I used to be a huge gaming aficionado, but during these past few years something happened that dramatically diminished my interest for video games, something that to this day I’ve yet to figure out what it was. Who knows, maybe I grew up, although highly unlikely – trust me. I barely play a few times a year now, and even then a few hours with buds or at dorm LAN parties. However, this latest installment…
I’m not really a fan of the whole Guitar Rock/Rock Band gimmick. I don’t know, I guess I’ve never found any fun or joy in the games, even though everybody plays them. I’m not gonna go around making hypocritical remarks like “learn to play a real instrument,dude!” or “Metallica on Rock Band? You guys are so fucking selling out all over again,” it’s just that the concept of having a controler with four buttons which…
Today, I’ll be reviewing Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of North America, a movie whose long and drawn-out title should say it all, but in case it doesn’t, I’ll explain a little: it is a movie that follows the struggle of two battle-weary Norse warriors to rejoin the rest of the exploring party following a massive battle against Native Americans. My first impression after reading the back of the packaging was one of anticipation. After…
Maurice Sandak’s brief, but brilliant children book “Where the Wild Things Are” turned into a global hit from the moment it got to library shelves, still remaining popular to this day. Surprisingly or not, a full length picture based on the picture book is scheduled for release this fall, and judging from the early graphics and teasers of the movie, it’s going to be one hell of an adventure for both kids and adults alike….
I’m a really big fan of the X-Men series, be it the original Marvel comic books or the awesome movies that followed, so, naturally, one of my most expected movies for 2009 is, without a doubt, the latest movie in the franchise, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, that unravels the mystery behind the impenetrable mutant. I just saw the movie’s trailer, after a friend past it along via IM, and it’s pure awesome! I won’t spoil the…
We’re all big fans of LOST, the TV series aired by ABC, and seeing how the show is nearing the premiere of its fifth season, enthusiasm is floating in the air. I like its intelligent and psychological nature, being made with an intricate plot, a heck load of twists (maybe too many) hand a lot of complex characters. It’s a bit too Sci Fi at times and the twists can be really frustrating, these being…
Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Rob Stefaniuk, a dime a dozen producer, is set to write and direct a movie called – get ready for this – ‘SUCK,’ which will, apparently, star Alice Cooper, Moby, Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins, alongside Malcom McDowell (Heroes, Halloween) and Jessica Pare. The movie’s plot is fairly simple: a band of vampires that rock! The whole movie wants to be a fun satire, in which a group of…
Boy, oh boy. Folks, there’s a new Quantum Solace trailer on the horizon and let me tell you that from these short, but intense, 2 minutes this is gonna be a one heck of a ride. I mean the franchize has really gonne to a whole different level once Craig joined in as Bond. He definitely adds a lot of depth and feel into the character; definitely the best Bond ever. Btw for those of…
Possibly the best musical of the year Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. Sounds a bit cliché, all the main theme has be made, remade and regurgitated thousands of times, but here’s where the real magic kicks in: the events and plot itself is shown in such a…
I’ve been a big fan of the comic book series, since I was a little kid. When I first heard at the begging of the summer that a Iron Man movie was in the works I was ecstatic, to say the least, but at the same time skeptical, I’ve seen a lot of Marvel comics film adaption in my life that went terribly wrong (i.e. Hulk, Daredevil etc). After seeing this trailer I’ve gotta tell…
