  • Freeman Looking Great as the Hobbit!

    Here’s a great new pic just released today from the upcoming Hobbit movie due out next December 2012, it’s a simple picture of Martin Freeman as the Younger Bilbo Baggins and all I can really say is get me the HELL back to Middle Earth as soon a possible! It seems us ‘Rings’ fans are…

  • LARPing Hits The Mainstream in Knights of Badassdom!

    So it seems that LARPing is getting some real props lately in the world of movies. The new trailer for “Knights of Badassdom” continues this trend on the silver screen. Let’s admit it LARPing is an easy thing to poke fun at, personally I have never really done it in the traditional sense but never…

  • Truly Un-Epic Hand Lasers Rule!!

    So you all are aware of how much I like bad movies? You may be able to tell by my post yesterday how much I enjoy 80’s fantasy movies. So once again I stumble upon a trailer for a movie that I simply have GOT to see. It’s apparently from 1984, made in Indonesia and…

Now I wonder by looking at the movie poster how this movie ever could have slipped beneath my radar? My…

    Ever wonder what might happen if a troop of LARP-ers suddenly went wacko?!

  • The Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Wasn’t THAT Bad!

    So I finally got around to seeing the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie “On Stranger Tides”, the fourth installment to the ridiculously popular Disney franchise. I know what you’re thinkin’, does this movie really need  any more hype?  Probably not, but I waited on seeing this one a little longer than I’d originally planned…

  • Everything You Need to Know About Monsters and More!

    I just stumbled upon and interview/article that’s got everything you need to know about the master of monsters, Guillermo Del Toro! I have to say I pretty much worship the guy and love just about every movie he’s made or even produced for that matter (minus Splice). In this interview you get the scoop on what…

  • Guilty Pirate Pleasures…

    So I guess it could be said that the Pirates of the Carribean movies were somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. Really I was pretty dang impressed with all three of them-least impressed with the third film. But hey I own them all on dvd. So now we finally get to see what the…
