Can You Spot The 50 Hidden Movie Titles In Daily Mail’s Blockbuster Quiz?
It’s a slow week for pretty much everyone, as we recover from the heavy drinking of Christmas and New Year’s. So even if you don’t have the day off, pretend you’re one of those guys by wasting some time with the “spot the hidden movie title” graphic posted by The Daily Mail.
Lots of watchers had fun naming video game titles in the Arcade Aid game as part of the viral marketing for Tron: Legacy, (Walt Disney Pictures started out an online campaign for Tron: Legacy that led fans to discover FlynnLives.com, HomeofTron.com, and Flynn’s Arcade in San Diego where fans got to see the Light Cycle up close. ) but let’s face it, video games are not exactly our all that and a bag of cookies (though we do enjoy playing them from time-to-time). So why not have a shot at naming a whole slide of movies with nothing but single image hinting at a total of 50 films?
Tron: Legacy Review
Tron: Legacy almost operates as a litmus test for how much we will tolerate in our tent-pole filmmaking. Just how much bad dialogue, poor acting, inexplicable plotting, and emotionally-vapid characterizations will we accept as long as we’ve been convinced that the film is “cool”? How little actual content will we demand in exchange for $300 million light shows disguised as motion pictures? We casually accept seemingly intentional mediocrity in our franchise films, from The Flintstones to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, holding our nose but making these films into smash hits.
I am reminded of Patrick Stewart’s monologue towards the end of Star Trek: First Contact. “The line must be drawn here. This far, and no further.” If we as moviegoers accept this artless, soulless confection as a suitable example of big-budget filmmaking, then we deserve everything we get in the following years. The apparent absence of any attempt at quality renders even the (only occasionally) pretty pictures impotent and dull. And make no mistake; Tron: Legacy is a stunningly dull would-be movie…read more [The Huffington Post]

Walt Disney Pictures has released the third, and possibly final, trailer for Tron: Legacy, heavily-promoted, highly-anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 original.
Synopsis:
Tron: Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.
