Marty McFly's Nike MAGs from Back to The Future Part II on sale on eBay

Source: FirstShowing.net & NikeMAG.ebay.com Yesterday, we reported that the famous shoes from BTTF2 were going on sale. What we didn't realise was that they were going on sale TODAY. Well, kind of. Nike are selling a 150 pairs a day on their eBay Page, and unless you have $4000+ to spare AND live in the US, you can forget about buying these bad boys. OR, you could wait until 2015 and buy the 'power lace' version Nike are promising to release. Only thing is, reading the FAQs of the Auction, "The 2011 NIKE MAG shoes are not designed or intended for normal wear and use as footwear." which is kind of disappointing. Still though, we can all hope when (if) Nike DO release actual MAG shoes, that they are able to be worn. All proceeds made during this auction with be donated to Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Check out this cool video promoting the shoes starring Bill Hader, NBA star Kevin Durant along with a familiar face from the future.   I have to say, aside from Kevin Durant's horrible 'acting', that was a pretty cool ass clip. Also this, a special message from Michael J. Fox

Kazed Reviews: Super 8 (2011)

So it's a little unfair how the US got to see this baby over two months before the UK folk did, but hey, whatever. It just means that this review is meaningless over in the US, right? Maybe. From the outset, the performances were above spectacular, and I was surprised to find that these were from the children, who led the rest of the cast with their brilliant portrayals of their on screen counterparts. Throughout the film they didn't fail to impress. The first scene in which the kids were rehearsing their little film was amazing. I'm referring to the performance of Elle Fanning, who played Alice Dainard. The reactions to her performance by 'Joe' (Joel Courtney), 'Charles' (Riley Griffiths) and the rest of the crew was the same reaction I had after witnessing that wonderful performance by the young lady. Speaking of the cast, the chemistry between the Fanning and Courtney was incredible; to have such chemistry on screen at such a young age isn't something that you see much these days. The story itself was great. J.J Abrams did a great job of keeping everything under wraps until close the the final quarter of the film when everything was revealed. This, was where we saw the full extent and beauty of the production value of Super 8. It was so beautifully done; nothing over the top, it seemed just the right amount of destruction, chaos and death and all that. There were slight touches of E.T. and Close Encounters tucked away amidst everything, but there were obvious inspirational nods to Spielberg's classic flicks. Abrams delivered an impeccable film with so much packed in it; nostalgic moments, spectacular action scenes, and of course the customary emotional stuff. The references to Cloverfield, Star Trek, and even Lost he put in the film gave me a chuckle, but they provided a sense of "hmm-yeah-that's-cool". Performances: 9/10 Plot: 8/10 Visuals: 8/10 Dialogue: 7/10 Overall: 8.5/10

Brand new trailer for Super 8 (2011)

Check this out, via Twitter, the new trailer for J.J. Abrams new film, Super 8. This looks like something else. Check out the official synopsis from Paramount: In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. 

Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined. J.J. Abrams has a tendency to keep thing under wraps, and this film wasn't an exception. Back in May, the teaser trailer was released, but not much else was known about the film. Only speculation that the film may be related to the 2008 Cloverfield. These speculations were deemed incorrect. Anyway, the trailer looks extremely promising, it's usually difficult to judge a film based on the trailer as I've discussed before, but DAAAYYYYYYYM, this looks like it could impress. Kazed.
