Executing the ol’ smash and grab to perfection, five masked men raided an Apple store in Sagemore, NJ at approximately 2AM on Wednesday, taking with them 23 Macbook Pros, 14 iPhones and 9 iPod Touches in a span of 31 seconds.
Signaling to the guard that they had a gun, the place was empty before he could even cry out for help.
The perpetrators left with at least $40,000 in Apple ware, but the items can be tracked down by their serial numbers if they ever attempt to resell or bring it to one of the company’s genius bars.
Apparently, all you need are four friends, a brick to smash the plate-glass front door and a bit of teamwork to throw Steve Jobs into a tizzy.
This past summer, the big screen brought life to the action figures I used to play with as a kid. This fall, it seems as if the novels I have been reading in my youth are slated for a big-budget screening of their own.
Here are a few coming-of-age films to look forward to in the coming months:
Based on a screenplay by Nick Hornby (About a Boy, High Fidelity), the story centers on a girl who forgoes her Oxford dreams in favor of a whirlwind relationship with an older man. When all seems too good to be true, she hits a brick wall (deservedly so).
If you were enamored by “Paris, Je Taime,” this collection of vignettes crosses over the Atlantic with a similar formula in mind. The shorts don’t exactly tie in together but will have one unifying theme: the search for love.
Based on the children’s book by Maurice Sendak, director Spike Jonze finally gets to show the world what he’s been working on for the past decade. I have a feeling I’ll find a lot of people in Max costumes this Halloween. It will be like the old days when all your friends would come to school dressed up as the Power Rangers.
Starring Michael Cera (Juno, Year One), this big-screen adaptation of C.D. Payne’s novel is about a 16-year-old’s mission to lose his virginity with a girl he meets on vacation at a trailer park. Based on Cera’s previous performances, I’m predicting that things are going to get pretty awkward.
Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson pick up where they left off in this sequel to the popular vampire trilogy. This time, the love triangle switches over to Stewart and Lautner, causing a stir in the centuries-old battle between vampires and werewolves.
