Movie’s Future Sneakers might become Reality

Frank Marshall, producer of the movie "Back to The Future", tweeted, "Going to need a lot of hoverboards." and linked to a YouTube video posted by Nike called McFly's Closet.

Shelves upon shelves of unreleased Nike Air Mags, which bear a striking resemblance to Marty McFly's famed shoes: the cool sneakers that laced up automatically, is shown in the video.

Nike added to the excitement late last night by handing out gift bags of metal shield glasses, a Pepsi bottle from 1985, and a copy of "Back to The Future" at an invite-only event in Los Angeles. Social media are now in a tizzy over the rumored shoes. On Twitter, "Back to The Future" started trending worldwide overnight.

Movie Review: Contagion

The film was produced by Warner Bros. and Participant Media. Overseas, the movie is opening this weekend in a few small foreign markets, including Italy.

Less a thriller than a fascinating study of a global health crisis, the film tracks a mysterious, aggressive virus that infects corporate exec Beth (Gwyneth Paltrow) during a Hong Kong business trip. (Paltrow haters, rejoice: She's among the first to succumb and doesn't belt a country song before croaking.)

The contagion quickly spreads across all borders, fueled by countless human interactions, and explodes into a full-blown pandemic. As the death toll escalates, researchers scramble to decode the mutating biological pathogen, develop a vaccine, and administer it to the freaked-out populace.

Thankfully, Contagion avoids the silliness and literal monkey business of that '90s Ebola movie Outbreak. Working with cool, muted tones and a driving techno score, Soderbergh credibly, soberly details the world government's response and public's widespread panic: the quarantines, the protests, the looting, the ghostly empty airports, etc. There's even an activist vlogger (a snaggletoothed Jude Law) who develops a huge, um, viral following by disseminating conspiracy theories.

Still, after exiting the theater, you'll vow to never touch anyone—or your own face—ever again.
