MTV Sneak Peeks: Eclipse, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

6/08/2010 01:32:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

There was plenty for viewers to scream over at last night's MTV Movie Awards But there was more to the event than hot fashion and make-out sessions.

A pair of major movies were previewed, as the ceremony gave us sneak peek at both Eclipse and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The latter will hit theaters in November and be broken up into a pair of films. Below, get your first look at action and confrontations (Harry vs. Ron?!?) from it:


From there, try to keep your hyperventillating to a minmum, as you check out a scene from Eclipse. In it, Bella hops aboard Jacob's bike, soon after being warned that she's "the one the red head wants."

Orlando Bloom Starred in ‘Pirates’ to Work With Johnn Depp

6/08/2010 01:32:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

ORLANDO Bloom only agreed to appear in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies because it meant he got to work with Johnny Depp.

The actor admits he was initially reluctant to take on the role of Will Turner — but quickly changed his mind when he found out he’d be starring alongside Depp.

“I always had actors to look up to, like Johnny. I got the offer for Pirates Of The Caribbean while I was shooting Ned Kelly with Heath Ledger in Australia.

“I was like, ‘I’m filming the coolest cowboy movie right now, why would I want to go be a pirate in a Disney flick?’

“And then they said, ‘Okay, but Johnny Depp is doing it’, and I was like ‘Sign me up! I’ll be there as soon as I can’.”

Bloom confirmed earlier this year that he will not be appearing in the next installment of the franchise.

Nintendo 3DS Speed Will Be "Close To" PS3 and Xbox 360's...Apparently

6/08/2010 01:32:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Speed has been one of the oft-talked about points of the upcoming 3DS, but according to "several developers" who spoke to IGN, it'll have processing speeds similar to that of the PS3 and Xbox 360.

IGN said they've heard the speed of the 3DS will "far exceed the Nintendo Wii," which runs on an IBM Broadway 90nm SOI CMOS processor, clocked at 729MHz. The 3DS has been rumored to include an NVIDIA Tegra chip, but IGN's developer sources have told the website those rumors are actually false.

Anyone else get the feeling these 3DS rumormongerers are just throwing any old much-hoped-for spec at the launch, hoping something will stick?

AT&T tweaking iPhone upgrade eligibility in advance of new model?

6/08/2010 01:31:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Wanting to buy whatever iPhone goodness Steve Jobs unveils later on today, but currently languishing in the grip of an existing AT&T contract? According to MacRumors, multiple customers of the carrier are finding that, when they log into http://wireless.att.com and check their account status, they’re all of a sudden eligible for an upgrade where previously they were not. No official word from the carrier as yet, but one obvious explanation is that they’re preparing for an influx of requests from existing iPhone owners wanting to switch to the new iPhone HD.

Of course, we’ve seen things like this happen before, and had AT&T tell us that the system isn’t a clear-cut thing but “based on a variety of factors (length of contract, payment history, etc.) unique to each customer’s account.”

Apple's Magic Trackpad revealed?

6/08/2010 01:31:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Of all the surprises we expected to hear about in the WWDC keynote, a multitouch trackpad peripheral didn't exactly pop into our brains. But -- whoomp -- here it is. What we appear to be looking at is a brand new input device that Apple has dreamed up which connects to desktops (and laptops, if you like) via Bluetooth, much like the Apple Keyboard. If you take what you see in the photos at face value, it would seem that the folks in Cupertino are making a play for finger-based input in a big way -- taking the work they've done on Mac laptops and the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and translating it to the desktop realm. This weirdly lines up perfectly with rumors from earlier in the year, emanating from both John Gruber (of Daring Fireball fame), and MacRumors -- the former reporting that Apple was set to release a "Mentioned-Nowhere-Else-But-in-This-Very-Headline Multi-Touch Trackpad Gadget for Desktop Macs," and the latter taking notice of an Apple trademark application for the "Magic Trackpad." It certainly all makes sense given that the company has made not-so-subtle moves away from standard input devices to finger-friendly options in many, many of its recent products. Whatever the case may be, we're potentially just hours away from the truth, so feast your eyes on the photos, and get ready for the big reveal.

Samsung Galaxy Tab comes in three sizes, ships this fall?

6/08/2010 01:30:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


In the left corner, the 4-inch Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. In the right, the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab. Not pictured: the tablets that will dwarf both. According to a South Korean newspaper, the Galaxy Tab is only one of three touchscreen tablet devices Sammy's got planned: while the 7-inch model is slated for August, 8-inch and 10-inch varieties are rumored to appear in November and December respectively. Though the "high-ranking industry official" who informed the publication sadly failed to mention a price, he or she did add that the devices will launch with SK Telecom -- the second time we've heard that -- meaning if any of this is true, they've almost certainly got cellular modems inside. All we need now is some official confirmation, and perhaps a nice, binding promise of OTA Froyo.

Despite the turmoil going on with TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki the group is still very popular in Japan evidenced by the fact of nearly 50,000 fans coming out to see JaeChunSu (Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu) for their THANKSGIVING LIVE concert / fanmeet held at the Kyocera Dome Osaka. During the festivities, the trio shared their personal feelings about the issues. Here’s a translation courtesy of ttvxqhwaiting @ OneTVXQ.com:

On the 5th ~ 6th of this month, at the fanmeet which was held in Osaka, Japan, the TVXQ trio Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun said, “The year of 2009 was a painful one, reaching the point where we wanted to give up everything.” It’s the first time that they mentioned about their feelings on the dispute with SM Entertainment about their contract.

Micky Yoochun, who was at Osaka’s Kyocera Dome to meet with the Japanese fans, said, “In 2009 I was always bored at home, not keeping in contact with anyone. Really felt like wanting to give up everything.” “It is all thanks to the encouragement from the members and the fans support that I can once again challenge myself. I will work harder in the future.”

Widely known to fans unofficially as JYP Sisters since they started out as a 5-member group in training last year, the group has gone through several changes, most notably the exit of Hye Lim who joined the Wonder Girls, while two other members also left.

JYPE then decided to group the two remaining girls, Wang Fei Fei and Meng Jia with a 16-year old girl Korean, Suzy Bae and form a 3-member girl group, miss A.

Katherine Heigl and Co. Can't Heat Up the Summer

6/07/2010 12:55:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

A year ago, Up was hot, and The Hangover was hotter.

That was then. This is the cooled-off now.

The Katherine Heigl-Ashton Kutcher team-up Killers bowed in third place at the weekend box office, with an estimated $16.1 million, while the Judd Apatow-approved comedy Get Him to the Greek took second, with $17.4 million. Put 'em together, and what did you get?

A combined gross that's less than what The Hangover (or Up) did this time last summer.

The other new wide releases, the family comedy Marmaduke ($11.3 million) and the horror movie Splice ($7.5 million), were even less potent.

Shrek Forever After managed its third straight box-office win on the strength of a $25.3 million Friday-Sunday—a gross that would've put it in third place on this weekend last year.

"The last two weeks have been a disaster really," Exhibitor Relations' Jeff Bock said today. "Usually, we see these kind of grosses for films in August."

Studio execs were more optimistic, as is their right, saying they expected things to heat up as schools let out kids—and potential moviegoers—for the summer.
