Some of us already know the legacy of the Big Apple Comic Con. Some of us. The Big Apple Comic Con is the longest running (that I know of) annual comic book convention in the NYC area. It’s a daunting, but exciting convention to attend and this year’s show seems to be prepped to be bigger and more extravagant than conventions past. The guest list is outstanding and should be found ... Read More!

First let me open by saying that I did not see the first film. Never even heard of the dang thing. I have to say that after watching the clips and trailers for this new film it actually made me want to look up and look back to see what the heck all the fuss is about. The film is an old school slasher rather than the the type of films they try to pass as horror today. There’s a lot of ... Read More!

Below is the latest trailer for the latest upcoming Harry Potter movie. I must say that the trailer does certainly look impressive. Lots of implied action from within the trailer to excite and titillate fans while waiting for this November release (if it doesn’t get pushed back). I admit that the trailer does have me pretty interested to see how the series will crescendo to it’s ... Read More!

I must really like to put myself through torture. To watch this bullcrap excuse of a movie is like asking someone just shoot me in the head. I don’t know about you, but I just think all these video game companies must love these movie studios destroying the characters and stories they diligently developed. Don’t get me wrong they have screwed up a few comics and some TV-series ... Read More!

Caught “Resident Evil: Afterlife” this weekend. I actually thought this movie was called Resident Evil 3D. Something on a technical note, this is the first film since Avatar to use James Cameron’s camera, the Fusion Camera System. RE3D, (I’m just going to call it that), was solely designed to be a spectacle to show off slow motion 3D action. The CGI is poor in some areas, and ... Read More!

Now I saw Tales of Earthsea and why this film didn’t get much publicly as the other two is beyond my mind. All of Studio Ghibli’s movies are fantastic and I expected nothing less from this film. It’s important to know that this film was not directed by Hayao MiyazakI and was instead directed by his son Gorō Miyazaki. The story is about how humans and dragons once peacefully co-existed. ...

Watched that King of the Fighters movie last night. Good lord, what a horrible movie. I can’t even go into specifics except the whole thing was just horrible. 5 minutes in I was thinking I should just watch MacGruber and at least get some laughs. The movie makes any movie look good, like the Chun Li Street Fighter movie, Battlefield Earth, The Avengers (with Ralph Fiennes and Uma ... Read More!

What do you get when you gather a bunch of the top action stars from the 80’s and 90’s into one movie? It has something to do with blood, guns, women and tons of fun put neatly together in “The Expendables”. I can honestly say I enjoyed the movie. The film was directed and written by Sylvester Stallone. You can tell it was a movie that he wrote due to the subject matter he is ... Read More!

Caught Scott Pilgrim this weekend. It got moved to the cheap theatres up here but is still available at the local cinemas for regular price. I only paid $3.50 for admission and even then my cousin treated me so I paid nothing.

Horrible film. Trailers utterly deceiving. The only redeeming part was near the end in respect to what the main character does with the ocean. There is a beautiful contrast of the sea being tamed by the flowing movements of a little boy. It’s a forgivable piece for me in respect to what the film is as a whole. I appreciate that type of cinematography, it’s a wonderful thing but ... Read More!

Not what I typically expected, I was worried I’d be bored watching it but once the action picked up, it actually picked up. Problem was I never really both that Rhys-Meyers guy, he wasn’t as aggressive as say when I saw him in MI3. I don’t think he’s suited for lead type roles something about him seemed not manly enough? Does that make sense, maybe too pretty boy? ... Read More!

Inception. My two word review: Frighteningly Incredible. This movie from a pure conceptual standpoint is brilliant, it was my type of movie and to spoil it would be a disservice to you. I went in with blackout mode in full effect, saw the trailer in the theatres way back learned what the inception was but once I got to the theatre I seemingly forget what the inception was and learned it ... Read More!

Toy Story 3. The fun thing about this movie is the characters and Pixar always tells an awesome story. The bad thing about it all is it’s just another adventure with these guys you already know, it’s another sequel. Is it still amazing? Yes. Does it still have the same playful magic? Absolutely. Is it still fun? Yep. Emotional in some ways? Yes sir. After watching it, it seems ... Read More!

Sorcerer’s Apprentice. This movie is exactly what you expect it too be. The introduction and backstory I dug, I really REALLY wish The Last Airbender had done the same thing with how it got the people into the movie. It would’ve been so simple and just enough magic to make me say, hey I want to know the rest. That was Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the idea of it seemed magical ... Read More!

Unthinkable is that terrorist movie with Sam Jackson and Carrie Ann Moss. The villain is played by the guy who plays Lucian in the Underworld series. Movie was never released in the US, don’t know why. It could be cause of the subject matter. It’s a straight up terrorist movie with Iranians as the bad guys so it’s current events type thing. Basically dude plants 3 nuclear ... Read More!

2012 is the latest big budget, popcorn, catastrophic film from favorite director Roland Emmerich… and this one stars acting sensation John Cusack! The film takes place in the advent of the titular year2012. The premise of the film is based on ancient Mayan predictions that a series of cataclysmic events result in the destruction of the world as we know it and how a man tries to rescue his ...

I want to give some quick impressions on the movie Cloverfield I caught Cloverfield for the first time on DVD last week. I was genuinely, appreciably, surprised at what I found. Initially walking into the film I knew that they were good things said about it, however,I tried to intentionally keep myself in the dark on a lot of the feedback and criticism that the movie received in order to ... Read More!

I caught Gamer the other night. I dunno what to say about this movie other than it’s justifiably horrible. I get it though, I get what the director is trying to portray and even in some ways the movie is ‘Ok’. About half way through the movie I was waiting for it to ‘start’ and actually show there was a slightly compelling reason as to why this movie was even made, ... Read More!

G.I. Joe is an action film based on the popular Hasbro toyline of the same name.The film is directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns,Van Helsing) and stars newcomer Channing Tatum as the hero “Duke” and Marlon Wayans portraying his closest friend and ally “Ripcord”. The film also has roles and appearances for a lot of fan favorites from both the ... Read More!

Well Final Fantasy nerds rejoice. The game that all you pasty faced fanboys wanted is finally here. This game is, of course, Dissidia: Final Fantasy. In this game you can pit your favorite FF heroes against their respective villains and vice versa. (But we all know there is going to be an assload of Cloud vs Squall and Cloud vs Sephiroth videos on YouTube). Yes, this is ‘Fanboy ... Read More!
