Don’t you hate it when television shows talk down to you? I can’t stand it it when people do, never mind TV. I ask because a few weeks ago iTunes had the entire first season of “House of Anubis” available as a free download. That might still be the case, but just the thought is […]
This is interesting. I always assumed that David Prowse was the only person that played Darth Vader in the various Star Wars films and sequels, though seems that someone else played Vader during the lightsabre duels. That person is Bob Anderson, a Hollywood fencing coach who also worked on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings […]
Twentieth Century Fox is re-releasing George Lucas’s “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” in 3D in 2012, according to The New York Times. Is such a move going to help the current box office slump? This makes me wonder: Is adding another dimension to a pretty mediocre movie really going to make a […]
If this trailer is any indication, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” looks to be moving somewhat away for its cartoonish predecessor, and becoming the “Blackhawk Down” of toy-based action movies. If that makes any sense. That last scene on the cliff face, with Snake Eyes and the red-dressed Cobra ninjas (speaking of which, why would a ninja, […]
Liam Neeson vs. Nature. Nature doesn’t stand a chance.
Many blogs, this one included, have commented upon how difficult it is to understand Bane (Tom Hardy) from the trailers so far released from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises.” It seems that Nolan was aware of the sound problem was well, though the approach he has taken is a somewhat novel one. Here’s […]
I just completed Trine, a side-scrolling video game from Frozenbyte. It revolves around three characters: a thief–clearly the most useful of the characters, a wizard and a warrior. Through some evil magic they are combined into one, so you can use only one particular character at once. The cool thing about this is that the […]
Happy New Year to everyone, and I hope for the best for you and your loved ones. That being said, is there nothing that Steven Spielberg isn’t involved with? I just finished watching “True Grit”–a little bit choppy in the editing department, but otherwise very entertaining–when I noticed that Steven Spielberg was listed as an […]
I had no idea that the rights were being contested, but according to the New York Times, Marvel Entertainment owns the rights to the character, which were being challenged by Gary Friedrich, a freelance writer. It’s probably not a coincidence that Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is coming out February 17 of next year.
Tucker & Dale vs Evil, currently streaming on Netflix, is a horror/comedy with more levels than similar films. It can be taken as a cautionary tale about the perils of prejudging people, or if that goes over your head, then perhaps a story about the perils of making hair-trigger assumptions. Or you can take it […]
