Us historian plans to unveil Coca Cola's secret recipe
16 May 2013 9:48 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
London, May 17: A historian has threatened to lift the veil of secrecy of Coca Cola's recipe this week, as he claims to publish a copy of the original formula in a new book.
Historian Mark Pendergrast said that the recipe was handed down through the family of Frank Robinson, the commercial partner of chemist John Pemberton, who first produced the drink in the summer of 1886, the Independent reported.
In the third edition of his book, 'For God, Country and Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and the Company That Makes It,' Pendergrast reproduces what he claims to be the same recipe that Pemberton. »

10 Greatest Toy Commercials of All Time
21 April 2013 12:59 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Commercials are not to be mistaken for works of art. While a TV commercial may utilise many of the same skill sets as a film- writing, direction, editing, cinematography, acting and so on- due to their explicit business agenda, we do not equate them with actual cinema.
Though we may duly admire the artistry of an illustration for Coca Cola, no matter how well executed, we distinguish such works from those that hang upon the walls of a gallery. This line is blurred when advertising material is appropriated into a work of art (see: Andy Warhol) or when artists begin to achieve tremendous success, but nonetheless, this sacred/profane dichotomy between art/design is clear-cut once we ascertain the intention or motivation of the work’s creator.
So while it is not my contention that these 10 toy commercials are films, I believe they can be appreciated on a filmic level, »

Interview: Danny Boyle about ‘Trance’
11 April 2013 2:54 PM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
I joined a few other journalists to ask director Danny Boyle questions about his new film, Trance. We spoke about his gig at the Olympics, possibly revisiting the 28 Days Later universe
For reference, our question is in red while the other journalist’s questions are in bold and Danny Boyle’s answers are italicized below. I would recommend going into Trance barely knowing anything at all to get the maximum enjoyment out of it. There is one question that might be a bit spoilerly but it addresses something that is in the beginning of the film.Also of note, Danny Boyle is someone that I think could talk all day if he wanted to about film. He is passionate and loves film as a filmmaker and a consumer. Sadly, the moderator cut him off in mid sentence so the final paragraph is true to the conversation.

Wamg Interview: Danny Boyle – Director of Trance
9 April 2013 6:51 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Danny Boyle is the British film director, producer and screenwriter, best known for his work on films such as Slumdog Millionaire, Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later, 127 Hours and Trainspotting. Boyle won numerous awards for his 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire, including the Academy Award for Best Director. In 2012, Boyle was the Artistic Director for Isles of Wonder, the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games. Boyle’s latest film Trance was actually filmed before the Olympics project, then sat for a few months before the editing process. James McAvoy stars in Trance as a fine art auctioneer who teams up with a criminal gang to steal a Goya painting worth millions of dollars, but after suffering a blow to the head during the heist he awakens to discover he has no memory of where he hid the painting. The film opens in St. Louis Friday, April 12th. Look for my review here at We Are Movie Geeks. »

Lotus Eaters | Review
3 April 2013 3:35 PM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Let What is Broken So Remain: McGuiness’ Debut Familiar, Mesmerizing
“Ah, why should life all labor be?” asks Lord Alfred Tennyson in a line from his poem, The Lotus-Eaters, with which Alexandra McGuiness’ film debut shares its title. First referenced as the main source of food for sleepy island dwelling folk in Homer’s Odyssey, the lotus is a fruit and a flower that acts like a narcotic when consumed. It’s a fitting allusion for a film that deals with a posh group of London twentysomethings hollowly attending endless parties together as they apathetically pursue glamorously impenetrable careers.
Alice (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) suspects that she’s getting a titch too old to continue pursuing her career as model, and thus sets her sights on the next best thing—acting. She’s not quite over the break-up with her ex, Charlie (Johnny Flynn), who is addicted to heroin and rather self-involved »

Eli Roth Interview – The Last Exorcism: Part II
20 March 2013 3:52 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
It is, it appears, an exciting time to be Eli Roth. A player on the Hollywood scene for over a decade, thanks to the runaway success of Cabin Fever, Roth was propelled to notoriety by the Hostel movies, and earned himself both commercial triumph and critical censure thanks to his seeming status as banner-waver for the so-called torture-porn subgenre that boomed in the Noughties.
Going into a new decade, the torture-porn phenomenon still seems to be going strong, as various film-makers continue to try and shock jaded audiences with ever more creatively-extreme shenanigans. Roth, however, seems set on diversifying his gruesome portfolio, with a spooky exorcism thriller sequel, a cannibal exploitation movie, and a horror TV show; he’s even got an evil clown movie on the horizon. Having attached his name to the well-received The Last Exorcism, it looks like Roth is set upon emphasising that he doesn’t »

Kiwi woman dies after drinking 10 liters of Coca Cola a day
12 February 2013 10:48 AM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
London, Feb uary 13: An addiction to Coca-Cola led to the death of a woman who downed up to 10 litres of Coca Cola everyday and died aged 30 from a cardiac arrhythmia, according to a New Zealand coroner.
Natasha Harris died from a cardiac arrest at her home in Invercargill in New Zealand on Feb uary 25, 2010.
Her partner, Christopher Hodgkinson, found her on the toilet, slumped against the wall gasping for air.
Coca Cola argued the huge quantities of Coke that Harris drank every day could not be proven to have contributed to her death.
However in findings released on Tuesday, coroner David Crerar said the mother-of-eight would not have died if it wasn't for her dependence on the drink, the Sun reported.
