The Grey + The Raven (new trailers posted)


In The Grey, Liam Neeson leads an unruly group of oil-rig roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. Battling mortal injuries and merciless weather, the survivors have only a few days to escape the icy elements – and a vicious pack of rogue wolves on the hunt – before their time runs out.




In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) to hunt down a mad serial killer who's using Poe's own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. Directed by James McTeigue, the film also stars Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen. When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper--part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story. Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe's writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author's help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer's next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late

The downward spiral of a fortune-cookie writer...

will not be discussed or revealed at this time.


Watch "Hanna" online,  I'm about an hour into it. I like the movie, but I am in awe of what was achieved in post. The sound design and editing in particular. It is hella impressive, and it's old-school. Straight cuts, and quick fades. It's the kind of work I dream about doing- the type the inspires. I completed my system recovery...  No wait. Let me rephrase. I recovered the internal HD on the iMac and I stabilized my "half"-laptop. But I haven't got it working right. And, as a result, haven't done any real work in the last 4 days. I could really, really, really use a system engineer because I know what I have to do. I'm not doing it because I'm in this weird mindset. It's this grey area that is normally easy to identify and clearly labeled- like my LAN. But I'm watching Hanna, and I'm not thinking about why my NAS volumes aren't showing up properly- or the policies and permissions that seem to apply themselves whenever they feel like it . And I am pleased with the fact I will not be generating a report, or gathering statistics on how long it would take DataRescue 3 to recover 1TB of my files. I am also indifferent as to why the built-in ethernet adapter on my HP TX1000 laptop is, isn't sending or receiving packets (despite what the bios, control panel, windows services tell me that it is there and working). This fog is tempting me to research, troubleshoot and resolve these technical "anamolies". It works, after all- but it doesn't flow like it should. I'm gonna finish watching the movie now, then see what happens next. Kinda like my so-called-life.
