A Million Ways to Die in the West review

A Million Ways to Die in the West, review – Seth MacFarlane's first novel 



Rarely does a debut novelist arrive with such a pedigree as the writer, director, animator, producer and principal voiceover artist of Family Guy, American Dad! and several other cartoon series, as well as of Ted, the highest-grossing adult comic film ever made. Seth MacFarlane is also the highest-paid television writer in history, having bagged a $100m contract with Fox. 

He can now add novelist to that crammed CV, but he does so with a very strange book. It is a comedy western, for a start, and there are not many of those around, thank God. It is also, oddly, a spin-off, being the novelisation of a forthcoming film, co‑written and starring MacFarlane in his first acting role (another string to his ludicrously thick bow). 

A Million Ways to Die in the West 



In the film, MacFarlane plays the hero, Albert Stark, a lily-livered coward who is completely out of place in the wild west of 1882. Albert is permanently terrified, and with good reason. "We live in a terrible place and time," he laments. "Everything that's not you wants to kill you. Outlaws. Angry drunks. Scorned hookers. Hungry animals. Diseases. Major injuries. Minor injuries. Indians. The weather." Basically, Stark is a modern guy teleported to 19th-century Arizona, coming up against the grim realities of the olden days and being all, like, "Eew". 

Albert's cowardice has helped to keep him alive, but it costs him the love of his girlfriend, who runs off into the arms of the owner of the local moustachery. Help comes from the unlikely source of a stranger in Albert's one-horse town – Anna, a glamorous, mysterious moll. Albert and Anna share a 21st-century vocabulary and bafflement at the awfulness of their times, but when they fall in love it is for no apparent reason other than the narrative's demand. 

Alas, Anna is already betrothed, and, even more alas, to Clinch Leatherwood, the deadliest outlaw in the west. In a very strange scene towards the end, Albert prepares for the inevitable high-noon duel with Clinch by consulting the local Apaches, who give him drugs which send him on a 10-page psychedelic trip. It is a weird digression to an oddly jerky storyline, but by far the strangest feature of this novel is that it is almost entirely unfunny. Just why that should be isn't immediately obvious. The basic anachronistic premise is terrific. MacFarlane obviously has an excellent ear. And I can quite see how some of the scenes might be genuinely amusing in the film – those set in the local brothel, for instance, where Albert's best friend is a shy, sweet suitor conducting a shy, sweet, celibate romance with a shy, sweet and very busy prostitute. But, like the rest of this book, I had to plough through those brothel scenes with the glum doggedness I usually reserve for tax returns.

Watch 2014 FIFA World Cup on PC and handheld devices

Summary: The 2014 World Cup is coming on June 12, Do you already excited for it? At this time, you may take out the collection of wonderful the World Cup video, scream for them over and over again! The 2014 World Cup, there will be more exciting moments. This document can help us enjoy the wonderful moment again and again anywhere and anytime.



Recently, the hottest concern, of course, is the upcoming World Cup, each team will try the best for it. Each fan will always pay attention to every game. You are fans of Lionel Messi (Argentina & Barcelona)? World Footballer of the Year four times, Messi is the best on the planet at a distance of players. Hypnotic combination of his ability to defend the skill and speed is unmatched, it often looks as if the ball glued to his feet. Or fans of Cristiano Ronaldo ( Portugal & Real Madrid )? Ronaldo may have less of an influence on games than Messi, but he is stronger and taller than the Argentine, and his goals-to-games ratio similar. Since joining Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, Ronaldo has been a revelation, making the world record outlay of US $ 131 look less outrageous with every hat-trick. His famous stepover is imitated in parks right across the world. I think people who really love football will concern the whole game, and even recall wonderful moments several times, and many of them have captured video to watch again and again in spare time until the next World Cup.

Maybe you record some videos by yourself, only after processing, we can watch them smoothly. If we download the video from internet, which always have a lot of commentary or ads which impact on watching videos, especially for the World Cup video, the ads may affect our mood. More importantly, we shoot a lot of videos: their formats are .MTS, .MOV, .MXF, which can't be supported by most of the edit software or the player, like Canon Legria HF G30 camcorder who makes .mts files with lpcm sound. Pinnacle Studio does not support this formats, so we need to convert them into another format like MP4, M4V.

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is the best tool for you. It can convert video to more than 200 formats with the best quality and speed. And you can edit your video to make it to your personal movie by trimming video length, cropping video size, splitting large video into segments and you can add watermarks for your video. Moreover, you can convert the World Cup video to the handheld devices, which can allow you watch them anywhere and anytime. (Do not get too excited in public, oh, otherwise you will give strange eyes.)

