This article is going to be split into two parts. What I liked (part 1) and what I didn’t like (part 2). There will be excessive spoilers, especially in part 2, where I really get into why the film didn’t work for me, what I didn’t like about the decisions made, and why I think …
When General Zod (Michael Shannon) comes to Earth looking for Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill), it is up to Superman to stop him before he destroys the planet. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen), Man of Steel is the strangest movie I have ever seen. While it is a fairly straightforward super hero/comic book film, what was strange …
Here we have the first trailer for Peter Jackson’s prequel sequel, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. And it is everything I hoped for and more. It is a pretty damned amazing trailer. Now, I loved The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I know there are a lot of detractors for that film, but I cannot understand the …
So going into this trailer, I thought it was just a Nokia product placement video. In other words “If you feel like Superman, you must buy Nokia!” That is not at all what this is. This is a full trailer with a lot of new footage. It is very sparse on the dialogue and very …
Here we have the first teaser trailer for Metallica Through the Never. And boy does it look like a doozy of a movie.

As if we weren’t excited enough for this game simply because of how great the first two were, this trailer ramps up the excitement by a factor of ten. This is an utterly amazing trailer that shows no actual gameplay footage. . . As a 5 minute CGI Batman film, it is great. To think …
Here we have the first full trailer for the upcoming Riddick, once again starring Vin Diesel as the notorious anti-hero. I have to say, it looks amazing. I am a hug fan of Pitch Black and liked The Chronicles of Riddick quite a bit. I really like the character of Riddick. This appears to be closer in tone …

I am a dedicated Xbox fan. My Gamerscore sits around 50,000. I love my Xbox 360. After the announcement of Xbox One, though, and many of the policies they had put in place, I was going to ditch my Gamerscore and head over to the PlayStation 4 camp. The policies of which I speak concern … Continue reading »
I am a HUGE fan of Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City. In fact, I believe that is is in the top ten comic films of all time. So, it is with a heavy heart that I have to report that the film has been delayed from it’s original date of October 4, 2013 to August 22, 2014. … Continue reading »
Here we have the first full trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. I wasn’t a super-huge fan of the first film, like a lot of people, but this does look pretty funny. This time out, it looks like the old team is moving into the ’80′s and dealing with the challenges of a 24 hour … Continue reading »
