		<description><![CDATA[It boggles my mind that there are websites that will give the recent The Thing prequel a negative review for repeating the beats of the John Carpenter original, but will give Paranormal Activity 3 a positive review.  Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, Paranormal 3 brings a good amount of scares and jumps, and is mostly successful, but the movie rips off everything from the old BBC TV movie Ghostwatch (worth seeking out) to Poltergeist, Halloween:The Curse of Michael Myers, and even the first two movies in the franchise. The thing about PA3 is that it&#8217;s largely effective as a scary movie.  Until the last fifteen minutes, the film actually does a good job of racketing up tension and throwing a good jump scare at you every couple of minutes.  The problems with the movie actually don&#8217;t come from the acting or the scares, but from the very basics of the story and the direction.  It&#8217;s hard to go into too many details without spoiling things, so let&#8217;s talk a bit more after the jump, shall we? Remember&#8230;SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP! Okay, so PA3 jumps back in time to 1988 and tries to explain the &#8220;weird stuff&#8221; that Katie and Kristi (from the first two movies) went through as kids (which they discuss at length in part 2).  So we get to see them as children and their first experiences with &#8220;Toby,&#8221; the demon (now named) who, ultimately, possesses Katie and steals Kristi&#8217;s baby son.  Their parents (who look a lot like Micah and Katie from the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The official Avengers trailer is now online&#8230;and pretty badass.  I&#8217;ll save snarky nitpicks until after the trailer. So&#8230;it does bug me a little that the first 30 seconds of the trailer make this seem a lot like a Transformers movie.  I was hoping for a better look at the Hulk, but I guess we&#8217;ll see more in the next trailer.  I mean, we&#8217;re still a while away from the film being released.  Oh, and the song selection, despite being a great song&#8230;really could have been something a little more recent. Nitpicks aside, I&#8217;m actually pretty impressed by the trailer.  High hopes for this one.  Watch in HD at Apple.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: StarTrek.com &#8220;You&#8217;ve heard the rumors, and now StarTrek.com can officially confirm it: Star Trek: The Next Generation will be released in high-definition Blu-ray, starting in January with a sampler of several popular episodes, followed by a season-one set to be released later on in 2012, and subsequent seasons beaming down after that. Each of the 178 episodes spanning The Next Generation&#8216;s seven seasons will be transferred to true high-definition 1080p for release in the Blu-ray format and, eventually, for runs on television and digital platforms in the U.S. and across the world. Star Trek: The Next Generation will, as fans know, be celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012.&#8221; The sampler will include the feature-length version of the series pilot, &#8220;Encounter at Farpoint,&#8221; as well the fan-favorite episodes &#8220;Sins of the Father&#8221; and &#8220;The Inner Light,&#8221; the former from season three and the latter from season five.  Not sure I&#8217;m on board for the sampler, but I know sales of it will affect the blu-ray releases of the full seasons.  If Paramount is smart, they&#8217;ll throw in a coupon for the full season sets &#8211; then I&#8217;m definitely on board. I&#8217;m super excited to see TNG on Blu-Ray, especially with new effects and remastered from the original negatives.  It&#8217;s going to be like an entirely new experience &#8211; what say you?  Will this be enough to make you guys purchase? Oh, and hey, if you&#8217;re a Trek fan, make sure to check out our brand new actual play, Star Trek: Aegean, which just released its first episode here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My gaming life began not with Dungeons and Dragons but with the TSR Marvel Super Heroes game from the 80’s.  I was (and am) a huge Marvel fan, anyway, so being able to drop one of my characters into that universe was a dream come true.  When other people’s first characters were fighting orcs and dragons and saving the princess, my first characters were fighting Dr. Doom and the Marauders and saving  the world.  While I’ve gotten rid of each version of D&#38;D when the next one has been released I still have almost all my game books from the Marvel Super Heroes game and still have characters I created 20 years ago and would still love to play in a campaign. Imagine my sense of nostalgia and delight, then when I read Icons.  Many games, especially since the advent of the d20 system are just fresh skins stretched out on the skeleton of a rules system that were not designed for them.  Icons is just the opposite.  Instead of the bones of the Marvel Super Heroes system with a new skin, Icons is the skin of the Marvel Super Heroes system with a new skeleton.  Of course, the creator of Icons, Adamant Entertainment does not have the license to Marvel’s characters but that is almost the only thing missing from the old game. The similarities between the two games are striking.  Like the Marvel Super Heroes game, character generation in Icons is almost entirely random.  The type of character,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember &#8220;Paul&#8217;s Horror Flix?&#8221; It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve reviewed any horror films for the site, and I kinda miss talking about films in my favorite genre, especially with Pauloween coming up in just a month and a half (as long time readers know, Pauloween is a month-long event, not just October 31st!).  Well, it&#8217;s about damn time we brought the tradition of chatting about our favorite scary flicks back to IoM, starting each Friday with FEARFUL FRIDAYS (check out previous horror reviews here). First off, Grave Encounters, a &#8220;found footage&#8221; horror movie due out October 18th on DVD. In the movie, a group of paranormal investigators, similar to television&#8217;s popular Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures shows, investigates a haunted hospital. Though the site housed some pretty tragic events when filled with the living, since it&#8217;s been abandoned, folks have been seeing eerie apparitions and hearing odd noises. As we&#8217;re told, this is the sixth episode of the aborted &#8220;Grave Encounters&#8221; tv series, and gathered from the raw footage filmed during their visit there. Full review after the jump. Grave Encounters is a genuinely creepy little movie. I&#8217;d heard relatively little about the movie, though it actually has shown at a couple of film festivals (including Tribeca) and been met with fairly positive reviews. I really feel that the flick would benefit from a push similar to the one Paranormal Activity received a couple of years ago. Especially since it largely would appeal to the same audience. The thing....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I actually really enjoy the Underworld movies. I mean, sure, they&#8217;re poorly written and are a little silly, but they appeal to the kid in me who likes to see cool looking people shooting cool looking vampires and werewolves. Really, they&#8217;re for the type of comic fan who likes fun comics, and is willing to believe that yes, vampires can make sunlight-filled bullets because, you know, it&#8217;s just cool. Well, it&#8217;s been some time since we last saw Kate Beckinsale in the leather get-up, and I for one have missed her. The movie opens in 3D and 2D theaters on January 20, 2012. Directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, it stars Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley and Charles Dance. I&#8217;d expect to see this trailer this weekend if you watch Conan in 3D. FYI &#8230; I also hear that you may see a new trailer for Ghost Rider with that flick too.]]></description>

Is it just me, or does it look inspired by the &#8220;New 52&#8243; look of Superman?  Either way, I&#8217;m sold. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have provided the first look at the new “Man of Steel,” revealing star Henry Cavill as Superman in the film from director Zack Snyder. The film also stars three-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (“The Fighter”) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (“Unfaithful”) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (“Dances with Wolves”). Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road”), and Faora, Zod’s evil partner, played by Antje Traue. Also from Superman’s native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s mother, played by Julia Ormond, and Superman’s father, Jor-El, portrayed by Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (“Gladiator”). Rounding out the cast are Harry Lennix as U.S. military man General Swanwick, as well as Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy. “Man of Steel” is being produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer, from a story by Goyer and Nolan, based upon Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel &#38;....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend Rodger tells the story of being a kid, laying on his belly at his friend&#8217;s house and watching 2001: A Space Odyssey.  He and his buddy were enthralled by The Dawn of Man scenes in which early man-apes discover the use of tools.  His friend&#8217;s father wandered into the room and joined the boys watching the movie while sipping his beer. The father scrutinized Kubrick&#8217;s film for long moments until at last he rendered his evaluation: &#8220;This ain&#8217;t nothin&#8217; but a damn monkey movie.&#8221; Anybody who&#8217;s listened to more than a few episodes of Funnybooks knows I have a deep and abiding affection for monkeys.  Talking monkeys, that is. I enjoy them in all their forms.  Comics, TV, movies&#8230; at the office, in the grocery store&#8230; love &#8216;em.  In my homebrew SF game, the local sheriff?  Talking monkey. I don&#8217;t really understand my fascination with talking monkeys.  I just know that I am drawn to them. With the advent of this week&#8217;s release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Ideology of Madness will honor the Planet of the Apes franchise for all its done to elevate the dialogue between man and ape.  Additionally, we&#8217;ll look at other chatty ape notables.  And we&#8217;re giving stuff away! More on that shortly. Ain&#8217;t nothin&#8217; but a damn monkey movie?  And a damn monkey comic.  And a damn monkey TV show.  And a damn monkey website.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make. I didn&#8217;t like &#8220;The Walking Dead&#8221; anywhere near as much as everyone else seems to have. I mean, it was a good series, but I felt it dragged, and got unnecessarily repetitive &#8230; not good for only 6 episodes. Still, it&#8217;s strength (I felt) came from series showrunner Frank Darabont, who also directed the awesome pilot. Well&#8230;. This is a quite a bombshell &#8212; I have learned that Frank Darabont, the creator, executive producer and director of AMC&#8217;s smash hit The Walking Dead, is stepping down as showrunner of the series, which is now in production on its upcoming second season. The news is even more surprising given the fact that Darabont was on hand for Walking Dead&#8217;s Comic-Con panel just this past Friday alongside fellow executive producers Robert Kirkman, on whose graphic novel the series is based, and Gale Anne Hurd and appeared excited about Season 2. There is speculation that Darabont might be off the show completely, but I hear talks are still ongoing about him possibly staying on in some capacity. Darabont, who spent five years trying to get a TV version of the zombie saga off the ground and wrote and directed the AMC pilot, hails from the feature world, and I hear that he never quite adjusted to the daily grind of producing a TV series. (more at Deadline) That&#8217;s very curious, really. I&#8217;d imagine he&#8217;ll stay on in some capacity, as Frank seems to be really into the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chuck: Sadly, next season will most definitely be its last. Which is good, I guess. They were bound to get cancelled eventually. Holy Terror: Frank Miller is finally releasing the graphic novel that started out as Batman fighting the Taliban. The Dark Knight: Speaking of Batman, DC Animated is adapting Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns as two movies sometime next year. Apparently Batman is a big seller for them, as half of their movies are about him. DC New Universe Designs: Dammit, I really like the Harley Quinn redesign. Doctor Who: The rest of this season looks wicked awesome. Can&#8217;t wait! Matt Fraction is going to be writing lots of stuff: Including a new Defenders series, and some Fear Itself post-stuff. And your first peek at the Avengers from the upcoming movie.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, technically the first official trailer for the upcoming prequel/reboot to The Thing.  I love the original.  It&#8217;s in my top 5 horror films of ALL TIME.  The way they are approaching this new film &#8230; it&#8217;s impressive.  They hired a pretty girl/guy lead combo, but aren&#8217;t making the film (at least from the trailer) all about skin, like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did (though I enjoyed the hell out of that one).  Not only that, they seem to have successfully tried to capture the essence of the time period of the original, save for one glaringly obvious CGI shot in the trailer (you&#8217;ll see it).  Damn, I can&#8217;t wait.

		<description><![CDATA[Source: Bleeding Cool Starting July 29th on Cartoon Network, the new Thundercats has fans of the old wondering if it can capture the spirit of the original and update it for modern sensibilities without losing what we love about the mythology and its characters.  Luckily, we&#8217;ve got an over nine-minute peek at the series from YouTube: Gotta say, the show reminds me in look and feel of Oban Star Racers, and I can think of no higher praise. I love the changes to the characters and mythology, and the story of the show seems to be going more epic with more focus than the original. Can&#8217;t wait until the hour-long premiere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I applaud any director who goes through the effort of using creature effects to create their monsters, rather than going the CG-route.  It seems like CG is used for pretty much everything nowadays, even so far as using it instead of squibs for blood in movies.  Director Jon Knautz is big on the same line of thinking &#8211; his Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer features tons of great looking creatures that were done using makeup and prosthetics, not a computer. The problem with Jack Brooks ultimately boiled down to one main issue: it was boring.  It was a short film, but it took way too long to get to the punchline and, despite the punchline being pretty darn good &#8230; the slow parts just weren&#8217;t interesting enough to make it worth the wait.  Did The Shrine fair any better? In The Shrine, a group of young journalists investigate a cult said to practice human sacrifice, and end up uncovering a secret that could cost them their lives, starting with a giant mist just outside of town that never leaves or moves, and is too thick to see through.  Venturing into the fog, two of the party come across a giant horrific statue, and not long after they&#8217;re running from the villagers, who are out to make them their next sacrifice. The Shrine is definitely a slow burn.  Unlike Jack Brooks, though, you get a sense of dread throughout that helps keep the film interesting despite it taking its time to bring on....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently released on DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Copy/On Demand/LP/8-Track/Stone Tablet/Whatever is the newest animated feature from DC&#8217;s line of DTV flicks, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Despite there being a pretty great Green Lantern: First Flight movie released in 2009, this film doesn&#8217;t tie into that one, and attempts to try to fit them in the same continuity are, essentially, futile.  This seems more intended to be a tie-in to the upcoming live action movie, featuring many of the same characters that are prevalent, such as Sinestro and Kilowog. Emerald Knights isn&#8217;t like First Flight in that it isn&#8217;t one story.  Much like Batman: Gotham Knight, Emerald Knights is a series of different stories, some original, others adapted from the comics.  Unlike Gotham Knight, however, the animation style is relatively consistent throughout the film, so you don&#8217;t get the jarring change in styles from one story to the next.   There six stories in Emerald Knights, The First Lantern, which really is more about the first Green Lanterns, but is actually one of the standouts of the movie.  The set pieces are extremely well done, and the action is intense. Abin Sur, which is essentially a tale of Abin Sur and Sinestro hunting down Atrocitus.  Not bad, and fans will enjoy the tie-ins to the comics. Laira, the weakest of the bunch, where the titular character returns home to find that her family has taken a tyrannical rule over the planet.  A pretty stellar fight sequence, but that&#8217;s about all there is to it.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Licensing Expo 2011 is currently going on in Las Vegas and, courtesy of Bleeding Cool, we get our first (kinda blurry) peek at the Avengers from the upcoming Joss Whedon movie. Thor and Black Widow look, essentially, the same, but I do notice some subtle changes on the Captain America and Iron Man costumes (more gray on the Iron Man suit).  Mark Ruffalo&#8217;s Hulk and Jeremy Renner&#8217;s Hawkeye, as expected, look more like their Ultimate Universe counterparts.  What do you guys think?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite my love for BBC’s programming (though I’ve sadly missed the majority of the latest season of Primeval), I’ve never, in my life, seen a single episode of Doctor Who. I’ve always been curious about it, but, for no particular reason, just never got around to watching the damn thing, despite everyone telling me how great it was. I know that the guy who plays the Doctor swaps out every couple of years (though I’m not clear as to if it’s written that way, or if it’s just actors moving on to new things), and that the newest Doctor is played by Matt Smith, who I’m not sure if the fans love or hate (I guess it depends on the fan). I also know that the last season was run by Steven Moffat, taking over for longtime showrunner Russell T Davies, and that Moffat also created the latest BBC series Sherlock, also something I’ve wanted to see but just haven’t gotten around to. Well, Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott talked me into watching Doctor Who. The guy (Slott, not Who) camped out ALL DAY to watch the premiere of the show in a movie theater, along with hundreds of other fans. I mean, I can’t think of a single TV show I’d do that for … sure, maybe a new Star Trek show or maybe even the premiere of Supernatural, but even then, only if the cast and crew would be there. But there aren’t a ton of TV shows....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So not many people know that, concurrent with production on Paranormal Activity 2, there was an alternative sequel being filmed in Japan, entitled Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night.  Released in November 2010, and directed by Toshikazu Nagae, the film follows a brother and sister in Japan who are dealing with strange happenings very similar to those from the American movies.  Pretty odd, huh?  Well, it&#8217;s an officially sanctioned sequel! In Tokyo Night, a young man named Koichi is welcoming his sister back from her trip to America.  While  she was there, she was in a car accident that left both of her legs broken.  Their father heads out on a business trip, and, not long after, the strangeness begins. With &#8220;two bedrooms&#8230;twice the fear,&#8221; does Tokyo Night live up to the standards set by the American films? The main issue with Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night is that, once you&#8217;ve seen something twice&#8230;well, the third time feels a little stale.  Let&#8217;s be honest, Paranormal Activity 2 was almost exactly the same movie as the first with some slight tweaks.  Oddly though, it was still supremely effective, and genuinely scary.  While Tokyo Night doesn&#8217;t fare quite as well as PA2, it&#8217;s also pretty effective, and the tweaks are just enough to make a difference, even when you&#8217;re wondering if you&#8217;re essentially just watching a remake of the original. And, despite the fact that we&#8217;re dealing with siblings instead of a couple, that&#8217;s pretty much the case.  The film repeats almost every incident of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love The Crow&#8230;the original one, mind you.  With Brandon Lee.  But doesn&#8217;t everybody love that movie?  I mean, it&#8217;s Brandon Lee&#8217;s last movie, and the perfect example of a dark hero movie.  I mean, sure it&#8217;s a little dated, but damn&#8230;awesome movie, awesome soundtrack.  Just a heckuva good film (can you tell I&#8217;m in the mood to re-watch it now?). Well&#8230;they&#8217;re rebooting the Crow franchise.  Probably a good idea since 3 out of the 4 Crow films (not including the TV series) kind of suck.  I mean, that last one with Edward Furlong and David Boreanaz?  Wow&#8230;that one was awful.  It looked like it was filmed in someone&#8217;s backyard. Well&#8230;luckily, The Crow reboot won&#8217;t look that way, because it&#8217;s directed by 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (says SuperheroHype).  I absolutely love 28 Weeks Later.  In fact, truth be told, I like it more than the original.  It&#8217;s an intense horror movie, and I really hope Fresnadillo brings the same intensity to a Crow flick.  Now we get to argue over who should get the title role&#8230;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Insidious, the new flick from Saw and Dead Silence director James Wan, has had kind of an odd marketing campaign, in my opinion.  I don&#8217;t get the slogan they&#8217;ve been using&#8230;&#8221;Insidious is&#8230;Insidious.&#8221;  Ummm&#8230;.okay?  Not  only that, but the trailer appeared to give away what I assumed was intended to be a twist &#8211; &#8220;it&#8217;s not the house that&#8217;s haunted&#8230;it&#8217;s your son!&#8221; With a reported budget of just under $1M, and a cast featuring Watchmen&#8217;s Patrick Wilson and 28 Weeks Later&#8217;s Rose Byre, Insidious comes to us from the producers of Paranormal Activity, and is written by Leigh Wannell, who also wrote the first three Saw movies, Dead Silence, and also stars in the film. So with a healthy horror pedigree, Insidious really should knock it out of the park right? Well&#8230;.. Insidious tells the story of a young family who have just moved into a new home with their two sons and a newborn daughter.  Renai (Rose Byme) is overwhelmed with trying to get the moved in, and husband Josh (Patrick Wilson) isn&#8217;t terribly much help, as his way of dealing with stressful situations is to just not, and he ends up spending late hours at his teaching job just to avoid dealing with the stress of being home.  Unlike most horror films where we get a slow burn until the middle of the film, Insidious starts things off pretty early.  Apparitions pop up almost immediately, and the couple&#8217;s son Dalton falls into a coma for no apparent reason.