Tip: If you want to convert Video to M4V, you can try Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac, it is a version for Mac.

According to the following steps to enjoy every exciting moment

Step 1: Install and run this Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate, you can load the video form "File > Add Video/Audio".

Step 4: Just click the "Convert" to start editing and converting video. Complete the transformation, you can play video on your pc or transfer video to your devices like Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from PC.

Tip: Here is the step for how to transfer video to Galaxy Note 10.1 from PC.

Step 1: Download Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 driver on line.

Step 2: Make sure you have installed all your USB drivers for connecting Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with your computer.

HTC One E8, or One (M8) Ace



The HTC One (M8) Ace we’ve been seeing around has been officially unveiled, and is known as the One E8 in China.

The spec sheet for the HTC One E8 reads like any other modern flagship, housing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and Android 4.4. Sense 6.0 makes an apprearance, naturally, and a 5MP camera sits up front. Those Boomsound front facing speakers we love so much also pop up, and the device is LTE compatible.

The website doesn’t list the screen size, but it’s likely the same 5-inch display we find on the One (M8). Pricing is also a mystery at this point, but the plastic shell should jettison more than weight — the price should be a touch lower than the One (M8), which would undercut the competition severely. Right now, it’s not known if this device will make its way outside of China, so we’ll patiently wait on word of the US variant.

How to play the most popular Blu-ray Disc in May

With war raging in Europe, the Nazis have managed to plunder some of the biggest art collections on the continent. As the Third Reich begins to topple, the German army receives explicit orders that in the event of Adolf Hitler's death, they are to destroy every work of art in their possession. Determined to prevent 1000 years of culture from going up in flames, American president Franklin D.

So what, let's watch X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)


The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original "X-Men" film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from the past, "X-Men: First Class," in order to change a major historical event and fight in an epic battle that could save our future.

The best X-Men movie to date. This film blends the First Class prequel/reboot and the original trilogy very efficiently and brings us a sci-fi action film that is hard not to leave cheering and/or, at the very least, smiling after the ending comes along (even the end-credits scene too). It has all the action, special effects, new and old mutant characters, and intriguing plot-lines you could ask for. It feels very focused and the best thing is that it brings back director Bryan Singer who injects the right amount of emotion and heart into the beloved franchise that he started.

It isn't the first superhero sequel of the summer, but with its massive ensemble cast and time-traveling storyline, X-Men: Days of Future Past might be the most epic. Now that the franchise's seventh installment has hit theaters with a bang, we've updated last week's list to include it, along with a look back at where the franchise has been and how well it's performed with critics.

Android 4.4.2 KitKat Update Being Rolled Out to International Samsung S4 Active

About a month ago, AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 Active customers started getting the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update. After awhile though Samsung and AT&T decided to pull the update until potential improvements were put into place.  We haven’t heard anything from either Samsung or the folks over at AT&T about when the update will be put back into place. While Samsung gets the AT&T Galaxy S4 Active software straightened out, they are looking to take a chance on the International version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active.

Samsung is rolling out Android 4.4.2 Kitkat to the International version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (GT-I9295). Now the rollout of this software update seems to be starting in the Netherlands, but the update should start rolling out to other countries eventually.  Android 4.4.2 brings customers much better device performance along with better battery life on the device. You will also see user interface changes, such as the status bar icon colors being changed to white. Also, users get easier camera controls and music controls on their device. No no word on an official timeline of when you will see the update hit your phone. Users can manually check for the over the air update (OTA) by going to their device’s settings/General/About Phone/Software Update, or if you prefer the wired way, you can plug your device into your computer and fire up Samsung Kies to do the update. The new software version is I9295XXUCNE5 and will appear on your device if the update gets pushed to you.

No word on if this is the same update that was pulled from AT&T devices, but I highly doubt that it is, what a mess that would be.  Hopefully, you will see the update soon and experience the great improvements in Android 4.4.2 right on your Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Let us know in the comments below when you get the update on your device!

How to convert Blu-ray to SBS files

Maybe you are a movie lover, and have many collection of classic Blu-ray discs! I think after this summer, you will have more collection. But if you want to play Blu-ray disc directly, you need a Blu-ray and an external Blu-ray drive and if you want to play 3D Blu-ray, in addition to ensuring that all the devices are connected outside intact, you still need a pair of glasses, for myopia of us, a little unconvenient. If we travel outside and want to watch these movies, we must carry all of them, which may increases the burden on our journey, but also is harm for our collection Blu-ray discs. And now more and more people would rather watch video by phone than on TV or computer, which is very good perspective. With the help of wireless, we more often use mobile phone or tablet instead of computer or TV. But phone and tablet can not play Blu-ray Disc. I think this is the question everyone wants to solve. 



