Iron Man The Movie May 2008

Posted by Spencer On January - 30 - 2008

Introduction to the movie

Iron man the movie is out for us to see this year, Iron man being one of the many great marvel heroes (and my favorite one) is going to be a must see for lots of people of all ages at the cinema in may. Iron man is suppose to be released on the 2nd of May. You’ve probably seen other movies that are based apon other marvel super heroes such as Spiderman, which i feel have been a good series of movies on a whole. It looks as if as though this movie iron man will be taken at a more serious style approach some how.

The main story or plot line

iron man in flight

When Tony Stark is forced to create a life support suit to keep him alive after an accident he decides to use the technology in his suit to fight crime.

‘I am Iron Man’

Dialog speaking to reporter in the iron man trailer:

News Reporter: “Mr stark, you’ve been called the divinche of our time what do you say to that?”

Mr Stark / Iron Man: “Absolutley Ridiculous, I don’t paint”

News Reporter: “What do you say to your other nickname?… ‘Merchant of death’”

Mr Stark / Iron Man: “That’s not bad.”

( All this was said whilst keeping a straight face )

You can get a taste of the humor that the main character Iron man / Tony Stark has once you have seen the trailer, and it generally looks like a movie well worth going to see.

The Movie Effects

What looks good?
The story could be a downfall i wouldn’t know just yet, but it doesn’t look like its going to be much of a problem by the looks of the plot outline and its obviously not got a imdb rating just yet over at The Internet Movie Database, but we’ll have to see it soon. So my expectations are pretty high. The CGI looks great and not just that but effects that don’t use CGI are implemented just as well, like some explosions.

Acting, Actors and Actresses

Robert Downey Jr iron man explosion 1

The actor Robert Downey Jr is playing the main role of Iron Man as Tony Stark. He seems fit for the position and looks like he will do a good job on the whole of the movie. Robert Downey Jr has also starred in the movies, Lucky You, Zodiac, and A Scanner Darkly (although I did not really enjoy the Cartoonized movie starring Robert Downey Jr ), you may also notice some other actors or actresses that you have seen before in other movies, like Gwyneth Paltrow that starred in the movie Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Iron Man Trailer

I’d recommend first watching the trailer if you have not already.
Oh and also Check out the site www.IronManMovie.com, and watch the high definition trailer.

I will be going to watch this at the cinema i also recommend you highlight the date May the 2nd on your Calendar Cool!

Apple Macbook Air review

Posted by James On January - 28 - 2008

The worlds thinnest notebook.

Apple Macbook Air

Apple have now brought out the thinnest notebook in the world!

The Macbook Air.

This amazing macbook is under 1 inch in thickness and weighs in at 3.0 pounds. This is the most portable macbook / laptop that has every hit the shops and if you are thinking of getting one then it would not be a mistake.

This ultrathin Apple notebook has a 13.3 inch widescreen which is LED backlit and has the same viewbale size screen as any other Macbook. This high resolution screen can give you 1280 by 800 resolution which gives even the lowest quality images an impressive look.

The Apple Macbook Air has all the benefits of high definition but in a very slim design.

Apple have given the Macbook Air the same keyboard as the standard Macbooks have but have added there own little twist to give you that little extra. Every key on the Apple Macbook Air has backlit illumination which makes it much easier to work in an area they does not contain a great amount of light such as meeting halls and taxis.

Not only does the Macbook Air have backlit keys they each have there own light sensor which automatically adjusts the keyboard to display the correct brightness for the best possible visibility.

Apple Macbook Air Keyboard

Macbook Air has an oversized touch pad which has multi touch technology. This allows you to rotate, zoom, swipe or even pinch text or images for adjustments. This is the same input as the iTouch and iPhone.

On the side of the Apple Macbook Air there is a flip down hatch to reveal all the ports you will including USB 2.0, headphone jack and a small DVI port which supports DVI, Composite, VGA and S-video outputs.

Macbook Air contains 2 gb of RAM and an impressive 80gb hard drive which allows lots of storage space.

Apple have included a built in iSight camera which is so small you can hardly see it. This allows you to chat online to anyone else in the world wherever you are. Very handy.

You will have a full wireless lifestyle with the Apple Macbook Air.

The Macbook Air comes with a 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR built in.

I hope my review for the new Apple Macbook Air has answered some of your questions.

Thanks for looking (”,)