		<description><![CDATA[I loved the original Thundercats as a kid.  Though I remember very little about the actual show, I remember mostly the characters.  Lion-O, Snarf, Mumm-Ra&#8230;visually, the show is still a viable property, and, given that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out after and was rebooted sooner, I&#8217;m surprised that this hasn&#8217;t happened until now. Yup, Thundercats is getting rebooted.  And though there have been many changes (for example, the &#8216;Cats don&#8217;t get stranded on another planet), the core concept appears to be the same, and without the hokeyness that dates so many 80&#8242;s TV shows.  The animation looks pretty stellar, and it looks like it&#8217;s going to take itself seriously, which is nice.  A Thundercats show with a modern sensibility?  Sign me up. Check out the trailer here!]]></description>

Much more effective than the Super Bowl trailer, the new theatrical trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger is out now, and my only concern is how little you see of the costume and the baddies. Makes me wonder how long the movie will be spent on origin before the action kick in. Captin America: The First Avenger opens in 3D and 2D theaters on July 22, directed by Joe Johnston and starring Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Dominic Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Neal McDonough and Derek Luke.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya know, I just can&#8217;t bring myself to write a long review of 51, another entry in the new series of After Dark Originals that had a recent premiere on SyFy Channel.  Unlike the first entry, Husk (review here), which was pretty damn great, 51 feels like what you&#8217;d expect to premiere on Saturday night on the SyFy Channel.  I really expected a Mega Shark or a Croctopus or whatever the hell to show up at any moment in all tv-level CGI glory.  Yes&#8230;it&#8217;s that bad. Starring a tv-level cast including Bruce Boxleitner, Rachel Miner, Jason London, and John Shea, and directed by Jason Connery (who also directed a pretty crappy flick called The Devil&#8217;s Tomb), 51 has tv-level everything &#8230; production values, acting, special effects and writing.  I think the only one who comes out of the flick relatively unscathed is Boxleitner, and maybe that&#8217;s just because, no matter how many people love the guy (present company included), I don&#8217;t think we really expect too much out of him to begin with. So what&#8217;s it about?  Well, the government has allowed a group of reporters &#8220;exclusive&#8221; access to Area 51, with the intent of making people think that there are no actual aliens there.  But then the aliens get out (duh) and there&#8217;s a midget alien, and a shapeshifting alien AND a Giger-esque alien &#8230; all in one movie!  Of course, by just throwing every cool thing you&#8217;ve ever seen in an alien movie, you end up not having....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man&#8230;this film looks all kinds of awesome.  From the Amblin logo at the beginning to the feeling throughout the trailer, JJ Abrams is clearly going for geek nostalgia with his newest directorial effort, Super 8.  I can see all kinds of 80&#8242;s Spielberg, Donner, and Howard influence throughout the trailer&#8230;and that&#8217;s a good thing.  I love the films that Super 8 is clearly influenced by &#8211; flicks like E.T. (though, honestly, that film bores the hell out of me), Close Encounters, Goonies&#8230;heck, even The Monster Squad.  The problem with a lot of films that feature kids as the leads nowadays is that they&#8217;re too wrapped up in trying to please a tween audience, and stray from the type of fun stuff that I grew up with &#8211; films that were just on the edge of too scary for their core audience, with wonder and a dash of horror mixed in all at the same time.  Looks like Abrams is missing that kind of flick too. Super 8 is due out June 10, 2011.]]></description>

The video and song crack me up. Enjoy!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya know, The Red Skull is one of those characters that&#8217;s just going to look badass regardless of budget.  Even that craptacular Captain America movie from the 90&#8242;s had a pretty good-lookin&#8217; Red Skull, but wasted it by only having him in the actual Skull for the first scene of the movie.  But Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull above?  Man &#8230;. that&#8217;s just awesome looking. I&#8217;m wondering how Marvel will work in the fantastic element into their film universe.  Iron Man and Hulk, while both crazy characters, are still both grounded in science.  I guess Cap and Red Skull are too, but what about Thor?  Can they still keep people interested in that universe?  We&#8217;ll see when Thor and Cap both come out this month, supposedly with an Avengers movie teaser trailer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know, usually the words &#8220;SyFy Channel Original Movie,&#8221; are not indicative of any kind of quality.  In fact, they&#8217;re more indicative of a lack thereof.  However, they&#8217;ve teamed up with After Dark to produce a series of After Dark Originals.  Since 2006, After Dark films has put on an annual horrorfest, featuring &#8220;8 Films to Die For,&#8221; with varying success.  Some shining moments have included great horror flicks like The Abandoned, Frontier(s), and Mulberry Street.  Of course, After Dark has also produced stinkers like The Hamiltons and Unearthed (with Charlie Murphy!). After a run in a couple of movie theaters in the middle of nowhere (seriously, it was pathetic), these After Dark Originals are now premiering on SyFy Channel and also being released on DVD, starting at the end of March.  The first out of the gate?  Husk, a scarecrow horror film and one of my most anticipated of the bunch.  But was it any good? Scarecrow horror movies&#8230;well, they&#8217;re usually shit.  Let&#8217;s be honest.  Has there ever been a good one?  And don&#8217;t say that one episode of &#8220;Supernatural.&#8221;  That doesn&#8217;t count. Scarecrows are friggin&#8217; creepy, and cornfields?  Perfect settings for scary happenings.  But there has never really been a successfully done film that combined the two (at least in my opinion). Well&#8230;until now anyway.  For a film that premiered on SyFy Channel on a Saturday night, Husk kicks all kinds of ass. Story is pretty simple &#8211; kids are on their way somewhere, car wrecks in the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Relatively new horror movie director Christopher Smith is definitely going to be someone to keep an eye on.  His first feature-length, Creep, was a creepy flick set in a subway and starred Franka Potente (Run Lola Run).  From there, he did the pretty damn great Severance (imagine Office Space meets Hostel), then his American debut, Triangle, featuring Melissa George in a &#8220;Twilight Zone&#8221;-ish tale of creepiness on the open seas. Black Death is his first period piece, starring Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings) as the leader of a group of knights tasked with investigating the tales of a small town practicing necromancy, returning the dead back to life.  They take a young monk with them as a guide. mild spoilers follow&#8230; If it sounds a lot like the recent Nic Cage-starrer Season of the Witch&#8230;that&#8217;s because it is.  Except, where Witch relies on CGI effects and demons flying around, Black Death instead focuses on genuine tension and a heaping amount of gore.  The film is relatively tense, but is more of a slow burn.  The first half of its 97 minute running time is really spent understanding the different characters and getting to know them.  There&#8217;s really no action at this point in the film &#8211; it&#8217;s entirely spent on character development, so that when (mild spoiler) they come across the town and sh*t starts to hit the fan, you really start to feel the loss. Black Death is certainly not a feel good film.  Characters are tortured and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kaare Andrews does more than just draw pretty.  The artist behind the recent relaunch Astonishing X-Men and Spider-Man: Reign (a Dark Knight Returns-esque take on Spidey) is also a movie director.  His first feature length film is the low budget horror flick Altitude, starring Jessica Lowndes (&#8220;90210&#8243;) and Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th remake &#8211; the chick with perfect nipple placement). In Altitude, a group of teens decides to take a plane trip to  a concert, as one of them is now recently a licensed pilot.  The problem is, they end up navigating into a seeming unending storm, and suddenly, they&#8217;re under siege by a giant tentacled creature. I&#8217;ve been dying to see Altitude.  I mean, watching the trailer, it looks like Cthulu in the clouds, stalking a group of teens?  What can go wrong with that, right? Problem is, while there&#8217;s plenty of tentacled horror in Altitude, you may end up being a little disappointed at the true nature of the horror in the story.  That&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s bad &#8211; in fact, I actually really enjoyed Altitude.  It&#8217;s just not exactly what I was hoping for.  Without giving too much away, I&#8217;m just going to put that out there as a warning to potential viewers. Kaare Andrews does a pretty great job on his directorial debut.  The film is solid, suspenseful, and good to look at, despite entirely taking place within the confines of a small plane.  Andrews manages to make the film interesting throughout &#8211; it....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: Bloody Disgusting So a while back we told you about how the Japanese division of Warner Brothers is working on Supernatural: The Animation, a 22-episode series from Madhouse (Batman: Gotham Knight and Death Note). The project is set to remake the best episodes from the live-action television show, as well as have original episodes that will show adventures Winchester brothers’ childhood (maybe some based on the Wildstorm comic series?), and episodes featuring side characters from the TV show. Jared Padalecki has signed on to voice Sam for all 22 episode of the English dubs, with Jensen Ackles only set to voice the final two (odd choice, there). Supernatural: The Animation is due out in in Japan on February 23rd, with an English US version I&#8217;m sure sometime in 2011. Check out a trailer for the series below! Supernatural &#8211; Japanese Animated Preview Uploaded by dreadcentral. &#8211; Classic TV and last night&#8217;s shows, online. I&#8217;m still trying to decide if this is awesome or not, especially with Kansas&#8217; &#8220;Carry On My Wayward Son&#8221; playing over Japanese dialog. What say you?]]></description>

