Film News: Eminem Signs up for Boxing Movie

Posted by admin Comments off

As he proved in his last film role in 8 Mile, hip-hop megastar Eminem isn’t afraid of confrontation – but his second appearance on the silver screen is set to take it up a gear.

While he excelled during rap battles in the 2002 film, his new role in boxing drama Southpaw is set to see him put his dukes up in the ring as a welterweight fighter.

According to film news source Deadline, the DreamWorks picture will be written by Kurt Sutter, known for his work on TV series Sons of Anarchy.

The film is set to tell the story of a boxer’s climb to the top and fall from grace when tragedy strikes.

After being impressed by Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers III – in 8 Mile, Sutter sought to get the music star involved in another film project.

However, the rapper proved to be “very selective” about the projects he’d consider away from the music world – until Southpaw was put on the table.

Sutter revealed that Mathers is already a big boxing fan and the pair agreed that it could provide an apt metaphor for his own struggles in life. He added that the movie will in some ways be a “continuation” of the story in 8 Mile, although there is no suggestion it will feature the same characters or setting.

“I love that the title refers to Marshall being a lefty, which is to boxing what a white rapper is to hip hop – dangerous, unwanted and completely unorthodox,” Sutter told the news source. “It’s a much harder road for a southpaw than a right handed boxer.”

However, don’t hold your breath for film trailers for the flick any time soon – Sutter isn’t expecting to submit a draft of the script until February 2011. As and when the project comes to fruition, it will join a long and celebrated lineage of boxing movies which have delighted movie fans and film review writers for decades.

Even the most casual film fan will have seen at least one of the Rocky films, but the likes of 2004′s Oscar-winning Million Dollar Baby and Will Smith’s portrayal of Cassius Clay in Ali are also popular among fans of the sport. Then of course, there’s the classics such as The Harder They Fall and The Set-Up – must-sees for anyone who loves seeing the thrill of the fight up on the silver screen.

Andrew Joyce is avid fan of all films and loves to keep up to date on the latest film news, to write film reviews and to share his thoughts with other die hard film fans.

Battery Plugged in not charging and not detected solution

Posted by admin Comments off

I have a Dell XPS M1330  laptop, and when i have the battery charger plugged in, the battery icon says “10% available (plugged in, not charging)”, and if i pull out the cord, the laptop shuts down straight away. Can this be fixed, and if so, how? I bought this laptop new around 6 months ago. The detail info below:

The Battery didn’t charge or detect being plugged in also caused by four reasons:

1. The Dell XPS M2010 Battery failed
2. The Adapter failed (can not charge the battery)
3. The motherboard charging electric circuit failed (many caused by short damage). You can view more info here: Dell Motherboard Problem
4. The laptop bios is too old to recognize the battery

After I checked my battery and adapter and confirm they are good. Then I try to repair it by myself. My Vostro 1310 Battery was fixed by myself.

The first solution :I search in the google: Repairman from another site suggested that while the computer is on and plugged in, to unplug the adapter and then plug it back in again. To check the computer can started charging.

So I remove the laptop battery from the laptop and left the AC cord connected, booting it up on the power cord alone until I was able to boot into Windows 7, at which point I then put the Dell XPS M1730 Battery back into the computer while it was still on.

This worked and while a tad unsafe for most people, I wouldn’t recommend you use this idea unless you absolutely had to, that is, if there was no other choice.

The Second Solution: You can download the newest BIOS from dell.com and then flash the bios. But I do not want to update Bios, So I use another way to make the Power manager system to recognize my XPS M1530 Battery.

I open up my laptop Device Manager (usually a right click on your Computer/My Computer) and remove all Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery related devices from the Device Manager. Then after you’ve done that, right click again and select “Scan for Changes”, which should reinstall the proper services and allow for your laptop to charge again. See the more info in the image below.

If this also can not solve the problem, I suggest you send the laptop to Dell to repair the Laptop motherboard.(Dell Vostro 1710 Battery)

The Battery didn’t charge or detect being plugged in also caused by four reasons:

The Shortcuts of Blogging Reviewing Tumblr The 2010 Internet Sensation

Posted by admin Comments off

December 5, 2010 will be the date that people craved on their head (or maybe heart) as the milestone of 2010. Yes, it is the damn date when Tumblr went down. The site has been down for 24 hours, the longest outage of this company’s history. People cursed. Tumblr has becomes a crush for more that 11 million people. The popularity has gained Tumblr a die-hard fans and loyal followers. Today, the internet next big thing already has more than 11,039,276 users and more than2,357,992,341 posts (per December 18, 2010).

