KILL PROCESS USING COMMAND PROMPT

Task Manager is generally used to kill or end a process in Windows . This method is effective but not nearly as fun as killing a process in Command Prompt. And one more advantage of killing process using Command Prompt provides much more control and the ability to end multiple processes at once.
All of this is possible with the TaskKill command. You can kill a process by the process ID (PID) or by image name (EXE filename).
Open up an Administrative level Command Prompt and run tasklist to see all of the running processes:
C:\>tasklist

Image Name PID Session Name Mem Usage
========================= ======== ================ ============
firefox.exe 26356 Console 139,352 K
regedit.exe 24244 Console 9,768 K
notepad.exe 24696 Console 22,028 K
notepad.exe 25304 Console 5,852 K
explorer.exe 2864 Console 72,232 K
cmd.exe 18664 Console 2,380 K
conhost.exe 2528 Console 7,852 K

In the example above you can see the image name and the PID for each process. If you want to kill the firefox process run:
C:\>Taskkill /IM firefox.exe /F
or
C:\>Taskkill /PID 26356 /F
The /f flag is kills the process forcefully.

The actor whose roles in Punishes :: War Zone and Thor have already earned him a reserved spot at all future comic convention autograph booths, should he ever need to resort to that–has reportedly been added to G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes in the role of Firefly, a villainous sabotage expert and at least the fifth character who’s supposed to be in a mask most of the time. None of the other actors who played villains in the first film are returning for the sequel, so it’s unclear exactly who Firefly will be sabotaging with, but I’m sure they’ll work something out. When in doubt, throw in the guy who dresses up like an actual snake, right?
Thor actor Ray Stevenson has been cast as villain Firefly in Paramount’s G.I. Joe 2: Cobra Strikes. The action movie, to be directed by Jon M. Chu, begins shooting in Louisiana at the end of summer and is slated for release in August 2012.
Stevenson will appear opposite Channing Tatum and Dwayne Johnson in the film, which is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and follows G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, a hit in 2009.
Stevenson’s Firefly is a member of the villainous Cobra Organization and is known as a saboteur, ninja master and explosives expert.
Other than Tatum, Cobra Strikes will feature a new cast; in addition to franchise newcomers Johnson and Stevenson, the film will include Adrianne Palicki, Elodie Yung, RZA and D.J. Cotrona. In this summer’s Thor, which has grossed more than $400 million worldwide, Stevenson played Volstagg, one of the Warriors Three. He will next be seen in Summit’s The Three Musketeers in the role of Porthos. The 3D feature is slated for release on October 21. He is finishing production on Jayne Mansfield’s Car, which is being directed by Billy Bob Thorton and also features Kevin Bacon and Robert Duvall.

Dark Knight Rises(2012)Teaser Poster:More Batman-Shaped Building Destruction


we learn with the Dark Knight’s teaser poster, which featured a building exploded in just such a way as to evoke a certain superhero logo,Christopher Nolan’s preferred method of Batman teasing comes by way of high-rise demolition. Continuing that trend, his time we have got the Batman logo tucked into the skyline of some collapsing buildings, their crumbled remains raining down upon the viewer because, as anyone who’s seen Inception knows, building crumbles are the delicious streusel topping of the Nolanverse coffee cake.
Here’s the full thing:

Johnny Depp Says He Wants To Play Kolchak and Paul Revere

Billion-dollar box office star "Johnny Depp" will potentially star in two very different roles for Disney. I guess things are going well over at the Dark Shadows set, because Johnny Depp is now confident that he should be in even more ’70s supernatural TV series-turned-feature-films (this is now a genre). While Depp is currently working with Tim Burton on bringing the aforementioned ’70s vampire soap opera to screens, now he reportedly wants to star in an adaptation of the 1970s show Kolchak: The Night Stalker, too. The original series spawned from a duo of successful TV movies, and starred Darren McGavin as a detective specializing in the paranormal, with Christmas Story dad investigating into cases involving things like vampires, werewolves, and cavemen unthawed back to life in modern day. Doesn’t that sound just swell for a movie culture currently obsessed with classic monster archetypes and Encino Man? Disney thought so, too, so it’s already going out to writers.
he Oscar-nominated actor was recently heard in the animated film “Rango,” and his “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” recently topped the the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office.
Also on John Depp’s docket: a new telling of the legendary ride of Paul Revere. Apparently inspired by Sarah Palin’s fictionalized take on the story (gotcha, Palin!), Depp and his Infinitum Nihil film banner have already set a Revere film up at Disney, too, and have Lee and Janet Batchler working on a script. It seems Paul W.S. Anderson was not the only one impressed by that pair’s work on the Batman Forever script....
In the end, though, considering both projects are set up at Disney, none of this probably matters. They’ll more than likely just take their Depp idol in  hand, utter the incantation, and command him to put his Pirate costume back on for a couple more of those things. Shame that.
