More rumors.
Riverworld:
Syfy is making a new attempt at Riverworld, this time in mini-series format. Generally the Syfy mini-series are good so, I'm hoping this will be too. Riverworld is about a couple who die in a suicide bombing and wake up in a strange world, the Riverworld. From the trailer it looks like they get separated and have to find out what's going on.
Riverworld airs April 16 on Syfy.
Doctor who:
Doctor who is getting close. Series starts April 17th in U.K.(Correction: Starts in the US on BBC America), but that won't stop people from putting it online after then... I hope. I'm really excited. I don't have any specific clips to add, I just needed that fan-girl moment. Check out io9.com for more news.
Scott Pilgrim vs the world Frame by Frame:
So I saw this interesting video comparing the books to the movie. It's very interesting. Now I really want to read the books.
That's it for now.

How to Train the world... no wait...
Coming Soon: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
I saw this add the other day and yahoo! movies just reminded me of it. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, based of the comic of the same name, is about a guy who falls in love with a girl. He has to defeat her seven evil-ex-boyfriends in order to go out with her. The trailer looks really cute:
Were you as surprised as I to see Chris Evans and Brandon Routh?
Review: How to Train Your Dragon *no spoilers*
The film was great. I had high expectations and it didn't let me down, thank you Dreamworks. Hiccup a "runt" Viking wants to prove himself and kill a dragon. Unable to actually wield an ax or sword, he builds a contraption to hit a dragon, and he succeeds. Well sort of. Anyway when he finally finds the dragon he shot down, he finds himself unable to kill it, instead he sets it free. He learns to get close the the dragon and soon develops a relationship him. I'll not go into any more details because you should really see it. But know this: the movie had a great story, was visually stunning, and the there were plenty of good jokes.
Coming Soon: Shrek 4
So when I went to see How to Train your Dragon, I saw the trailer for Shrek 4. I might actually go see it. The third movie was a disappointment, but Dreamworks promised this next installment would be the last Shrek. That makes me hopeful that it will actually be good. Here is the teaser trailer (not the one I saw, but whatever):
Coming soon, May 21, 2010
Comment Response:
Thanks K for commenting on my last post. These two movies are definitely interesting and worth noting.
Killers:
The film is about a woman who meets a man in a hotel in Nice. They fall in love, but he forgot to mention, he's an assassin.
Coming to theaters June 4, 2010.
The Joneses:
Very interesting concept. It's about the perfect family, or is it? They are a unit of people who "stealth market." They convince people to buy things using their status of being "the Joneses". Watch:
Comes out April 16th, 2010!

More Rumors...:-)
Captain America:
Chris Evans (Human Torch in Fantastic Four) is rumored to have been offered the role for Captain America. It is unconfirmed by Marvel or Evans' reps. Personally, I kinda want him to be. Another good reason to see the movie *drool* Okay, sorry for the fan-girl moment, but there you go.
Dr. Horrible 2:
Doctor Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog is getting a sequel, but this time it won't be online for free. It's going to be a feature film. Hmmm... This could either be a really cool thing. More money, longer picture, but on the other hand. I thought that if the first movie where any longer it would loose people. So hopefully the script for the sequel can support the extra time it will have. Either way I'm going to see it. :-)
A Wrinkle in Time:
A Wrinkle in Time is going to be made into a feature film. About time considering the last attempt was a sappy Disney Channel version that no one saw. I don't even know if it's on DVD, it was that long ago. So this time the screen adaptation will be written by Jeff Stockwell (Bridge to Terabithia).
I think that's it for now. I haven't seen any new movies in theaters. I really want to see Repo Men, but I don't know if that's going to happen this week. Se la vi.

Rumors Galore
I'm on vacation this week and this is the first time I've gotten internet access for my computer in a while. Anyway, there is a lot of rumors and news to write on, here it goes.
Captain America:
Ryan Phillip is the current choice. I can see that I guess. I unfortunately don't really know Captain America much, but I think he'd do well (feel free to disagree). Another possible actor is Channing Tatum. Oh, and it looks like Hugo Weaving will play Captain America's nemesis, Red Skull.
The Shadow:
Sony let the rights for The Shadow go, but Sam Raimi (Spiderman) is taking this project else where. Rumor has it that Fox is picking it up and Twilight Eclipse director, David Slade will direct.
Planet of the Apes:
Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake may get a sequel. Director Brit Rupert Wyatt will direct, he's last known for The Escapist. No release date has been announced
The Cape:
NBC's new Superhero drama, The Cape, knows how to entice the "nerds". Summer Galu (Terminator: the Sarah Conner Chronicles, Firefly) will play a crusading blogger. Have no fear, though, she will have a physical roll, being an updated Lois Lane.
Eureka:
Battle Star Galactica's James Callis is said to join the cast for this new season, which airs in July.
Red:
Felicia Day (Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog) is staring in Syfy's Red a new adaptation of Little Red Ridding Hood. Has potential with Felicia Day, but it this is another crappy B-Movie, I'm not going to be happy.
Avatar:
Looks like Avatar will be re-released this fall, most likely with 20 minutes of unseen footage.

