Marty McFly’s Back to the Future II Kicks Can Soon Be Yours

Back to the Future II director/producer Frank Marshall recently tweeted , “Something big is coming soon. Can’t say anything yet. No one should know too much about their own destiny. #BTTF.” Well, this package from Dr. Emmett L. Brown helps explain: It’s Nike’s upcoming Air Mag shoe, a replica of Marty McFly’s kicks from the first BTTF sequel, that boast self-lacing technology. Put on yer incredulous Crispin Glover bug eyes, because this is pretty wild! More in Buzz Break after the jump.

REVIEW: Warrior, the Tale of Two Rockys, Packs a Potent Emotional Punch

There’s a moment at the end of Gavin O’C onnor’s MMA drama Warrior in which two men who have been relentlessly beaten and pummeled in the octagon stand dripping with exhaustion, rivers of sweat mingling with the tears running down their faces.

Choo-Choo! Here Comes a Killer Adaptation of Anna Karenina!

Lionsgate just announced that Joe Wright, the director of Pride & Prejudice and Atonement , will helm a new adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina written by Tom Stoppard (who wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay of Shakespeare in Love , as well as countless revered plays). I think we’re owed an oversize Tolstoy treat in 2011, don’t you? We can’t subsist on The Last Station for much longer. And wait until you hear who’s set to star.
