Director: Daniel Stamm
Stars: Patrick Fabian, Ashley Bell, Iris Bahr (Full Cast)

The Plot: A troubled evangelical minister (Fabian) agrees to let his last exorcism be filmed by a documentary crew, where a possessed young (Bell) brings him face to face with the devil himself.

Eli Roth (in producer mode here) and Lionsgate are testing the Paranormal Activity theorem here: can you turn a low-budget horror/thriller with no stars into a hit? Director Daniel Stamm caused a minor genre stir back in 2008/2009 with A Necessary Death; screenwriters Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland are back in theaters on September 10 (as co-directors) with a completely different project, The Virginity Hit, and we think they had something to do with this viral video. Funny or Dead?

he heart rate should have been at least 180 - 200 for the scene to make sense (It is also hard to explain how the ECG trace could be obtained with only one lead, the other one being unplugged). Ventricular fibrillation would also have been a credible cause of near-death, but it is ruled out by the rhythmic ECG trace shown. When James Bond performs CPR on Vesper her chest does not rise at all during mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. However, this is because her lungs are full of water. When James finds Vesper sitting in the shower, she says "It's like there's blood on my hands and it's not coming off" but her lip movements do not match what she's saying.

The Plot: A hard-boiled detective (Dillon) gets in between a group of bank robbers and their plan to make away with a $20 million bounty.

Matt Dillon is back on the right side of the law after Armored, but the real question here is: How do you promote a movie featuring one currently incarcerated musician/actor (T.I.) and post-Rihanna Chris Brown, whose fame allotment has been nearly drained. Suddenly, heist movies don't seem fun anymore.

Shouldn't it be 1968? When Frank Jr impersonates the substitute French teacher in order to take revenge on the bullies who bumped into him in the hallway, he shouts for order in the classroom then asks which chapter the previous teacher left off on. Frank Jr then opens his book up to the correct page, and after embarrassing one of the bullies by making him read out loud, he begins to walk to the front of the room. When he is in the aisle in the classroom, he holds the book open as he walks.

Scott Pilgrim and Elizabeth Gilbert might find themselves defeated by a handful of old guys this weekend. My only questions here: Why did Sylvester Stallone not turn this screenplay into Rambo V? And who thought the name Barney Ross sounded tough?

When Moochie is running from Christine he briefly loses sight of her. He stops running, turns around and takes a few steps backwards while glancing down to make sure he stops at the spot they marked for him. Towards the end of the film as Dennis is on crutches and can hardly walk, he gets in through the window of the garage where Christine is usually kept to confront Christine in the bulldozer. After he drops in, he is clearly seen then running to let the girl in from the outside. When the neighbor kids are singing "Keep Christmas With You" at Bob's apartment, the Afro-American boy's cardigan is buttoned/unbuttoned between shots.

Director: Ryan Murphy
Stars: Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem, Viola Davis (Full Cast)
Studio: Columbia Pictures

The Plot: While trying to get pregnant, a happily married woman (Roberts) realizes her life needs to go in a different direction, and after a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey.

While Liz Gilbert liberates herself on her globe-spanning trip, Julia Roberts might be feeling the pressure to deliver a major box-office hit, since Sex and the City 2 derailed the momentum earned by Mamma Mia!, Julie & Julia, and other "women's films". Still wondering what attracted subversive writer/director Ryan Murphy ("Glee", "Nip/Tuck") to the project, but I'm more curious whether Ms. Robert's let actual mosquitoes feast on her in India.

Will Murphy + Roberts reunite for a second movie? They are both attached to an untitled romantic comedy where an executive learns to readjust to life at home with her kids after losing her job -- sort of like if Danny Moder became the breadwinner of the Roberts household.

The scene cuts to her leaving the store where she now has her purse. In the racing scene the driver of the white car is quite active at the steering wheel while the car keeps going straight forward. At the end of the scene, she pulls the steering wheel to the left while the car moves extremely to the right side. In the opening bar sequence a boom can be seen in shot. When Todd escapes from the house he has no jacket on, then he runs to the car he has on a jacket, but later does not have it on when he is a zombie. The camera's reflection can slightly be seen in the mirror behind Tony in the kitchen of the cultist house. When Barbara looks inside the Jeep with the corpses of the guys killed at the beginning, you can see that the girl is moving, and the guy is breathing. In the beginning of the movie when the people get killed inside the Jeep, there is blood all over the interior, but later, when the police are investigating the scene, there is noticeably less blood on the inside of the windows.