Coming Soon: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
I saw the new trailer for this movie when I went to see Alice in wonderland. It complete slipped my mind till now.
The movie has potential. It's got Jerry Bruckhiemer. And Nicholas Cage (if you think he's a good actor). Anyway the film is based off of The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia. The new trailer shows a brief clip from this scene. Dave is cleaning his teachers lair and uses magic to clean up (2:13 in clip below). Take a peak:
Interesting, huh? Movie comes out June 16, 2010.
Avoid The Wolfman
I got dragged into seeing The Wolfman last night. I really don't recommend it, not because it's gory and grotesque (you have to expect that in a film like this), but because it was predictable and in general not well done.
The openning was bad, not the legend part. The part were a female voice briefly explains: a man pure in hear will turn into a wolf on a full moon. Albeit, that really doesn't make much sense because the origional wolfman was NOT pure of heart, but the film was trying to give a nodd to the classic horror movies. The part that was abrupt was Gwen's letter to Lawrence. It seemed out of place, out of order somehow. Story wise it was important because it introduced the hero, but it wasn't done well. I felt it was rushed so that the movie could move on to the wolf parts. If I'm going to see a movie with a lot of gore, there had better be a good story to back it.
The movie was completely predictable. I guessed who the other wolfman was right away and the ending was unnecessary. I still fail to understand how only true love can save him if that meant only true love can kill him. Whatever. I think a lot of my resentment of this film was getting dragged to a movie I didn't really want to see in the first place, oh and there were no pretty guys to look at. -wow that sounded shallow, but whatever.
All in all, don't go see The Wolfman if you want a decent story. All it's good for is being a slasher flick.
Opening this Weekend:
I was origionally going to give a brief synopsis and trailer for each wide released movie comming out, but there are many sites devoted to that that will give you numerous trailers, clips, pictures and an unbiased synopsis. So, instead I will just review movies I think might be good.
The Green Zone: Origionally I had no interest I. Seeing this movie. I thought it was just another war movie taking place in the middle east with Matt Damon playing a Jason Bourne character, but the trailer I saw last night revealed the plot. Matt Damon plays Roy Miller (or David Webb?) who works by himself in the middleast trying to trackdown missing weapons and money. He comes across a big cover up and attempts to reveal it. Here is the exact trailer:
So all in all, this looks like a movie my dad and I would enjoy.

Tron Legacy and News of Warehouse 13 and Eureka
Recap: Castle
Castel is back! Woo! The show as been on hiatus for over a month, but it’s back! Only minor spoilers, you have to see the awesomeness for yourself. Check Hulu or Fancast for last nights episode: The Mistress Always Spanks Twice.
A graduate student was found dead in her underwear, tied up to monkey bars in a playground, and covered in caramel sauce. Strangely enough, there was no sign of sexual abuse or of her even having sex. It was staged. Further investigation led Castle and Beckett to a BDSM ‘dungeon’ and the girl wasn’t just observing a mistress for her thesis, she was the mistress.
“Remember my safe word is ‘apples’”
Oh and we finally meet Ryan’s girlfriend. She is a hottie!
Bad news now, the next episode is not until 2 weeks why didn’t they start up the series then? Anyway it looks like a serial killer is on the loose and his next target is Beckett.
First Look:
The classic movie Tron has spawned a new film, Tron Legacy. This new movie isn’t a remake, it’s a sequel, one I’m sure will be self-explained considering the gap in between. Anyway, a full trailer has been released and it looks amazing!!! Take a look:
Oh and you can download the trailer for yourself thanks to Flynn Lives and thanks to io9.com for posting the link. Tron Legacy comes out December 17, 2010.
Coming Summer to a TV Near You:
Both Warehouse 13 and Eureka got picked up for new seasons. Woo!! Since Syfy has comically changed its name, it seems many shows have been left forgotten. Eureka was missing the conclusion to season 3, hence the mini-season 3.141592... They also have forgotten their off-season format of half a season in the summer and half a season in the winter. Instead, I believe they will air the entire season of Warehouse 13 and Eureka this summer. That's just a guess, however, not confirmed.
So Warehouse 13 will return with season 2 on July 13th… Very funny Syfy. Admittedly though it will be easy to remember. And Eureka is currently shooting its fourth season and will return July 10th. Guess what I’ll be doing that week. Cheers.
Rant: Why I Won’t See Toy Story 3
I have seen every Pixar movie to date, and while I didn’t love them all, they are all really good films. I’ve seen many of the films opening weekend and I am excited for whatever future Pixar movies come our way. But I’m not going to see Toy Story 3
I liked both prequels, liking Toy Story 2 better than the original Toy Story. I liked the second better because I felt like Woody was a jerk in the first movie, not wanting to recognize that Andy has a new favorite…co-favorite. He learns to be friends with Buzz by the end, but the whole first movie, Woody’s actions are defined by Jealousy and then Remorse.
I will admit that I sometimes pretend my old childhood toys come to life while I’m away, but that doesn’t mean I’ll see the third installment. To me, the story has ended at Toy Story 2. I have moved on since then and have no interest in seeing more. I will however be more than glad to see The Incredibles 2, however… as soon as they make it.