Behind the curtains, meet the internet prodigy Mr. David Karp (http://davidslog.com). In 2007, while people hyped up with the needs of connecting with other people, Karp backed up a little step. He believes that blogging is still the ultimate weapon to approach people online. Amazed by the tumblelog (according to Wikipedia is a variation on traditional blogging that favors very short, mixed media posts with little or no commentary),Karp then launched Tumblr.

“Is Karp the only panelist drinking a beer? Respect.”

— Kristina Weise

Like any other internet wonder kid, Karp is a drop out. I dare say that Karp is the ultimate representation of internet geek nowadays. At 11, he read HTML for Dummies. At 12, he was homeschooling. At 14, he drops out school. At 21, he started Tumblr. At 22, he awarded Best Young Tech Entrepreneur 2009by Business Week. Now at 24, he’s still getting started. Then we called it awesome.

Ah so, let’s getting started to know about Tumblr! Tumblr is a microblogging platform that satisfies your need to go blogging in easiest way people could imagine. The tagline defines the website itself “The Easiest Way to Blog”. Starting from the registration process, you’ll be amazed by how fast the site redirects you to a new perspective of blogging.

As you can see, the only thing they need is the 3 basic forms, your e-mail, password, and the name of your blogs. It is like spelling A, B, C.

Tumblr then introduced you to their Dashboard. They categorized what people basically doing when they blog or they want to share something. Tumblr defines 7 distinct types of post. A text, a photo, a quote, a link, a conversation, an audio, and a video. You can easily choose which type of post you want to blog and considered it done, Tumblr has already made a custom display from each type of the posts. That’s what I called technology.

What makes Tumblr more fun is their ability of customization. While others blogging platform, like WordPress and Blogspot offers you beautiful gorgeous layout template that requires some PayPal to customize. Tumblr made it for free. You can choose a layout (they called it ‘Theme‘) and start to customize your blog peacefully, from background color to font size, from the text to the header. If you want to give some more money on board, you can choose some premium theme from Theme Garden and voila, is yours truly.

Many have said that Tumblr is for people who want to keep peace between Facebook and Twitter. Although I don’t want to agree to the statement, it’s becoming true each day. Like Twitter, Tumblr allows you to follow certain people you love. Singer, like Katy PerryHayley Williams and John Legend or starlet like Dianna Agron have made a pact to be loyal with Tumblr. An artist, a web designer, a fashion lover, you’ll find many have attracted to the gold Tumblr has offered. Like Facebook, Tumblr is addictive. The easy-to-use and easy-to-publish ability already helped many illiterate-HTML transformed themselves to techno whiz.

However, Tumblr is still a toddler. It’s still 3 years old now, it’s still growing teeth and learning to walk. Year ago, Tumblr still has cons about their commenting system. Back in the days, Tumblr has only 2 ways to show affections to others (besides ‘Follow’-ed them). The first one is the ‘Like’ button, the red heart shaped button does the same job like giving a ‘thumb’ on Facebook or ‘ijo-ijonya, Gan!’ on Kaskus.

The second one is the most popular used button on Tumblr. Drums roll, here comes the ‘Reblog’ button. Reblog has the same function as Re-Tweet, is a re-ish. A repetition, a doppelganger of a post. But like a doppelganger, they have extra. You can add an icing on a cake, a topping for an ice cream. Some busy people type : “True.”, “I heart it.” below the post. Some were serious, typing some lines of admiration. Both ways works cool enough, since the spirit of microblogging is to blog something in a short lines, or even short words.

But unlike Facebook, Tumblr needs certain steps to comment on your friends’ post.Disqus then came to rescue, you can add a commenting system by installing it on your theme. Now it’s being inconsistent, it’s not being easy anymore. Then, the staff brings out joy. They add the ‘Reply’ button so people can start typing a short comment after someone’s post. Now, they even add the ‘Ask Anything’ section so you can gather feedback from your reader.

