CoF Presents: Movie Phones
A film becomes instantly dated when technology changes. If your movie takes place in the woods where the characters have nothing electronic, you might be safe. I can already tell my iPhone4s is going to be laughable in a few years time, so the kids on the bus will tell me. Some movies avoid the use of certain technology to be more timeless, but sometimes it can’t be avoided for narrative reasons.
Many great movie moments involve phones – showing off some retro or outdated handsets. Here we look at some classic phones from movies, let us know your favorites and the many we didn’t list:
James Bond’s phone – Tomorrow Never Dies
James Bond always has gadgets, but this cell phone is awesome. It comes equipped with: a stun gun, a fingerprint scanner/analyzer/transmitter, a lock pick, and last but not least – a remote control for operating his BMW. He had a lot of fun using the steering pad and firing a rocket all at his fingertips.
Trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Blu-ray
Here is what they call a 90-second sizzle trailer for The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray, highlighting scenes from the film and special features that you will find in the collection. Features will include the documentary on the history of the Batmobile and a 17-featurette in-depth look at the making of the film called Ending the Knight.
Christopher Nolan’s final Batman story completed the trilogy this past summer and for what it’s worth now if you haven’t seen the movie, it’s a great one and shouldn’t be missed.
The Dark Knight Rises will be available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download on December 4th.
FYI: TDKR reunites Inception stars Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard, and Cillian Murphy.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Comes to Blu-ray on December 3rd
Warner Bros. has released a trailer for the Blu-ray of The Dark Knight Rises, it’s the same trailer as the theatrical release but the end says to look for the movie on Blu-ray and download. They put a lot of effort into it as you can see. Thank Batman-News for the information.
December 3rd is the date, and as you might have heard on the Internet (typical), there actually WON’T be a director’s cut; people were saying there would be an extra 30 minutes of Bane backstory. We don’t know what special features will be included on the Blu-ray so stay tuned.
Cut To The Chase Review: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES – It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
Cut To The Chase Reviews from The City of Films are spoiler free Reviews ‘abridged for your pleasure’. Quick, concise, and sometimes entertaining opinions on the go!
Christopher Nolan set a standard with Batman Begins in 2005. He set out to make a comic book movie (or superhero movie if you want) that could be taken seriously and for adults (finally). It’s grounded in reality, and more of a crime drama than comic. He went on to deliver one of the best sequels of all time with The Dark Knight and has now topped it off with his epic conclusion to one of the best trilogies of all time.
The question wasn’t if The Dark Knight Rises would be great or not, but just how great?