The Plot: A spoof of vampire-themed movies, where teenager Becca finds herself torn between two boys. As she and her friends wrestle with a number of different dramas, everything comes to a head at their prom.

I feel like if you're the type of person who eye-rolls every time you hear the names Bella or Edward, but you wind up shelling out for a spoof comedy from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer - who share the honor of having three movies in the IMDb Bottom 100 - then the joke is really on you?

Other:

When the group of Pentecostal Evangelical inmates are shown, they are joining hands praying the "Lord's Prayer". However, they are reciting the Portuguese words of the Roman Catholic version, which differs from the Protestant version in the use of pronouns and verb tenses. The inmate kissing the posterior of Rita Cadillac during her performance is wearing a jersey for the Carolina Panthers, an American (NFL) Football team. That franchise hadn't even been granted yet in 1992 and thus didn't have a name, logo, or uniform design. (At 81:00) When Ranuccio confesses about his crime, there is a truck behind Caravaggio.

The Plot: Dom Cobb (DiCaprio) is a thief who specializes in the art of extraction, the stealing of secrets from a target's subconscious. Though his profession cost him everything he has ever loved and has turned him into a fugitive, an offer for a final job -- one that requires him to plant an idea instead of pilfering it -- could be his chance at redemption.

Our founder has already called this "the movie of the decade".

When the SWAT team arrives to rescue Mr. Shirley, the entire Griswold house is dark, yet the whole family is inside with all the lights on, but they are not shining through any of the windows. Even when the SWAT team breaks through the windows they are dark, yet the second they arrive inside the house, it is still well lit. When the squirrel is in the house Clark says that Eddie usually eats them. Catherine says he stopped since they have high cholesterol. In fact, like most wild game, squirrel meat is very low in cholesterol. Clark Griswold's Ford Taurus station wagon is shown to have exterior wood paneling, an option that was never available on this car.

The Plot: Detectives Allen Gamble (Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg) might not be New York City's finest, but when they discover a path that leads directly to one the city's biggest criminals, they seize the opportunity to become supercops.

Will Ferrell looks to put Land of the Lost behind him with a can't-miss late-summer comedy directed by his best handler, Adam McKay. Though New York City wasn't so kind to Ferrell the last time around. Funny that this will be the movie to topple Inception from its position atop the box-office.

Cora Flange's voice can be heard as part background chatter of the pre dinner scene, even though Vic Flange had previously left her to get ready in the previous scene. When Pepe runs into the hotel after seeing the coach approaching there is no table or chair beside the doors. But as he comes out to greet the guests a table and chair have appeared. Cora Flange says to Vic Flange, when other guests are sunbathing outside the hotel just before it rains, "Don't bother to ask me if I'd like a chair", a microphone can clearly be seen in the bottom left hand corner. (This is removed on the DVD version) The coach used to transport the guests to the Hotel has a British registration number plate on the front and a Spanish one on the rear. When the British plane is seen in the sky, the first shot shows the plane in a cloudy sky but in the next shot the sky is clear and a shoreline is visible. When Cora Flange moves her hands up and down to simulate an aeroplane in the pub, in the very next shot a cloth has appeared in her hand, she is cleaning ashtrays and she moves from one side of the bar to the other.

With Mrs. Green's children waging a personal war with their two spoiled cousins, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach the kids five important new lessons.

A sequel? Surely. While the original Nanny McPhee wasn't a textbook blockbuster, it earned over $100 million in theaters (worldwide) on a reported budget of $25 million. Maybe Nanny McPhee teaches economic lessons to the farm kids here.

The Plot: An unmarried 40-year-old woman (Aniston) turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant. Seven years later, she reunites with her best friend (Bateman), who has been living with a secret ...

I don't know if audiences avoided The Back-Up Plan because of the movie's theme or its star, but, when compared to The Switch, at least Jennifer Lopez's adventures in conception was marketed by its studio. No offense to anyone at the recently sold Miramax, which is a bit rudderless as the company transitions away from its Disney handlers to its new owners. Hopefully Jennifer Aniston's celebrity and Jason Bateman's cult audience will be enough to grow the awareness for this foul-mouthed and potential crowd-pleaser from the dudes behind Blades of Glory. Will Jennifer Aniston swear on film again?

