This is kinda cool. Plasmic Studios have created a nice Flash presentation comparing original panels of Watchmen comic pencils to the “live action” movie posters that were created for the upcoming film release in 2009. Ozymandias looks a little scrawny and malnourished, but other than that, the “real” renditions look pretty bad ass.
I can’t wait [...]
With all of the brouhaha over last year’s No Country For Old Men, it’s hard to remember that the Cohen Brothers actually have some chops making comedies. The above trailer for their upcoming film, Burn After Reading, will remind you what it was like to smirk, nay, grin again.
On an anticipation scale of 1-3, I’ll [...]
Variety is reporting that Pirates of the Carribbean director, Gore Verbinski, is attached to direct and produce the Bioshock movie.
“Bioshock” publisher Take-Two Interactive is getting a multimillion-dollar advance against gross points on the pic. It’s believed to be the biggest videogame-to-movie deal since 2005, when U and Fox signed onto the since aborted “Halo” pic, [...]
I’m a big proponent of movie studios releasing the first 10-15 minutes of movies for free on the web. It’s perfect for movies like Speed Racer where I’m on the fence about whether I want to see it or not. Sometimes the trailer just isn’t enough to give you a good idea of the [...]
This year’s Oscars were serviceable if uninteresting. Stewart was good, but not particularly memorable. Which, I guess, is a pretty solid performance. None of the awards got me riled up except for a slight twinge when No Country For Old Men won out over There Will Be Blood for Best Picture. [...]
While 2007 may have been the year of the mouthbreathing movie for me, 2008 is a different story altogether. So far, I’m batting 1.000 with the films I’ve seen in the new year. Charlie Wilson’s War, Juno, and There Will Be Blood were all great films. The latter, though, was something truly [...]
Indulge me as I’m in a list making mood. After the jump I’ll list my lists. They’ll include top tens for music, comics, video games, movies, and television shows. Since I’m too burnt out now to write something for each entry, I won’t. I’ll be happy to conduct a civilized conversation [...]
2007 was pretty lopsided for me in terms of where my quality entertainment experiences came from. It was a phenomenal year for video games. Perhaps the best single year of new releases for the medium since 1997, if not better. Conversely, there just wasn’t much there in terms of great music. [...]
Last Friday, Warner Bros. Entertainment announced that they would become exclusive to the Blu-ray disc format by May of 2008, leaving those in the HD DVD camp high and dry. Warners has been the only “format neutral” major studio for awhile now, although there have been many Warner Bros. movies that were essentially HD DVD [...]