Not to be mean, but has he directed a flick since Grindhouse? Besides Machete, of course, which was co-directed. I love me some Robert Rodriguez, and I&#8217;d just love to see more output from him &#8211; this short is a perfect example why!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: Bloody Disgusting Whoa&#8230;how cool would it be to see Arnold Schwarzenegger in a new Terminator film? If your answer was &#8220;not at all,&#8221; then we&#8217;re on the same page. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of The Schwarz, but I think he&#8217;s probably a little too old to play the Terminator, no matter how good a shape he gets in when he gets back into acting.  Not only that, the franchise has kind of written itself into a corner &#8211; if they go with the whole Salvation future timeline&#8230;well, not a good idea.  And the original timeline kind of&#8230;well, ended in Terminator 3.  And Arnold can&#8217;t exactly play the same guy he did in that movie because he&#8217;s D-E-D dead. While I&#8217;m not sure of The Schwarz&#8217;s place in the new Terminator film, the rumors that Justin Lin (every Fast and the Furious film since part 3, Tokyo Drift) will be directing  the new film?  Perfect choice.  Though I guess that means he has nothing to do with the Highlander reboot they rumored last week.  Mixed blessing&#8230;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since this site is blocked at my daytime, might as well go whole hog, right? I&#8217;m talking, my dear friends, about HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY! The porn industry is hurting, my friends.  I mean, let&#8217;s be honest &#8230; when&#8217;s the last time you PAID for porn?  The mere thought of paying for pornography is downright offensive to some, given it&#8217;s availability all over the place, but really&#8230;it&#8217;s still a pretty big moneymaking industry.  Still, not as much as it used to be.  I mean, like I said &#8211; just like other entertainment industries are hurting, porn is hurting.  I mean, unlike you&#8217;re a hardcore fan of Gianna Michaels or something, you&#8217;re probably just apt to find any ol&#8217; free porn video, am I right? So what&#8217;s an industry that has to pay stunt c*cks and fluffers and j*zz moppers to do? Well&#8230;they appeal to geeks like you and me.  They know we&#8217;re already watching porn &#8211; target demographic is people in our age group (except for Aron &#8211; that dude&#8217;s OLD).  Not only that, they know us geeks like to OWN things geeky.  We may not need to own porn, but we sure do need to own every issue of a certain run of comic, or every release of our favorite movie series or television show (regardless of whether we like it or not &#8211; how many of us own Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Exactly.). So when Batman XXX: A Porn Parody ended up being a pretty....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to admit something that many will think is sacrilege.  I really don&#8217;t care for All-Star Superman, the comic series from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.  Many refer to it as the quintessential Superman story, but I just did not find the genius in it that others do.  I just didn&#8217;t get some of the Morrison-esque quirks &#8211; the weird characters, Jimmy Olsen in drag, the attempted Silver Age storytelling techniques.  It just really didn&#8217;t work for me. With the announcement that the 12-issue series would be adapted into a new DC animated feature, many fans were super excited.  They&#8217;ve been wondering if Morrison&#8217;s &#8220;perfect Superman story&#8221; would translate to a 75-minute animated feature.  Recently, preview copies have been arriving in the mail for reviewers (the Blu-Ray and DVD come out February 22nd) and reviews have been saying that&#8217;s it undoubtedly DC Animated&#8217;s best feature, as well as a great adaptation. Unfortunately, much like the series upon which it&#8217;s based, I feel like All-Star Superman is overrated. That&#8217;s not to say that All-Star Superman is bad.  Quite the opposite, actually.  I enjoyed watching the movie more th an reading the series.  While it keeps some of the quirks of the comic, it also has more of a heart than I actually felt in the series (actually, I feel like most of Morrison&#8217;s stuff loses the emotion in the Morrrison-ness of it all).  Not only that, the animation is among some of the best DC animated has put out, and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been really kind of excited for Rare Exports.  Despite the fact that I can&#8217;t think of a single good Christmas horror film off the top of my head (besides the original Black Christmas), I have a soft spot for films in that genre.  Something about the mixture of the holiday with the darkness of horror intrigues me, and of course, I have an affinity for horror movies with snow in them. So Rare Exports, a Finnish horror film, had me with my ears perked, anxiously awaiting its release.  I&#8217;d heard some good things about the film &#8211; that it was almost like a Goonies-esque movie about a child who&#8217;s father (and his father&#8217;s friends) kidnap Santa Claus for ransom.  Except that this wasn&#8217;t the Coca-Cola Santa we&#8217;re used to seeing &#8211; no, this was the Santa of legend, who spanked kids with a rod until they bled, and boiled naughty children in stew.  Not only that, coming to save Santa would be his diabolical elves, evil nasty creatures who killed people and children. So yeah&#8230;I was intrigued. I think it&#8217;s fair to say that, while I enjoyed Rare Exports, I also was disappointed by it.  Going to hit on spoiler(ish) material from here on out &#8230; you&#8217;ve been warned. I think the biggest problem with Rare Exports is that it just doesn&#8217;t feel worth it in the end.  The film takes a while to really get going and once it does, there&#8217;s really not much in the way of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gonna be honest &#8230; not sure what to make of this debut trailer for X-Men: First Class, due out this June.  I think it&#8217;s interesting that they didn&#8217;t actually reboot the franchise like I had thought.  This is actually a prequel to the original trilogy, at least this trailer would give us that impression.  I kind of think that might be painting themselves in a corner, as there&#8217;s only so much they can do with the time period before the original X-Men movie, and I wonder how well that&#8217;ll connect with audiences to turn into a franchise.  What are we going to see next?  An 80&#8242;s X-Men, with music and clothing from that era?  Matthew Vaughn, director of Kick Ass, Layer Cake, and Stardust seems to have a habit of making movies I think are overrated.  I&#8217;m not going to write this film off just yet &#8211; the cast is solid, and it seems to have some concepts that intrigue me.  I&#8217;m just not excited for it.  What say you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kevin Smith has kind of been the talk of the town in the last year.  Between his Southwest Airlines incident, and his opinions about bloggers and media in general, as well as announcing that his next movie, about hockey, will be his last, he&#8217;s kind of been all over the internet.  Kevin Smith has put together a &#8220;horror&#8221; film that premiered at Sundance (to mixed reviews) called Red State. In Red State, three friends (including Kyle Gallner from the Nightmare on Elm Street remake) answer an online ad to have sex (simultaneously) with a woman in a remote area of the country.  She drugs them, and they find themselves trapped by an extremist religious group.  Check out a clip below from MTV. Movie Trailers &#8211; Movies Blog Red State is out on October 19th, but Smith is traveling the country showing off the film, and doing a Q&#38;A.  Check out the official site to see if he&#8217;s coming to your town.  I&#8217;ll be attending the March 15th showing in Washington, DC!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya know, I recently watched this video, and ever since I&#8217;ve done nothing but dream about what go in my own &#8220;Bleak House.&#8221;  I&#8217;m a big fan of &#8220;shelf porn,&#8221; you know, those internet sites and articles where people show off the stuff in their offices?  Their bookshelves full of collectibles, their stacks of DVDs, the original comic art on their walls &#8230; I love seeing all of it.  I love seeing what inspires artistic people, and what they decorate their inspirational spaces with.  My office is pretty barren right now, but I hope to one day have it decorated with original Knights of Reignsborough art (from Jake Ekiss), and a whole bunch of other goodies.  Still, it&#8217;s just one room. Guillermo del Toro, director of the Hellboy movies and Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth, and one of my favorite directors, has a whole house.  I love how, what looks like a mess to some, is completely organized to him.  It tickles me that he has 17th century books sitting on the shelves next to softcover pulp, and first edition classics out in the open, like a comic with frayed edges from being read too much.  It&#8217;s funny that the only thing he keeps behind glass are models and toys, and even then, it&#8217;s probably just to not lose any pieces, or risk them breaking.  He has a ROOM dedicated to horror, and a hidden room behind a bookcase for fantasy.  Do you guys have shelf porn you want to show off?  E-mail....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really, really enjoyed the first Dead Space video game.  I felt it was challenging (though sometimes a bit too challenging), genuinely creepy and scary, and, most of all, INTENSE.  I spent a good portion of the game on the edge of my seat, guiding Isaac through the abandoned space station, worried about what would be around the next corner, or how low my ammo is.  It&#8217;s a truly exciting video game experience, and I really recommend checking it out if you&#8217;re into the survival horror genre. That being said, the original animated tie-in movie, Dead Space: Downfall was really just a bit meh.  The animation was a bit rough, the story kind of generic, and ultimately just felt a bit throwaway.  I mean, it gave me a bit more insight into the events of the game (without having to read all the journals and stuff that you pick up during the game), but overall I just didn&#8217;t leave the experience feeling overwhelmed.  I was just &#8230; whelmed.  The Dante&#8217;s Inferno tie-in animated movie (from the same production company) really actually just kind of dragged for me, despite being a relatively short film.  So Dead Space: Aftermath didn&#8217;t have a lot going for it&#8230; But damn&#8230;this flick impressed the hell out of me. Dead Space: Aftermath tells what happens to a scientific team on the same planet that (SPOILER) Isaac destroys at the end of the first game.  They take a shard of the relic with them (the same relic....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite horror movies (of all time!) is a television movie named Ghostwatch, which aired on the BBC1 on Halloween in 1992.  It was a  horror mockumentary (like Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity), but was presented as &#8216;live&#8217; television. It was only aired once in the UK and caused a storm of controversy from folks who thought it was real.  Ghostwatch holds the record for the highest rated single drama in the UK of all time with a peak audience of 11.5 million viewers, and an estimated 30,000 calls to the BBC switchboard in a single hour. I&#8217;m not going to tell you much about the film and ruin it for you, but the basic premise is that a news crew investigates one of the most haunted areas in the UK, and ends up finding more than they bargained for.  Ghostwatch begs repeat viewings, as there&#8217;s a ton of hidden stuff in it, including multiple appearances of paranormal activity. I just discovered that the ENTIRE film is online, in one large chunk, for free, courtesy of Google Videos.  Give it a watch below (you can expand to the full window for easier viewing)! When you&#8217;re done giving the flick a watch, check out its Wikipedia page to see if you missed anything!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nicholas Cage is kind of going through a weird time right now.  I remember years ago when him being in a movie was a sign of the movie being at least some kind of quality.  Then, at some point, it turned into the realization that these films weren&#8217;t actually good&#8230;just guilty pleasures.  And then they became less pleasurable and, save for the National Treasure movies, Cage became kind of a joke, with his unusual hair pieces and his wacky roles and seeming inability to say no to a paycheck, regardless of the quality of movie. January is typically a breeding ground for mediocre or awful movies, so it seems appropriate that the newest Cage vehicle, Season of the Witch, would be released in this month, given his history.  But is it better than you&#8217;ve heard?  Or another in a stream of bad Nic Cage flicks? In Season of the Witch, two 14th century Crusaders, tired of the war and no longer a believer, travels across a land devastated by the Black Plague. The church thinks sorcery the culprit of the plague and asks the two knights to transport an accused witch to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence. A priest, a grieving knight, a swindler and an alter boy who wants to become a knight join the mission, but is the girl actually a witch?  Or just an innocent young girl fighting for her freedom? I&#8217;ve got to admit that I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most pleasant surprises of last year&#8217;s television season was Starz&#8217;s Spartacus: Blood and Sand.  It was visually arresting and violent, but also well written and acted, with some great writing.  Who&#8217;da thunk that the producers of the Hercules and Xena TV shows would produce such an adult television show? Well, with main star of the show Andy Whitfield currently battling cancer, the producers of the show decided to move forward with a prequel starring the characters played by John Hannah (The Mummy movies) and Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess), which kicks off on January 21st and looks sufficiently kick-ass.  Check out the trailer below.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did anyone ever see the Captain America movie that went straight to video from 1990?  Of course you did&#8230;you&#8217;re reading this website.  Well, one thing that always bugged me about that movie (besides it sucking) was that Cap&#8217;s costume was always dirty.  I mean, maybe the budget made it so they only had one suit&#8230;but still!  Take that shit to the dry cleaners!  Oh well, I&#8217;m sure the 2011 Captain America: The First Avenger will feature Cap in a cleaner costume, right? Okay, well&#8230;not so much.  Cap gets dirty fightin&#8217; those nah-zis.  But surely, Andrew Garfield&#8217;s new take on Spider-Man (due out in 2012) will surely feature a Spidey who takes pride in his costume&#8217;s appearance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I missed The Social Network in theaters.  I was interested in it, but I just wasn&#8217;t completely sold on the story &#8230; not only that, when a film gets the types of accolades it has, I kind of begin to get worried about the film not living up to expectations.  It&#8217;s happened time and time and time again that a film is adored by the critics and I end up hating it. But I&#8217;m a huge fan of director David Fincher &#8211; I mean, who doesn&#8217;t love Fight Club, or Seven?  In fact, those two films are definitely in my top 10 films of all time.  Still, Fincher&#8217;s output since then hasn&#8217;t really intrigued me &#8211; I enjoyed The Game (which was actually before Fight Club), but I haven&#8217;t seen Zodiac or Benjamin Button, and really disliked Panic Room. The Social Network is out now on Blu-Ray and DVD, so I figured now was the time to give this flick a shot &#8211; it&#8217;s on a number of &#8220;best of 2010&#8243; lists, and, as you can see from the cover of the Blu-Ray box, is pretty much universally praised.  Is it worth all the hype? If you haven&#8217;t already heard (and how haven&#8217;t you?), The Social Network tells the tale of how Mark Zuckerberg not only created Facebook, but became the youngest billionaire in the world, and turned his best friend into this enemy. The Social Network is the only time I can think of, in recent memory, where a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just to give you an idea of how picky I am when it comes to movies, I may see 4 or 5 movies at the movie theater in a given year.  So typically a trailer really has to move me to go see a movie.  True Grit was that type of trailer.  Jeff Bridges sounded like such a bad ass in that trailer, I was in.  I knew academically that it was a remake of John Wayne movie, but I had never seen the original.  When a couple of my buddies expressed interest in going, I knew we had to posse up and head out. I saddled up and headed to the local theater to see my first Western in quite some time.  Was it worth the ride? Hell yeah it was.  The action started with young Mattie Ross, who is set upon to take care of her father&#8217;s estate as her father was shot down and killed by an escaped outlaw named Tom Chaney.  Hailee Steinfield did a masterful job playing a strong determined teenage girl who not only manages but thrives in the awful situation.  The scenes where she was interacting the auctioneer were incredible.  Eventually Mattie decides that she needs to find a U.S. Marshall with True Grit who can help her bring Chaney to justice.  She decides on Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), an old Marshall who has a habit of bringing men in dead more often then alive.  They also run into a Texas Ranger named....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m usually late to the game when it comes to awesome stuff. Case in point? Archer, the super hilarious animated spy show on FX.  I saw the first episode with my wife and she HATED it, so for some reason it didn&#8217;t get added to the DVR (I blame her).  However, after the season ended, I caught the entire thing on demand (it&#8217;s on Netflix streaming right now) and LOVED every politically incorrect minute of it.  If you read this site and have never seen Archer, go check it out now!  It&#8217;s also available on DVD, in addition to Netflix. Season 2 premieres on January 27th &#8211; cannot possibly wait!  I mean, the commercial already has be laughing out loud!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve missed Primeval. Sure, it&#8217;s not like I got into the show from the very beginning&#8230;heck, I didn&#8217;t really even get into the show until the start of the third season, but I had read about it before then, and was extremely intrigued.  While most shows promise status quo changes that are usually undone a couple of episodes into each season, Primeval has had a major status quo with each season. While I won&#8217;t go too deep into spoilers until the jump, I will say that each season brought about universe altering changes and character deaths that have stuck with the show.  I got so used to American television that I was really imagining that the changes would be undone within a matter of episodes, but they never were. After cancellation, fans and the BBC rallied around the show, bringing it back for not just one, but two more seasons, the first of which premiered on January 1st.  Spoilers on from here on out. So, at the end of season 1, something happened in the past to change the present entirely, and Nick Cutter (the lead of the show) returned to a different universe, where the woman he loved no longer existed.  At the end of season two, a lead character, who had betrayed the team, sacrificed his life to save them.  Then, in season three, Cutter himself died, leaving the team without a leader, and new team members joined. At the end of Season three, the remaining members of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, full disclosure. I just about wanted to kill myself watching the original Tron. I couldn&#8217;t remember much about the original Tron, but was given an opportunity to see it a couple of days ago, and jumped at the chance, figuring that it could enhance my viewing of Tron: Legacy, which I&#8217;ve been dying to see.  See, fans of the original have been excited about Legacy for its continuing of the storyline &#8211; me, I was excited about it because it looked amazing.  I didn&#8217;t know much about the story and, to be honest, Marvel&#8217;s prequel comic to the movie just confused the hell out of me. So I gave the first flick a shot and, while I admire what it was doing at the time, I also understand why ultimately the film is a cult hit and not one of those cherished classics, like Star Wars or Indiana Jones.  I mean, it&#8217;s quite an unexciting film.  Visually interesting, but storywise, it just didn&#8217;t cut it for me.  If anything, it actually hurt my motivation to see the sequel.  I understand that it has its audience, and I get it&#8230;I just couldn&#8217;t get into the movie.  Nonetheless, I was determined to see Tron Legacy on its opening weekend.  Did 28 years make a difference in storytelling technique?  Did the film live up to its awesome visuals? In Tron Legacy, Kevin Flynn&#8217;s son Sam is actually working against Encom, the company his father made a big deal.  See, they&#8217;re releasing a....]]></description>