Don't worry! we only need to use third-party software to convert Blu-ray to format file we need, we can transfer video files converted successfully to our various handheld devices, then we can you can play them. But for Blu-ray discs, we are more concerned about how to play 3D Blu-ray and enjoy 3D effects at home. To rip Blu-ray to side-by-side 3D MP4 video, Pavtube BDMagic (Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper) is the best 3D Blu-ray to Side-by-Side 3D ripper to assist you with ripping Blu-ray to side-by-side 3D MP4. Not only that, it can achieve 2D to 3D conversion, that is, if you have no 3D Blu-ray discs, but also can enjoy 3D video effects. its backup function is very powerful, it can full copy the disc and directly copy your Blu-ray discs without any quality loss. With the help of NVIDIA CUDA technology and AMD ? Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP), its conversion speed is very fast. 

The contents below guide you through the process of copying Blu-rays to MKV/MP4 movies in side-by-side 3D format. 

First, free download and install the Pavtube BDMagic on your PC, if you are using Mac, you can download Pavtube BDMagic for Mac, which is version for Mac user. 

1. Load Blu-ray into the best 3D BDMagic. 



Open up the BDMagic, click "Load file(s)" button to load Blu-ray files directly from your Blu-ray disc, this requires an internal or external Blu-ray drive. You can also load a Blu-ray ISO image file or a Blu-ray folder that stored on your computer's hard disk drive. 

2. Select 3D format as output. 

From the Format bar, find "3D Video" catalogue, and choose either "MKV Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mkv)" or "MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)" as output. 



If you want to convert your Blu-ray to your phone or tablet, you can choose other format suported by the devices, and after the completion of the third step, you can transfer the video to your devices. 

3. Start conversion. 

Click "Convert" button to start Blu-ray to 3D MKV or MP4 conversion in side-by-side mode. Once the conversion finished, you are able to get the generated 3D MKV or MP4 files via clicking "Open" button with ease. 

When play the MKV or MP4 side-by-side 3D Blu-ray rips on your LG TV, you may find it comes up as 2 spilt screens, how can you watch it as a full screen? Do as below: 

"Hit the 3D button on your LG remote, a window pops up saying put on your glasses, okay. Another window appears showing your 3D choices: 2D to 3D conversion, side-by-side, stacked, etc. Pick the one that matches, I mean side-by-side. This kind of file doesn't normally have the necessary signaling to tell your 3DTV to automatically switch into 3D mode, so you will have to manually do it. But that should be all you have to do. Also, don't forget putting on your glasses."

2014 Cannes Film Festival


The 67th annual Cannes Film Festival was held from 14 to 25 May 2014. New Zealand film director Jane Campion was the head of the jury for the main competition section. The Palme d'Or was awarded to the Turkish film Winter Sleep directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan.

The festival opened with the long delayed Grace of Monaco, directed by Olivier Dahan and starring Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly, which played out of competition. The restored 4K version of Sergio Leone's 1964 western A Fistful of Dollars, served as the closing night film. Due to European Parliament elections taking place on 25 May 2014, the winner of the Palme d'Or was announced on 24 May, and the winning film in the Un Certain Regard section announced on 23 May. The festival poster featured Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni from Federico Fellini's 1963 film 8½, which was presented in the 1963 Cannes Film Festival's Official Selection, within the Out of Competition section.

Lenovo's Upcoming Vibe Z2 Pro Reportedly Packs A 6-Inch 2K Display And The Snapdragon 801 CPU

Lenovo may not have much of a presence here in the United States right now, at least in the mobile department, but that isn't stopping them from continuing to move forward and put out some ambitious handsets. Lenovo's next device on the way comes packed with some of this years most anticipated specs and hardware that we thought we might see from some other devices. The new Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro hasn't been officially announced by Lenovo yet and the specs are all but officially confirmed as well, but if the leaked information is correct than the Vibe Z2 Pro should end up being a spectacular device.

