    Kill Bill: Vol. 3 is rumored to hit the big screen this 2015, according to the franchise director Quention Tarantino

    Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill franchise is just like its own heroine, it’s not yet dead. The supposed to be 4-hour-long movie was then cut into two parts; the first one was released in October 10, 2003 and the second half in April 16, 2004 with over $330 million box-office. So, what’s more to come? A third installment was planned this year to be possibly released in 2015, despite Tarantino’s comment saying that there might not be a sequel for the movie. Though the third installment title has been publicly released as “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair”, the story plot has yet to be announced. In fact, Tarantino said that the he and the Weinstein Company had already met to finalize the film. Still, the fans might come up with a possible plot continuing The Bride’s (Uma Thurman) vengeance to her ex-colleagues who attempted to massacre almost everybody during her own wedding party. Her journey of revenge over multiple characters including Lucy Liu (as O-Ren Ishii) and the search for Bill (David Carradine) with her shock over finding out her daughter, whom she thought was dead, is alive. Followed by an intense interrogation between Beatrix (The Bride) and Bill, filled martial arts scenes until the bride herself wins and takes her daughter back, which was then the end for Kill Bill Volume 2. The question is what could possibly follow after that? Are the characters going to be the same? Well, one thing is for sure, the movie will be filled with amazing martial arts, stunts and guns. Also, Tarantino will be there to work on it.

    The Amazing Spiderman 3 – to hit the big screen 4 years after the last installment! Now that is a long wait!

    Everyone might have expected Andrew Garfield in his spider-man suit this 2016 but somehow, the release date was pushed to 2018. Quite a long wait though but then, “Sinister Six” which would be released in 2016, might help us understand why. If you’ve seen the Amazing Spider-man 2, you’d realize that this movie is way too awesome to end just like that. Rumors had it that Emma Stone who played as Peter Parker’s love interest, Gwen Stacy, might come back with an unknown role since her character met its end in the latest sequel. And then there’s Mary Jane Watson who was supposed to be played by Divergent’s star Shailene Woodley - but her scenes were soon deleted. Marc Webb, the director, stated that there would surely be an MJ but might not be Shailene due to her schedule conflicts. Sony later on announced that Amazing Spiderman fans will wait for four more years to watch Andrew slings his web again. Obviously, since the movie was pushed back, plots and additional characters have yet to be announced. And instead of the 3rd Amazing Spider-man movie, we might end up loving the “Sinister Six” as Marvel is expanding the Spiderman world more. What would we expect from the “Sinister six” anyway? Well, it’s a story of the villains in the Marvel Comics Universe which are Spiderman’s enemies. But rest assured that the long wait would be worth it and Peter Parker will surely be played by Andrew Garfield himself in four years time.

I can't think of anyone I'd rather see in the role.... Neeson has been up at the top of my personal Scudder wish list. I couldn't be happier about either the star or the writer/director, both of them genuine artists and brilliant professionals. My book's in good hands.''

    Nokia Lumia 930 is the best Windows smartphone, but falls short of competition

    Following Microsoft’s takeover of Nokia, the Finnish mobile phone company has released the Nokia Lumia 930, the first smartphone running on the Windows Phone 8.1 mobile operating system. How does the Nokia Lumia 930 fare against its Apple and Samsung counterparts? Design-wise, Lumia 930’s colorful plastic frame is a welcome contrast to the metallic, black and white look of other smart phones. The 9.8mm Lumia 930 is marginally thicker than the iPhone 5s and the Samsung Galaxy S5, but it makes up for this with built-in wireless charging. Its 5-inch, full-HD OLED display delivers rich colors. Its 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 chip is weaker compared to the 801 processor, which is now the standard in other smartphones; this in turn translates to a shorter battery life. There’s 32GB of internal storage capacity, but the lack of a microSD card slot might be a turn off for heavy media users. The Lumia 930’s 20 megapixel camera takes great shots during the day, but the slow shutter response results to frequently blurred or overexposed images. On the other hand, excellent videos can be shot in Dolby 5.1 surround sound. New features include Wi-Fi Sense, which allows users to share Wi-Fi connection automatically with Facebook, Outlook, and Skype contacts. Its comprehensive Bing Health and Fitness app has workout plans, exercises, video tutorials, and dietary planning features. But this win may be overshadowed by the fact that it has a limited library of 225,000 apps, compared to over one million in iOS and Android. The verdict? No compelling reason to switch to a Lumia 930 just yet.

Well, they need not wonder further: the iPad 6, also known as the iPad Air 2, is rumored to be released by October 2014, based on previous iPad launch events.

Like iPad Air, the iPad 6 will reportedly have a 9.7-inch display, but with better resolution and power efficiency. Expect the iPad 6 to be equipped with a faster 802.11ac wireless standard while running on an A8 chip, as against the A7 chip i iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, and iPhone 5S. Alleged iPad 6 prototypes reveal a Touch ID fingerprint sensor incorporated in the design, which will make securing the tablet more convenient and personalized. A Smart Cover keyboard could possibly be added in; unlike Microsoft’s Surface Touch keyboard, this will have multi-touch gesture support that turns the whole cover into a track pad.

For his life assignment, the young man, Jonas, is selected to be the Receiver of Memory, the person who is responsible for storing and managing all the memories before the time of ‘Sameness.’ As he receives the memory from the Giver, who was the previous receiver, he begins to have doubts as to whether their current life of perfect Sameness is really worth the sacrifice of all those things which make us human.

He said, "When you meet such famous actors that you're been watching since you were...since I was like five years old...you get this kind of image in your head of what they'll be like, and the reality of how they really are always surprises you. I guess with Jeff and Meryl, they just surprise me on how cool they are, and how it's the same for all of us, you know?"
