10:56 PM - Torchwood:the Miracle Day

Caption Jack has been back in July, Torchwood has released the fourth season - The Miracle Day, by now, we can enjoy eight episodes or more, I'm not sure.

"Torchwood" is a sci-fi TV series created by Russell Davis and John Barrowman and Eve Myles act the leading roles. It describes a fictional story about torchwood Academy third division in Cardiff. The main task of Torchwood Research Institute is to research supernatural and extraterrestrial. As derivative drama of "Doctor Who" which is British science fiction television series that has longevity, there is a closely relation between these two dramas.

The first season had 13 episodes, already broadcasted on BBC3 in October 2006, and the second season also had 13 episodes which were broadcast on BBC2 in January 2008. And the third season was a mini-drama has 5 episodes, each episode was an hour, was broadcast in July 2009 in a week.

But there is a prominent difference between two shows, because the "Torchwood" is broadcast after 9:00 pm, so compared to "Doctor Who", it contains more adult content. Davis said "Doctor Who" is not allowed to involve any adult-oriented ideas in an interview of BBC Wales Radio. In the first season, we can see many scenes that never will be seen in "Doctor Who", including the sex scene (in "Day One" and "Out of Time" in), and similar to that appeared in many episodes. BBC3 thinks that "Torchwood" is the most shining series in fall of 2006. John said that "in the first season I do not have any naked scene, they said there would be in the second season, I do not mind naked as long as they pay me the right money, I am ready to show off my"….you know what he means, huh huh.

The fourth season "Torchwood- the Miracle Day" is broadcast in Starz. From the BBC to Starz, from Cardiff to the United States, "Torchwood" has new integration, there are new stories be told, and new characters debuted, as well as new enemies destruct the calm and peaceful life of human beings. …To me, John Barrowman is always my idol, he is the reason I back to season4, but after seeing 8 episodes, I find the story is more attractive.

Suddenly one day, humans stop dying. The whole world, no one dies. But people are still very fragile and can be hurt or get sick, but they can't die. This phenomenon causes a merited result: the number of people is bursting. Population is growing, but resources are limited. It is said that in the next four months, the human will grow to the limit, the entire planet will overload. But this "Miracle Day" can never be a natural phenomenon, it must be a very sinister conspiracy. Rex Matheson, a CIA agent, begins to investigate this global conspiracy, he races against time, and the answer relates to a very old institution Torchwood of UK. Rex has been keeping asking, "What is Torchwood?" He was involved in the vortex of this conspiracy, and he got hurt, too, but of course, he was still alive, becoming one of those walking dead. After he getting connect with Torchwood, he joined them.

I think that story is very attractive, we all want to who is leading this global conspiracy, and how the Torchwood will beat them, and of course, who will be Jack' Mr. Right, something like that. Anyway, you can watch it on your ipad when you are boring on the metro, figure out how to convert video to ipad on mac with a dvd to ipad converter, then you can kill your time.

3:51 AM - The Great Gatsby Starred by Leonardo DiCaprio Will Hit Theatres in December

In the end of this year, Leonardo DiCaprio's new work "The Great Gatsby" will hit the theatre, which is adapted from the novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald. After the first trailer being released, this remake of classic novel has attracted the full attention. Moreover, the mysterious poster really surprise and confuses audiences, also lets people more interest in this movie.

The Great Gatsby was published in 1925, is a short story based on New York and Long Island in 1920s, and it's regarded as the symbol of the "Jazz Age" of American literature. However, it was not popular when published, the sales was less than 24,000 copies when F. Scott Fitzgerald still alive. And it was ignored in the Great Depression and World War II, until 1950s reprinted, it only received extensive attention. In subsequent decades, it has become the standard textbook for high school and university literature courses. If is called one of the greatest English novels in twenty century. Available downloaded at Amazon, and if you want to read it on other portable devices, you may need drm removal free to remove DRM protection.

About the plots of this novel or this movie, I bet most people already know. The protagonist of the novel is Nick Callaway, who is a stock trader in Wall Street, the neighbor of Gatsby. Gatsby is a very young and rich person. Callaway later experiences that no matter how dignified on the appearance of these wealthy people are, actually they all are very indifferent. Gatsby loves Daisy, who already marries to Tom. In a car accident, Daisy kills Tom's lover, and to protect Daisy, Gatsby says it's him who kills Tom's lover, because of this, in the end, he is killed by the woman's husband. Almost on one participates in Gatsby's funeral, including Daisy. Callaway finally found Jordan, a man who plans to attend the funeral, and aware that the so-called identity of Gatsby is just an illusion. In the end, Callaway moves to the Midwest, leaving Gatsby's wishful dreams and sorrow behind.

The remake is directed by Baz Luhrmann, the cast includes Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. Judging by the amount of hits on youtube (1.5 million +) in two days, and if you have downloaded the trailer and want to watch it on your iPod, change it to the supported format with m4v to mp4 converter. The trailer gives us a taste of Luhrmann's classic over-the-top visuals and beautiful imagery. Not to mention some fantastically sparkly flapper costumes.

Costumed by Catherine Martin, this new movie definitely has style, at least as far as we can tell from the preview. With the glitz and glam of every flapper dress, cloche hat and fur wrap, we definitely felt like we had traveled back in time when watched the trailer. But as fashion sleuths, of course we wanted to know: will the movie accurately depict 1920s fashion?

More information about this movie will be known with the coming of second trailer, and there is much time for us to imagine the details about it, after all, we won't watch this masterpiece until December, so keep eyes on this movie.

The story background in this movie will back to the time when spider man was still in high school, and just like other Hollywood movies, it will be released in 3D.

About who would play Peter Parker before it was decided, there were many choices. But before that, we should know why Tobey Maguire quits. Well, the reason is simple, because Tobey is no long suitable to play a high school student. So there were six candidates to play this role, including Andrew Garfield from "Boy A", Aaron Johnson from "Kick-Ass", Russia handsome actor Anton Logan from "Star Trek", Logan Lerman from "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief", Jamie Bell from "Billy Elliot" and Alden Ehrenreich from "Tetro". In the end, the company chose Andrew Garfield, who has an excellent performance in Social Network.

About him, Marc Webb, the director said, "Even his name is not yet known by everybody, but no matter who has worked with him can feel his talents. He is one of the very rare actors who posses wisdom, gentle and humor. Just remember what I say now, you'll love the Spider-Man played by Andrew Garfield." Fans of Andrew Garfield, you can watch it and other free ipad movie after being released.

So what will happen to Peter Parker in high school? Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. And then the story begins.

Cast members in attendance included Spidey himself, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Rhys Ifans (The Lizard/Dr. Curt Connors), Denis Leary (Captain Stacy), Martin Sheen (Uncle Ben), Sally Field (Aunt May), Webb and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.

As to the 3D release, the producer has something to say. The use of 3D made possible due to recent advances in technology, said producer Matt Tolmach. "It was very, very clear to all of us that this is a movie that was meant to be told in 3D. 3D is a form of storytelling, not just a way to sell the movie to audiences."

I guess most people will go to cinema to experience 3D effect, of course, if anyone who thinks there is no need to spend the money to watch it, you can convert dvd to ipad on mac, if you own an iPad and a Mac. But to me, I'm look forward to this movie with all my expectations.
