More Captain America News and New Tron: Legacy Trailer!
Well some people seemed to think that “The Office” star John Krasinski would be perfect cast as Captain America. I’m not quite sure if it was just because of his appeal from the show, his quirkiness or his acting chops. For me, though he seemed a familiar face and a funny guy just really couldn’t see him as Cap. So today I was a bit relieved when it was officially decided today that he is NOT going to be wielding the shield. For me I will take a sigh of relief. Really he’s the least douchey of all the candidates-so in the end perhaps who knows, maybe he would have been the best choice?
But for now I have faith they will choose someone who screams “Cap” a little more. I heard as well that Chris Evans who played The Human Torch in the god-awful Fantastic Four flicks was up for the role as well now. Personally I’m holding out for my first pic “Tron Legacy” star Garrett Hedlund to snatch the role! I mean he’s in the Tron sequel with Jeff Bridges!! Oh yeah the new trailer for Tron:Legacy was also released-check it out here!
TerrorDrome the Video Game: Slasher vs. Slasher!
Have you heard about TerrorDrome: Rise of the Boogeymen yet? It’s a new fan made fighting video game that let’s you choose your favorite horror movie icon and go head to head with in a battle to the death with another! If you thought Freddy vs. Jason was as far as it would go you’re dead wrong! This game is a true horror junkies dream. The characters you can choose to play are quite amazing to say the least!
Tron 2 Plot Revealed!
Ok well at least it’s not a remake but an actual sequel! Yeah there’s been some info released by Disney on the Tron 2: Legacy storyline and so far it sounds pretty fun plus it even has Jeff Bridges reprising his role. I know, does Tron really need a sequel? Well I guess the answer is yes. I did have fond memories of that movie as a kid and also got many hours of enjoyment from playing the video game back in the day! Now if only video games were as cool as they were back in the 80’s right? I know some people would beg to differ but really I just don’t have time these days to learn 100 different moves and work 15 different buttons on a controller. Whatever happened to video games that had like one knobby controller or a roller ball and a button?!! Something you could learn to play in a few minutes! Either way this will be one movie where the CG will be welcomed with open arms!! Check out the plot line below…
Ron Jeremy…never ceases to amaze!
So for those of you that are familiar with the infamous Ron Jeremy, you know full well that there are no porn movie plots that are beneath him. From spoof of the Adam’s Family (The Maddams Family) to Flatliners (Fatliners), Mr. Jeremy has starred in over 1000 movies! And add to the madness of porn legacy that he has constructed, apparently he starred in Super Hornio Brothers…a spoof on Super Mario at the time that the Nintendo NES and SNES were kings…yeah the good old days of 1993.
Warhammer 40k to bring War to your DVD player!
Warhammer 40k was my preferred role playing game growing up but it was slow to catch on. But now looking back, Warhammer 40k has persevered and definitely built quite the niche/cult following. The high appeal of the RTS games Dawn of War did not hurt at all. Without a doubt, it was my favorite universe. I loved the look and feel, the fact that there was only War! The Space Marines were the baddest ass mo-foe’s in the universe and along with Eldar, Imperial Guard, Space Orks, and many more…the races, tech, and weapons just reeked of battle. But one thing always was on my mind that would be the cherry on the top of the sundae, a movie. Well hold on to your seat fellow dorks, cause sometimes dream do come true!
Space Ace Comes to the iPhone!
Wow, I could not contain my excitement when I saw this so I had to write up a quick one for you.
SPACE ACE for the iPhone!
Now, I apologize to anyone that may not have an iPhone, but just perhaps this is the tipping point for you go out and splurge! For those with the iPhone and have no clue what Space Ace is…here is a quick rundown.
Space Ace was a laserdisc video game produced by Don Bluth. It was unveiled in October 1983 and then released in Spring 1984, and featured film-quality animation played back from a set of Pioneer laserdisc players. The game play was quite simple, but the timing was the tricky part. When I was a kid, it was always a gamble to go to the arcade with the hopes of playing Space Ace and only to find that it was out of order. This was common due to the laserdisc player format being very new and unpredictable. Obviously, with the iPhone…this is not a concern anymore. The iPhone version is actually the third incarnation of the game. The game was revamped in the late 90’s in a DVD format where you used your remote as the controller; also available on Blue Ray and HD DVD if you care.
Castlevania the Movie!
Let me first start of by saying that Castlevania was probably the BEST game EVER for the NES! There were obviously some other really good ones but I will have to say this game pretty much blew my damn mind as a kid! I was the first one to beat the damn game too of any kid or teen in my whole neighborhood! My friend Dave Park (My NES partner in crime back then) and I liked it sooo much that when I beat it we were recording the final battle I had with Dracula on a VHS tape! Yeah you could do that back then. I almost lost my mind when I beat Dracula and then he suddenly turned into that HUGE white demon-then I had to kick it’s ass too! Anyway you can tell it was pretty epic for me and I still think I am some kinda video game hotshot still because of that.
Well it turns out that they are making a “Castlevania” movie now. I am not sure about you but I don’t think that video game movies have ever turned out that good. I guess Resident Evil had some promise but really these movies end up to be clunkers. Unless this movie has all the camera angles from the side view and all the bosses from the original game it just might as well not be made! The Simon Belmont better have a whip, some crosses and big jugs of holy water to toss too. Ok I admit maybe I am being a little too picky.
World Of Warcraft possesses boy!
If you have NOT seen this video yet you are in for a treat! It’s the WOW freakout of the century! This has gotto be simply one of the most amazing things I have seen in years. I remember freaking out as kid about some stuff I thought was pretty intense but it was never at this level of almost demonic like possession of the pre-teen soul! I guess in his defense his character was supposedly level 80 but STILL!!! Check this out!!
Ok so you didn’t have enough of this spazz? Well here he is again losing his damn mind!
“Ghostbusters 3” news!
There’s been ALOT opf hype lately about the return of the Ghostbusters! Especially since the recent arrival of the Ghostbusters video game which all the original ‘Busters voiced. It seems that all of the original cast members are all back for a third feature film with Rick Moranis only to be rumored and I believe fiming is to begin later this year. I am not sure about everyone else but I’m all about some good nostalgia! I really enjoyed the last Indiana Jones film and I get alot of shit for it all the time. I usually welcome good bands reuniting if at the very least just to see what happens and if they can actually pull it off successfully. So naturally I am pretty excited to see what they do with this new Ghostbusters movie.
Just go play “Wolverine” the Video game instead….
Recently my roomate got the new X-men Origins: Wolverine video game for Xbox. It is supposedly based on the movie, so I assumed it would be an ultra time wasting crap-fest. But to my surprise I was totally WRONG! In fact I would say if anyone wanted to know just how bad ass Hugh Jackman could have been as Wolverine they need to check out this game. The opening of this game is true Wolverine. The way he should have been done in the movie(s). It’s voiced by Jackman as well and believe me this game is bloody and brutal. The way Wolvie really is. When Wolverine uses his claws people bleed. Alot. I have a feeling this game was made because people knew just how truely shitty the movie was going to be. If you thought the Wolerine movie was good you need to see this cuz by the time it’s over you’ll remember what Wolverine is supposed to be like. So if you have not played this game yet, at the very least check out the opening sequence now-it makes me realize just how god damn cool the movie coulda’ shoulda’ been…
