Fox reveals first Trailer for Logan, the last Wolverine movie

The first trailer for the Logan is here:

After this movie Hugh Jackman will no longer be playing the X-Men character Wolverine.  

Logan releases on March 3rd 2017.

Fox hasn't confirmed if this movie will be in 3D, but considering the previous Wolverine movie and previous X-Men movies were in 3D , I expect this to follow suit .

Nintendo reveals new exclusive 2D Super Mario game for iPhone / iPad

Super Mario Run Coming to iPhone & iPad This December

 

Players Can Control Mario Action Platformer with Just One Hand

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- At an Apple event in San Francisco, CA earlier today, Nintendo announced that the leading man of video games will star in Super Mario Run, a full-sized Super Mario Bros. action platformer that has been developed specifically for mobile, and will be available first on the App Store this December. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto took the stage at the event and put Mario through his paces in a multi-level demonstration instantly familiar to millions of fans worldwide. In the game, Mario runs forward on his own, but relies on the touch of a single finger to jump over obstacles, avoid pesky enemies and capture the flag pole to complete levels.

“We have created Super Mario Runto be perfect for playing on your iPhone,” said Mr. Miyamoto, who first devised the Mario character more than 35 years ago. “Super Mario has evolved whenever he has encountered a new platform, and for the first time ever, players will be able to enjoy a full-fledged Super Mario game with just one hand, giving them the freedom to play while riding the subway or my favorite, eating a hamburger.”

“The App Store has made so many things better in our lives — the way we communicate, the way we work and the way we have fun,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “But for gamers of all ages, the story just hasn’t been complete without Mario, so we are thrilled that Nintendo is bringing him to iOS for the first time this December.”

Super Mario Run has a mode in which the player collects coins and heads for the goal, and a mode in which the player competes against the acrobatic moves of other people who have completed the same course. In addition, there is a mode in which you create your own Mushroom Kingdom based upon these play results.

iOS users will be able to download and enjoy a portion of Super Mario Run for free and will be able to enjoy all of the game content available in this release after paying a set purchase price. More details will be disclosed at a later date. The game has been developed with Mr. Miyamoto as lead creator for Nintendo. Nintendo is also continuing its partnership with DeNA for the launch of Super Mario Run. It will be offered on the App Store this December in more than 100 different countries, and nine different languages.

To help iOS users get ready for the launch of Super Mario Run, a free Mario-themed sticker pack for the App Store for iMessage will launch this month. iMessage users can easily access and use these stickers in a variety of ways, bringing a bit of Mushroom Kingdom flavor to their conversations.

Super Mario Run represents the next phase of Nintendo’s expansion to mobile platforms, following the release of Miitomo earlier this year. After the launch of Super Mario Run in December, Nintendo plans to deliver its previously announced mobile device titles in the Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem series before the end of March, 2017.

Jason Borne (5) gets an awful 3D release in China

 "The film, the fifth of the Jason Bourne series, has been heavily criticized two days after its release in China on Tuesday. The movie was slammed for its dizzying 3D effects, with many viewers saying the movie was not suitable for a 2D-to-3D adaption due to the film's violently shaking cinematography, thanks to director Paul Greengrass' hand-held camera-shooting style.
What further irritated Chinese audiences, especially Jason Bourne fans, was the 3D version appears to be their only choice.

According to The Beijing News, only 8 of 149 movie theaters in Beijing provided the 2D version as of Thursday.

In Shanghai, it was 9 of 174, and the theaters with the 2D version are either located in remote areas or screen the film early in the morning or late at night.

Odeon Cinemas, one of the biggest cinema chains in the UK, only offers the film's 2D version, according to its website.

Jason Bourne fan Zhou Yuchen on Thursday organized a protest with 30 other people against the 3D version, demanding a refund in a cinema in Chaoyang district, Beijing on Thursday.

"The 3D version is a rip-off. It's been happening many times in China and must be stopped," Zhou told the Global Times on Thursday, adding that he would organize similar protests online."

My Thoughts 

Stories like this are infuriating because it's obvious the movie studios only care about money and don't care about crafting a quality 3D stereoscopic experience. I have reviewed several movies that have terrible or uninspired 3D, however it's never caused me to want to vomit . Shame on Universal Pictures for doing this dishonorable service to fans of 3D and making it nearly impossible for people to watch it in 2D. This is part of the reason to why I made this website because I was feed up with movie studios making bad 3D movies.  I felt like nobody was covering the quality of the 3D visuals and different movie studios could get away with injustices like this . In a perfect world all 3D movies would be filmed in 3D and would look fantastic and give the viewer a enjoyable superior immersive experience. I am not against post converted 3D movies . The results are mixed on how good the quality of post converted 3D movies can be but some can look pretty good . What I am against is greedy corporations making movies "3D" for only the sake of greed and they don't care at all about the quality. This is a truly outrageous what Universal Pictures did to this movie and this practice shouldn't be allowed anywhere. The audience should have the opportunity to watch a movie in 2D and it should never be forced upon anyone as the only realistic  option to watch a movie . I will try to contact Universal Pictures for a comment on this Jason Borne controversy.