Like TypePad, Tumblr is well known by its mobileability. You can start texting or e-mailing your post from any mobile phone. Don’t bother to ask but sure it now available in iPhone, Android and BlackBerry. For an even mobile person, Tumblr can make a record of your voice and make it an audio post by calling to a certain numbers. How awesome…~

For people who have serious urgency to post and keeping the audience attracted, Tumblr has a feature of ‘Queue‘. You can automatically publish your posts on a designated interval. It’s like you let Tumblr freed your posts’ wings and let them loose to fly.

There’s more awesomeness to write by starting a review about Tumblr. Now I already up to 1000 words and still counting. So, I’ll let the website speaks for itself or you can read a 30 reasons why you’ll love Tumblr.

The thing is, we should salute Mr. Karp for his idealistic of a web free advertisement. He believes to make a good website, you don’t need to sell your soul to devil. And if Mr. Karp wants to keep the idea alive, I think it will be best to start monetize Tumblr the way WordPress did.

For me, Tumblr is still my golden child, although I love the way Notepad keeps haunting me for its algorithms of CSS and HTML. But I have to admit that Tumblr made blogging comes back to its true from, the way blogging was meant to be.

Footnote:
How time flies. Back in the days, Tumblr still has a Tumblarity feature. It says how active you are on Tumblr, it’s like a measurement of how loyal you are with the site. But now, the Tumblarity was once a history. It’s now only a good memory about having a nice best friend that reminds you how many cans of Cola you’re already drink in one shot. (Prisanti Putri)

Eminem’s Not Afraid, Neither Should You Be!

Posted by admin Comments off

“I’m not afraid, to take a stand! Everybody, everybody come take my hand

We’ll walk this road together, through the starm, whatever weather cold or warm”

Those are the phenomenal lyrics to the new single entitled –Not Afraid- by Eminem. This music is just beyond belief, this is the type of music he is great at making. I found out about this song, believe it or not because of my kid sister. Apparently I haven’t been as plugged in as I should be, and for that I apologize to all of you my readers.

Eminem released the video for Not Afraid not too long ago, so I can’t comment personally on when I believe the album’s release date will be. But I honestly can not wait for it because Eminem has been a phenomenal knockout performer/musician for quite some time now. I believe he has made himself into being a music icon not only in the popular music scene but especially in the rap genre world. He is a fixture in music that we all have come to know, popularize, glamorize, and love. And just like Jay-Z, who I will also be writing an article about his music soon, but Eminem just like the great Jay-Z will probably never retire and continue to inspire and entertain us with their great music for years to come.

To me you can’t beat, now-a-days, Eminem or Jay-Z. They are just the two greats of our time right now!

There is no getting around it music fans. From what I’ve been able to scoop up around on the internet on Eminem is that his new album, when it does in fact release will be a heavy-weight contender for the number one album sales charts.

Because lets face it Eminem doesn’t just have fans he has a following! Eminem will be rocking and rapping on his new album with such duets as Pink and Rihanna. With Pink he’ll duet with her on the song “Wont Back Down”. If you ask me that’s going to be one amazing song with pink being the featured artist. Rihanna will sing, I’m sure, for Eminem on the track “Love You the Way You Lie”. I will be looking forward to hearing that song and how it plays out.

Overall I recommend that you purchase his album when it drops, and it will drop like an A-bomb on America. This has been another musically inspire review by yours truly, MatthewSE………….

About Bruno Mars

It’s better if you don’t understand; just listen and have a good time. That’s the response Bruno Mars will give you with a smile when asked to describe his sound and music. He would much rather sing, perform, and write his songs than talk about them, but that is becoming more and more unavoidable these days. It might seem that Mars appeared out of nowhere, co-writing, producing and performing on B.o.B’s #1 “Nothin’ On You” followed by Travie McCoy’s chart-climbing “Billionaire”, but he makes one thing clear: “It’s not an overnight success”.

Mars is a multitalented singer, songwriter, producer and musician who feels most at home when he’s performing. Born to a musical family in Honolulu, Hawaii, he was practically raised on the stage. His father, a Latin percussionist from Brooklyn, organized a Vegas-style revue that featured the entire family, including his mother, a talented vocalist.

