Trailer: New Max Payne Trailer Making People Rethink Game Crossovers
To those who weren’t already aware that a movie was coming out based of the Max Payne video game franchise, there’s a movie coming out based off the Max Payne franchise. Now you can’t say I haven’t ever told you anything. But, seriously, Max Payne is a legitimate, non-Uwe Boll, video game adaption starring Mark [...]
Holy Shit! Hot Toys Making Bank Robber Joker Figure
If you’re reading this so far, you’re probably excited like me. I mean, I’m not much for collecting figures from movies or even gathering that much memorabilia. It’s just that the Dark Knight seems so epic and Joker so good that I get pumped up all over again when I hear anything about it. Maybe [...]
Pic: Will Ferrell in The Land of the Lost
You may remember a little bit ago when we were showing a pic of the Sleestaks from the upcoming film The Land of the Lost. Well, now we’re back focusing another Sleestak (Enik) who happens to be the one that guards the time portal (if you remember back to the original series). Standing next to [...]
‘Watchmen’ Toys
So today I was going through my blogroll and found that my local toystore has some of the figures for Watchmen up for pre-sale. So since we haven’t reported on them before I thought I’d give you guys a little bit of info.
First off, we will be able to collect all the main characters as [...]
OMG The Boys is Being Adapted by Sony
So remember a little while ago when I was talking about Simon Pegg no longer being cast in ‘Inglorious Bastards’ and then I went on into a little rant about his likeness being used in a comic book titled ‘The Boys’? Well it looks like Sony just picked it up and will be using Matt [...]

New ‘Fast and Furious’ Tralier Makes Up for Missing “The”
I never saw myself actually entertaining the idea of eagerly awaiting the new film from the Fast and the Furious franchise (ever so cleverly titled ‘Fast and Furious’). Then again, I never thought I’d enjoy Tokyo Drift either, and the Justin Lin had made me into a believer. Now, the director is back with his [...]

From Small Screen To Big Screen: Death Of The Saturday Morning Cartoon?
Remember the days when the school week drew to an end, not only was there excitement of the oncoming weekend and the hours of free play, but it was the significance of the next morning, Saturday morning cartoons. Every kid would spend their next morning affixed firmly to their comfort spot and sat there starry-eyed [...]

If you’re still not letting go of The Dark Knight craze, then you’ll really love this post. These posters come via two sources. Digital artist Tom Arthur Opasinski has a ton of unused Dark Knight posters up on his website. They’re all mixed in with all his other promotional work [...]
‘Tropic Thunder’ or “Booty Juice seems like it would be a very hard product to market.” (Review)
Not often do you get the pleasure of walking out of the cinema with your chest physically aching and riding an endorphin high from laughing so hard. This is the best feeling to experience when leaving a comedy. The only movie this year to give me that pleasure was the Ben Stiller directed farce, ‘Tropic [...]
Now, “This…is…Sparta!”
Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of ‘300: Limited Collector’s Edition’ on 18th November 2008. This rousing, blood-soaked blockbuster, based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and directed by Zack Snyder, returns to DVD as a new Limited Edition set that is “available only while supplies last”.
What to Make of All These Remakes?
Has Hollywood run dry when it comes to the horror film genre? As of late, the recent trend by studios have been to quickly churn out subpar remakes of our beloved horror classics, but are they worth our time and movie dollars? I say, “no”, though there may be minor changes, expanded storylines, bigger budgets [...]
Paramount Payback
In an encouraging move, Paramount is hoping to entice hi-def shoppers to their new slate of Blu-ray titles by offering a sawbuck in return. After pledging support to HD-DVD in the format wars, I see this as a promising move by Paramount.
Beginning with the release of the ‘Transformers‘ Blu-ray on September 2nd, the company [...]