All you have to do is buy a $200 gift card to the Full Moon store.  You get the Executive Producer credit, a poster for the movie signed by the cast, and your $200 gift card automatically resets every year for the next two years&#8230;so you actually get $600 in merchandise. More details after jump! This is a very important day for Full Moon as we are announcing and launching a program that I hope you dudes will find super awesome and far-out and will inspire you to give Full Moon a hand in making its first Theatrical Release in over 15 years: EVIL BONG 3-D: THE WRATH OF BONG!!! By purchasing The Full Moon EVERGREEN Gift Card (or any of the other 3 Full Moon Gift Cards!) you will not only get $600.00 worth of credit at fullmoondirect.com plus an on-screen Executive Producers credit plus an 11&#215;17 poster of EVIL BONG 3-D signed by the entire cast &#8211; YOU WILL ALSO BE HELPING FULL MOON....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know the guys give me a pretty hard time about picking up Grant Morrison&#8217;s run on Batman, but I think the one thing that we&#8217;ve all come to agree upon is that at least one good thing has come out of it &#8211; Damian Wayne.  Sure, the character started as a little prick that we were just waiting to die off, but as the character matured, he became something we&#8217;ve never seen before &#8211; a badass Robin.  Tim Drake was awesome, Dick Grayson as well.  Jason Todd was a little schmuck.  But Damian has been kicking ass and taking names. Which is why preview footage of a recent Batman: Brave and the Bold episode (episode S02E22), entitled &#8220;Knights of Tomorrow,&#8221; had me excited.  It showed a Dick Grayson Batman facing off against the &#8220;son of the Joker,&#8221; and the first animated appearance of Damian Wayne! After all, I said on a recent Funnybooks episode that I think the television show Young Justice would have been a prime time to introduce the rest of the world to Damian Wayne (they went with Dick Grayson).  I was shocked that Brave and the Bold would introduce Damian into its mythos, but I had to see how they were going to make it work. &#8220;Knights of Tomorrow&#8221; is a rather oddly formatted episode.  While I know that Brave and the Bold typically has a pre-credits sequence that has nothing to do with the regular episode.  Still, it usually at least partially leads into....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now this is some damn exciting news. Primeval, the BBC series featuring rifts in time that allow both dinosaurs and futuristic monsters to invade modern-day England has been pretty stellar from day one.  As the series progressed, we saw major changed to status quo including the deaths and betrayals of almost the entire main cast, and a change in the past that forever altered the present day.  It&#8217;s been a well written show with a ton of great action and fun&#8230;of course, that is, until it got canceled at the end of season 3, which ended on a cliffhanger. Of course, there was fan outcry about the beloved series ending, so BBC America teamed up to co-fund the series with BBC UK, ITV, and ProSieben to bring the series back for two seasons, premiering simultaneously on BBC UK and BBC America starting on January 1st!  Check out the full press release after the jump! New Year’s Day marks a new beginning for acclaimed series &#8220;Primeval&#8221;, when it premieres in the US on BBC AMERICA, the same day as its UK broadcast. Returning to screens thanks to a unique international collaboration, including new co-producer BBC AMERICA, the seven-episode Season 4 delivers ambitious adventures and opens the franchise to new audiences. From the creators of &#8220;Walking with Dinosaurs&#8221; and &#8220;Survivors&#8221;, &#8220;Primeval&#8221; sees the arrival of new faces and headquarters along with the surprise return of some notable guest stars from earlier seasons. Primeval premieres Saturday, January 1, 2011, at 9:00 pm ET/PT.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been curious about Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn&#8217;s Firebreather comic from Image Comics.  Published as a series of mini-series, the character has popped up in other image books, like The Pact, where he fought alongside Shadowhawk and Invincible.  He seems to have a pretty sturdy following, and the concept, about a boy who&#8217;s half-human, half dragon has intrigued me.  Still, for some unknown reason, I&#8217;ve just never gotten around to reading it. Volume 3 just started on November 24th, the same day as the Cartoon Network premiere of an animated movie based on the original volume.  Though I didn&#8217;t pick up the comic, I went ahead and checked out the animated movie.  The animation in the commercials that I&#8217;d seen looked a little&#8230;television-level, but I figured it would be a good opportunity to see if the story would be worth checking out. Firebreather starts off telling you about a war between humans and giant monsters, called Kaiju, led by Belloc, the king of the Kaiju.  In order to stop the fighting, Margaret Rosenblatt agrees to marry to Belloc, and the unity of their marriage leads to Duncan.  Not entirely sure how a human and 300-ft. dragon got it on, but the animated movie says it&#8217;s &#8220;actually pretty simple.&#8221;  Yech!  Anyway, Duncan is now a teenager, and trying to fit in at a new high school, where he befriends the usual misfit kids and falls for the homecoming queen. Though Firebreather is kind of what you&#8217;d expect from a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Friday on Cartoon Network is premiere of Young Justice, the new DC animated series that seems like a dream come true.  Why would it be a dream come true &#8230; well, take a look at that picture at right.  Not only is Young Justice in DC Continuity (kinda), but the biggest news is that there is no embargo on any DC character, a first for any DC animated series (including Justice League Unlimited, which could use Batman, but not all Batman villains)&#8230;which means that any character is fair game, including Batman, Superman, and all of the JLA and their respective villains. Though the series doesn&#8217;t actually start until January 2011, the two-part premiere, &#8220;Independence Day,&#8221; comes on this Friday, November 26th, at 7pm.  What&#8217;s the episode about? n Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over — to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you&#8217;re not just a normal teenager? What if you&#8217;re a teenage super hero? How much harder will it be to prove yourself in a world of super powers, super villains and super secrets? Are you ready to come of age in such a world? Are you ready for life or death rites of passage? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you&#8217;re worthy of the Justice League? That&#8217;s exactly what the members of Young Justice — Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis — will found out … whether....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The end of a beloved saga is always going to divide fans.  Revenge of the Sith (and even Return of the Jedi) have hardcore fans, and hardcore detractors.  So do the final Pirates of the Caribbean series, and The Matrix films, amongst many others.  It&#8217;s just impossible to please everybody. The final Harry Potter novel is almost universally adored and the filmmakers decided that, rather than being willing to sacrifice any important story beats, it would be better to split the story into two movies, which makes Harry Potter the Deathly Hollows, Part 1 primarily build up to the eventual big battle between the forces of good and evil.  The problem with that a movie of what&#8217;s essentially build up is that you feel like you don&#8217;t get a full story.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is definitely a good film, but it&#8217;s certainly not a complete experience. I&#8217;ve not read any of the Harry Potter books.  I know that may make me a bad person or something, but I promised myself that I wouldn&#8217;t read the books until after I&#8217;d seen the movies.  Sure, the major beats of all the books are ruined in news stories and reviews and all that, but I&#8217;d much rather get the first-time experience to the story from watching the movie.  It may be weird, but I&#8217;d rather have a book ruined for me than a movie.  One of the biggest issues I&#8217;ve had with any of the Harry Potter movies thus far....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;She stuck a lipstick in her boob and it fell out of her pussy!&#8221; Yes, that line is uttered in the 2009 remake of Night of the Demons, a gore-filled comedic type horror film featuring a bevy of recognizable actors, including Monica Keena, Edward Furlong, Tiffany Shepis, and Shannon Elizabeth.  In it, a house party goes REALLY bad when dead bodies are found under the house and demons possess the party goers. It plays like Evil Dead 2, but with sex  It&#8217;s a horror movie that remembers what it&#8217;s like to not only be fun, but also to take itself seriously enough to make sure it has smart writing and decent acting. I&#8217;ve never seen the original Night of the Demons, but I know it&#8217;s something of a cult classic.  If it&#8217;s anything like the new one, that&#8217;s deservedly so.  The new Night of the Demons is absolutely the type of horror film that will pick up a devoted following, and lend itself to plenty of party viewing with your friends.  There&#8217;s tons of crazy sex and nudity, and some outrageous blood and gore.  The comparison to Evil Dead 2 seems entirely appropriate, as the film really does borrow some of its visual flair from the Raimi classic, but this flick is definitely dirtier with some absolutely gross out moments (nipple tentacles!) that are more fun than unsettling. I can&#8217;t imagine there&#8217;s a better recipe for a good horror film than humor, hot chicks, and gore, but there are plenty....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya know, I&#8217;ve got to admit&#8230;I&#8217;m getting tired of Zach Galifianakis.  To a certain extent, I was tired of him before The Hangover was even finished.  I&#8217;ve never been a big fan of that whole &#8220;annoying guy that everyone grows to love&#8221; concept &#8211; in fact, I pretty much get sick of all characters/actors who get their fame by doing that type of role (like Jonah Hill).  To a certain extent, the schtick wore thin in the hay days of John Candy and Bill Murray, but there will always be some kind of actor who tries to fill the role, not realizing that what worked for those guys is that they were as lovable as they were annoying. So it&#8217;s probably not going to come as a surprise what my thoughts on Due Date are.  I saw the movie mainly for Robert Downey, Jr, who I think is pretty awesome (who doesn&#8217;t?), but the trailers made it seem like Galifianakis was essentially playing the same character, if not the exact same role, as he did in The Hangover.  Still, I ventured to check the flick out, and my full review is after the jump. In Due Date, Robert Downey, Jr. plays Peter Highman, who&#8217;s wife (played by Michelle Monaghan) is due to deliver by C-Section on Friday, so he&#8217;s on his way back from a business trip to be there for the birth of his child.  Unfortunately, he happens to meet Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis), who, through a series of unfortunate....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DC Animated has been putting out some great movies as of late, including Crisis on Two Earths, Under the Red Hood, and Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.  Since Crisis, there has been the added bonus of short features with each film, under the banner of DC Showcase, including shorts featuring The Spectre, Green Arrow, and Jonah Hex.  The shorts have all been uniformly excellent, but the main issue is that anyone who hasn&#8217;t actually purchased the movies (watching them on Netflix streaming or On Demand). If you haven&#8217;t purchased any of the movies, and are dying to see some of these great shorts, DC has the answer for you &#8211; a DVD/Blu-Ray collection of all of them.  If you already own all of them, the added bonus this time?  A 23-minute feature &#8220;Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam.&#8221; Is the new short worth the price of admission?  Full review after the jump. It&#8217;s hard to say that, if you owe all of the previous shorts, that it&#8217;s worth plopping down the $15 for DVD or $20 for a 23-minute feature, no matter how good it is.  And, let me tell you, this damn film is FANTASTIC.  Featuring George Newbern (Justice League Unlimited) as Superman, Jerry O&#8217;Connell (also from JLU) as Shazam, and Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) as Black Adam, though the voices may match what you&#8217;re used to from the JLU TV Show, but the animation style is incredibly different. Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, who is known for his excellent action directing,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight, I was able to attend TRON NIGHT 2010, a screening of 23 minutes from the upcoming Tron: Legacy (due out December 17th).  Tickets were given out for free on www.tronnight2010.com, and went very quickly. I can&#8217;t lie, I don&#8217;t remember much about the original Tron, save for some of the iconic imagery.  Still, the trailers for the new film have blown me away, to the point that the new film is definitely one of my most anticipated films of 2010.  So I&#8217;ve been psyched about TRON NIGHT for weeks now. My wife and I got to the theater an hour early (yes, for 20 minutes worth of footage), and there was already a short line waiting.  What surprised me is that, for as little as I remember the first film, more than half of the people in line were probably not even born when the original film was released. After taking my cell phone back to the car (they weren&#8217;t allowed at all in the theater), we were given some posters, and wrist bands.  Pounded with the incredible sound of IMAX 3D, the preview began&#8230;. The footage consisted of a number of scenes from the upcoming movie&#8230; Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), son of the original&#8217;s Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) meets with surrogate father Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner).  Alan tells Sam that he&#8217;s received a page from Kevin from his old office at the arcade.  Sam investigates, and finds a secret lab hidden behind an old Tron video game&#8230; Sam....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm&#8230;even outside of NYCC, we&#8217;re getting tons of awesome announcements this weekend, including announcements on two of my most anticipated upcoming movies! Uncharted: Drake&#8217;s Fortune - Looks like David O. Russell, director of Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees, and the upcoming The Fighter will be the writer/director of Nathan Drake&#8217;s first cinematic adventure.  An odd choice, to be sure, and I hope the right one.  The movies are so cinematic in their own right, I really hope that a movie will do them justice.  (Cinematic Blend) Tron Night 2010 - Want to see 20 minutes of Tron on October 28th, 2010?  Similar to what Avatar did, a free event will occur at IMAX 3D theaters later this month where you&#8217;ll get to see a nice little chunk of the film.  Tickets are free, and are available starting on the 12th of October at 1pm EST. (Tron Night) Extreme Makeover: Rob Zombie Edition &#8211; Rob Zombie will be helping the Extreme Makeover crew makeover a Salem, Oregon cash-strapped school&#8217;s annual Haunted House to help raise funds for the school.  Sounds&#8230;weird.  But I&#8217;ll be watching.  The episode premieres Halloween night, right before you&#8217;re going to be watching The Walking Dead (Shock Till You Drop) Satan&#8217;s Facebook is an actual movie.  One I HAVE to see, apparently. (24 Frames Per Second)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was really looking forward to Dark House.  I&#8217;m a big fan of the concept of amusement attractions gone wrong &#8211; stories like Jurassic Park, West World, House on Haunted Hill.  Dark House is the story of an eccentric amusement attraction owner who&#8217;s decided to purchase a local house, the scene of a horrific murder years ago, and convert it into a state of the art haunted house, with holographic ghosts and a live cast of actors to scare guests. As expected&#8230;things go horribly, horribly awry and before you know it people are getting hacked up in all sorts of ways.  But was this Dark House worth venturing into? Everyone&#8217;s been kind of praising this movie, so I expected a lot of it.  Recently released as part of Fangoria&#8217;s &#8220;Fright Fest&#8221; line of direct-to-dvd movies (kind of like Ghost House Underground), I quickly ran out to rent the movie and see how it was.  It stars Jeffrey Combs, who&#8217;s a personal favorite of mine, and with all of the high marks it was getting, it surely had to be good.  Or&#8230;not so much. In Dark House, the terror begins when the ghost of a woman who murdered children years before takes of the state of the art computer system and makes the holographic monsters capable of actually killing people.  And yes, it&#8217;s as stupid as it sounds.  From the moment the ghost pops up on a computer screen (via horrible special effects), the film goes wrong.  It&#8217;s like Halloween: Resurrection....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am as tickled as I can be. The media property that got me into SCI-FI was not Star Trek, nor was it Star Wars.  No, my gateway to SF was none other than the Six Million Dollar Man.  To this day when I hear series producer Harve Bennett&#8217;s narrative from the opening sequence &#8211; &#8220;Steve Austin, Astronaut&#8230; a man barely alive&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; I get chills of excitement! I am a sucker for this show.  Love it.  Only problem is that there has never been a legitimate way to own the series.  It has never been released legally in the States on VHS or DVD.  Oh sure you can get Region 2 discs or plenty of Chinese pirate DVDs.  You can even pick up the Spanish language version, El Hombre Nuclear (I guess they didn&#8217;t want to do the Peso conversion), but there&#8217;s not been an American release. Until this November. The complete series, digitally remastered even, will be available on November 23rd. It&#8217;ll be tricked out with 17 original featurettes, 6 audio commentaries, plus interviews with series stars Lee Majors and Richard Anderson (aka Oscar Goldman).   Seven year-old me is doing cartwheels. I squealed when I read the press release last night.  The Wife has been mocking me on Facebook since. The fact that I&#8217;m voicing the &#8220;bionic&#8221; sound FX as I move through the house at Bionic slo-mo doesn&#8217;t help either.  But screw her.  This shit&#8217;s awesome. November 23rd, eh?  I know what I&#8217;ll be doing over the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: portions of this review originally appeared in March, 2009. It&#8217;s an absolute travesty that The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series has been canceled in favor of an Ultimate spider-Man reboot. Remember when we, as fans, compared the live action 90’s Batman movies to the Batman animated series, and the movie, Mask of the Phantasm, and found out they were far inferior?  How the movies seemed to scrap the essence of the character, but the animation perfectly captured everything we love about the character and still bring us something we’d never seen before?  It’s hard to do that with a character as old as Batman, and just as hard with a character a little younger, like Spider-Man.  I loved Marvel’s reboot of Spidey in the Ultimate Spider-Man comic when it first started, but I lost interest real quick.  I don’t know what it was missing…but it was just missing something.  To this day, I still haven’t been able to get back into it, even with it&#8217;s manga-styled relaunch. The Spider-Man movies, and I know many will disagree with me, are sorely lacking.  Even though I loved Spider-Man 2, I can’t go on record saying that it’s the perfect Spider-Man movie (mostly due to the casting).  However, what I will say is that, even though Spider-Man has been blessed with some pretty decent animated interpretations over the years, the absolute best is Spectacular Spider-Man. The show borrows from different aspects of the comic books, while still bringing something wholly unique to the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the mood for blood and boobs in glorious, glorious three dimensions? Looks no further than Piranha 3D! We finally get some horror this summer (the last horror film released theatrically, I think, was Nightmare on Elm Street back in April/May), at the very end.  I really am tired of seeing &#8220;Watch it in DIGITAL 3D&#8221; at the end of every trailer nowadays, knowing that most movie companies are converting movies post-production just to get the extra money that helped Avatar become the highest grossing movie of all time. Piranha was converted to 3D post-production, but I had high hopes that, unlike most 3D movies, Piranha would make the best use of its 3D.  In my opinion, even though the movies weren&#8217;t necessarily that great, The Final Destination and My Bloody Valentine were some of the best live-action uses of 3D I&#8217;ve seen since 3D became all the rage.  Horror in 3D is just about the only 3D worth paying the extra funds for &#8230; but was Piranha worth that extra $3.50 charge? Piranha features an all-star cast including Elizabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Kelly Brook, Jerry O&#8217;Connell, Richard Dreyfuss and Christopher Lloyd.  Not to mention all the young kids who&#8217;s names I really don&#8217;t know.  The premise is simple &#8211; an earthquake opens up a crater to an ancient lake filled with deadly man-eating piranha.  Piranha show up, eat people, chaos ensues.  Really, that&#8217;s all you need to know.  Oh, that and&#8230; There&#8217;s more nudity in Piranha 3D than I&#8217;ve....]]></description>

