Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Shooting IMAX sequences
This is one of the most exciting things that I have heard in some time. My favorite movie of 2007 was Transformers, primarily because I grew up watching Transformers. That and Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime, returned to reprise his role.
The movie was fun and, every time the Transformers appeared, I was [...]
George Clooney is The Lone Ranger
Well, a few days ago I was talking about The Lone Ranger, and thinking they needed to cast someone in the title role that could and would steal scenes from Johnny Depp, who is in the role of Tonto. There were rumors about who would take that role, and I believe they have found someone [...]
Super-Poke For the Win!
Epic Win! This is the result of months of poke wars on Facebook.
New Music: The Backstrokes
The Backstrokes: Melissa Nicklowitz (Vocals), Rob Antecki (Piano & Keyboards), Justin Dore (Guitar), Kyle Tomczyk (Drums)
A friend of mine named Rob Antecki is in a band called The Backstrokes. He asked that we all share this if we wanted to. I figured I would.
Rob writes:
To the friends and fans of The Backstrokes:
We are happy to [...]
Johnny Depp: Pirates 4, Lone Ranger and Alice in Wonderland
I’m not a big Johnny Depp fan. Hardly at all, actually. But that isn’t to say that I don’t like movies that he’s been a part of. For instance, I haven’t really watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in years, but I have seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a few times. The simple [...]
Great Wii Games
If you’re ‘dusting off your Wii,’ you’re not playing the right games.
In the last few months, I’ve been reading articles where people claim that they have either an Xbox 360 and a Wii, or a PS3 and a Wii, and they have to either ‘dust the Wii off’ or ‘hook it back up’ to play [...]
Spider-Man 4 and 5 are on, Tobey Maguire has Signed
This is some of the best news I’ve heard in some time. Tobey Maguire has officially signed on to reprise the role of Peter Parker in Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5.
You see, when Spider-Man came out in 2002, I wasn’t a fan of it. I thought that Green Goblin was too much of a Power [...]
The Shawshank Redemption on Blu-ray: Dec. 2
One of my top 5 favorite films of all time, The Shawshank Redemption, is coming to Blu-ray Disc on December 2, 2008. It’s one of those films that you can watch over and over, and it’s still as great as the last time you saw it.
This release will have all of the same features as [...]
Live-Action Ninja Turtles Hybrid Movie Planned
It turns out that Kevin Eastman’s post that I wrote about just before turned out to be a lot of hot air. All told, had I continued reading, I might have found out, but that was a story I’d had in my RSS reader and really wanted to comment on.
I’m really happy with what [...]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles returns to Live Action?
In 1993, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III was released, closing out the trilogy of Ninja Turtles films with a film that is decidedly sub-par. Especially when you compare it to the first two in the trilogy, the third just doesn’t measure up. 2007 brought us redemption in the form of TMNT, a CGI-driven Ninja Turtles [...]