You can tell from the image showing off the phones display that the phone obviously has dual SIM support. This is something that shouldn't be much of a surprise since this is a device from a Chinese manufacturer that is most likely meant for the Chinese market, a market that supports dual SIM slots often with devices. We can also see the 4G branding stamp on the top right corner meaning this Vibe Z2 Pro should have 4G network support. More importantly though, it seems that the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro is coming to the party with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5GHz inside, and a 2K display to boot. The screen size itself is 6-inches so it really fits more into the phablet category, nonetheless with that screen size and that resolution things should look pretty stunning.

What might be more impressive to some is that Lenovo was able to pack those two aforementioned features along with the 16MP camera with optical image stabilization and dual LED flash, NFC support, and a large 4,000mAh battery inside a svelte 7.7 mm body made of alloy. Since these are just image leaks without any word from Lenovo there obviously isn't any talk of a release date or pricing just yet. We imagine the phone won't be too inexpensive however, given the hardware it's rumored to have on the inside. The Vibe Z2 Pro may also never see any US presence just like past Lenovo smartphones, but it definitely looks to be a nice little phone and that has the potential to give the top contenders some decent competition.

This summer, let's enjoy the DVD/Blu-ray movies any time and any where!

Summer is coming, in addition to cope with stressful exams, we prefer to discuss together how to take over this summer. Everyone has different plans and ideas. Maybe you have enrolled in a summer camp activity? And maybe you have agreed to your good friend to travel with detailed travel plan. But if it turns to me, I might choose to stay away the hot weather and stay at home to watch movies although I'm not a child. May each disc rental shop is a place I visit often, of course, a major film festival is my focus of attention. Like Los Angeles Film Festival, which held annually in June. Presented by Film Independent and the Los Angeles Times. Showcases independent, feature, documentary and short films, as well as music videos. And like Little Rock Film Festivalc, which held annually in the beginning of June. This southern film festival features narrative film, documentary films, short film, panels, and unforgettable events, and so on. 


Of course, the first choice is to buy the favorite movie DVD/Blu-ray discs recently offer and watch them at home or anywhere, like The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug (2013), although already seen go to the cinema, but still want to watch back. Like Frozen (2013), its beautiful scenes and wonderful music in the cinema attracted everyone, so everyone wants to relive this particular scene, especially children. So its disc is very popular. And like The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), the story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop ofa suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. 

So many classic movies! Maybe you want to watch on your journey. But on the way to travel, we prefer to take tablet or phone, do not want to bring our computer which is too big and heavy, and Taking a lot of discs is a very complicated thing, discs are easily be damaged in travel. So Before traveling, we download a lot of movies on our tablet and mobile phones. Well, can we backup our DVD / Blu-ray disc to our handheld devices? Of course, but because almost discs are protected, so before we backed them, we need to use third-party software to break their protection then we can backup. 

Here recommend you a software which has the best evaluation on the market, it is Pavtube ByteCopy, which is a unique product, its supported multitrack features and lossless conversion to MKV, there is no product on the market can replace it. It can help you directly copy your DVD/Blu-ray without extras, which is distinguished at importing the disc. It allow you to choose the subtitle you familiar language and audio track, so there is no worry about no understand the plot without subtitles or the subtitles you can not understand. Simultaneously, with its built-in Video Editor, we can edit our video by ourselves, which is a good idea for us to edit the video to share with our friends and family! 



Tip: If you are mac user, you can try Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac to help you enjoy more and more DVD/Blu-ray discs on your tables and phones.

The LG G3 will be the first smartphone with laser autofocus

Almost everything is known about it, and LG is openly discussing its accessories, but now we've confirmed one final exciting spec for the LG G3: its camera will feature a laser autofocus system. Like HTC's second camera sensor on the One, this laser will detect the depth of the subject you want to photograph and help minimize the time it takes to go from tapping the digital shutter to capturing the photo. Its advantage over optical systems is greater precision and speed, the same reasons why it's used in desktop mice.

Fast and reliable autofocus is a signature part of the iPhone's universal appeal as a cameraphone. Few recent competitors have managed to match it, let alone beat it, but LG might just have a chance now that lasers are involved. Combined with the Korean company's optical image stabilization, the new AF system should make the G3 a very competent device for photographing moving subjects.

13 MEGAPIXELS, OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZATION, AND NOW LASERS

The rear camera on the G3 will have a 13-megapixel sensor while the front-facing camera will provide 2.1-megapixel images. Embracing the trend for selfies, LG is also going to introduce new gesture recognition that will have the G3 take a selfie when you clench your fist in front of it. All the details on the camera and the rest of the G3's specs will finally be divulged by LG at its launch event in London on Tuesday.
