Of all the blockbuster movies this year that was supposed to elicit fangasm from me this year, Star Trek was the only one who delivered through and through so far. An alternative story that didn’t veer off the original mythos of the series, but in itself was an original experience non-fans can truly enjoy.
You can now take home the experience once the DVD and Blu-Ray are released on November 17 this year. It will include behind-the-scenes specials, commentaries, and nine deleted scenes! As well a “Hologram” experience. You can check out what to look forward by watching the teaser below.
If there’s any director who I think will pull off an Alice in Wonderland, it’d be Tim Burton.
There might not be a more surreal and more playful director today than Burton and he’s just the kind of creative mind that a demented story such as Alice in Wonderland needs. Just think of Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Sweeney Todd. Thank goodness, they’ve tapped him to do the job.
Just to show you what kind of visualization Burton still packs, here’s the trailer Disney showcased at the San DiegoComic-Con.
For those who have watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince might have been treated to another visual treat in the form of the Sherlock Holmes movie trailer. I haven’t watched HP 6 so I’m just content to have watched them online.
Fans of Robert Downey Jr, would think that this is a really good casting decision. I fear, though, that he has lent much of himself to the character. Looking at the trailers, Holmes does echo Tony Stark in a lot of ways. Not that it’s something bad as far as my personal taste goes but there might be something bad in too much RDJ. I always envisioned Holmes to have a more Dr. House-esque air about him. I might not be a fan of Jude Law but his bad-ass portrayal of Watson might be a nice surprise as well. Anyway, here are a couple of trailers courtesy of the YouTube gods.
Still, it’s something that I look forward to watching this year.
Oh well. Foolish us for not getting to update this site that often. That last bit about Sienna Miller playing The Baroness (as she appeared on Top Gear) is a bit moot since we haven’t really wrote anything about the G.I. Joe movie. So here’s that token bit, together with the trailer.
The cast looks promising though with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander, Sienna Miller as The Baroness, Rachel Nichols as Shana ‘Scarlett’ O’Hara, Channing Tatum as Duke, Marlon Wayans as Ripcord and Dennis Quaid as General Hawk.
G.I. Joe is part of every child from the 80s. Remember when Duke got seriously injured by a snake? That might not have been as emotionally and culturally significant as Optimus Prime’s death but I remember that part vividly. Now, just like the Transformers, the Joes are back to influence the kids of the new millennium. However, I think that this movie will have the same impact as the Transformers. Lots of intense action sequences and explosions. Whether the script would have any depth or not, we might just have to wait for the movie.
Lookie here. Trekies are undoubtedly clenching their bumholes for the much anticipated J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot. Whether it will be a travesty or not, we’ll only know once it hits the theaters later this week. But let’s have something to whet our Star Trek dose for the day. Here’s one for Trekie gamers.
Coming to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network is Star Trek D-A-C. Don’t bother if you’re looking for ways to control Spock and finally relive your sick fantasies of contorting his CG player character against Kirk, D-A-C’s straight up spaceship shooter. Here’s the first trailer from GameTrailers.
We've done some house cleaning and unfortunately, we broke some links to out Photobucket-hosted images. (FAIL!) We're sorry for that so just check our Photobucket album for those missing images.