There are a TON of references in the trailer &#8211; you might not catch them all upon first viewing, so here&#8217;s the frame-by-frame breakdown to help you out!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, I love the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels.  In case you don&#8217;t remember, my love for Scott Pilgrim is so strong that I attended a midnight release party for the sixth and final book, Scott Pilgrim&#8217;s Finest Hour. The series is funny, heartwarming, and full of awesome action and video game references. Well, now we get Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, an adaptation of all six books, wrapped up into one epic movie of epic epicness.  That&#8217;s right, all six books are jam packed into one movie.  Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright got the job of directing a cast, headed by Michael Cena and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.  Did the movie live up to my love of the books? Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, for those who haven&#8217;t seen any trailers or read any of the books, tell the story of ol&#8217; Scott, who&#8217;s met a beautiful girl named Ramona.  They start dating, just for Scott to find out that, in order for them to live happily ever after, he needs to fight (and defeat) her seven EVIL exes.  Sounds pretty easy, when you&#8217;re as skilled as Scott&#8230;except when one of them has super powers, another has ninja skills, and one can fly&#8230;surrounded with singing vampire girls. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is probably the most ADD movie you&#8217;re likely to see&#8230;maybe ever.  I&#8217;ve always said that, despite the fact that an hour and a half of pure action sounds like a great idea in theory&#8230;it....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a Sylvester Stallone fan my entire life.  Just something about the guy and his rise to fame I find inspiring.  I remember the bad Stallone years, right after Get Carter.  That film flopped and no one liked it (I did), but then it was followed by either limited release movies or straight-to-DVD fare&#8230;not good for one of the biggest action stars of all time. Still, Stallone managed, by revisiting old characters, to revive his career into a place it hasn&#8217;t been in years.  Rocky Balboa did well at the box office, and was a damn good movie.  Following that, he did Rambo which again did well in box office and critical reviews.  I&#8217;m really happy to see Stallone putting out quality work again, and apparently so are a lot of people. But as exciting as it may have been to see Rocky and Rambo one more time&#8230;the announcement of The Expendables got everyone foaming at the mouth.  Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Robert, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, and cameos by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis?  How could you possibly go wrong?  This would surely be the greatest action movie of all time&#8230;.right? The Expendables works best when stuff is blowing up.  Though you don&#8217;t have quite the same amount of amazing gore as Rambo, there&#8217;s plenty of exploding buildings and people, tons of people getting shot and knived, and plenty of manly manliness.  The last thirty minutes of the film are non-stop....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday night, a buddy of mine and I decided to finally have the horror movie marathon we&#8217;ve been talking about for months now&#8230;a Freakin&#8217; Fulci Friday Film Fest!  What did Freakin&#8217; Fulci Friday Film Fest entail? 3 Lucio Fulci Films &#8211; City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and House by the Cemetary Italian beer &#8211; in this case, Peroni and Birra Moretti Italian food &#8211; pizza qualified because we were lazy With all three elements in place, we prepared ourselves to venture into the oddness of early 80&#8242;s Italian horror! Unbeknownst to me until that night (my buddy is much more involved in researching this stuff than I am), all three of these movies were released between 1980 and 1981, star the same leading lady (in fact, a good number of the cast is the same in each film), and apparently make up an unofficial Gates of Hell trilogy&#8230;which makes sense for the first two &#8211; not sure how the third one fits in.  So with a nice tall glass of Birra Moretti in hand, we started the show in chronological order, with&#8230;. City of the Living Dead The first entry in the Gates of Hell trilogy is City of the Living Dead.  Originally released in 1980 (1983 in the USA), City of the Living Dead was the first film Fulci’s made after his hit movie Zombie (aka Zombi 2.)  In City of the Living Dead, a priest hangs himself in a cemetery in the small town of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really dislike Will Ferrell.  I mean, sure, I like Old School just like every other dude, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve outright enjoyed any film since then where he was the lead (or one of the leads).  Maybe it was because I wasn&#8217;t too familiar with him when Old School came out, and I soon came to realize that, yes, he&#8217;s that damned annoying all the time. Yet for some odd reason, I thought that The Other Guys would be different.  After all, with a cast that included Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, and The Rock, it couldn&#8217;t be that bad&#8230;.could it? In The Other Guys, The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson are the super cops that can do no wrong.  Thing is, they hate to do paperwork after the destroy a city block, so that kind of crap is left up to the other guys, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.  When something horrifying (and hilarious) happens to the super cops, the rest of the losers in the precinct scramble to become the next superstar hero cops. I have to admit&#8230;I enjoyed the movie.  I didn&#8217;t LOVE it, or think that it was really comedic gold or anything, but it had some genuine laughs and, unlike some of the other team ups between Ferrell and director Adam McKay (Step Brothers, Talladega Nights, Anchorman), I never felt bored.  Those other films all neared the two hour mark (or passed it) with large sections between laughs.  Not....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future is a 1987-88 sci-fi/action television series  that ran for 22 episodes in Canadian/American syndication. A toy line was also produced by Mattel, and during each episode there was a segment that included visual and audio material which interacted with the toys. Christmas of 1987 was ALL ABOUT Captain Power for me.  Captain Power pajamas, action figures, VHS tapes, vehicles&#8230;literally, I had just about everything Captain Power that you could get.  I adored the adventures of the Soldiers of the Future, the resistance against Lord Dread and his Bio-Dread Empire. Shockingly, you can pick up the series on DVD or Blu-Ray (unofficially) at www.captainpower.com.  I decided to give the adventures of Jonathan Power and his team of rebels another shot, remembering them fondly from my youth&#8230; I was surprised to find that there isn&#8217;t so much of an origin episode.  You&#8217;re told everything you need to know about the history of the world and the formation of the Soldiers of the Future during the beginning credits, and thrown right into the middle of a mission from there.  I re-watched the first few episodes of the show, and was surprised to find very little continuity from episode to episode.  Most episodes are self-contained, which isn&#8217;t bad &#8230; it just makes the show feel like more of a &#8220;live action cartoon&#8221; than I originally remember. That&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s bad.  In fact, though there are some laughably bad elements of the show, the writing....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember, after seeing the trailer for Dinner for Schmucks, thinking &#8220;Christ on a bike, who the hell would want to see that movie?&#8221; before realizing that my buddy sitting next to me was excited about it.  Begrudgingly, I agreed to see it with him, because he&#8217;s that movie buddy that will typically go see the films with me that no one else wants to see (except for Nightmare on Elm Street&#8230;looks like I&#8217;m waiting for the DVD on that one). Before the film, I made sure to have a good amount to drink &#8211; what had I signed myself up for, I thought.  I hate hate HATE Steve Carrell.  I like Paul Rudd, but I find that the guy is starting to get into a bit of a rut, always playing the nice, straight guy in comparison to some kind of wacky other actor.  Not only that, it was directed by Jay Roach, who directed the abysmal Meet the Parents movies.  Not a strong pedigree&#8230;. &#8230;but even I have to admit that I didn&#8217;t hate the film.  While I really don&#8217;t think I have a strong desire to ever see it again, Dinner for Schmucks does keep the laughs coming for the majority of the time.  A remake of the 1998 French film The Dinner Game (&#8220;Le Dîner de Cons&#8220;), Dinner for Schmucks is much less mean-spirited than its predecessor.  While the idea of a &#8220;dinner for idiots&#8221; sounds like you&#8217;re in for a dark comedy full of mean-spirited....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dinner theaters are tricky to pull off.  There&#8217;s simply not one that&#8217;s going to please everyone.  Hardcore moviegoers get annoyed at being interrupted during the movie with servers bringing food and drink.  Casual moviegoers are turned off at the expense of the typically overpriced food.  Not only that, dinner theaters are hard to maintain &#8211; you think spilled soda and popcorn are hard to clean up?  Imagine mixing in beer, pizza, and burgers. Drinking beer while watching a movie sounds like a great time and all, but is it really an enjoyable moviegoing experience.  New to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (with locations in Florida already open), Cobb&#8217;s new Cinebistro line of movie theaters attempts to remedy the issues with typical dinner theaters, making a truly extravagant experience for moviegoers.  But is it worth the price of admission? Cobb Cinebistro has a couple of basic principles: Better food.  Cinebistro&#8217;s food is of a better quality than you&#8217;re used to getting in movie theaters.  Fresh ingredients, dishes designed by actual chefs. No interruptions during the movie theater.  If you want to eat, arrive to the movie theater 30 minutes ahead of time and all food will arrive before the beginning credits start.  If you want more items after the movie has begun, you have to go out to the concession stand like a normal moviegoer. Better experience.  After 6pm, the movie theater is 21 and up only.  Not only that, there&#8217;s a dress code designed to keep out folks who....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not easy to make a good superhero movie.  It&#8217;s really difficult to get the nuances that will please comic book fans, while still pleasing a general audience. While the DC Animated movies do still try to appeal to a general audience, the focus is definitely on pleasing that core comic book fanbase.  With films like Crisis on Two Earths, The New Frontier, and Green Lantern, you can still come in with just a passing knowledge of the main cast, but it helps to know the comics upon which the stories are based. We talked on a recent Funnybooks After Hours about our love for Batman animated movies.  Mask of the Phantasm and Return of the Joker are not only among the best Batman animated movies, but the best Batman films of all time, and maybe even the best comic book movies.  Batman: Under the Red Hood is due out next Tuesday, July 27th, adapting the controversial Judd Winick storyline that brought Jason Todd back to life.   Does this film live up to the standards set up by previous Batman animated cinema?  Review after the jump. Years ago, the second Robin, Jason Todd, was voted to be killed off by comic readers, tired of the character, who didn&#8217;t hit off with fans quite as much as the first Robin, Dick Grayson.  So for years it was said that the only characters who stayed dead in comics were Jason Todd, Barry Allen, and Bucky.  Well, all three are alive now,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know of a single movie watcher who doesn&#8217;t think that Christopher Nolan is a talented director.  I, personally, think of Christopher Nolan as a more tech-savvy Michael Mann.  I could imagine Nolan directing a film like Heat, were it to somehow involve some kind of sci-fi element.  He&#8217;s one of my favorite modern directors, and listening to him talk about filmmaking (especially his distaste for 3D) makes me respect the guy even more. That being said, he&#8217;s not perfect.  I really kind of hate Insomnia, the movie he did after his big breakthrough Memento. I love The Prestige and, obviously, his Batman films, but I do find that he needs to inject a little more humor and brevity into his movies.  There&#8217;s very little human warmth and lightness to brighten up the intense emotions.  Like I said, I still enjoy the films, but it would be nice to have some comedic relief in them. Inception was released this past Friday with many critics already calling it the best film of the year.  The commercial promises a big, stunning blockbuster full of action like we&#8217;ve never seen before.  Does it live up to the high standards that Nolan has set with his previous movies?  Or does a movie about robbing people&#8217;s minds while dreaming put its audience to sleep.  Full review after the jump. Inception tells the story of Cobb and his team of extractors &#8211; they go into people&#8217;s dreams (for a hefty price) and &#8220;extract&#8221; thoughts &#8211;....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every time I think of ALF, the furry little bastard who took the world by storm back in the last 80&#8242;s, I think of the Ben Stiller movie Permanent Midnight, about television writer Jerry Stahl, who was on drugs while working on the show.  Weird movie. Anyway, this week for Good Old Days, at the suggestion of fellow Funnybooks host Wayne, I decided to give ALF another try.  After all, the character was a phenomenon almost the entire time he was on TV.  Surely, this was quality television&#8230;right?  Right? When I told fellow Funnybooks host Aron that I was going to watch ALF because I remember liking it when it first aired, he said, sternly, &#8220;I refuse to talk about ALF with you.&#8221;  I was kind of surprised &#8211; why such the disdain for our favorite furry alien?  Surely the character held a place in my heart &#8211; was Aron&#8217;s just cold and dying? Or was he warning me? I re-watched the first three episode of ALF this week and, I have to admit&#8230;I didn&#8217;t hate them.  I know that I guess I should have, because, really, ALF is full of everything that&#8217;s wrong in sitcom television, but I just couldn&#8217;t bring myself to hate it.  I really do love ALF as a character, but I found myself realizing that, despite as much as I remember liking the show&#8230;it really wasn&#8217;t all that funny. Maybe it&#8217;s just because every joke feels forced.  The family that ALF lives with (the Tanners)....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the big news all over the web is that Ed Norton, who starred as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk, will no longer be playing the Hulk.  First, Marvel said it wasn’t a monetary decision, but instead because Norton wasn’t someone who “embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members.” Norton’s agent got pissed, saying that Marvel’s remarks were “offensive” and “a purposefully misleading, inappropriate attempt to paint our client in a negative light.” (more info here) Norton finally chimed in, deciding to play the bigger man in the situation, saying, “I know this is disappointing to many people and that makes me sad. But I am very sincerely grateful to Marvel for extending the offer and even more so for giving me the chance to be a part of the Hulk’s long and excellent history.&#8221; Marvel’s expected to announce a “name” actor at San Diego Comic Con, with Joaquin Phoenix’s name being thrown around as if he’s supposed to be easier to deal with than Ed Norton. Now, Norton, despite trying to be Mr. Nice Guy during public appearances, had some major difficulties with Marvel during the making of The Incredible Hulk.  Despite working on the script, he was denied a writer’s credit on the film, and there was a well-publicized bickering between him, the director, and Marvel on final cut for the film, with the final cut ultimately being one which emphasized action, removing some of the more “talky” bits in between set....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past Friday, the Robert Rodriguez produced Predators, the third entry in the popular franchise (not counting the AvP entries), was released, and fan enthusiasm is at an all time high for the franchise.  With mostly positive reviews and a decent box office opening, is this a revitalization of the beloved franchise? I loved the first two Predator movies, and with talent like Robert Rodriguez, and direction from Nimrod Antal (Vacancy), was definitely excited about this newest entry.  Does Predators live up to the hype?  After twenty years, does it bring life back to the alien hunters?  Or should they have been left dead? Warning: very MILD spoilers after the jump! First things first &#8211; I&#8217;m not an Adrien Brody fan.  Never really have been.  He&#8217;s just&#8230;funny lookin&#8217;.  And really, casting him as a bad ass mercenary that takes on the larger-than-life Predator creatures?  I didn&#8217;t see it.  Apparently, he lobbied for the part, and worked out to be in great shape for it.  And I have to admit to being wrong &#8211; he does a DAMN good job in Predators.  He&#8217;s appropriately gruff, and he really is imposing, and you can see why a group of killers would follow him. Predators begins with Brody&#8217;s character Royce falling through the air, his chute opening just in time for him not to die.  He quickly finds that he&#8217;s not the only one, though, and comes across a group of the world&#8217;s greatest killers &#8211; some honorable, some not so much.  After....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know, very few cartoons that we loved as kids hold up when we try to watch them as adults.  Sure, there’s still charm to shows like G.I. Joe and Transformers, but even then, the animation is so dated, you feel a little ashamed for liking them in the first place.  Especially when it comes to lame slapstick characters and public service announcements – ugh. I remember next to nothing about Defenders of the Earth, save for its catchy theme song (for which Stan Lee wrote the lyrics!), and a Flash Gordon and Phantom action figures that seemed to pop up in different places in my house (I’m sure they’re in the attic now) for years. For those who don’t remember (or know), Defenders of the Earth was an animated television series that was produced in 1986, and featured characters from three comic strips distributed by King Features Syndicate—Flash Gordon, the Phantom, and Mandrake the Magician—battling the Flash Gordon villain Ming the Merciless in the year 2015. The show also included Rick Gordon (son of Flash Gordon), Jedda Walker (daughter of the Phantom), Kshin (adopted son of Mandrake), Mandrake&#8217;s assistant Lothar, and Lothar&#8217;s son L.J. The show lasted for 65 episodes, which is shocking to me considering how little of them I remember. The show is really not remembered fondly by fans.  I don’t know if it’s the writing or the quality of animation, but I can’t find anyone who really remembers the show that fondly.  But man, I love....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our Funnybooks podcast, we focus on current events, and usually large events.  Most times, the conversations are constrained so that we can fit everything into an hour or so, but here at Funnybooks After Hours the discussion continues to topics not covered, greater questions of events in comic past or whatever else strikes our fancy. Walking up the alley, you are unsure if this is the right place.  A non-descript door halfway down the alley catches your eye and after a brief scan of the area, you see the marker that indicates that this is in fact the place.  Etched into a brick above the building is a bat symbol with an ‘X’ through the middle and a lightning bolt below it. Knocking on the door, you hear a grating sound as a man with a luchador mask and vampire fangs opens the door, “What’s the password?” he asks.  “Beak is lame” you reply, nodding as he steps aside.  Visibility is limited, but as you look around you realize that you found the place.  Stepping up to the microphone, the five recliners are set up on a small stage in the back, as the crew eagerly awaits the question that drove you all the way here, to this secret place. This week’s question: What was your favorite movie based on a comic book? Wayne smiles, “You know I really want to go obscure and flex my geek muscle here, but I&#8217;m going to be honest with myself.  I am....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know that, technically, Superman isn&#8217;t really American.  But, seriously, what&#8217;s more American than the concept of Superman?  After all, we&#8217;re talking about what&#8217;s been referred to by creators as &#8220;the ultimate immigrant story.&#8221;  An immigrant child brought to America, where he is raised as an American, and ultimately ends up fighting for&#8230;the American Way. Trying to discuss the history of Superman in animation, really, deserves a book.  There is so much story to tell behind the classic Flescher Superman cartoons, and all the various incarnations since, that to try to fit it all in one article would not only be futile, it would be an injustice.  And we all know Supes is all about the justice. Still, there is one thing we can discuss in our limited space here, and that&#8217;s Superman Animated Movies.  As you&#8217;ll find out in this week&#8217;s Funnybooks After Hours (and you already probably gathered from Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie), we&#8217;re huge fans of Batman animated movies.  And, honestly, how can you not be?  Mask of the Phantasm, Subzero, Return of the Joker&#8230;the list of quality Batman animated movies is vast, and many people prefer them to the live-action counterparts (except for that Mystery of the Batwoman movie that no one likes). But Superman hasn&#8217;t had a ton of luck when it comes to animated movies &#8211; the Superman animated series by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm is loved by fans, but not quite as much as the Batman one.  Not only that, the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was asked that in the spirit of our nation&#8217;s birthday, indicate a favorite patriotic item, superhero, movie, etc.  I know most thoughts would drift to the hero who wears the flag with him, and he&#8217;s a darn good choice.  Here are a few of my favorite patriotic movies. Saving Private Ryan: Listen, if you&#8217;ve played a lot of video games, you have been deluged with World War II media, but for my money this one was the best.  I think that this was one of Tom Hank&#8217;s best movies.  The first few minutes of the movie were the best indication of what it was like to storm the beaches of Normandy. The story tells of one unit, whose job it is to get Private Ryan out of the fight, as all four of his brothers had died in the fighting.  The unit takes hit after hit trying to save just this one soldier, and Spielberg showed the ups and downs of the soldier&#8217;s lives in the Big One. The Patriot: A darker movie with Mel Gibson (yes, he&#8217;s shown to be kind of a d-bag lately, but that doesn&#8217;t take away from this movie for me) as Benjamin Martin a lone father struggling with watching his oldest son sign up for war, and also watching as his younger sons also get blood on their hands, following his own bloody legacy as a soldier.  Benjamin doesn&#8217;t want to get involved, but suddenly he takes this war for liberty personally when....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[July 4th, American Independence Day, is a holiday full of tradition.  It&#8217;s a day to spend with family and friends, eating barbecue, enjoyingthe music of John Philip Sousa, and blowing stuff up.  A 20-year tradition at my house is watching the Tony Award winning Sherman Edwards musical, 1776. The musical, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning Peter Stone book,  tells the story of the debate for American independence, the origins of the Declaration of Independence and the wrangling it took to get it signed.  1776 features memorable musical numbers that you&#8217;ll hum to yourself for days after watching with performances from actors at the top of their craft. William Daniels (voice of KITT in Knight Rider) plays the obnoxious and disliked John Adams, a lovesick Thomas Jefferson is portrayed by Ken Howard (TVs White Shadow), and blacklisted stage actor Howard Da Silva steals the show as Benjamin Franklin.  My favorite performance, though,  is masterfully provided by John Collum (TVs Holling Vincoeur in Northern Exposure).  Collum has a commanding, beautiful voice.  His song, Molasses to Rum, chills me each time I hear it. In addition to returning to the film each year, I catch the musical on stage when I can.  I hate that I never got to see Brent Spiner (TNG&#8217;s Data) as John Adams. 1776 airs today on Turner Classic Movies at 2:30 pm Eastern/1:30 Central.  It&#8217;s available on Netflix, but sadly does not stream. At it&#8217;s core, 1776 documents a beautiful love that dare not speak its name....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a sad state of affairs when I realize that the first movie review we’ve had on the site in a while is for a friggin’ Twilight movie.  Either I’m not seeing enough movies…or I’m not seeing anything worth talking about. The new Twilight movie, Eclipse, was released this week, and has already been touted as “The Best Twilight movie!” and “The best movie of the summer,” neither of which really seems like stellar praise to me.  Not only that, every review I’ve read has seemed to indicate that director David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) has made a “good” Twilight film, and have really emphasized how “great” the final battle sequence is in the film.  I have one thing to say to all of those reviewers…. Shame on you. Shame.  On.  You. The final battle in question amounts to less than five minutes of slow motion computer generated wolves (which still look crappy, by the way) fighting teenage vampires, who somehow now break apart like glass, even though they’re supposedly REALLY strong.  I mean, I guess I shouldn’t have expected much, but when I read about “flying body parts,” I instantly imagine the Michael Bay Pearl Harbor director’s cut, or Kill Bill.  Instead I get what looks like the equivalent of popping out the arms of your He-Man action figure and throwing it across the room. So I’m probably going to ruin the hell out of this film but, really, you’re kind of in one of two....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know&#8230;I love the character of the Green Hornet, I love the concept of the Green Hornet, and I absolutely love the TV series that starred Bruce Lee as Kato.  Unfortunately, I&#8217;m not entirely sure what the hell the folks at Universal have been trying to do with the property.  First they hired Kevin Smith as the writer and, when that fell through, went with direction by Michel Gondry and script by Pineapple Express team Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.  Then, they cast Rogen as the title character and Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou as Kato.  Seriously, WTH? And then there&#8217;s this trailer&#8230; I&#8217;m really not sold on this film, based on the trailer.  It&#8217;s really kind of an odd-looking film, and the dialogue seems a little forced&#8230;well, a lot forced.  Not only that, the choice of Rogen as the hero, despite his attempts to get in shape, appear to be as bad of an idea as I originally thought.  I&#8217;m hoping as we near the release of the film in January, the film starts to look better.  Fingers crossed. Am I the only one who finds it funny how similar this looks to the Kevin Smith film that supposedly got scrapped (and is now being adapted as a Dynamite Entertainment comic). What do you think?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I DARE ANYTHING! I am Skeletor!&#8221; I still remember when I saw Masters of the Universe in a movie theater.  My family and I had gone out of town, but there was no way I was missing out on the friggin He-Man movie!  I begged and I pleaded, and we as a family went to a local movie theater (if I remember correctly, we were in Lake George, NY) to see the movie and please the whining seven-year old. After all, I had been into He-Man for YEARS.  I remember buying the toys and being so happy because, even though the boxes said &#8220;Ages 5 and Up,&#8221; my folks still would purchase them for me.  And I had a ton of them &#8211; every action figure I could find.  It was almost like a regular event, hitting Toys &#8216;R Us to see if I could find a new action figure (and let&#8217;s be honest, all of them were just repainted He-Man toys anyway).  I remember standing in the middle of the street in front of my grandparents&#8217; house one night yelling &#8220;He-Man!&#8221; because I had just gotten a new action figure. Anyway, I digress.  We saw the Masters of the Universe motion picture in a local movie theater, and man, was it a piece of crap movie theater.  There had to have been less than a hundred seats, and the screen was no bigger than a bedsheet hung on the wall.  I had actually seen a bit of footage at....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Revealed today on DC&#8217;s Source Blog is a peek at some test footage put together for a potential Blue Beetle live action series, and I have to say&#8230;it looks pretty sweet. According to Geoff Johns, I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Blue Beetle’s introduction way back in INFINITE CRISIS. I’ve said it before, but thanks to the BLUE BEETLE series launched by Keith Giffen and John Rogers with a great design by Cully Hamner, Jaime Reyes rocks. Great character, great story, great look. He’s already appeared in animation, had action figures and right now he’s on my computer in live-action glory. I have an early special effects test that has been floating around of what his armored scarab-suit could look like. This isn’t final. This isn’t greenlit. It’s only a test that was done. We still have a long way to go to see if we can get this off the ground and a lot of people to jump on board… Let&#8217;s hope that those people do jump on board and we see this on our TV screens soon!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, I used to love The A-Team growing up.  Especially Mr. T.  I even watched the Mr. T cartoon, where he teamed up with a group of gymnasts or something to solve crimes (I think&#8230;I really don&#8217;t remember it all that well). We&#8217;ve seen some good movies made out of old TV shows (Miami Vice was decent) and there have definitely been a good number of stinkers.  But, I have to admit that the trailers for The A-Team made it look pretty damn awesome.  Not only that, it had a solid cast, featuring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, and Sharlto Copley (who I totally didn&#8217;t recognize as the dude from District 9), and a good director, Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin&#8217; Aces, and a kick-ass The Hire short for BMW) . The trailer for the film made it look like a lot of crazy fun like we haven&#8217;t seen in our action movies for a while, and I was hoping that the movie lived up to the trailers. Having seen the movie today, I can tell you that it does &#8211; The A-Team kicks ass.  Hardcore. Full review after the jump. The A-Team begins with the tale of how the team gets together.  We get a big, crazy action sequence to introduce us to the gang and, really&#8230;it&#8217;s nothing but big crazy action from then on.  There&#8217;s nothing but absolutely impossible action scene after another, featuring the team surviving things no one else could survive, and doing things no one could possibly....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I&#8217;m not just joshin&#8217; ya.  It&#8217;s real &#8211; the news is here. &#8220;Supernatural The Animation turns out to be much bigger than previously thought. This morning, ANN reports that Madhouse, the acclaimed anime studio behind Death Note, Paprika and segments of Batman: Gotham Knight, is producing 22 episodes that cover the first two seasons of the live-action CW series: &#8216;The anime project will not only remake the best episodes from the live-action version, but also depict original episodes not seen in the live-action version. Those original episodes will include prologues of the Winchester brothers’ childhood, anime-only enemies, and episodes featuring secondary characters from the live-action version.&#8217;&#8221; Yeah, quite an interesting take, and by a quality animation studio like Madhouse.  I&#8217;d be curious to see what they&#8217;re going to do about voices &#8211; sure, for the Japanese audiences, I&#8217;d imagine that they wouldn&#8217;t get Jared Padelecki and Jensen Ackles, but what about the inevitable American translation?  Will we see the stars of the show voicing their animated counterparts?  What about the remakes of the existing live-action episodes &#8211; will they just recycle voices from the show?  Interesting, indeed, and it sounds like we&#8217;ll get answers sooner rather than later, as the series will be released on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan in three volumes beginning Jan. 12.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mean, it&#8217;s hard to say that a film is going to be good just by looking at the cast, but the upcoming remake of one my favorite 80&#8242;s flicks, Fright Night, seems to be shaping up pretty nicely.  The script review at CC2K seems to not think much of it, but let&#8217;s be honest &#8211; did the original really have that great of a script?  They say it&#8217;s &#8220;Disturbia with fangs,&#8221; but wasn&#8217;t the original just Rear Window with fangs?  And isn&#8217;t Disturbia just&#8230;well, Rear Window? Really, I think a cast like this can elevate mediocre script writing to cinema gold.  Just announced today are David Tennant as Peter Vincent, and Chrisopher Mintz-Plasse as &#8220;Evil Ed.&#8221;  I mean, not that Mintz-Plasse is cinema awesomeness, but he&#8217;s at least always fun to watch, and after seeing Kick Ass, I think he could pull off Evil Ed quite nicely.  And David Tennant as Peter Vincent?  I mean, that&#8217;s just inspired casting.  Also already announced are Anton Yelchin as Charlie (a role originated by William Ragsdale) and Colin Farrell as Jerry the vampire (Chris Sarandon’s part in the original). I have to admit&#8230;unlike most remakes, this cast seems to REALLY fit the roles in question.  As long as they don&#8217;t remake Fright Night 2 (fuck that movie), I think we might have a bonafide quality remake coming our way&#8230;besides, didn&#8217;t I say this would make a great remake?]]></description>

