Rackham’s Treasure‘.
The movie is slated for a December 23th release in the USA. But the European release is set to take place in October/November, earlier than USA! Nevertheless, being a Tintin fan for a long long time, I can’t wait to watch the movie! By the way, following is the official posters of the movie (click the images to enlarge).

Just watched the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) couple of hours ago in the theater! I have been waiting for this movie since I’ve heard that the last book of Harry Potter is going to be split in to two parts for the movie. To be frankly, the fast story rolling of the Goblet of Fire, the Order of Phoenix and the Half Blood Prince slightly disappointed me. Those movies did not portrait the full story of the respective books, merely they were the highlights of the story books. So when I came to know that, they are going to split the last movie to keep the flavor of the story intact, I was really thrilled. I could not wait to watch the movie!
Story:
For not to spoil the viewers experience, I am not going to reveal the actual story, rather I am giving an overall idea of the story. This is the First part of the Seventh book of Harry Potter series. As the continuation of the last movie (Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince), Dumbledore is dead and Harry Potter is still the Chosen One, upon whom the followers of Dumbledore still keep the faith. He leaves the Privet Drive. He decided to search the remaining Horcruxes and destroyed them. Along with Harry, his two best friends Ron and Hermione have decided not to go back to Hogwarts this year. Instead they involved in a secret mission of destroying the Horcruxes. But that secret mission became the journey of a lifetime, where they found their goal of life, re-discovered themselves as well as their friendship, lost some of their dearest friends, overcome their innermost fears, and unrevealed mysteries of pasts.
The Review:
As I mentioned earlier, to keep the original flavor of the book this movie is split into two parts. And they did not disappoint me. David Yates really did an amazing job. Not only him but also Daniel, Rupert and Emma delivered quite a good acting. The first thing about this is, it’s not a children movie anymore. Harry, Ron and Hermione were no more that kid wizard. They have grown up. They are more matured now. The maturity is clear. Almost the whole movie is about these three bosom friends, other characters do not have that much significant appearance. But that really does not matter, because one can hardly feel the absence of other characters. Moreover, this time, the director tried really hard not to speed up the story, rather he took it slowly and steadily. Which in fact, was a good move. Also there are some minor changes from the main story. The action sequence was really good, especially the ambush scene when Hagrid flew Harry away to the Burrow from the Private Drive. Also the part of depicting the Tale of the Deathly Hallows with a nice animation is really a superb touch.
But still there are some shortages (or flaws perhaps). Such as Hogwarts’ takeover or Harry missing and thinking about Ginny have been totally ignored, though there is a small scene of Hogwarts Express and a glimpse on Neville was there. Also the part of Ollivander and Gregorovitch are hard to understand for someone who hasn’t read the book. There is one intense sensual moment, which I do not think as a necessary elements. And while the Tale of the Deathly Hallows have been told, the fact that Harry owns the invisible cloak was ignored somehow! The whole movie is gloomy and dark, has scene of more blood comparing to the previous parts and little bit horror too. (It is rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality.)
Apart from that, the director portrayed love, friendship, jealousy, loyalty, loneliness wonderfully. The first part of the Finale of Harry Potter is an stunning adventurous story with lots of clues to solve. To be precisely, it is the introduction of the Finale. And it can be easily assumed that a lot of things are coming in the next part. But the main feature of this movie is, one can not be bored while watching the film. At the end, this movie makes the viewers to wait eagerly for the next part, whether he/she knows the story or not.
In Conclusion, the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has put away the childish things of the previous movies and become a not-a-kid-movie-anymore. But that does not disappoint me. This movie is for them, who passed their childhood reading the Harry Potter books and grew old with Harry, Ron and Hermione. It’s really wonderful to find out that the kid wizards are no longer kids, they have grown up just like the readers. This movie leaves me excitedly to anticipate the final installment. And to be frankly, this is a great movie for not only Potter fans, but all movie addicts as well. Overall, it is a worth watching movie (of course!).
It is a short film, which is made on cinema itself! The creators of the film chose 35 of their favorite movies and represented them with their unique symbols, themes and music in this two minutes film. Which means 35 films within one movie! I have watched almost 25 movies out of those 35 movies, but I could not figure more than 7 movies, even after watching the film for several times!
Check out the film. And try to find out as much movie as you can! It is fun!! Even if you are not interesting to finding out the movies, just watch the film, it is really wonderful and worth watching!
I am neither a big fan nor a regular watcher of Hindi movies. Don’t think I am underestimating the Hindi movies. Actual reason is I don’t understand Hindi well (except some words those are similar to Bangla). So without subtitles, I don’t used to watch Hindi movies. That’s the reason why I am an occasional viewer of Hindi movies. Recently I watched the movie Taare Zameen Par directed by Aamir Khan two days ago. If I want to define the movie in one single line I’ve to say “it is one of the very touching movies I’ve ever seen”.
The story of this movie is about a dyslexic boy named Ishaan. Who hates school. Because of dyslexia, every subject is seemed to be difficult for him which leads him to fail in every subjects. His teachers and classmates subject him to constant acts of public humiliation rather than help him. It became worse when his parents send him to boarding school for being “excelled”. But life in boarding school did not make any change in his life as nobody there understood him. This changes however when a new temporary art teacher (Aamir Khan) joins Ishan’s boarding school. Then a wonderful story between a teacher and a student is portrayed in the movie. It is awesome to watch how a teacher can change a students life!
At the beginning of this post I used the word “touching” to demonstrate the genre of this movie. After watching the movie you can’t just hold your tear. You’ll feel a new of you in side yourself. Thanks to Aamir Khan for filming such a mervellous movie.
Recently I got a PDF copy of “Transformers 2” movie’s script in net. I don’t know whether it is real or fake. But it is sure entertaining. There are some touches of drafts and over pouring of ink for covert the identity, which make more confusion about the authentication. I got it from the site Transformer Live Action Movie Blog.
Unlike the cartoons, this script focuses on the transformers more than the humans. There are numerous transformers in both sides- Autobots and Decepticons. If it is the real story line, then it is obvious that TF2 is gonna be one of the most expensive Hollywood movie of all time. More over it has an unfinished story, which means of coming another part- TF3. The writer of this script (whether it is real or fake) should be thanked for such a colorful story line.
Don Murphy, the producer of the movie, has some comments in his here. This scripts may be or may not be an authentic one.
Last week, January 10, 2008 was the 78th birthday of Tintin, the all time great comic hero. The masterpiece revealed the adventures of Tintin in 1929 this day. Tintin was so popular in fact that more than three million books of Tintin‘s escapades are sold each year, in 58 languages. But to say the truth, you’ve not experience the real TINTIN until you’ve read it. Although the character is Belgian he is highly regarded in France. Once the late French President Charles De Gaulle had said, “… deep down, my only international rival is Tintin!“.
The first Tintin book I’ve read was Tintin in Tibet (Bangla translation) 14 years ago. And even today I feel the same excitement to read the series (again n’ again). What is lack there? Actually nothing! Tintin, with his famous spikes (tuft) of blond hair, continually battled evil with the help of his dog Snowy and the drunken Captain Haddock accompanied by the muddled genius Professor Calculus and the Thompson Twins.
The good news is that according to industry reports, Steven Spielberg and The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson are to bring Tintin to the big screen. Movie publication Variety reports that, Spielberg and Jackson are teaming to direct and produce three back-to-back features based on Georges Remi’s beloved Belgian comic-strip hero Tintin for DreamWorks. Movie will be produced in full digital 3-D using performance capture technology. Jackson’s special effects team Weta Digital has already produced a 20-minute test reel showing how the finished films might look.
