Safe House – Tailor-Made for Action Junkies

 Hollywood, Reviews  2 Responses »
Feb 102012

If you love the heady thrill of good action films, if you relish the talent of Denzel Washington and if you enjoy an entertaining two-hours at the movies, then you definitely don’t want to miss Safe House.

The midnight show of Safe House at a theatre on the U.S. East Coast evoked a good response with over 50 people (mostly Black) braving the chill and filing into the hall.

Man, we haven’t had such a good time feasting our eyes over an action movie in months.

And we bet the rest of the audience too had an equally good time.

Scorching Action

Directed by Swedish film-maker Daniel Espinosa (of Snabba Cash fame) from a screenplay by David Guggenheim, Safe House sets a scorching pace from within 10 minutes of the start and never lets up till the end.

Set for the most part in Cape Town, South Africa, Safe House has Denzel Washington playing a rogue CIA agent Tobin Frost with superb finesse.

At CIA headquarters in Langley, the suits damn Frost as a ‘notorious traitor’ and in the same breath hail him as one of the agency’s finest.

But for the last nine years, Frost has been playing his own game and is now wanted for espionage in four continents! Continue reading »

In 2008, nearly 750,000 American teenagers became pregnant: Some 733,000 pregnancies were among teenagers (women aged 15–19), and 13,500 were among those aged 14 and younger.

It took them decades.

But American teenagers finally seem to have learned the knack of fucking without impregnating.

In other words, American teens have belatedly learned about birth control.

Teen Pregnancy Falls

Teen pregnancy has fallen to its lowest level in our Amreeka in 40 years. Continue reading »

As a Pakistani i feel so happy haha, Indian who talk bad about Pakistan online get up early in the morning do their business in bushes/streets/roads/footpath/railways/fields than come home login and start talking about what a heaven india is and india is superpower bhal bhal…hahaha.

- Alamzabe, a Pakistani, commenting on a Times of India article relating to India’s Eternal Shame – Half of India still defecates in the open

Distressing as it is, we have to admit Alamzabe (poor grammar notwithstanding) is right.

Incredible Indians are good at only two things – Bullshitting and Public shitting.

Oh boy, these cheapo desis in Amreeka never had it so good when it comes to streaming movies to their TVs, PCs, tablets and mobile phones.

For a reasonable monthly/annual fee, desis and other Americans now have a cornucopia of movies and TV channels/shows that they can stream with a flick of their remote.

For sure, much of the content is not new, and a lot of it very old, but the availability of tons of eclectic movies and TV shows overrides the freshness shortcoming.

Here’s a brief look at some of the legal streaming options available to Americans, including some targeted exclusively at desis:

* Just this morning Amazon announced a deal with Viacom for TV shows taking the total number of Prime Instant Videos service (both movies and TV shows) to 15,000. The Viacom deal lets Amazon Prime members ($79 a year) stream TV shows from MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, TV Land, Spike, VH1, BET, CMT and Logo. Titles include kids’ favorites, stand-up comedy, and reality TV. Amazon intends to offer MTV shows including The Hills, Jersey Shore, The Hard Times of RJ Berger, several seasons of The Real World, and Comedy Central shows such as Chappelle’s Show and The Sarah Silverman Program. For kids, Amazon will bring Nickelodeon episodes of iCarly, Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, Yo Gabba Gabba, along with TV Land favorite, Hot in Cleveland.

Amazon Prime Adds Viacom TV Shows

* Three days back, DVD kiosk RedBox and ISP Verizon announced a joint venture that will let customers stream movies for a monthly subscription fee.

Details are sparse on the Redbox-Verizon streaming venture and whether the subscription will include DVDs from the kiosk remains to be seen.

Expect the RedBox-Verizon streaming service to launch in the second half of 2012. But we doubt the upcoming service can match Netflix in depth and breadth of content.

Vonage Offers Free Calls to India

We’re not sure if Internet phone services provider Vonage’s latest initiative is a sign of desperation or a smart move.

This morning Vonage rolled out free international calling powered by its Vonage Mobile app.

Available for iPhone and Android devices, the free app lets users call others who have downloaded the app.

Vonage Mobile also allows users to send free texts to users of the app, worldwide.

The app works over Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G wireless data networks.

Why the Free Service?

The wise ones ones at SI think the logic behind the new free international service is the reasonable expectation that not many users outside the U.S. have iPhone or Android phones.

Ergo, they’ll have to use a paid service like Vonage or Skype (offers both free and paid services).

Vonage Mobile users can call people who have not downloaded the app at per-minute rates that Vonage claims are 70% less than major mobile carriers and 30% less than Skype’s paid version.

Free Already Available

If you have an iPhone, iPad or new iMac or Mac notebooks, you can use the device’s built-in Facetime app to make video calls to other iPhone or iPad users anywhere in the world via WiFi for free.

But Facetime won’t let you call those without an iPhone, Android phone or iMac or Mac notebooks.

Or you can use the free version of Skype app to call other Skype users.

Vonage Mobile – The Details

Users can add calling credit directly from the app through iTunes or Android Market in increments of $4.99 and $9.99.

Vonage Mobile uses the phone’s existing mobile number and contact list, avoiding the need for unique user names and duplicate identities for contacts.

Calls to any phone in the U.S., Canada or Puerto Rico from anywhere in the world will be free for a limited time (up to 3,00 minutes a month).

Users do NOT need to be a Vonage customer to use the app. Calls to Vonage home or business lines are also free.

Besides the iPhone and Android phone, Vonage Mobile app works on iPod Touch, iPad and Android Tablets.

Wawa Keeps its Promise

Convenience store and gas station chain Wawa is a big presence in PA, NJ, DE and MD.

During the course of our travels, we often used to stop at Starbucks to fill up on coffee and fill out of water. ;)

But these days a lot of Starbucks restrooms leave a lot to be desired.

Hence, we’re shifting our loyalties to Wawa’s Mocha with extra caffeine and its restrooms while traveling.

The other day while driving through NJ we stopped at Wawa’s Burlington (NJ) location during rush hour (around 6PM) to fill in and fill out.

Here’s the promise (please see below) we found in Wawa’s restroom:

Wawa Restroom Promise

We’re glad to tell you that Wawa kept its promise.

The restroom (see below) was 99% clean and unsmelly even during the busy rush hour period.