At the end of the seaside picnic, before Caractacus begins telling the pirate story, Truly ties the picnic basket onto the back of the car. The basket is absent as the car cruises on the water, but reappears when they drive out. Before the pirate story, we see the car parked in different places on the beach. When the zeppelin is carrying the privy, the zeppelin appears to be moving much faster than the privy during close up shots of the flight deck of the zeppelin and the privy.

The Plot: After a tremor under the surface of Lake Victoria unleashes scores of prehistoric piranhas, a group of strangers under the direction of the local sheriff (Shue) band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food.

From now on, if you're going to remake a movie, it has to be in 3D. Oh, and the original has to be bad. And by bad, we mean terrible. Elsewhere, Richard Dreyfuss returns to scary waters in what might be the best cheapie horror flick casting since Betty White in Lake Placid (but let's hope the supporting players and cameo appearances don't end with Christopher Lloyd or Eli Roth). Other questions: Is Alexandre Aja embracing his camp side? Will this level of gore make it to the big screen intact?

The next seen it has completely disappeared off her head and she is seen picking it up off the chair when she walks off. When Sam is escaping the Sky Ranch with E. Johnson, Melanie Griffith's character, he is shown lighting a gas can with a rag coming out of it on fire. The first scene the fire is 3/4 the way up the rag and in the next scene it is at the very bottom. In the opening scene, Stacy is sure to lock the door. As the camera shows the door by itself, it is clearly unlocked. In the opening scene when Stacy is in the background watching her boyfriend being attacked, she changes position between shots.

Cheap Silverlight 4 Hosting :: Configure an AuthenticationDomainService using Ria Services Class Library

dotnetgeek — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:31:00 GMT

Today, we will explain brief tutorial about configure an AuthenticationDomainService using RIA services. We hope that we can give the best explanation that we can do. Please enjoy this tutorial.

Using a Ria Services Class library to collect DomainServices and DomainContexts in a solution is a good practice because everyone know the value of having classes separated in projects instead of having them in the web project.

To workaround to this problem you may simply write by hand this class and put it in the client side part of the Ria Services library project. The code can be copied by an AuthenticationDomainContext generated in the web project but it is very simple and we show you the code here:

public sealed partial class RiaContext : System.Windows.Ria.RiaContextBase
{
    #region Extensibility Method Definitions

    partial void OnCreated();

    #endregion

    public RiaContext()
    {
        this.OnCreated();
    }

    public new static RiaContext Current
    {
        get
        {
            return ((RiaContext)(System.Windows.Ria.RiaContextBase.Current));
        }
    }

    public new User User
    {
        get
        {
           return ((User)(base.User));
        }
    }
}

With this class you can configure the Authentication Domain Context as you did with the generated class. So you have to add it to the App.config, in the ApplicationLifetimeObjects tag and then add a kind of authentication like the WindowsAuthentication and FormsAuthentication.

The second drawback is that if you run the project this way and then you call the Login() method (or any other method) of the RiaContext you will get an error:

The DomainContextType is null or invalid and there are no contexts generated from AuthenticationBase<T>

This probably come from the fact that the RiaContext is not correctly initializated so when the class search for a valid domaincontext to handle the Login call it fails because it does not find it. The tip to correct this behavior is to specify the DomainContext property in the Authentication you have choosed. Here is how to change the App.xaml file:

<Application.ApplicationLifetimeObjects>
    <slpgria:RiaContext>
        <slpgria:RiaContext.Authentication>
            <appsvc:FormsAuthentication>
                <appsvc:FormsAuthentication.DomainContext>
                    <slpgdc:MyAuthenticationDomainContext />
                </appsvc:FormsAuthentication.DomainContext>
            </appsvc:FormsAuthentication>
        </slpgria:RiaContext.Authentication>
    </slpgria:RiaContext>
</Application.ApplicationLifetimeObjects>

As you can see you have simply to give an instance of the generated Authentication Domain context class to the FormsAuthentication (or Windows Authentication as well). The RiaContext need to have this instance to make the calls to the BL methods in the Domain Service.

Cheap SSRS 2008 Hosting :: Hacking the SQL Server 2008 R2 AdventureWorks Installer

dotnetgeek — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:07:00 GMT

Problem:

Solution:

1. Enable FILESTREAM for SQL Server 2008 R2

You do this by navigating to the SQL Server Configuration Manager and select the SQL Server Services on the left side of the window.

