HAVE A VERY ZOMBIE FILLED HALLOWEEN

SO AMC have announced that THE WALKING DEAD will start it's 6 episode run on Halloween (Us Brits will just have to wait for FX to air it, or catch a streamed episode thanks to some nice American!!) I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

Here's a embed for the trailer so you can make up your own mind and see what you think.



I wasn't sure what to make of it in colour to start with.........bearing in mind some of the scenes are pretty spot on for the comic, it was just weird in colour. I am however looking forward to seeing this....albeit in a very short first season.

Season 2 is supposed to be greenlit already, and for an extended run too!!! I don't think we'll see it as soon as Feb 2011 (as posted on some other sites!!) Ratings and filming breaks and other factors will most certainly delay it.

I guess you can't rush perfection....I'd rather wait for a few months for some quality TV rather than seeing some rushed, half assed rubbish.

I cant' wait to see how Rick gets outta the zombie covered tank!!!!!

Sorry For The Lack Of Posts... There's A Good Reason!

Hey guys... Sincere apologies for the lack of posts from me over the last month or two. You may or may not be aware that I'm opening up a big comic and collectable store in my home town in October ("Red Sun Comics & Collectables") and every minute of every day is being spent on making this place so kick-ass it'll make every geek cry with joy as they step foot through the door!

I have soooooo many posts waiting to go up it's unreal and it's actually slowed my home computer down to a deathly crawl, with the screen occasionally telling me off with messages that my memory is low due to all the open web pages! I really need a free day or two to get down to some serious blogging!

Once the store is sorted not only will I post up info and pics galore but the blog will hopefully become a big part of the shop community with our staff posting and our customers reading, and I'll be posting myself almost every day when we're not so busy. Much more than I currently do.

So for now I say thanks for your patience and I'll be back very soon!

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

I certainly didn't see anything about this movie on any movie sites, but i sure wish I had.......it looks awesome.

VANISHING ON 7TH STREET looks set to be a sh*t scary horror-fest crossed with some survival horror. The basic plot is as follows:

upon waking to find the city they live in devoid of human life, a group of survivors seek refuge in an old bar to protect themselves from a dark threat.

With a decent cast - Thandie Newton (hot!!!) Hayden Christensen (Sith) and John Leguizamo (Luigi) - this should be a cool, scary and apocalyptic movie.

Check out the trailer and see why you should fear the dark.

THE LOSERS Vs THE A TEAM

Have the you seen these movies yet? No? Shame on you............go see them now ( or do the naughty and check them out online!!!! Not that I'm saying that's ok or anything!!)

I've heard a lot of negative reviews for both these movies, but I love both of them in their own special ways..........although I have a clear favourite, which I will explain as I rant my way through a review.

where oh where do I start the review..........Ok, I'll start with familiar ground with the A TEAM's first big screen adaption. I loved this for the nostalgia value and down to the fact that it was pure Saturday morning fun that I grew up with. All the regulars are there (minus Col Decker....must be hanging back for the sequel!) and there are more than enough nods to give it the feel of the original series, while bringing it up to date with new tech and a new war for the A TEAM to fight.


Now is it all a bed of roses, and a masterpiece from start to finish? No, it has it's faults but they're nothing that stop it from being a decent action movie. So what is wrong with it? It suffers from trying too hard to be the original series, and it doesn't translate to the screen very well............I hate to say it, but Rampage Jackson (BA) just doesn't cut the mustard for me. It shows that he isn't an actor with a lot of skill and sometimes his performance is flat and forced......that said, he does shine every now and again and steals a few scenes from the other lead actors.



The humour in the movie sometimes undoes the action scenes and makes what could be a thumping action sequence into a farce. Liam Neeson is a very good Hannibal, Bradley Cooper does Face very well (although again, some of his hysterical laughing during scenes shredded the cool performance that he gives throughout most of the movie).............I must say that the standout performance is Sharlto Copley; his Murdoch is awesome and has as much energy and madness as the original. The other issue that everyone seemed to raise about the casting was Jessica Biel.....now I didn't find her acting that bad, and she certainly added some sex to the movie. What I did see was that the role wasn't needed really, and could have been cut out and the film would have been just as good. Maybe with the sequel they'll have her in a decent role within the story, and have her giving some sex and style to the story.




Is it a classic? As a fan I'll say no, but it wasn't a disaster and will grace my DVD/BLURAY collection when it's released.....Rock on a sequel.

7/10

On to the next bunch of rouge military operatives.......THE LOSERS.


