Top 5 Most Popular Torrent Sites

I was trying to look for best torrent indexer sites where I can have a good source of downloadable movies for the weekend. And here below are the top 5 most popular torrent sites I got.

  1. isoHunt.com. This torrent indexer site is one of the sites I’d been checking years back. And it’s good to know that up until now, it is still working good.
  2. ThePirateBay.org. This site is originally founded in Sweden but it has been known much in the entire world wide web because of its peers and seeders.
  3. Torrentz.com. This is a Finland-based torrent indexer but it does good. It has a lot of seeders as well.
  4. ExtraTorrent.com. This torrent indexer site is new to me as well as the proceeding one. I haven’t tried these two sites yet, but reviews said these two are good and are popular as well.
  5. TorrentReactor.net.

Adelle’s “Skyfall” is 007 Soundtrack

 Adelle’s “Skyfall” sets the new James Bond’s adventures for this year.

This basically means that Adelle’s “Skyfall” will be the official sound track of the upcoming movie and new adventure of James Bond, an addition to his 007 films.

I have not personally listened to this song yet, but I think this must be good. I am not a fan of Adelle even if she’ll use pearl flute, but since the production of the 007 films has chosen her and her song, I might as well start liking her songs then.

New Cinema in Town

Correct me if I am wrong but it was still when I was in my elementary years that the cinema and movie theater in our town was operating. That time, every movie shown was doubled with a not-so-popular movie. So every time we watch our favorite movie, we always have the chance to watch any other movie.

Cinema (image source and credits)

Today, with the production of highly-competitive and quality movies from around the world, many from our town are thinking of putting up again new cinemas and theaters to cater both local and international films. This is a good idea since surely, this can benefit the economy of our town.

However, putting up new cinemas is not easy. There are a lot of things to consider especially that the town is not that highly-populated like other towns and cities nearby. And since almost all transactions nowadays are processed using electronics, it is best recommended to use a ticketing software for the said cinema. Before, as far as I could remember it, tickets in the cinema were just manually processed and we need to wait for the long queue before we could buy those tickets. Another thing to consider is the security of the cinema itself. There are many incidences of filming or copying movies inside the cinema so it is suggested to be very strict on the items each clients are bringing inside the cinema.

The spy fiction thriller, Bourne Legacy to film in Philippines, specifically in Intramuros.

This movie will be starred by Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton and was written and will be directed by Tony Gilroy.

Many said that this will surely boost the tourism in the Philippines. Yes! This might be. However, in my personal views, I prefer job opportunities of Filipinos that is beneficial in a long term basis like Sous Chef Jobs or other hospitality jobs. Well then, this filming could surely benefit the country then, in a way or another.
