Unsugoi: Dragonball’s flesh-colored Piccolo
This officially makes it the next step towards Apocalypse. Dragonball has just release screenie teasers of how Lord Piccolo would look in the live-action Dragonball movie and, by gawd, it looks awful. Horrible. Appalling. I don’t know if this screenie’s just bad or the lighting’s off, a flesh-colored Piccolo just plain sucks. And what’s up with that costume. He looks like he’s going to a gala or...
Midway releases new Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe screenshot and trailer
In my opinion, fighting game cross-overs are so Capcom. I liked them while they lasted. Street Fighter IV is probably the next big fighting game and this latest cross-over by Midway doesn’t seem to appeal to any more than your daily celebrity bikini photo post. To answer Ace’s question as to whether this MK vs DCU game is a good idea or not, I say, it’s a hell of a bad idea. For one, the franchise just bastardizes...
Initial D Extra Stage 2 coming on pay-per-view, DVD
I have to admit that I was (am?) an Initial D nut. It wasn’t my first exposure to drifting and cars but it sure pushed me to be a car and driving nut. While I haven’t gotten as far as getting myself my own black-and-white Corolla GTS/Trueno Sprinter/Corolla Levin AE86 and slap on a Fujiwara tofu-ten sticker on the side and drive around like I was a drifting master, I pushed me to do my fair share of rubber burning. It has...

Max Makowski, producer, writer and director, will be directing the big-screen Voltron adaptation. Well, perusing Makowski’s resume, he’s responsible for bringing the Today Show in Asia and worked as director for some episodes of...

More Dragonball movie snapshots
Oh man. The more details I get on this Dragonball movie, the more I’m trying not to barf. For one, I really hate it when you get white folk trying to play black-haired anime characters. Such is the case when Hollywood decides to get something innately Asian and Anglicize them for a westernized take. But what makes this a travesty of justice is that Stephen Chow is producing this potential pile of steaming crap. This is...
