Notable Torrents

Sunday, December 16, 2007

I'm a Bit Torrent fanatic, because where else can you expect to have such a huge library of movies and music for your download at any time of the day? Today, I have some nice torrents that I want to share and here they are:

Butterfly on a Wheel / Shattered (US)
I read about this movie from Wikipedia, and it sounds pretty intrigueing. It stars Pierce Brosnan, Maria Gello and Gerald Butler, but the ex-James Bond star attracted me to it. I never did give consideration to who stars in the movie in the past, but now that I have become a movie afficionado, that seems to be a pretty important criteria. I still base my decision to watch a movie based on the premise and the storyline, but if a well-known actor is in it, I might just watch it, for that reason alone.

Anyway, the whole plot revolves around the bad guy (Brosnan) psychologically torturing a couple in a cat-and-mouse game. There's supposed to be a twist in the end, so I'll leave it to you to find out what it is. It did pretty well with an IMDB rating of 7.3/10.

The meaning of the movie's title is actually:

"It can be taken as referring to putting massive effort into achieving something minor or unimportant, and alludes to "breaking on the wheel", a form of torture in
which victims had their long bones broken by an iron bar while tied to a cartwheel."


So, that's quite a relevant title then. But I wonder why they dumbed it down to Shattered for the US audience. Perhaps in the US market, nobody cares about a movie if it has more than three words in the title.

Eureka: Small town, big secrets.
This is actually a series on the Sci-Fi channel, revolving around a town filled with smart-people, created by the government in order to advance scientific research. It's a pretty quirky show sometimes, with a mix of comedy, action and suspense. A good Sci-Fi series at the very least. Seasons 1 and 2 are already out, and I highly recommend it to everybody.

The Lost Room
Another Sci-Fi show, this time a three-part miniseries. It has an incredible 8.4/10 over at IMDB, so it's a must watch even if you're not a fan of science fiction themed shows. In short, the plot outline is about a couple of detectives investigating a motel room which turned out to be a portal for an alternate universe. Kinda like John Cusack's 1408 (another nice show). A surreal show, and definately a must-download.