Iron Man in Wonderland the Way it Should Have Ended... Wait...
Comming Soon: Iron Man 2
So, not going to lie, I'm totally Stoked to see this movie. A new trailer was released the other day revealing Tony Stark's new 'travel' armor, a lighter collapsible iron man suit. Plus glimpses at all the new bad-guys and even SHIELD.
Review: Alice in Wonderland
I went to see Alice in Wonderland last Saturday. The theater was packed, but that's not really a surpise is it? This is a Tim Burton film after all, with a huge cast. Apparently Alice did better than Avatar on opening weekend. That's big.
The film was good. It takes place 12 or so years after Alice already first went to Wonderland. She falls down the Rabbit hole yet again, but she conveniently forgets her first trip. She spends way too much time completely sure she's in a dream, despite failing the age-old pain/pinching test. Then again, if you visited a strange world when you were 8 and no one believed you, you'd think it was all a dream too.
So Alice, convinced she's the wrong "Alice", must help the white queen and slay the jaberwalkie. I'm not going to tell you how, I don't want to spoil it. But with the help of the mad hatter (who has a split personality hence the accent change), a talking bloodhound and many other talking animals she wins, yes!! Go Alice!
The movie was visually sunning and appropriately 'Tim Burton' dark. Many places in the film look like they were from the 1950's cartoon, but left appandoned to decay. And for some reason, the film really liked eye injuries. A lot of bad guys got poked in the eye and not in a comical way. Can't really explain it.
So the point to all this: go see the movie. I saw it in 2D and it was great. I don't know how it will look in 3D, but I would imagine stunning (I can't justify paying the extra 3.50 to see it in 3D, but that's me).
Just for Lol: Twilight
Yes, I saw this movie. And it's sequel New Moon. Don't judge me! I swear I went with my friends to make fun of it, completely pissing off some die-hard twihards. It was so worth it. Anyway, the reason I'm posting something on a movie that has been out for a while, I came across this awesome video: The Way Twilight Should Have Ended. It is brilliant.
Real quick (for those who don't know or care much) Evil-creepy-blond-bad-guy, James, manages to lure Bella, alone, to a closed ballet studio (why? who knows). There Bella gets the crap beaten out of her and bitten (in this vampire universe it just takes a bite). Enter Edward and family who fend off and kill Evil-creepy-blond-bad-guy. Then Edward is left with a decision, suck the venom out or let Bella become a vampire. Watch:

First Entry
There are a lot of blogs on the interwebs, each with there own personalities. So simply put, this particular blog will be a compilation of a lot of sites on movies, tv shows and games.
To start off, I'd like to write about an old show that unfortunately didn't make it very far: Freakazoid! This show was genius. It was a show that made fun of many things including itself. Freakazoid! was about a computer nerd, Dexter Douglas, who was sucked into his computer and had the internet downloaded into his head. As a result he turned into a kooky freak with superhuman powers, "he would become a Freakazoid!".
Unfortunately, it didn't appeal to its target audience (kids on Saturday morning) so it got moved around a lot. Even the creators couldn't find the show, talk about dumb. A few years after the show was canceled Cartoon Network (back when it was good) aired the show.
Here is part of the first episode:
I don't know how long this video will stay up, but currently the whole series, all 24 episodes, are on Youtube if you want to watch it. I highly recommend it.
