Iron Sky Review: Space Nazis On The Moon? Okay!
No, it’s not Sky Captain…
Well, this is a weird one. In the first moments of Iron Sky, a pair of astronauts land on the moon and as they survey the landscape (sorry, moonscape) they come under fire by moon Nazis. Thus sets off two storylines: a Sarah Palin-esque President of 2018 is mad that her botched moon landing might cost her the election and the simultaneous unveiling of an entire Nazi society that has thrived on the moon since they left the Earth at the end of WWII. Yeah.
A New Trailer For The Hobbit? YES, PLZ!!!
That’s Bilbo, right there in the back…
Before there was The Lord of the Rings, there was a completely different adventure. An adventure born of the same mind, the same pen, the same genius that was J.R.R. Tolkien.
The book called “The Hobbit” laid out many of the events which led up to The Lord of the Rings and showed us many of the characters which would play a huge role in what is arguably the best series of fantasy novels in history. The books which introduced us to elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, trolls, dragons and the grey wizard – Mithrandir, Gandalf.
Yeah, pretty much the most awesome shit EVER!
Did The State Department Ban A Documentary?
U CENSORED MAH DOKUMENTREEZ?!
I’m not sure if this is a true story or if it’s shenanigans so don’t blame me if this whole thing turns out to be a load of hogwash but I got an email today from a shady source which contained a press release claiming that a documentary has been blocked by the U.S. State Department due to its inflammatory nature.
Newgrounds Begins Ad-Free Supporter Buy-In, Can They Best Penny Arcade?
Will Newgrounds’ experiment pick up where Penny Arcade’s fumbled?
You can’t really blame anyone else but Newgrounds, the black-and-gold hub for Flash movies and games, for getting in the spot they’re in. As founder Tom Fulp puts it in his plea to potential supporters, “expenses have grown while our traffic has stayed the same and ad revenue has gone down.” Having scared away virtually every ad network on the planet with the site’s dark themes and, at times, even darker content, Tom and the Newgrounds crew are now hoping that its fans will be willing to support the site directly through a new $25 “supporter” option that will remove ads from the site for a whole year. Sound familiar?
Resident Evil: Retribution Review: More Terrible Fan Fiction from Paul W.S. Anderson
See Alice. See Alice pose.
Every once in a while, I’ll catch Event Horizon or Resident Evil on television and think, “You know, Paul W.S. Anderson gets a bad rap; he’s not that awful.” Then I see a movie like Resident Evil: Retribution, and I’m firmly reminded that, yes, he is that awful. Resident Evil: Retribution is another episode in an unending stream of poorly conceived, stream-of-conscious fan fiction fresh from the mind of cinema’s most highly compensated hack.
Finding Nemo 3D Review: Keep Swimming
“Fish are friends, not food.”
I have a confession to make: For all my love of all things Pixar (except Cars and Brave), I had never seen Finding Nemo until its 3D rerelease this weekend. I’m not entirely sure how I managed to miss this movie for nearly a decade, but it’s a great little family film. Everything we love about Pixar is present in this movie.
Beyond The Black Rainbow Review: Aims High, Arcs Back Toward The Ground
A dramatic build-up with nowhere to go.
I really wanted to like this film. I really did. Based in 1983, but filmed in 2010, Beyond is an over-indulgent slab of that era’s sense of science-fiction and terror, drawing from the same pool that also informed Mass Effect’s aesthetic. I was introduced to this quirky little piece of Canadian cinema by Videodrome on our very own forums and I must’ve watched the trailer thirty or forty times, something that hasn’t happened since the first, dark trailer was released for Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly. But Beyond is less interested in being a story and more interested in being a tribute to obvious benefactors like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris and less obvious ones like Enter the Void or even the stylish cruelty of Salad Fingers.
“Lincoln” Trailer A Boring Mess
“Lincoln” accurate in all the wrong places? Ah, just shoot me.
I love watching historic films – especially when they’re accurate. When I heard that Daniel Day-Lewis was going to be playing the 16th President of the United States of America in an epic biopic, I was thrilled. After watching the new trailer, I wish someone had shot me in the back of the head.
Jiro Dreams Of Sushi – An Awe Inspiring Documentary
So hungry…So very hungry…
I’ve been aware of the independent documentary “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” for quite some time now and I remember thinking upon first hearing of it “Wow…that looks pretty good”. Other things popped up and life went about its business and I forgot about the film, only thinking of it when I would go pick up sushi at one of the many Japanese restaurants nearby but I was always busy with other things.
Well, I finally saw it.
Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee – It’s Brilliant
Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee – An enjoyable waste of time.
Jerry Seinfelds done it again! He’s taken an idea about nothing and made it into something so watchable that you will be addicted from the first episode. I’m talking about his new webseries called Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.