When a four-year-old Mars observed his family performing Motown hits, doo-wop medleys and impersonations for enthusiastic crowds all over his native Waikiki Beach, “I was jealous!” says Mars with a laugh. “My dad put me on stage and I remember singing an Elvis song and that was it. Ever since that moment, I’ve been addicted.”
Rich in diverse music from all over the globe, Honolulu was an exciting hometown for the budding singer/songwriter. On one end of the spectrum, his home was filled with the 1950s classics that were his father’s passion. Meanwhile, the city is rich in traditional sounds, including reggae, rock and folk music, as well as the latest pop hits. “Hawaii is basically in the middle of the world, so you’re exposed to every type of music over there,” explains Mars.
As soon as he graduated high school, Mars left Hawaii for Los Angeles with dreams of launching his career as a performer. Those dreams got put on hold, however, when The Smeezingtons, the songwriting/production team he founded with Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine, suddenly took off. The pair has crafted major hits for a diverse roster of talent, including Flo Rida’s “Right Round”, Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire”, Brandy’s “Long Distance” and K’Naan’s “Waving Flags”, which is the theme song for the upcoming World Cup.
Mars describes his time behind the scenes as important to his development as an artist. “I realized that you have to go into this industry as an artist with a clear vision and understanding of who you are. Being so young when I was first signed, I never really had a sense of who I wanted to be. Now things are really working out because everything that I’m singing, writing and composing is really me.”
On the heels of “Nothin’ on You” and “Billionaire” and as a preview of what’s to come from Bruno Mars, Elektra Records is releasing a 4-song EP aptly titled “It’s Better If You Don’t Understand”. The title is taken from a lyric to “The Other Side”; one of the songs included that features Cee-Lo Green and re-teams Mars with B.o.B. The song depicts the musician’s current routine. “It’s basically a story of the lifestyle you end up living as an artist and how I would describe it to a girl I just met to try and explain, but in the end… It’s better if you don’t understand.”

When asked to describe the music he’s about to release Mars says “it’s hard to put myself in a box. I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There’s no tricks. It’s honesty with big melodies. And I’m going to be singing the s— out of them.” The collection of songs on the EP are written from various real-life experiences, where Mars blends his buoyant voice with purposefully simple production. All of the songs are produced and written with his Smeezingtons partner Philip Lawrence.

Although he’s incredibly proud of the recordings, Mars feels the best way to experience the sound is to see him perform live with his band. “That is what I’m most excited for – taking these songs and traveling them around the world.” The only place he would rather be than in the recording studio, is with his band on stage – where he grew up. “I think people are really going to gravitate towards the live show. We turn it into a party.”

Kings of Leon achieved initial success in the United Kingdom with nine Top 40 singles, two BRIT Awards in 2008, and all three of the band’s albums at the time peaking in the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Their third album Because of the Times also reached the number one spot. After the release of Only by the Night in 2008 they finally achieved chart success in their native United States. The singles Sex On Fire, Use Somebody and Notion peaked at number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks, while the album itself was their first ever platinum-selling album in the US.

5. Tadpole

Tadpole is a 2002 American romantic comedy film directed by Gary Winick and written by Heather McGowan and Niels Mueller. It stars Sigourney Weaver, Bebe Neuwirth, Aaron Stanford, John Ritter, Robert Iler, and Kate Mara.  The main character (Aaron Stanford) frequently breaks the fourth wall throughout the film. Oscar Grubman (Aaron Stanford), the fifteen year-old prodigal son of Columbia University history professor and author, Stanley Grubman (John Ritter), is taking the train home from the Chauncey Academy for Thanksgiving; he is seated with his good friend, Charlie (Robert Iler).

An attractive girl from his school, Miranda Spear (Kate Mara), approaches him seemingly with interest and asks him what he’s reading. Oscar politely brushes her off telling her that is a work by Voltaire, later explaining to his shocked chum, Charlie, that he is in love with another woman, and that he plans to win her heart this break. -Wikipedia.org

4. Hannah and Her Sisters

Hannah and Her Sisters is a 1986 American comedy-drama film which tells the intertwined stories of an extended family, told over two years that begin and end with a family Thanksgiving dinner. The movie was written and directed by Woody Allen, who stars along with Mia Farrow as Hannah, Michael Caine as her husband, and Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest as her sisters.  The film’s ensemble cast also includes Carrie Fisher, Maureen Stapleton, Lloyd Nolan, Max von Sydow, and Julie Kavner. Daniel Stern, Richard Jenkins, Fred Melamed, Lewis Black, Joanna Gleason, John Turturro, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus all have minor roles, as do Tony Roberts and Sam Waterston, who have uncredited cameo appearances.

