Anime Batman and Other Hidden Comic Movies

March 20, 2008 by Dave

By now, most of you are probably aware of all the big superhero movies coming out this summer. However, there are a few other projects that haven’t gotten quite as much attention that I’m interested in. Justice League: New Frontier was released recently, and since I was a huge fan of the original comic, I […]

Watchmen Characters Revealed

March 6, 2008 by Bartoneus

Today is exactly one year until the movie Watchmen is released, and now they’ve released a group of images of what many of the main characters look like.  Head over to the Watchmen site to see all of the glorious full-size shots. I have to say that I think these are perfect, especially the Comedian […]

Of Martians and JJ Abrams

February 20, 2008 by Bartoneus

One day, a week or two ago, I came across this story about images sent back from the Mars Spirit Rover.  What you see to the right is a small version of a panorama taken at a crater on Mars from this mission, and you can see a super high quality version at Nasa’s site […]

“TETSUO!” “TITANIC!”

February 20, 2008 by Dave

Did not see that one coming… Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce a live-action version of anime classic Akira. Technology may have finally caught up to the point where doing live-action Akira is more feasible than it once was. But how faithful will it be to the original? Who will direct? Will DiCaprio take a […]

Inq. of the Week: Summer Movies ’08

February 18, 2008 by Bartoneus

Who would have thought that in such a innuendo laden poll that Portable Hole would be the most popular choice?  Thankfully the Rod of Splendor and Holy Avenger tied at second place, but I was still very surprised that the ever vigilant Immovable Rod didn’t attract more people.  This week we’re all pretty excited after seeing the new […]

Review: "Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight" DVD

February 10, 2008 by Dave

When the announcement was first made, I was excited about the prospect of a Dragonlance animated movie. As the voice cast was announced, I was even more excited. Some big names were there- Kiefer as Raistlin!- which made me think they were sparing no expense in making a cherished novel from my teenage years into […]

Review: "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" DVD

February 9, 2008 by Dave

Who knew one giant gorilla could cause so many problems? The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary that primarily follows the story of Steve Wiebe, a laid-off family man who sees the world record in Donkey Kong and decides that he can beat it with the arcade machine sitting in his […]