This is very similar to THE A TEAM is the fact they're framed for a crime they didn't commit and decide to try and clear their names by using their skills and lots and lots of guns and explosives!!!

The cast are cool as f*ck and we have Captain America (Chris Evans) Uhura (Zoe Saldana) The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) Heimdell (Idris Elba is playing Heimdell in THOR in 2011!! and is a very cool British actor!!! Check out short lived vampire series ULTRAVIOLET for proof!!!) Columbus Short and Oscar Jaenda also star and play very cool characters POOCH and COUGAR.........haven't seen too much with them in, but i'm sure the horizon will open after their ultra cool performances in this movie.



Now I have read the first 2 graphic novels and this has a lot of scenes that are almost translated straight from page to screen......and they come across really well. The story is basic but very slick and cool, and is almost the A TEAM combined with OCEANS ELEVEN...........but I think the performances of EVANS, SALDANA and MORGAN made this movie my favourite out of the and THE A TEAM.




The only down side it that they tried to cram 2-3 volumes of the graphic novels into one movie and had to cut some of the cooler parts out of the movie all together. The big bad guy "MAX" is a little too comedy for my liking and does seem like a idiot sometimes that it almost becomes hard to believe that he is the mastermind behind WMD'S that can destroy islands.

Is it perfect..........again, no it's not but it does shine as a quality action movie with enough well balanced humor and action to give it a well deserved place in anyone's DVD collection. Even if the movie doesn't get a sequel, at least we can still check out their comic adventures and get some more LOSERS in our life........I will love a sequel and will keep you posted if I hear anything.

7.5/10


For me it's THE LOSERS......but only just. They are both great movies and shine in their own ways......give them a chance and make up your own minds. Sometimes the critics expect too much of popcorn movies, and they find it hard to sit down and enjoy a movie for what it is.

If you wanna appreciate these movies, just watch them after CLASH OF THE TITANS......you'll appreciate them more and more..........mainly cause CLASH is a massive pile of SH*T and could even make the worst action movie look like HAMLET!!!!!

I know everyones going to have their own opinion about these movies......frankly I don't care cause I think they're ace!!!!!

New LET ME IN trailer.

I don't scare easily, but this movie (LET ME IN) really gives me the creeps. Check out the new redband trailer (Not for the kids).

I've been SUCKER PUNCHED!! Teaser trailer looks awesome!!!

This movie has all the hallmarks for a massive smash hit movie. It looks slick and beautiful just like WATCHMEN and 300 (I know that people have their reservations about both, but hands down they're pretty to look at if nothing else. Note: I love both movies!!!)

The trailer has guns, dragons, explosions and some scantily clad hotties. Check out the trailer and the teaser posters to see the hotness!!!










The girls look hot (especially Vanessa Hudgens!!!) and the action looks awesome. Just a shame to wait till March 2011 to see it..........oh well, all good things come to those that wait!!

FIRST WALKING DEAD TRAILER!!!!!

DARKS DAYS HITS DVD SOON

I LOVED 30 Days of night........it was the first graphic novel that I had picked up for nearly 10 year and loved every page of it.

I was even happier when the movie smashed it's way into cinemas, and got goose bumps when I heard that DARK DAYS was being made...............although that turned into a bit of disappointment when I found out that it'd go straight to DVD.

I've waited with baited breath to see whether this will be a little gem of a movie like the first one, or whether it'll have that trashy "straight to DVD" vibe to it...........now that the first trailer has hit the web, I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised and looking forward to its release.

Here's the trailer and make up your own minds. I'm just happy that vampires are back in blood shedding, gore splattering, violent action that these immortal creatures of the night are known and loved for.

PRIEST trailer finally hits the net.......and looks great!!

Here's the official synopsis for Priest, which hits theaters on May 13, 2011.

PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an alternate world -- one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

New TRON LEGACY trailer..............pants wettingly awesome!!

BATTLE: LOS ANGELES..............finally some more pics and info!!!

I've been looking forward to this since I rear about it over a year ago. I think Aaron ECKHART and Michelle RODRIGUEZ are awesome actors, and watching them blow the living shite outta aliens will certainly place me squarely in the cinema queue!!

No trailer yet, but check out the set pics!!



With a rather lackluster year for movies so far (hopefully TRON will change that), I'm hoping that 2011 will yield better movies.

Just watched this trailer for a new series coming soon. It's all digital and has the same kinda look as Sanctuary. Check out the full story from AINTITCOOL.COM.