Now we&#8217;ll see if it ever happens.  Still, this is a mighty cool lookin&#8217; video, and seems like it would make a helluva movie!]]></description>

Still, the one thing that the show is still good for is previews of upcoming big releases&#8230;luckily, because of the wonders of the internet (and your buds at IoM), you can watch all the good ones below.  Yes, good ones.  Sorry Eclipse.]]></description>

What made me decide to post this picture?  &#8220;Anyone can be chosen?&#8221;  Um&#8230;.not really.  Actually, very few can be chosen, and have the appropriate level of willpower to be a Green Lantern.  Sorry, I know that&#8217;s fanboy-ish of me&#8230;but it bugs me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man&#8230;how cool would it be to walk into a comic shop, with Hollywood-level money, and pick up all the crap you wanted for &#8220;research?&#8221;  Robert Downey Jr visited a Hollywood comic shop and apparently picked up some Avengers and Iron Man comics this past Wednesday (he must not have known that new comic book day was on Thursday this week). Sadly, had he listened to Funnybooks, or contacted us for consulting first, we would have told him not to buy any of the stuff that he bought.  Seriously, looking at the pictures&#8230;Iron Manual?  Seriously?  But, it&#8217;s still pretty cool to imagine seeing a big name star like Downey in your LCS, isn&#8217;t it?  I&#8217;ve never seen anyone dressed this dapper at my comic shops!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This news has kind of been all over the web this week, but I&#8217;m really just kind of formulating my thoughts on it. I was excited a couple of years ago (2003, I think) when I heard that they were doing a new incarnation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, closer in line to the black and white comics, with slight touches of the cartoons that I grew up on.  When I saw the show, I have to admit that, other than an abysmal theme song, I found it a pretty quality show, and it adapted way more of the Eastman and Laird storylines than I expected. The reason I&#8217;m talking about TMNT is because it shows me that, in cartoons, you can return back to an old idea and make it new again sometimes.  I&#8217;m hoping the same holds true for the upcoming reboot of Thundercats.  While I&#8217;m not big on the idea that they&#8217;re referring to the show as anime, they are working with the studio who also did some work for The AniMatrix and the recent Halo Legends, so that&#8217;s a plus.  Plus, they&#8217;ve got some real talent exec producing the thing.  Check out the full press release below: Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) announced today a partnership with Bandai America Incorporated, as the global master toy licensee for the animated series, &#8220;ThunderCats.&#8221; Under the new agreement, Bandai and their international affiliates will create and distribute products worldwide that will complement both the classic brand property, as well....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hot on the heels of the Captain America Costume Leak from yesterday the concept    art for Thor has now been released as well.  We have already seen the production still to the left so there is really nothing new here other than a glimpse at Mjolnir.  What is interesting is comparing the concept art to the still we see that they did a VERY good job of creating a costume that looks like the concept.  This gives me great hope for the Captain America movie since I loved that costume. This costume seems like a slightly modernized version of what Thor is currently wearing in the comics.  I would love to see someone with better photoshop skills than I take these leaked concept art pictures and put them side by side to give us a preview of what the Avengers are going to look like. So what does everyone think?  Was this a deliberate leak to capitalize on the Captain America leak?  What do you think of the design?  Are you as excited as I am by the lack of little wings on both costumes? Read on to see the actual leaked designs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that designs for the costume to be using in the new Captain America movie have begun leaking online. A special thanks to my friend Sari for pointing this out to me.  This design has been confirmed by numerous sources, but like all internet rumors should be taken with a grain of salt.  Time will also tell how close the physical costume will be to the original designs. I personally like the look.  It has obvious calls to the WWII era uniforms and looks to be both functional and not too cheesy.  It seems to both capture the feel of the comic costume while adding in protective features in a manner we have not seen done this well since the redesign of Batman’s costume in Batman Begins.    I have heard complaints about the suspenders, but based on the timeframe they just seem to fit for me. So what do you all think about this design?  Does it live up to your expectations?  Keep reading to see more images at full size.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, Jake Gyllenhall and Gemma Arterton take to the big screens in the big-budget Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, based on the best-selling game of the same name.  Perhaps the biggest obstacle that our heroes face isn&#8217;t the villains of the film, but rather Sex and City 2, also opening this weekend and sure to provide lofty competition. But is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time worth the trek out to the theater?  Video game movies have had a wildly uneven history, with most falling on the side of pure drivel.  However, with a powerhouse like Jerry Bruckheimer trying to create a new franchise along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean, and talented director Mike Newell at the helm, surely it&#8217;s worth the price of admission, right? Check out my full review after the jump! In Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Dastan, a young thief who&#8217;s adopted by the King of Persia, is framed for the murder of the King.  Together with a Princess of a neighboring kingdom, they&#8217;re on the run, their only advantage a special dagger that, when filled with special sand from the Hourglass of Time, gives the bearer the ability to turn back time up to a minute.  As they try to discover who framed Dastan, and return the dagger to a place in which it can&#8217;t hurt anybody, Dastan and Tamina have to deal with the forces of the Persian army, a rogue band of thieves....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday, the second season finale of the television show Fringe, &#8220;Over There, Part 2,&#8221; aired, a rare extended adventure into the alternate universe that Fringe has only briefly given us glimpses of until this point. Fringe is one of those rare shows where the mythology episodes seem to outshine the &#8220;monster of the week&#8221; ones.  I find myself typically preferring just the opposite &#8211; shows like X-Files, Supernatural, and others seemed to always shine in the one-shots, rather than the ongoing mythology episodes.  Fringe?  Just the opposite &#8211; one-off episodes felt like X-Files ripoffs, and the mythology episodes were the strongest of the bunch. Check out my thoughts on season two of Fringe, and it&#8217;s recently aired season finale, after the jump. I&#8217;ve really enjoyed season two of Fringe, but do feel strongly that episodes not related to the mythology, such as &#8220;Night of Desirable Objects,&#8221; which didn&#8217;t suck, were definitely weaker than the rest.  Lapses in the show&#8217;s logic, such as the ability to travel great distances in a matter of minutes (especially in busy New York City, or Boston) really took me out of the story.  However, there were some fantastic season two episodes &#8211; the opener, &#8220;A New Day in the Old Town,&#8221; featured the death of a beloved character.  Other shining moments included &#8220;Earthling,&#8221; &#8220;August,&#8221; &#8220;Peter,&#8221; and the fun musical episode, &#8220;Brown Betty.&#8221; Though we&#8217;ve known since season one, Peter finally finds out that he&#8217;s from the alternate universe.  He gets pissed at Walter, and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: AICN Okay, so apparently one superhero show isn&#8217;t enough to fill the void left by Heroes being canceled (not that any of us watched it anymore anyway).  In addition to The Cape (check out the trailer for that one here), ABC is throwing their hat in the ring with No Ordinary Family, which kind of looks like The Incredibles, which was kind of inspired by the Fantastic Four, and happens to star Michael Chiklis, who played The Thing in the Fantastic Four movies.  Whew. I have to say that, while The Cape seems like it could be cheesy fun (I&#8217;m guessing it won&#8217;t last very long), the production values do seem better on No Ordinary Family, and it looks like it&#8217;s less cheesy, but still fun.  Also in the show are Julie Benz (Dexter), and a whole bunch of other people who look familiar but who&#8217;s names you probably could care less about.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not a fan of novels that flaunt their influences, particularly when I’m familiar with the influences in question. It’s like paying to see a new band and discovering only after the set begins that you’re watching a cover band. The music may be competent, but if you wanted to hear those songs, you could just listen to the original stuff. It’s clear from The Devil You Know that Mike Carey really likes Raymond Chandler. I had that influence spotted from the first chapter; I didn’t need the name-check he provides in Chapter 22. The problem is Carey&#8217;s not as clever at dialogue or internal monologue as Chandler was. And Chandler had a lot more love for and knowledge of 1940s Los Angeles than Carey has for modern London. A tube-stop itinerary does not compelling reading make, nor does it tell you anything meaningful about London. When he gets out of his own way, Carey is a good storyteller. When most of the Hellblazer and Raymond Chandler residue is burned off, his talent for world-building and for scripting action scenes shines through. I enjoyed the descriptions of exorcism-by-music. The fights and chases were compelling, and I turned the pages as eagerly as anyone caught up in the action. Unfortunately, a story needs more than fights and chases, and that’s where the book falls down. There are problems in this book that a good editor should have fixed. For example, Carey makes a point of telling us how competent and worldly....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ninth season finale of Smallville aired on Friday, concluding a very odd season of the long-running television show.  Though this season introduced us to the first live-action appearances of many DC characters, it also focused mainly on the relationship between Clark Kent and a newly resurrected group of Kandorians, led by Zod.  We met Metallo, saw Clark take on an actual &#8220;costume,&#8221; and were treated to the beginning of the classic Lois/Clark relationship. The conclusion to the season, &#8220;Salvation,&#8221; resolved the season-long Kandorian storyline, while also setting up for some interesting new characters and storylines for the coming season.  In addition, a certain long-time character bit the dust (again), and we were treated to a glimpse into the future. But was the episode any good?  Check my review after the jump! To tell you the truth, I&#8217;m shocked Smallville is going to make it to ten seasons.  It seems like for the last five years, there have been so many talks of budget cuts and actors playing hard to get, I&#8217;m surprised no one just said &#8220;screw it,&#8221; and threw in the towel.  After all, the ratings aren&#8217;t stellar (are any CW-shows&#8217;?), and they seemed on a steady decline since the how was moved to the dreaded Friday death slot that has killed many a genre show. I watched Smallville when it first came on, dropping off around the fourth season sometime when it seemed like the show was going nowhere.  The season premieres and finales have typically been....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s not Saturday, but, as long time readers will remember, we did actually have a column called Supernatural Saturdays for a little while! Last night, the fifth season finale of Supernatural aired and as reports have stated, for all intents and purposes, was originally written in mind as a series finale, until the CW decided to pick the show up for another season. I&#8217;m trying to avoid saying too much here on the main page, to avoid spoilers for anyone who watches the show on DVD, or may not have seen the finale yet.  For those who have, or those curious, let&#8217;s talk after the jump, shall we? Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS within! Wow&#8230;it&#8217;s been a while since I wrote one of these.  I think my lack of dedication to the Supernatural Saturday column has been, honestly, because this season of Supernatural has kind of dragged on for me.  I like seeing angels and demons in fiction, but this storyline, which really started in the third season of the show, has kind of overstayed its welcome with me.  For a while this season, I felt no rush to see the episodes while they aired on Thursday nights, instead just watching them whenever I got to them. Since season three of the show, after the conclusion of the whole &#8220;Yellow-Eyed Demon&#8221; storyline from the first two seasons, the series has been focused on a whole &#8220;war in heaven, Armageddon is coming&#8221; storyline that was pretty interesting at first, but has....]]></description>

