2016! The Year of Movies!


2015 was, without a sliver of doubt, A Huge year for Movies! We, the fans, got a lot of good movies to watch and the Moviemakers made bucket loads of money. How much money? Well, A LOT of Money. Think about it, For the first time in history, Five Movies grossed more than A Billion Dollars in a single year! The Last Movie of 2015 to cross the Billion-Dollar Mark, also was the one that earned the most.

Now as 2015 has gone and we have just entered 2016, it’s very likely that we have entered a year that could very well prove to be “THE BEST” year for the movies. Having said that, I must also state that When I say best year, I’m not saying in terms of the artistic achievement and breakthroughs. It’s purely based on the fact that this year will, for sure, be a year that will keep coming at us with One Blockbuster after Another. And fans of every single Genres can be assured that they will have something to enjoy.


If you look at the release calendar of the year and make a list of all the movies that are most awaited and are set to set the Box-Off you will see one common thing, We Know Them! Yes! One way or another we know their stories or their ideas. Think about it, We Know Man of Steel who will face our Dark Night. We know our Captain America. We even know Dory and how she forgets. And the ones that are new, we know either know the fictional world/universe they come from or what they are.

Take for example the fact that We don’t know how will Jared Leto’s Joker will be. But we know he is Joker after all, and that is sufficient in itself. You can say we don’t know Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but we know Hogwarts and all their Houses will be there to help us. We don’t know who the hell Rouge one is but we know they will for sure be in a Galaxy Far Far Away.



For the sake of simplicity The Major movies of the year can be categorized in Three categories. Below are the Categories and My picks from each of them.

1 : Movies based on Comic Characters:

These are basically Marvel & DC Movies.  Coincidently or not, both of the studies will have their Superheroes fighting against each other in their Main Ventures. As we all know Batman will face off Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Captain America will be doing the same with Mr Stark in Captain America: Civil War.

While Marvel & DC are busy pitting their heroes against each other, 20th Century FOX has decided to pit their heroes against the First Mutant in X-Men: Apocalypse. Judging by the trailers this one as well as Deadpool seems to be Awesome. We’ll also meet Gambit, Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange.
On a little lighter side we’ll have The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun



2. Reboots, Sequels & Prequels :

Hollywood has never shied away from any opportunity to cash-in on a by making sequels/prequels and reboots. The only way this year is different is in the way that studios are more aggressive. This year we’ll have sequels, prequels and reboots everywhere. The first name that should be on this list is no doubts Ben-Hur, the Legendary classic. Aftre this list is very long. Ghostbusters, Jumanji, Independence Day: Resurgence, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Kung Fu Panda 3. The list goes on and one on and on.

My Pick : Ben-Hur


And the Last Category : Adaptation: 

After achieving success in their own forms, many characters and stories are set to hit silver screen.  Adapting Books and Games into movies is not new, but this year for the first time a Movie will hit the theaters based on a mobile game! Yes The Angry Birds will hit theater this year. Also we’ll see Professor Langdon solve his way out the Inferno.
Also jumping out of Gaming consoles would be Assassin's Creed and Warcraft

Not to miss girls will be going mad for Fifty Shades of Black

My Pick : Inferno




So, in a nutshell, This year is gonna be heavy on Our pockets J

Social networks

My this post is about social Networking site & specially Facebook, so before anything else I want you all to know following facts (If you know it already then that's good ).

*In America facebook is the second most popular site, second only to Google.

*Facebook was started by 3 Guys Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Hughes and Dustin moskovitz, in 2004. Now it has 400million users and about 70% of FB users are outside of USA. Mark zuckerberg himself has an page on Facebook.

*If Facebook.com was declared an country and its users citizens of Facebook, then the population of FACEBOOK country will be the 3rd   highest in the world, i.e. second only to China &; India.

*In 2008 FB had revenue of $300million.
If you want to get latest news & happenings related to Facebook visit www.allfacebook.com.
Facebook as you all may know is a Social Networking Site,and there is no need to say it is very very popular as well as successful (that's why its founder Mark Zuckerberg is a billionaire). Facebook is not the only social networking site out there, in fact there are more than 100 such sites, but it is the most popular and successful one.Other notable social networking site are Myspace, LinkedIn, Orkut and Twitter etc. 
If you want to get the list of other such sites CLICK HERE

I am sure you all have heard of Twitter.com , This is a website that has shown tremendous growth, registered twitter accounts have grown more than 1500% (it means there are 1500 times more account) in last year. Now almost everyone is on twitter be it news channels, celebrities, magazines almost everyone. As you may have seen tweets are being shown on news channels.

 
According to me the most important reason behind the Gigantic success    of  social networking sites is the fact that we humans are social animals. it is  our basic necessity to communicate and socialize, and these sites let us  do exactly  that, we can stay in touch with our friends, we can find our old friends who are no longer in touch with you or you can make new friends from any part of the world.As Internet brought the world closer and made it smaller it was  Social Networking sites gave us a tool to get in touch with some otherwise unreachable people, For example now you can easily create an Twitter account and after that you can read know what your favorite Actor is feeling or thinking right NOW.

 Basically all social networking website let user communicate with other users in a more interactive & personal way other than that they also  let users do some or all of these things as well,

1:-They lets users create & maintain  online profiles that can be viewed by other users .
2:-  users can become  friend, fan or follower (whatever the term may be) of other users.
3:-User who are friends can create groups or communities where like minded guys/gals can meet.
4:-users can upload photos, music and videos.

Although all the social networking sites provide same services we all know that there are some which are liked my most(like Orkut in India & Brazil and facebook in the whole world), the reason of this is not very hard to understand if you youself try out few of them you will find some of them to be better than others.

Social networking sites are not just for fun there are infinite possibilities of what can be done one fine example was the My Obama campaign.
But the most important thing these sites do is that they bring people together & gives people a channel to stay in touch noi matter where they or we are.