At Comic-Con, MGM will be unveiling a new "digital series" called 10, 000 DAYS; we have an exclusive preview for AICN readers.

The studio describes the concept thusly...

10,000 days ago Comet 23 struck the Pacific Ocean with the magnitude of all the nuclear weapons in the world. A lucky few survived the heat blast and fire storms. And then the freezing began. The comet knocked Earth away from the sun; encasing the planet in snow and ice. For those who survived, life was violent and dangerous. The daily battle wasn’t just against the punishing climate but against each other for the basic necessities that meant life or death. Still, the weather was growing colder and the ice was expanding. Then they found an object from the past, buried deep in the ice. And with it came a choice. A choice that could either save them or destroy them.

Check out the trailer.

CHECK OUT THOR'S GUNS!!!!!

I saw a few pictures of Chris Hemsworth and didn't really buy the whole "I am THOR god of thunder"..........how wrong was I!!!

Check out his bloody arms and you can see the muscle that this boy has packed on to make himself into a believable THOR......I can still remember a skinny kid in aussie soap HOME AND AWAY.

I'm getting kinda excited to watch this now........roll on THE AVENGERS movie........This is gonna rock!!!!!

Green Lantern Movie - New Pics

More photos here from Entertainment Weekly magazine for the upcoming Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie.

Enjoy!

Mark Ruffalo Up For The Part Of Bruce Banner In Avengers?

Say it isn't so!

Yep, unfortunately even though the initial rumour I read today of our own David Tennant maybe being up for the role of Bruce Banner in the new Avengers movie it would now seem that Mark Ruffalo of all people is now in final negotiations instead.

It's an unconfirmed semi-rumour so don't take it as fact just yet, but we could be looking at the new addition to the 2012 comic wonder movie right now... Meh... I'd be more blown away by a gnat fart at the moment... No offence Markey boy.

Star Wars: A New Hope - Partially Performed On A Subway Car *CRINGE*

If I was on this tube/subway car and these guys started doing this in front of me I would seriously chuck myself head first out of the nearest available window... Not kidding, I'm a super-geek, nay "GEEK-GOD", but hell, if this happened in front of me and I had nowhere to go I'd cringe into the size of a Coke can in my seat with embarrassment.

The passengers looked like they enjoyed the show though!

Tron Legacy - New Billboard Pic

Here's a new Tron Legacy billboard pic of Garrett Hedlund in a sort of disc-throwing-battle-stance in his cool Tron style costume. December 2010 can't come quick enough!

Elizabeth Banks To Star As Tinkerbell In Live Action Movie - "Tink"!

Elizabeth Banks... Ahhh Elizabeth Banks... Oh how I love Elizabeth Banksssssssss.........

OK I'm awake... Oh yeah, that's it. News from Variety states that Disney studios and Miss Banks' own production company will join forces very soon to bring "Tink" (better known as Tinkerbell from Peter Pan) to the big screen in her own live-action movie.

The only news apart from Elizabeth's involvement so far is that the film will center around Tink's "mischievous nature" and will no doubt be not unlike the 2007 movie "Enchanted".

Personally I can't get enough of Elizabeth Banks (if you hadn't noticed) and I think that she'll be perfect for the role that has so far only been realised on screen and in movies through cell and CGI animation. My kids will love the film... and of course so will I!!!

Dr. Who X-mas Special To Feature Michael Gambon & Katherine Jenkins?

News on the web states that the upcoming Dr.Who Christmas special will feature both a honeymoon (obviously Amy and Rory's) and none other than Dumbledore himself - Michael Gambon.

Now the rumours are saying that as it's a Christmas special and the Doctor is sure to give the happy couple a unique and amazing honeymoon trip in the Tardis one can only come to the rapid (and maybe way off) conclusion that Gambon may well be playing Santa Claus and the honeymoon may be at the North Pole (no doubt where some nefarious alien is trying to thwart Christmas etc). It's just a rumour of course and Gambon could just be some random old guy who's part of the story, but I like the other idea!

I also like the news that classical diva (and unbelievably stunning blonde) Katherine Jenkins will also be a guest star and will be singing Christmas carols during the show.

Can't wait!

Thor Movie - Hi Res Image Of Thor, Odin And Loki...

Although all three look like rejects from a World of Warcraft cosplay convention this new pic of Thor, Odin and Loki looks pretty cool. OK so we're missing Thor's winged helmet and Loki's horned helmet (which I'm sure they could've added to the movie without them looking stupid) but all in all it's a bright and striking image which brings a little hope to my heart that Thor might not suck... "Might" being the operative word...