My dad is a huge fan of Frazetta, and raised me to appreciate his art.  Every painting he did was iconic, and his comic and movie poster work is as beautiful today as it was upon its initial release.  It&#8217;s a shame to lose such a legendary talent.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, this is probably a couple of weeks late, but given how this film is doing at the box office, I&#8217;m guessing not a ton of our readers have actually seen it.  I haven&#8217;t heard much favorable about The Losers, honestly, with most reviews pretty much falling square on the &#8220;mediocre&#8221; end of the scale. Based on the comic of the same name, written by Andy Diggle with art by Jock, The Losers tells the story of an elite military unit that is framed for murder, who fakes their deaths to get revenge on the man who did it. I admit to not having a ton of familiarity with the comic, but I do know that it has it&#8217;s fans, and I actually do enjoy other work by Diggle and Jock.  So I came into the movie without a bias based on source material.  Still, the trailers for the film made it seem like a lot of fun, and it seems to be the first of a couple of films coming out this year that look like a throwback to the kind of action movies I grew up with. But does that make it any good?  Check out my review after the jump! I waited a couple of weeks to see The Losers, primarily, because, while I was interested in it, nobody else really seemed to be.  I finally got the chance to go out and see it (love those cheap showings) and took advantage.  While the film wasn&#8217;t exactly....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll all find out tonight at midnight (those of us attending a midnight Iron Man showing anyway), it appears as if, on the eve of Iron Man 2&#8242;s release, we may have news of a secret teaser? Insiders familiar with the trailer tell us that it shows a bunch of kids who are shooting a movie with a Super 8 camera in the seventies or eighties. When they develop the film, they notice that there&#8217;s an alien creature in the frame. Our sources also say that Super 8 is absolutely connected to 2008&#8242;s Cloverfield (possibly a prequel, but not a sequel). Interesting &#8230; as Ain&#8217;t it Cool News notes in the same article, it would be interesting for Paramount to advertise TWO alien &#8220;found footage&#8221; films simultaneously, with this and Orin Peli&#8217;s Area 51.  However, given the secrecy behind this project, do we even know it&#8217;s Abrams&#8217; related?  Maybe it actually is an Area 51 trailer? I remember when the Cloverfield trailer premiered, the entire internet was buzzing with theories and excitement about the movie, and what its title would eventually be.  I really dug Cloverfield &#8211; definitely curious as to what this trailer could mean, and looking forward to some answers!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t lie &#8211; I&#8217;ve got a little bit of mixed emotions on the news that the directors of Rec and Rec 2 are doing not one, but two more films: Major Spanish studio Filmax will produce two new [REC] films in the next couple of years called [REC] Genesis and [REC] Apocalypse from the same directors as the first two [REC] films. [REC] directors Paco Plaza and Jaume Balaguero will split directing responsibilities for the two films. Plaza will direct the first film Genesis, which much like the Batman and Star Trek franchises will return to the origin of the original infection that caused humans to turn into zombies. Paco Plaza and Luis Alejandro Berdejo (The New Daughter) will co-write Genesis with Balaguero actively involved in the development of the project. The film is expected to be delivered in the autumn of 2011. Apocalypse will be directed by Balaguero and will end the [REC] saga with the pandemic spreading to unknown proportions. Plaza will assist on the project, which is expected to be delivered in the autumn of 2012. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m super excited about more entries in the series, and I&#8217;m happy they brought back these directors, who&#8217;s talent is the reason for the film&#8217;s lasting success.  My main gripe is the rather cliche-sounding storylines they&#8217;re going with.  A prequel and a global pandemic?  Of course, I&#8217;m sur eBalguero and Plaza will find a way to impress me more than these descriptions &#8211; I just....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagi Animation has done some truly stellar work, between their TMNT and Astro Boy (review here) movies.  When news came a couple of years ago that they&#8217;d be doing a Gatchaman movie, I have to admit to scratching my head.  My only familiarity with the property was the 2002 Top Cow Battle of the Planets comic book, which I have to admit not remembering much about past the stellar art. That being said, online today, I came across a trailer for Imagi&#8217;s upcoming Gatchaman movie.  While the film appears to be plagued with financial issues, it does still appear as if there is an intention of releasing the film sometime in 2011 and now, I have to admit, I can&#8217;t wait.  This film looks absolutely stellar.  Let&#8217;s hope it really does see the light of day sometime soon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know a single card carrying geek that doesn&#8217;t profess to adore the original Highlander.  A film that is totally a product of its time (seriously, how would we feel about a movie that started with wrestling nowadays?) manages to hold a special place in our hearts that, really, is pretty miraculous, considering how fans were treated after the initial entry. After our initial adventure with Connor MacLeod (of the clan MacLeod), his mentor Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, and their immortal battle against the Kruger, we were treated to, or perhaps I should say punished by, CONSTANT disregard for established continuity; subpar quality tv, animation, video games, and films; and, as of right now, a complete radio silence on the entire franchise, since Justin Lin was announced as the director of the upcoming remake (not sure if that&#8217;s still true or not). I mean, we&#8217;re talking about a franchise where some fans don&#8217;t even know a fifth film EXISTS (The Source), much less how godforsaken awful it was.  I mean, seriously, The Source may be one of the worst films I think I&#8217;ve ever seen.  And that&#8217;s from someone who&#8217;s seen Highlander 2, Highlander 3: The Final Dimension, and Highlander: Endgame.  Yeah&#8230;they all kinda sucked.  Out of the five Highlander films, I&#8217;d probably say my order of watchability would be&#8230;. Highlander Highlander 3: The Final Dimension Highlander: Endgame Highlander 2 Highlander: The Source I never was a fan of the TV series, as it seemed to kind of contradict....]]></description>

Perhaps the trailer, which is due out with this week&#8217;s remake of Nightmare on Elm Street, will alleviate my concerns.   There are well publicized (well, not publicized, but blogged about) issues with the production that make me think otherwise though.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spoken before about Syfy&#8217;s upcoming reinvention of The Phantom, and, even though I didn&#8217;t dig the concept designs for the costume, I have to admit that, after seeing the trailer, the mini-series, premiering June 20th on SyFy Channel, looked pretty decent.  In fact, I found it very Batman Beyond-ish. Having been given the chance to see the miniseries (it&#8217;s already premiered in Canada and overseas), I have to say that the Batman Beyond comparison is actually pretty close, in addition to a good bit of obvious inspiration from Batman Begins, and some parkour thrown in for good measure.  Despite all of these influences, or maybe because of them, The Phantom turns out to be a pretty damn solid mini-series. And not only that, we get the rare satisfaction, as Phantom fans, of seeing a modern re-imagining of a classic character that actually honors the traditions of the original character, while bringing something new and exciting to the mythos. Full review after the jump. The Phantom begins with a mother and son on the run from a group of unknown criminals.  Their car is run off the road, and the child survives, later becoming adopted, his name changed to Chris Moore.  Now 24 and in law school, Chris is at the top of his game, running an online parkour site, and meeting a cute EMT who develops a strong connection with him right away.  Unfortunately, just as things are going his way, the crap hits the fan.  He&#8217;s kidnapped and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After watching only the first couple of seconds of the trailer for Future X-Cops, I knew I wanted to see it.  You have X-Men looking villains fighting a superpowered police force in the future, starring the very talented Andy Lau (The Warlords, Infernal Affairs)?  Sign me up!  Of course, as I started watching the film, I realized I should have probably sat through the entire trailer.  There were so many points during the film where I wished I would just turn it off that it&#8217;s kind of a wonder I made it through this monstrosity.  Directed by Jing Wong (a quick search of his IMDB page reveals I haven&#8217;t seen any of his stuff), Future X-Cops tells the tale of supercop Kidd, who leads a special brand of policemen in the year 2080 known as X-Cops.  Apparently the big thing in the future is becoming a cyborg, replacing limbs with ones that look like animal parts (kind of like splicing in Batman Beyond).  During an attack by one of these groups of mutants, his wife is killed, and plans for a time travel device are stolen.  The baddies are going to go back in time and kill an important political figure when he&#8217;s still a teenager, and Kidd goes back in time to stop them.  Unfortunately, he ends up getting there two years before they do, and builds a life and friendships in the past that could alter the future. So, it&#8217;s kind of like The Terminator meets Mighty Morphin....]]></description>

Apparently, he gets all those wonderful toys at Sideshow Collectibles.  For only $500, you can get a life-size prop replica of the cowl worn in 1989&#8242;s Batman movie.  Of course, it&#8217;s made out of fiberglass, so don&#8217;t try to wear it unless you want your skin all&#8230;cracky.  You can also get your hand on a Bat-Grapple (that I&#8217;m pretty sure doesn&#8217;t actually work, but damn does it look cool) and small timey replicas of the Batwing and Batmobile from the film. Time to break out the credit card, because these are amonst the awesomest awesomes that ever awesomed!]]></description>

I just had a conversation about how much Brand has overstayed his welcome with me, and not just because he&#8217;s sleeping with future Mrs. Ex-Aponte, Katy Perry.  And, don&#8217;t get me wrong, I enjoyed his performance in Forgetting Sarah Marshall&#8230;until I realized he was just playing himself. And playing a role made iconic by the one and only Dudley Moore?  I don&#8217;t get upset when they give Spider-Man organic shooters.  I don&#8217;t get upset when they want to remake The Thing (alright, got a little upset about that one).  But recasting Dudley Moore&#8217;s iconic role with&#8230;Russell Brand?  No me gusta.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because this worked so well with the original Punisher, Captain America, and Fantastic Four movies?  And more recently with Man-Thing and Punisher: War Zone? From CHUD: Marvel Studios is currently taking meetings with writers and directors to work on small scale movies based on some of their third tier characters. The movies would cost in the range of 20 to 40 million dollars (very small when we&#8217;re talking studio films) and would allow them to take risks with less obvious characters and with interesting talent. Filmmakers are being offered their pick of characters whose names are only familiar to comic fans. Properties like Dr. Strange, Ka-Zar, Luke Cage, Dazzler and Power Pack are among the many that are being tossed around right now. And the attitude seems to be that Marvel is open to bringing any of their characters to the screen at the right price point. Not sure why Dr. Strange qualifies as low budget fare, nor should Ka-Zar.  Actually, you know who should be happy about this news?  Charles Band.  He tried to get the rights to do a Dr. Strange movie back in the early 90&#8242;s but, when Marvel said no, he ended up doing his own version with Jeffrey Combs, Dr. Mordrid, still one of my favorite B-movies.  I&#8217;d love to see a Dr. Strange movie, and there are definitely some other characters in the Marvel U that would lend themselves to a $20-40 million budget film pretty well.  What about you guys?  Who would you....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello there, boils and ghouls!  It&#8217;s time for another very exciting edition of PAUL&#8217;S HORROR FLIX!  Two very different horror films this week, as we delve into both the supernatural and the extraterrestrial with: The Fourth Kind The Reeds Are either one of these flicks worth your time?  Will they keep you up at night, looking past your bedroom door for ghosts and aliens?  Find out in my full reviews after the jump! The Fourth Kind I&#8217;m not entirely sure why I didn&#8217;t see The Fourth Kind in theaters.  It looked interesting enough, and has a decent cast, but I think maybe I was a little burned out on &#8220;pseudo-reality&#8221; flicks after Paranormal Activity (which I loved) was all over the place.  I&#8217;m not sure Kind was in the theaters very long, and what I did hear about it was relatively lukewarm, if not downright negative. Ultimately, my review isn&#8217;t going to dissent what I&#8217;ve already heard.  The Fourth Kind isn&#8217;t a horrible film, but it sure isn&#8217;t great.  The actors do serviceable jobs, but the main concept of the film, basically that Hollywood actors are reenacting real-life events, interspersed with some of the &#8220;real&#8221; footage, is interesting, if not entirely well done.  While I appreciate the subtlety of the quick glimpses given us of what is happening before all video footage, essentially, turns to static, it&#8217;s just a little too subtle.  I do appreciate subtlety, and I can appreciate a slow burn, but there should be a bit more....]]></description>

