The trailers for Jupiter Ascending were enticing but the movie was all over the place.  Ambiguous yet tolerable as a love story, Jupiter Ascending was a letdown.  The special effects were some of the best I’ve seen. I think someone got carried away with perfecting green screen scenes instead of letting the audience in on what was really happening.  At one point, I was just watching for the effects rather than trying to make sense of the story.  Please note, I saw this movie in Real 3D, which really brought the special effects to life.

It seems 3 siblings are hungry for the same territory and would do what ever it takes to secure it as their inheritance.  Along comes Mila Kunis who plays the queen, Jupiter Jones and is called “your majesty” throughout the movie.  As the rightful heir, Jupiter  stands to take the most valuable claim of…

The death of the Ultimate Warrior was just the latest grim reminder that professional wrestlers continue to drop dead from something other than old age at an alarming rate.

The pinnacle of the Warrior’s career was WrestleMania VI on April 1, 1990, at SkyDome in Toronto. Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan in the main event to win the championship. Warrior is the 12th wrestler who competed at WrestleMania VI to have died — one-third of the card’s working roster. The oldest was just 63.

 As a point of reference, of the 44 starting players from that year’s Super Bowl between the 49ers and Broncos, only one has died: Denver defensive end Ron Holmes, who was 48 when he passed away in 2011 from diabetes and coronary issues.

From some of his scientific beliefs to works he’s written, there are a few things you might not have guessed about world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking.

Even if you don’t keep an in depth eye on new tendencies in physics, you’ve probably seen the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. He’s prided himself regarding making his complex physical concepts accessible into the public and writing any bestseller, “A Brief History of the time. ”

And if that you’re a fan of Conan O’Brien, “The Simpsons” or simply “Star Trek, ” maybe you have seen him brandishing this cool wit during client appearances on those illustrates.

Even if you fully understand his academic work, yet, there are many interesting facts may very well not know about Hawking, stretching from his point in time at school and sluggish development of disability to his opinions over the future of the human race.

Many find it incredible…

As Eddie Ray Routh sat motionless at the defense table Monday, Texas jurors watched him confess on videotape to the fatal shootings of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield.

Routh, 27, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to capital murder charges in the Feb. 2, 2013, killings at the shooting range of Rough Creek Lodge and Resort, southwest of Dallas. His attorneys say Routh, a former Marine corporal, was in the grip of a medically diagnosed psychosis.

Prosecutors played an hour-long video Monday in the Stephenville, Texas, courtroom of Routh’s interview with an investigator after his arrest. As the questioning begins, Routh doesn’t answer directly, rambling about flying pigs and people feeding on his soul.

Kingsman is a culmination of many spy epics, like James Bond and Casino Royal.  I really enjoyed this delightful, breath of fresh air, change of pace film, derived from a comic book series.  Great cast and pretty good, albeit, ridiculous plot.  Kingsman appeared to be a serious spy (what’s going to happen next) type of movie and it was, except it got a little silly towards the end — but good silly.  Right from the beginning, we are presented with the fantastic skills of the Kingsman as we watch Lancelot (Jack Davenport) kick ass rescuing a kidnapped climate expert, Professor Arnold (Mark Hamill) from his captors.  Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Valentine, is filthy rich and has a most fascinating partner named Gazelle (Sofia Boutella) who has no legs but wears blades instead.  Valentine is a tech genius and is obsessed about the planet’s global warming, climate control and such. …

Concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) are a technology that generates electricity from sunlight. You probably know that already, but now a team of researchers have worked on enabling CPV systems for rooftop use by combining photovoltaic cells and a 3D printed plastic lens array which not only reduces the size and weight, but also cuts the total cost of such systems.

Using miniaturized photovoltaic cells of gallium arsenide, the 3D printed plastic lens arrays, and a focusing mechanism which moves to track the sun, a traditional solar panel can be placed on the south-facing side of a building’s roof.

The researchers discovered that they could reach 70 percent optical efficiency — and they hope to reach 90 percent efficiency — using their design.

Saint Michael, the archangel of battle, is tattooed across the back of a U.S. army veteran who recently returned to Iraq and joined a Christian militia fighting Islamic State in what he sees as a biblical war between good and evil.

Brett, 28, carries the same thumb-worn pocket Bible he did while deployed to Iraq in 2006 – a picture of the Virgin Mary tucked inside its pages and his favorite verses highlighted.

“It’s very different,” he said, asked how the experiences compared. “Here I’m fighting for a people and for a faith, and the enemy is much bigger and more brutal.”
