When I heard that there was going to be a sequel to How to Train Your Dragon, I was giddy with excitement. I enjoyed the first movie and was could not wait to see what they did with this next chapter in the story. We return to Berk five years after the end of the last movie. […]
The Nights of the Crusades game’s bread and butter is the juxtaposition of a fairly gritty, down-to-earth representation of the historical world during the crusades and just enough of the odd, mystical and supernatural to make it as haunting and frightening as the people of the period thought the world actually was. Your character is […]
Ya know, a lot can be said about a weekend where you watch Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter one night, then follow it up with Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters the next. That’s not to say either film is bad. Quite the opposite – actually, both films were pretty enjoyable fare that I probably don’t ever […]
Man…this film looks all kinds of awesome. From the Amblin logo at the beginning to the feeling throughout the trailer, JJ Abrams is clearly going for geek nostalgia with his newest directorial effort, Super 8. I can see all kinds of 80’s Spielberg, Donner, and Howard influence throughout the trailer…and that’s a good thing. I […]
Nicholas Cage is kind of going through a weird time right now. I remember years ago when him being in a movie was a sign of the movie being at least some kind of quality. Then, at some point, it turned into the realization that these films weren’t actually good…just guilty pleasures. And then they […]
Okay, full disclosure. I just about wanted to kill myself watching the original Tron. I couldn’t remember much about the original Tron, but was given an opportunity to see it a couple of days ago, and jumped at the chance, figuring that it could enhance my viewing of Tron: Legacy, which I’ve been dying to […]
I’m debating this so bad…but I think that my desire to have my name pop up in the credits of a theatrically released movie will far surpass any power I give to my need to save money during the holiday season. Full Moon Pictures, the company behind the Puppet Master and Gingerdead Man series, is […]
Now this is some damn exciting news. Primeval, the BBC series featuring rifts in time that allow both dinosaurs and futuristic monsters to invade modern-day England has been pretty stellar from day one. As the series progressed, we saw major changed to status quo including the deaths and betrayals of almost the entire main cast, […]
The end of a beloved saga is always going to divide fans. Revenge of the Sith (and even Return of the Jedi) have hardcore fans, and hardcore detractors. So do the final Pirates of the Caribbean series, and The Matrix films, amongst many others. It’s just impossible to please everybody. The final Harry Potter novel […]
This week, Jake Gyllenhall and Gemma Arterton take to the big screens in the big-budget Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, based on the best-selling game of the same name. Perhaps the biggest obstacle that our heroes face isn’t the villains of the film, but rather Sex and City 2, also opening […]
