Hot Tub Time Machine
Hot Tub Time Machine follows a group of best friends who’ve become bored with their adult lives: Adam (John Cusack) has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a party guy who can’t find the party; Nick’s (Craig Robinson) wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob (Clark Duke) won’t leave his basement. After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads’ pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick some past and change their futures – one will find a new love life, one will learn to stand up for himself with the ladies, one will find his mojo, and one will make sure he still exists!

Robin Hood
Oscar winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood! I had no idea they were even making this movie but it looks pretty cool, and Russell Crowe is usually damn good in these types of roles. I hope it turns out well.

Brooklyn’s Finest
During seven fateful days, Eddie (Richard Gere), Sal (Ethan Hawke) and Tango (Don Cheadle) find themselves hurtling inextricably toward the same fatal crime scene and a shattering collision with destiny. The film captures the volatile and deadly world of one of New York’s most dangerous precincts through the eyes of the men and women pledged to protect and serve, as they face the wrenching choices that make them Brooklyn’s Finest. Wesley Snipes is also in this movie as one of Brooklyn’s most infamous drug dealers.
Say Something
Timbaland’s new album “Shock Value II” came out yesterday and boy was i disappointed. This album is no where near as good as his previous effort and had some really odd features such as JoJo, Miley Cyrus and Daughtry. It just didn’t work for me. Luckily this song was included, “Say Something” Ft. Drake is the highlight of the album, combining a cool beat and even better lyrics from Drizzy himself. Enjoy!

Fed Up
Here’s the new DJ Khaled single “Fed Up” Ft. Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Usher & Drake. Kinda cool to see an actual “video” concept these days instead of just standing near a wall. They got car chases, boat chases, drug deals… although the end is a bit rediculous. Check it out below:

Descent 2
One of my all time favourite horror movies now has a sequel! The Descent was one of the craziest movies I had ever seen, and for anyone who has seen the end of that movie they have been anxiously awaiting the follow-up. Below is the overview of the movie along with the trailer:
Emerging from the cave system alone, distraught and covered in the blood of her missing companions, Sarah is incoherent and half-wild with fear. Sceptical about her account of events and convinced Sarah’s psychosis hides far darker secrets, Sheriff Vaines (Gavan O’Herlihy) doesn’t waste time. Along with his partner Rios (Krysten Cummings), and their cave rescue team Dan (Douglas Hodge), Greg (Joshua Dallas), and Cath (Anna Skellern), Vaines forces Sarah back into the caves to help the rescuers find her friends
Bionic Arm
I thought this was pretty cool. Apparently there has been a ton of work put into the development of prosthetic and robotic arms over the past few years to try and keep up with prosthetic legs. These new arms gain power, dexterity and even sensitivity.
Advanced prosthetic arms promise a lot more. While not a perfect replacement for a human limb, the idea is to offer almost the same level of flexibility, dexterity and feedback that the hand can.
An extraordinary project from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency promises to make it happen. Darpa’s $100 million Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 Program aims to create a thought-controlled functional arm within this decade. The project is a collaborative effort with more than 30 organizations including labs, universities and private companies.

Shape Shifting Antenna
My last few posts seem to be holding a Terminator style theme with all the robotics/technology involved so I thought I’d keep it going! Researchers have created shape shifting antennas (Liquid metal terminator killer?) that pave the way for Smartphones or GPS navigators that can be rolled up and stuffed into the back pocket.
Advancements in display technology have created flexible displays that could be available commercially in about two years. Now, a new breakthrough suggests another critical component for most gadgets — antennas — are set to get more twisty than a pretzel.
Once the alloy has filled the channel, the surface of it oxidizes, creating a skin that holds the alloy in place while allowing it to retain its flexibility.
Using a new combination of alloys, researchers have created shape-shifting antennas that could be embedded into materials such as textiles, bandages and bendable displays to bring in a new generation of flexible devices.

Square
Well this is just sweet. Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey has created an iPhone credit card payment device that works through the headphone jack! Check it out by looking at the example image below as well as the accompanying video.
