April 11th marked the start of Milan Design week, and this year, Disney and DuPont teamed up with a slew of designers to recreate Kevin Flynn’s virtual Safe House from Tron in real, tangible materials. Choosing Corian, an amazing surface material that can be produced in almost any color or finish, can be thermo-moulded, resists heat, scratching, pressure, and direct force, the finished product is pretty unbelievable. Featuring products from Jacuzzi, Luxit, Light Tape, and others, the furniture and house package is a sleek, glowing vision. Outside of desperately needing some sexy siren programs lounging around, I can’t see too many ways the aesthetic could any better represent Tron. The display was shown at Padiglione Visconti in Milano, Italy, and just ended on the 17th. Check out some of the first pictures from the Safe House after the jump.

Prometheus International Poster – Headed in the Right Direction
Given my continuing obsession with all things Prometheus, I’m excited to share this brand new international Prometheus poster with you. The art direction looks fantastic, and I’m glad that Ridley Scott is finally taking another shot at the science fiction genre. He’s damn good at it. Having said that, I do have one minor concern. There’s been a flurry of activity surrounding the movie lately, and I really hope that Ridley Scott doesn’t… get a big… head?
The new poster features another scene from inside the derelict ship, and given the giant ominous stone head, I’m curious what direction Ridley is taking the film. If the ship is full of creepy crawlies, the crew will simply have to
The Bourne Legacy – Jeremy Renner is Bourne to Kill
After realizing that Matt Damon wouldn’t actually be starring in Bourne Legacy, the upcoming sequel to one of my all time favorite movie trilogies, I was rather worried. Actors are replaced all the time, but Matt Damon just did such a good job with his character that I couldn’t imagine someone else stepping into his shoes. Well, with each new trailer for Bourne Legacy, I feel less concerned.
The 2nd official trailer you’re about to watch doesn’t show a lot of new footage if you’ve seen the previous one that I posted, but it does most certainly
HELL NO! – A Realistic Horror Movie with Sensible Characters
I don’t know about you, but I never really liked horror movies. Do you ever find yourself feeling embarrassed for the fictional characters when you’re watching …
Ferris Club – Ferris Bueller, You’re My Hero.
I never thought that someone would actually combine two of my favorite things, and have the end result be so awesome. Like with drinking too much beer, or eating too much ice-cream, sometimes there’s simply too much of a good thing. Not so with Ferris Club.
Ferris Club manages to create a perfect meld between the wacky (and often realistic) shenanigans of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, with the
Armadillo – Movie Review
In 2009, Danish filmmaker Janus Metz followed a group of Danish Soldiers on their first mission to the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Embedded for six months at Forward Operating Base Armadillo, Metz captured some of the most intimate and surreal war footage ever to be shown in a war documentary. How good is it? Well, let’s just say it makes Jarhead look like In the Army Now.
Matthew’s Day Off – Ferris Bueller Themed Honda Commercial
Just yesterday I posted the teaser for this Ferris Bueller inspired Honda commercial, and already the full deal has hit the internet. It’s sad too, because I had such high hopes for this. It’s a commercial, featuring Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller; how can a person screw that up? You see, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is one of my favorite 80s movies, and probably one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s been years since I’ve had my Bueller fix, and I expected nothing short of the second coming of Christ from this commercial. Unfortunately, that just wasn’t the case.
The commercial starts off with Bueller calling in sick to work, in typical Bueller fashion, but there’s something wrong. As you watch the commercial unfold, you’ll