In YOUNG JUSTICE, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over – to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you’re not just a normal teenager? What if you’re a teenage super hero? How much harder will it be to prove yourself in a world of super powers, super villains and super secrets? Are you ready to come of age in such a world? Are you ready for life or death rites of passage? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy of the Justice League? The members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—are about to find out. This news is just made of awesome.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some kick ass movie news today &#8211; I compiled the best of the best below! Batman: Under the Red Hood trailer! Man, I’m really excited about this.  I really enjoyed the original tale in Batman, written by Judd Winnick with art by the ever-reliable Doug Mahnke, which featured the return of Jason Todd.  Even though the reason (Superboy punching reality) has been made fun of to this day, Winnick sure did a heck of a job making Todd a great villain, with clear motives – something I haven’t seen done as well by other writers.  DC is adapting that tale into what appears to a be a kick-ass animated movie, featuring the voice talent of Bruce Greenwood, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Isaacs and Jensen Ackles.  It’s due out this July. Bad Boys III! http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=65370 It’s just good news after good news today, let me tell ya.  I loved the original Bad Boys, but Bad Boys II was even better.  Sure, most people hated the fact that it was two and a half hours long, but not me – I loved the hell out of it!  Now Martin Lawrence is talking about a Bad Boys III.  While I doubt we’ll see it anytime soon (ol’ Michael Bay is working on Transformers 3 first), I think both Lawrence and Will Smith are never better than when they’re in these films.  I’ll be there opening day if they do another one. Batman says “Screw you” to 3D! http://www.cinematical.com/2010/04/20/wally-pfister-talks-about-shooting-batman-3-in-3-d/ Thank God!  Some stupid Hollywood....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually when a movie comes out that is based on a comic or book I enjoy I am able to keep a mental disconnect.  It isn’t always easy, but I have been known to enjoy movies that make a mockery of the original source material.  This one however left me wondering at first if my judgment was too harsh because I loved the source material so much. The first half of Kick Ass was incredible and followed the comic fairly closely.  There were differences that come from being a different sort of media.  These minor changes early on for pacing and media adaptation were actually very welcome though.  For example the trailers were going to give away the existence of HitGirl so there was no chance of having her first appearance being as impactful as the comic.  They had to find another way to shock the audience. So as the movie went on I found myself getting more and more excited.  It was funny, violent, and captured the feel of the comic perfectly.  Then everything changed.  There is one scene where the movie starts to vary drastically from the comic.  After this scene for me it seemed that characters quit making logical sense.  A movie and story that had strived for harsh realism and consequences suddenly changed to a vehicle for wish fulfillment.  Basically an incredible movie that was well on the way to being my favorite movie of the year turned to utter crap. So at this point I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Damn, this news pisses me off.  I spoke at length about how much I was LOVING Spectacular Spider-Man, the animated series run by Greg Weisman, who was also showrunner for Disney&#8217;s Gargoyles.  The quality was at least on par with The New Batman Adventures, had an ongoing mythology and had progression in its characters storylines.  It was the type of cartoon that adult geeks like us flock to, and it&#8217;s sad that apparently, now, we won&#8217;t see that season three I was waiting for. Announced today all over the web is that, coming next year, we&#8217;re going to get an Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, based on the Brian Michael Bendis series.  While it appears Bendis isn&#8217;t directly involved (other than the material being based on his comic), the preview art at right doesn&#8217;t show much other than some Mark Bagley art from volume one of the series. R.I.P. Spectacular Spider-Man.  You will be missed!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, apparently that&#8217;s the name of the upcoming third film in the Chronicles of Riddick saga.  Coming  Attractions has an early review of the script for the film, and it&#8217;s definitely paired down from the last film. Some spoiler points &#8211; don&#8217;t read if you don&#8217;t want to know anything: Riddick begins Dead Man Stalking as Lord Marshal. He doesn&#8217;t stay that way long. Vaako&#8217;s back. Not for long.  I&#8217;d be surprised if they got Karl Urban back, honestly. Riddick makes orders to go to Furya, but a Necro Commander puts them down on another planet and betrays Riddick. Riddick survives but is stranded on the planet. The original plan after Chronicles was to go to the Underverse, but that&#8217;s clearly no longer the case. I don&#8217;t think the Underverse is even mentioned. This draft is dated 10/18/09 and features probably the worst title ever &#8212; The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking. Thank God it&#8217;s just gonna be &#8216;Riddick.&#8217; Here&#8217;s the thrust of the plot: Riddick is stranded on a planet. He finds an empty merc base and sends up a beacon, identifying himself. Two merc teams land to go after him. The whole thing is Riddick vs. the mercs, with Riddick&#8217;s goal of stealing one of their ships to get off-world. And of course, monsters come into play. Check out a much more detailed script review at Coming Attractions!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember a lot about the cartoons I watched as a kid – Underdog, Inspector Gadget, TMNT, Heathcliff, The Disney Afternoon, etc. – I remember most everything with a decent amount of detail.  Now, I know I watched Astro Boy as a kid, but I can’t remember anything about the show for the life of me, other than the design of the titular character.  Which may explain why, whenever I mention that the new Astro Boy animated movie, which didn’t do stellar box office numbers, was based on an old animated series and manga series, people are actually surprised to hear that.  I thought the image of Astro Boy himself was pretty iconic, but apparently not enough for the general public to really know who the character is. I didn’t actually see Astro Boy in theaters – I had considered it, but I guess, even though I remember the character from when I was a wee Paul, it just wasn’t enough of a draw to see it theatrically.  It was released recently on DVD and Blu-Ray, and I finally got a chance to give it a watch. The sad thing is that the film is actually really good.  Not spectacularly awesome, mind you, but definitely better than most animated films out there, with a story that doesn’t insult its adult audience, and no pop-culture references that date the film.  The animation for the film was done by IMAGI, the guys who did the most recently TMNT animated film, which I....]]></description>

Anderson, the fourth film in the Resident Evil series, which features his return to the director&#8217;s seat after taking the last two off, has released a teaser trailer, and it looks all kinds of awesome.  The emphasis in the trailer, of course, is on the 3D technology they&#8217;re using, which is the same as James Cameron used for Avatar, except that they seem to be using it to create some &#8220;shit flying at the audience&#8221; moments that most 3D films seem to not bother with. Resident Evil: Afterlife is due out this September]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome back, boils and ghouls, to a very special edition of PAUL’S HORROR FLIX!  What&#8217;s so special with this week&#8217;s edition?  Well, how about the sequels to two of the greatest horror films OF ALL TIME?  Yes folks, this week we&#8217;re talking about the much anticipated sequels: Rec 2 The Descent: Part 2 How do you make sequels to some of the most intense horror films ever?  Do either of these films live up to the originals?  Or they ruin the memories of the films we&#8217;ve come to love?  Find out after the jump! Rec 2 REC 2 &#8211; English Subtitled Trailer Uploaded by dreadcentral. &#8211; Classic TV and last night&#8217;s shows, online. I love the original Rec.  It took two things that I&#8217;ve been sick of for a little while now, zombies and &#8220;found footage&#8221; movies, and combined them to make what ended up being an intense, excellent film that hasn&#8217;t seen compare since its release.  So when word came out that the original creators (and some of the original cast) were reuniting to create a sequel, I met it with nervous anticipation.  I mean, surely it would be great, right?  But how do you top the excellent original? One thing that always bugged me in trailers for the American remake of the original, Quarantine, is that they showed a scene not in the film itself &#8211; a SWAT-type team going into the apartment building and finding the video camera with the &#8220;found footage&#8221; that made up the movie. ....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now most other places are announcing this news with a &#8220;worst f*cking news ever&#8221; tagline.  But, looking at his IMDB page, I see only one film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson that I can say I didn&#8217;t enjoy (Soldier).  But I loved the hell out of Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Death Race, and especially Event Horizon. So why all the Paul Anderson hate?  I think he&#8217;d be a great director to tackle the adventures of Buck Rogers, a wartime pilot who gets sucked into the 25th Century and goes on all kinds of cool adventures. I love the idea of Buck Rogers, but I can honestly say I&#8217;ve never followed any iteration of the character (whether it be the old TV show, comics, or anything) with any regularity.  Any fans of Buck out there?  How do you take this news? In the meantime, take a gander at the new Buck Rogers online series being produced by Cawley Entertainment, which looks to stay in the spirit of the original series.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joining an esteemed group of select individuals that includes Matt Salinger and Reb Brown, Chris Evans has officially signed on to play the part of Captain America in Joe Johnston&#8217;s upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America.  Here&#8217;s what Variety has to say: Chris Evans will don the star-spangled superhero suit to play Captain America for Marvel Entertainment. Evans, who was made the offer late last week, beat out a number of thesps including John Krasinksi, Chace Crawford, Ryan Phillippe, Garrett Hedlund, Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Scott Porter and Wilson Blethel to land the role of Steve Rogers. Deal calls for Evans to star in at least three &#8220;Captain America&#8221; movies, as well as &#8220;The Avengers,&#8221; which will assemble Iron Man, Thor and the Incredible Hulk in one pic. First introduced in the 1940s, the character is a sickly young man who is turned into the perfect human weapon to aid the United States&#8217; war effort during World War II when injected with a super soldier serum. His costume resembles the American flag and he flings an indestructible shield as his primary weapon. Joe Johnston will direct &#8220;The First Avenger: Captain America&#8221; this summer. Hugo Weaving will play the villain, Red Skull. Film is slated to unspool July 22, 2011. Paramount will distribute. So Chris Evans vs. Hugo Weaving?  Sure, I&#8217;d be on board for that.  I&#8217;ve always been a big fans of Evans &#8211; in fact, after seeing him in Sunshine, I was convinced that, if they were to ever....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reposted in the spirit of the holiday &#8211; Happy St. Patrick&#8217;s Day! What I love most about the Leprechaun films is how unabashed they are about not making sense. The only thing that can hurt a leprechaun is a four leaf clover! No, it&#8217;s wrought iron! No, it&#8217;s an amulet that turns him to stone!  No, it&#8217;s burning his gold! The leprechaun can&#8217;t hurt you if you have his gold on you! Oh wait&#8230;he can cut you open if you swallow a piece. And how the hell does he keep losing coins when he&#8217;s so obsessive compulsive about his gold?  Dude&#8230;stop carrying your pot of gold around uncovered if you don&#8217;t want money falling out.  At least he wised up in the third one and put it in a safe.  Which, might I mention, doesn&#8217;t make sense since they used a safe in part two to trap him (wrought iron). Poor Leprechaun&#8230;you thought Jason had it bad? In the first film he melted, got shot, then burned to death. In the second, he gets stabbed with an iron bar in the heart and explodes into little lucky charm bits!  I don&#8217;t even remember how the hell he died in part 3 and I just finished watching it. How the hell does this make any kind of sense. These guys seem to have an idea.  More after the jump. Leprechaun 1: Unlucky Charms (subtitles added by me!) Oh-kay.  You know&#8230;I&#8217;m confused.  So&#8230;I thought the beginning of the film took place in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So a very special edition of Paul&#8217;s Horror Flix today!  Since I&#8217;m out of town (more on that on this week&#8217;s Funnybooks) this week, I&#8217;ve been unable to enjoy my typical horror movie goodness.  I know &#8211; ghastly!  But, alas, hotel wi-fi has afforded me the opportunity enough to cruise the net, spying on the newest horror trailers for all the monster-filled goodness coming our way! Tons of great trailers after the jump (with my thoughts), including a sneak peak at the new, very awesome-looking, Predators from Robert Rodriguez! I love Robert Rodriguez, so I&#8217;m really excited about this film.  I know he&#8217;s just producing it (directing duties fall on Nimrod Antal from Vacancy), but it seems like the film will have his hands all over it.  The full trailer is due out tomorrow (at the official site &#8211; guessing the trailer will be attached to Repo Men), but check out a sneak preview below: The new Nightmare on Elm Street looks visually interesting &#8211; the trick is making a character as iconic, but at the same time kind of passe, as Freddy Kruger, and make him appealing to a modern day audience.  I&#8217;m sure some changes have been made to the script I read (and talked about way back in April of last year) including, at least as far as I can tell, an expansion on the role of Twilight&#8217;s Kellan Lutz.  Will it be a boom or a bust? I recently saw Rec 2, and will be back....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome back, boils and ghouls, to a very special edition of PAUL&#8217;S HORROR FLIX!  This week, you won&#8217;t have to venture to your local video store, or Amazon (or try to import something) to find the movies we&#8217;ll be chatting about &#8211; you just need to go to your local cinema!  That&#8217;s right, we&#8217;re discussing theatrical horror this week, with two very different, but still very horrific, movies! The Wolfman The Crazies Check out the reviews after the jump, and start saving up money for the matinee! The Wolfman Man, I&#8217;ve been dying to see this film.  Back in October, I visited Universal Studios Orlando&#8217;s The Wolfman haunted house, as part of their Halloween Horror Nights event.  It was one of my favorite houses of the event, and had be super psyched for this film, which has been the victim of many well-publicized delays and troubles.  The director hat changed multiple times, as did the score writer for the film (Danny Elfman, then not, then back to Danny Elfman), as well as delays for effects work and heavy editing to get to the first wolf transformation as soon as possible. I&#8217;d be lying if I said that all of these problems had no effect on the film &#8211; the film has HUGE flaws.  The pacing is definitely off &#8211; it races through certain scenes, and dead stops in others.  The acting is uneven.  Certain moments just reek of being cut down to fit a running time.  However, despite all of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know&#8230;I really wish I had something snarky to say about this.  I almost always do.  But the only thing I really don&#8217;t like about these Iron Man 2 trailers is their use of the Black Sabbath son.  I really kind of hate that song. Lots of awesome fanboy moments &#8211; I wish they&#8217;d focus on Black Widow a little more (cuz she&#8217;s hot), but really, the appearance of the briefcase armor, the War Machine appearance&#8230;it&#8217;s all pretty kick ass.  The appearance of a ton of Iron Man-type bots has me hopeful that they&#8217;re building up to us seeing some Hulkbuster armor in the eventual Avengers movie. Iron Man is due out in theaters (and IMAX) on May 7.  But not in 3D.  Thank god.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello there boils and ghouls!  It&#8217;s time for another wild and wacky version of PAUL&#8217;S MOTHER FRAKIN HORROR FLICKS!  Hell to the yes!  The excitement is boiling over isn&#8217;t it?  You&#8217;re just sitting there, laptop on the sink as you wait for the body in your bathtub to be eaten away by the battery acid, just DYING to know what movies we&#8217;re going to talk about this week.  Well, horror hounds, wonder no more, for today you get THREE horror reviews, of classic (coughmostlyshittycough) 80&#8242;s horror madness! Madman The Funhouse Happy Birthday to Me! What are you waiting for?  A demonic incantation?  Continue reading after the jump! Madman So, really, Madman is entirely nothing special.  In fact, the good portion of it is laughably bad.  But, unlike a later laughably bad film that just ends up being awful, this one ends up having a certain charm to it.  From 1982, Madman tells the story of &#8220;Madman Marz,&#8221; a backwoods humungo redneck killer who has a thing for chopping up 30-something people who play teenagers. This movie ends up getting its charm from some wicked bad, definitely 80&#8242;s choices.  There&#8217;s a hot tub scene that involves a man and a woman wandering in circles aimlessly, looking at each other longingly, while 80&#8242;s love songs play in the background.  There&#8217;s a guy who has his initials on his giant ass belt buckle.  There&#8217;s a guy who gets lost at the beginning of the movie in the woods (after seeing the Madman in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re in one of the lucky cities that Grindhouse Releasing has named for their EVIL DEAD theatrical tour!  There are special midnight screenings happening right now across the country, on a 35mm print, so you&#8217;re getting probably the ultimate theatrical representation of this cinematic classic. I know I bag on Sam Raimi a lot (deservedly so), but I love all three of the EVIL DEAD flicks, and I&#8217;d love to check out one of these dates if I can swing it.  In fact, if you happen to live near Austin, they&#8217;re going to be showing a triple feature of all three EVIL DEAD flicks! Check out all the info and tour dates here!]]></description>

Chace Crawford (GOSSIP GIRL) John Krasinski (THE OFFICE) Scott Porter (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) Mike Vogel (CLOVERFIELD) Michael Cassidy (Lots o&#8217; TV) Patrick Flueger (BROTHERS and THE 4400) Garrett Hedlund (TRON LEGACY) First of all, I have to say&#8230;.John Krasinski?  F*ckin&#8217; really?  Who the hell thought that was a good idea?  And what happened to Captain Awesome (Ryan McPartlin), from Chuck?  As for the remaining choices, I&#8217;m not entirely familiar with any of them either.  Scott Porter seems like a decent choice, as does Chace Crawford (though I don&#8217;t see him as pulling off the muscle-bound Cap). What say you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Carpenter&#8217;s The Thing has built a cult following since its release in 1982.  The film is a horror classic, hitting all the right notes with its manipulation of paranoia, isolation, and the sense of the unknown.  It&#8217;s natural that a studio would want to come along and steal some of that glory once again.  Rather than remaking The Thing once again, the studio has opted for a prequel that hits many of the same notes as the first film&#8230;but delves further into the mythos of the creature.  Is the early script draft by Eric Heisserer a resounding love letter to John Carpenter or just another insult to a horror classic (I&#8217;m looking at you Rob Zombie)?  Find out inside. Warning: SPOILER HEAVY! It&#8217;s safe to say that the script is good, really good.  In the original 1982 film, helicopter pilot MacReady discovers the remnants of a Norwegian base that had previously housed the alien being.  This base is the center stage for the prequel. Ennio Morricone&#8217;s score opens up the movie as we see the still white Anarctic landscape.  A group of men form a semi-circle around something deep in the snow that they have discovered. Cut to Kate Lloyd as she and a team of experts are being transported from McMurdo airport to the remote Norwegian research station (known as Thule Station).  The head of this team, Dr. Sander Halvorson, has been invited by his friend Edvard Wolner to research what they found near Thule Station. Some fan....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another week, another all-new, all-awesome edition of PAUL&#8217;S HORROR FLIX!  As promised, I&#8217;m back with a double dose of horror this week, and I decided to step up my game a little bit &#8211; sure, last week&#8217;s Demonic Toys 2 and Road to L had a small droplet of the red stuff, but this week&#8217;s contenders poured on ample amounts of what we like to see in our horror flicks &#8211; chunky, gooey, dripping blood and guts! The two contenders this week are Cabin Fever: The Director&#8217;s Cut, out now on blu-ray, and Doghouse (currently only available on import DVD).  How do they measure up?  Find out after the jump! Cabin Fever: The Director&#8217;s Cut I love the hell out of Eli Roth &#8211; he&#8217;s only directed three full-length films, but I&#8217;ve loved each one for very different reasons.  Cabin Fever, the film that introduced him to the world at large, is a fun low budget romp that was better than it had any right being.  Hostel I and II divided audiences, and unfortunately really contributed to the &#8220;torture porn&#8221; craze, but managed to elevate themselves above the rest with smart direction, good acting, and beautiful cinematography that most other films exchange for flashes of white light and quick cuts. Anyway, like I said, Cabin Fever is the start of Roth&#8217;s career and I remember seeing it in the theater, wholly unprepared for the film I was about to see.  It starts off as this fun, riotous comedy before quickly....]]></description>