On the right side, navigate to the SQL Server 2008 R2 Instance (for me this is SQL2008R2) and right-click and choose Properties.

From the Properties menu be sure that the Enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL access check box.

2. Hack the install file

Change the Adventure Works Database Installation file by renaming the file from AdventureWorks2008R2_NovemberCTP.exe to AdventureWorks2008R2_NovemberCTP.zip Using an unzip utility program, extract the files into any directory. Once you have extracted the files, you will see something similar to that following screen shot.

Inside the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th folders are the installation scripts and .csv files that are used to fill the tables.Each folder has a file called instawdwdb.sql.

For now, open the AdventureWorks 2008R2 Data Warehouse folder.

3. Open and set SQLCMD Mode

From the AdventureWorks 2008R2 Data Warehouse folder open the instawdwdb.sql file using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and then set Management Studio to run in SQLCMD Mode.

To set this mode, go into the Query menu and select SQLCMD Mode.

4. Set Install Variables

Change the variables to use the correct DatabasePath and SourceDataPath.
You will see some code that is commented out ...

-:setvar SqlSamplesDatabasePath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\"

--:setvar SqlSamplesSourceDataPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Samples\"

You will need to uncomment these lines by taking out the "--" (be sure to leave the colon ":") and change the value to the appropriate paths per your installation.

SqlSamplesDatabasePath - this should be your path to where you want the datapath for your .mdf and .ldf files.
SqlSamplesSourceDataPath - this path should be the directory that you extracted the installation files.

5. Run the Script against the Master Database6

Repeat steps 1-5 for the AdventureWorks 2008 LT folder7.) Repeat steps 1-5 for the AdventureWorks 2008 OLTP. You can see that it works.

Cheap SSRS 2008 Hosting :: Centralize and Control Data Access in SSRS 2008 R2

dotnetgeek — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:45:00 GMT

Here is the problem:

Reporting is a common and frequent requirement of any business practice and often reports are developed by business users as well as the IT department of the organization. Data Source and Data Sets are two major entities used in any report development using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) whether the report is developed using Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) or report builder. To keep a track and control of the data access logic implemented on a report level, it becomes very necessary to centralize access to data from the report server for better maintenance, reducing repetitive efforts and efficient use of resources. In this tip we would take a look at how we can address this using SSRS 2008 R2 and BIDS.

How to fix it:

Use of Shared Data Source and Shared DataSets in report development can help to centralize data access using SSRS 2008 R2. Shared Datasets is a new enhancement introduced in SSRS 2008 R2 version, and we will take a look at how this can be implemented and how this can help to improve the reuse of existing logic. We will be using the term report level dataset or data source and shared dataset or datasource frequently in the discussion ahead. By report level data source or dataset, it means a dataset or data source that is embedded in the report and is available only to the report in which it is created. Also please keep in mind that this article assumes some working level of knowledge of SSRS.

To get an idea of the problem in question, follow the below steps to create an exercise which will help us get a view of the problem in question.

1. Create a new SSRS project using BIDS and name it something relevant.

2. Create a shared data source as shown in the below screenshot, by right-clicking the Shared Data Sources folder in the solution explorer pane and selecting Add New Data Source.

3. Create a shared dataset as shown in the below screenshot, by right-clicking on Shared Datasets folder and selecting Add New Dataset. Keep in mind that shared datasets can be created only from a shared data source and they have the extension of ".rsd".

4. Create three different reports named SharedRep1, SharedRep2 and SharedRep3.

5. In SharedRep1 report create a dataset from the Shared Dataset as shown in the below screenshot. As you will be creating a report level dataset from the shared dataset, you will not be required to create an embedded data source at the report level.

6. For SharedRep2 report, create a report level data source from the shared data source and a dataset embedded at report level from the same. And for SharedRep3 report, create a data source and dataset at the report level. After you have done this, the report data pane should look like the below screenshot. Sections marked as 1, 2, and 3 represent the Report Data section of reports SharedRep1, SharedRep2 and SharedRep3 respectively.

7. Add some data on the report and deploy this solution on the report server. Navigate to the report manager and you should be able to find your reports, a folder named Data Source and Datasets. Navigate to the Shared Data Source which we have named "SharedDS" and you should be able to see options as shown in the below screenshot.