Several of Farrow’s children, including a pre-adolescent Soon-Yi Previn, have credited and uncredited roles, mostly as Thanksgiving extras.  The film is Allen’s biggest box office hit, without adjusting for inflation, with a North American gross of US million. Adjusted for inflation it falls behind Annie Hall and Manhattan, and possibly also one or two of his early comedies. As of 2010, Hannah and Her Sisters was the last film to have won both Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and the first since Julia in 1977, nearly nine years before. -Wikipedia.org

Home Alone is primarily a coming-of-age story about an 8-year old boy, Kevin. He is the youngest of five and typically gets (as he puts it) “picked on”. The film opens to chaos in Kevin’s house, as he and his extended family (consisting of his parents, two brothers, two sisters, six cousins, uncle and aunt) prepare for a vacation to France for the Christmas holidays.

Kevin is aggrieved about having to sleep in the same bed as his younger cousin, Fuller (who is famous for wetting the bed), and about Buzz (his older brother) eating his only cheese pizza. He attacks Buzz in the kitchen, spilling drinks over the airplane tickets and passports. One of the tickets gets thrown out by mistake as everyone tries to clear up, and Kevin gets banished to the attic room by his irate mother. On the way up, he tells her he wishes his whole family would disappear. Kevin’s mom leaves him to sulk, and mentions she’ll find somewhere else for Fuller to sleep. -Wikipedia.org

Eminem’s Relapse Album Review

Posted by admin Comments off

When I first heard of Eminem’s songs way back my college days, I was totally enthralled with the melodious interpretation of his poetry. The fun part was that I didn’t even realize that his words connoted a lot of negativity, chaos, hatred, drugs, sex, and shadowy ideas that a person’s mind like his could only come up with; and I still enjoyed humming through every line. Haha! Who would forget Marshall Mather’s different personalities? Me? You? I do not know anyone who doesn’t know Slim Shady, even from the time that he went on a 5 year hiatus.

After 5 years comes his sixth studio album, Relapse. It is his first album after Encore. Dr. Dre, who produced for him throughout his career, produced most of the tracks and even performed on the single “Crack a Bottle”, which also featured 50 Cent. The album’s concept mainly depicts of his past drug issues as well as documentaries that involve crime and serial killers.

Relapse starts with a skit entitled “Dr. West”, where in Eminem is ready to leave rehab until he faces temptation that makes him  fall back to his own hysteria. Then goes “3 a.m.”, where Slim Shady portrays himself as a psycho serial killer who has a memory gap (forgets that he is murdering people until he sees the bodies of the victims and surprises himself how they got there). He also goes into detail how he murders them, including killing his own cousin. Who would even have the guts to write about this subject in his sane mind?

Traces of his addictive tendencies towards his mother is the main course in his song “My Mom”. Then he continues to tell his family tales on “Insane”, where he is molested by his step dad. Mariah Carey and her current husband Nick Cannon are the targets in “Bagpipes in Baghdad”. As unimaginable as he is, Eminem drops the names of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Pussycat Dolls, Kim Kardashian, Ted Bundy (serial killer), Jessica Simpson, Madonna, Mozart and Christopher Reeve, who he impersonates in the song “Medicine Ball”.

Most of his songs actually derives from his own experiences. In his song, “Must be the Ganja,” where it says, “I smell something in the air that’s makin’ me high. I said I smell something in the air that’s makin’ me high”, describes that working in the recording studio’s an addiction to him.

“Deja Vu”, affected me a lot. Why? Perhaps it is where Eminem opened up his very soul on describing how even his daughter has gotten scared of him because he couldn’t stop harming himself. One thing about this unsolicited honesty for me is that a person experiencing this certain phase in life would have a hard time in dealing with accepting reality as it is. After all the scary darkness that surrounded his family, he wrote something like this maybe, to be able to reach out to himself as a father and a human being. I just don’t know if Eminem thought of this like I did.

Another beautiful song that I like is “Beautiful.”  It talks about him reaching rock bottom, and a lost hope for the future. This is his touching attempt on singing an inspirational ballad. Somehow, this person filled with notoriety has his own gentleness within.

There is a lot for you to find out on Relapse. Having Marshall Matters sing about fighting his inner demons and his grand way of returning to the hiphop world is something that is worth listening to. You are going for a rollercoaster ride with him in this album. Savor your senses, especially your brain cells, when you take the plunge listening to his fantastic, self-hatred driven poetry. You would never know what you are in for. Listen.
