The Crazies is a remake of the 1973 George A. Romero movie of the same name. A story about a Biological weapon released upon a small town that results in brutal insanity. A small town man, his wife and a few friends do their best to survive as the inhabitants of the town rapidly become inhuman monsters. The military complicates things and begin shooting people on site to contain the virus until the town can be firebombed out of existence. Sort of like, The Happening meets Outbreak meets 28 days later.
Just a note for all those youngsters out there who thought Danny Boyle re-imagined zombies with the 28 days later formula, your wrong. Continue Reading….
So the Super Bowl Commercials weren’t as classic and hilarious as in years past however in my opinion one commercial ran away with the prize of best commercial. The Fidelin’ Beaver from Monster.com had the best re-watch value since the Aflack “AND GROCERIES” baby pig. I’ve posted it here for you in case you missed it. If you thought another was better comment and let me know.
Here it is nerds! For all of you, who like myself have been salivating at the annouoncement of Fallout New Vegas, is the teaser trailer. This follow up to last years game of the year Fallout 3 takes us to New Vegas, a place that was almost untouched by the nuclear apocalypse. So now it should be interesting to see the last remenants of the fifties era civilization hinted at throughout the previous 3 games. Enjoy! OH if youd like to see this in HD go to the Bethesda site here.
Since the hallowed day that I discovered that I was a metal head, I have always been a fan of White/Rob Zombie. Everything about him just made me want to hang out with the dude; from his love of all things horror, to his skills as a graphic artist, and his versatility in music. More recently I have enjoyed watching his gradual move to film-making though critically he’s had his ups and downs (personally I thought Halloween 2 was pretty good even though most thought it was crap).

Prince of Darkness is one of John Carpenters movies that gets looked over quite often. In fact most people haven’t heard of this one and I personally think that is a crime. Carpenter is my favorite Horror/Sci Fi director from the 70’s/80’s and I feel one of the most original. Today’s horror just doesn’t have the panache of a good carpenter film, and I’ve always liked that a good portion of his movies revolve around older adults and not idiotic teenagers. Prince of Darkness is no exception.
The Plot goes something like this; A priest (Donald Pleasence) invites Professor Howard Birack (Victor Wong) and a group of academics to investigate a mysterious cylinder in the basement of an abandoned church. The Cylinder seems to be a green pre-biotic fluid that is rapidly spinning into existence. Continue Reading….
All right…I am not and have never been a fan of Anime, so Avatar: the Last Airbender (though I have heard good things) has pretty much been on the edge of my radar for years. After M. Night Shayimalamanamithaninan’s …(whatever)… last movie The Happening was a flop, he decided it was time for him to commit the writer/director walk of shame and direct some one else’s script.
The Movie that picked him up was The Last Airbender, name slightly changed due to Avatar already being in theaters. Now I dont know much about the plot other than it involves an epic battle between Benders (not the awesome robot) who control different elements from nature. Avatar being the last of the air benders…hence the name. From what I can see, this movie is either going to be epically Lame or a great martial arts movie. Judging on other american made martial arts movies and Shmiliyonganon’s track record im gonna bet lame…but i guess one can hope. Click on over to see the trailer Continue Reading….
Everybody who knows me, knows that I hate the mainstream media (the evening news to be more specific) . They all have the same fake voiced delivery and fake outrage at even the most minuscule invasion of liberal ideals; take away their teleprompter and their useless (hmm sounds like someone else we know). On top of this facade there is the ever present formula of evening news production. Leave it to the Brits to create comic genius by simply stating the facts. Have a look.
Today was a rather light day, could quite possibly be considered a bi-week as far as new comics go in my opinion. Sadly there are no DC, Image or Dark Horse selections I felt worthy of buyin today so you only get some Marvel Drivel. Blackest Night Wonder Woman #3 came out today, but im just not that interested in that Amazon, even now that shes a star sapphire in the lantern Universe (Can you hear the Nerd just oozing out of my fingertips…I sure can).Not much to show you but here’s what I picked up today:
Ultimate X #1: Wolverine is dead. Captain America is a fugitive. The Fantastic Four disbanded. Lives have been destroyed and nothing can ever be the same is there any hope left? It all begins with a search for a brand new character whose identity will leave jaws on the floor and change the Ultimate Universe forever. Continue Reading….
KICK-ASS is probably the best adult themed comic being published today, and its only on its eighth issue. I Dare you to find another comic that was picked up for a movie and made before the tenth issue is even published. KICK ASS is about a group of foul mouth nerds who become heroes in their own right but most certainly don’t fit the traditional mold. One is a high school nerd, one is a twelve year old girl and one is a bored dad. None of the three have any super powers, just lots of weapons and an ability to take a lot of lumps. OH DID I mention McLovin is in it? It’s a hard comic to describe properly so it sounds as hilariously cool as it is, so just watch the preview and make you’re own judgment. Continue reading for the red band preview Beware of bad language! Continue Reading….
