Two new nuked telecines of Inside Man

Latest thriller of Denzel Washington could be honoured as the most nuked movie of the history. So far, there was a cam and telesync, both nuked. It’s just a few hours since two new telecines of Inside Man appeared, and guess what, they were both nuked as well. In this first case, release group Wrixle published undersized version with bad cropping. The proper from Pukka was also bad, this time with bad AR. This second nuke reason isn’t that serious, so you can try to get it, but may be it will be better to wait few hours for real proper, if something appears…

“Inside Man� is the story of a tough cop, Detective Frazier (Denzel Washington), who matches withs with a clever bank robber, Dalton (Clive Owen). As the dangerous cat-and-mouse game unfolds, a wild card emerges: Madaline (Jodie Foster), a power broker with a hidden agenda, who injects even more instability into an already volatile situation.

Dvdrip of musical comedy The Producers

The Producers is an example of movie which isn’t much known but also isn’t bad – if I remember, there wasn’t any other release of this movie than this dvdrip, may be some crappy cam. Anyway, “The Producers” intoduces Uma Thurman, well-known from Kill Bill in the main role and also some other popular faces are on the place. It may be a good choice…

New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he’s visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there’s no accounting for taste…

Hacker busted after hacking university database

A San Diego man who tests the security of computer systems has been charged with hacking into the University of Southern California’s student application system, federal prosecutors said yesterday. Eric McCarty, 25, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted in connection with the June 2005 breach of USC’s online student application system. The incident caused the university to shut down the site for 10 days. The database contained information – including Social Security numbers and birth dates – from roughly 275,000 applicants dating back to 1997, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Zweiback said evidence obtained on McCarty’s home computer indicated he accessed information on just seven individuals.

A USC official learned of the hacking on June 21, 2005 – the USC applicant site was shut down. A USC official later provided the FBI with records which showed that one particular IP address. There wasn’t a long way from IP to concrete person, FBI agents tracked the IP address to McCarty’s home computer, obtained a warrant and searched his residence in August. The university spent $140,000 to notify by letter all of the people whose information was on the admissions database and alert them to the potential danger. It’s not a good idea to hack unhidden especially if you live in the USA…

Sony reduced the price of PlayStation 2

The opening day for next-gen console PlayStation 3 is drawning nearer and nearer so Sony decided to decrease the price of his actual no.1 product, PlayStation 2. On Thursday, Sony announced that it has slashed the console’s price by $20, from $149 to $129. Since its release in the fall of 2000, more than 100 million PS2 units have been sold around the world. The price change was not unexpected. Gaming experts had predicted that Sony would cut prices on the PS2 before releasing its much-anticipated, next-generation console, the PlayStation 3 (PS3), in November.

Mukul Krishna, an analyst with research firm Frost & Sullivan, said the PS2 price cut might simply represent a desire to clear out old inventory. “Since they are close to the PS3 launch, giving a price cut or discount on the system will help them get rid of as much inventory as they can,” he said. Krishna also said that, whether it is to make room for the PS3 or to attract new users, Sony had to do something immediately following the surprise delay of the PS3, which had originally been scheduled for release during the spring of 2006. The pressure on Sony increased significantly when the company pushed the PS3′s release date back to nearly one year after the Xbox release. Anyway, every saved buck is good for the costumer…

Another stupid & cheap horror: Camp Slaughter

Not much known release group KMS published a new dvdrip of straight to video (STV) horror Camp Slaughter, also known as Camp Daze. Some deep user’s review on IMDB picks apart this piece and really don’t recommend it, but it may be fun for someone…

A group of kids break down while driving down a remote forest road. After a disturbing night alone in the woods, they stumble upon Camp Hiawatha in full swing and packed with seemingly happy teenagers. However, the teens and the camp itself are strangely trapped back in 1981. The clothes, the music, the hair, and the attitudes are 24 years back in time. The campers are forced to relive the same day and night over and over again. The night when a silent killer stalked the camp silencing campers and counselors one by one. The kids from the present struggle to understand and help the teens from 1981 break free of the curse. Working together both time-periods begin to learn about the different worlds from which they come and what it will take for all of them to survive.

Fake Ice Age 2 DVDSCR on Mininova

I got pretty bad morning today – I checked Mininova for new torrents as usual, when I noticed third most downloaded torrent in movies category:

[NewTorrents.info]_Ice.Age.2.The.Meltdown.DVDSCR.XViD-maVen_[www.NewTorrents.info]

I felt there’s something wrong. Although we are bigger team and there are more people who upload our torrents to these torrent directories, this wasn’t this case – this release haven’t ever been released, neither in scene nor on our website. It is just an another case of these fake torrents flooding mininova, as I wrote before. There wouldn’t be nothing strange about it, but the thing is someone used our address and tag and added it with this torrent. This creator of fake torrent also added exactly same comment as we do – link to our website and to this weblog, Releaselog. There’s no way for normal user without access to some PRE bot to recognize whether it’s real thing or just another addition to the row of fake releases, so he will be amazed there’s already DVD Screener of Ice Age 2 and start downloading.

When you start downloading, you recognizes quickly there’s noone with more than 0%, no seeder at all, although the mininova reports over 188 seeders and 1300+ leechers. Tracker used for this cheat is http://tracker1.torrentum.pl:6969/announce, so beware of every torrent being tracked on this address. The only reason why someone does it, is probably to snatch your IP address and then send you some nice letter about downloading illegal content. Please download all files with our tag only from our homepage, where is every single release approved and controlled by our team, so it’s relativelly safe…
