 Lea Michele has been taking it really hard the death of her boyfriend. Lea and the staff of glee made a tribute episode of his time in the TV show. The show was one of remembrance and it had the audience crying through the whole thing, the characters at least.  Many said that it was like the crew was just getting together for the first time because it was so hard for them to do their scenes.  The crew had a rough time pulling it off but even in the sadness and tears they got through it as a team.

 

 

Gravity in the Movie Theatre

Gravity has viewers strapped to their seats. No really! Gravity, directed by Alfonso Cuaron, was just released on October 4th, worldwide. With a 97% rating on rottentomatos.com and $55.8 million in box office, the movie made it to number one in the world the weekend it was released.

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in this space thriller, as an engineer and an astronaut, stranded out in space after their space shuttle is destroyed. They only have each other and a little air in their suits.

The first fifteen minnutes of the movie are in stunning CGI, making it eye grabbing and realistic. "Gravity, a weightless ballet and a cold-sweat nightmare, intimates mystery and profundity, with that mixture of beauty and terror that the Romantics called the sublime." Says top critic, Liam Lacey

Not just for the space lovers but for anyone who likes a good thriller and sory line. Let's see how long it will stay at number one! Check out the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KJHRF6RlTQ

New Yorkers get a taste of the supernatural with 'Carrie' promo

A few New Yorkers experienced an elaborate promotional tactic for the new movie Carrie earlier this month. A café full of actors and special effects were used to convince unsuspecting customers that people with telekinesis (the power to move objects with your mind) really exist.

For these customers the day started out normal as they recited their usual orders of coffee and pastries to the barista. Then a man accidentally spilled a woman’s coffee all over her lap and computer. Accidents like this happen more often than not, but what the customers didn’t know was that half of the people in the café were paid actors and their scene had just begun.

The woman yelled at the man, stood up, and thrust her hand towards him even though he was more than a few feet away. It didn’t matter though; in sync with her arm he flew against the wall where it appeared she was holding him without even touching him. The routine coffee goers realized this wasn’t so routine and watched in amusement, not knowing what else to think.

The woman then pulled back her arm, releasing the man from the wall and stared at her hands in disbelief. It became very apparent that she was concerned with what just happened and when she finally put her hands down the tables and chairs move away from her, again without being physically touched. At this point in time customers were no longer amused, but in a state of horror.

The final piece to this gag was the woman letting out a scream that sent books literally flying off shelves and customers running out the door in fear.

Coffee shop promo:

Clearly billboards and bus stop posters were too mundane for this much-awaited reboot of Stephen King’s bestseller. The line used in both the official trailer and the promotional video is “There are other people out there like me who can do what I can do”, spoken by Carrie, but no one can do it quite like a social outcast scorned.

Carrie (played by Chloe Grace Moretz) and her overbearing, ultra-religious mother (played by Julianne Moore) hit theaters Friday, Oct. 18 in this brilliant sci-fi horror.
