Fat Ninja

What you have here, kids, is a full-scale, fully functional Warthog built by the people at WETA Workshops. You may have heard all the hullaballoo about the Halo movie. Hype for the project snow-balled pretty quickly when it was announced that Peter “Lord of the Rings” Jackson would be the film’s executive producer and that […]

I dunno if any of you have seen this, but it’s gotta be the goriest trailer I’ve ever seen in my life. There’s something about watching Sylvester Stallone reduce a clichéd representation of communist Asia to beef chuck with a .50 caliber machine gun at point blank range that makes me feel all cozy inside. […]

You may remember when I posted this bit about the Joker in Director Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight. That turned out to be a hoax. This one, however, turned up on IGN, and it looks fantastic. A perfectly believable and utterly terrifying look for the Dark Knight’s archnemesis.

Rumor has it that the image on the left is Mr. Heath Ledger playing the Joker in the follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight. Dean linked me to it earlier, and as soon as i saw it, I couldn’t help but think that Chris Nolan and the rest of the production team had pulled […]

I caught a trailer for the French film Renaissance a few weeks back and was thoroughly impressed by it. I know a lot of people probably haven’t heard anything about it, but Renaissance is a futuristic film-noir thriller that appears to be one part Sin City and one part A Scanner Darkly.

The Turtles Are Back…
We took the kids to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) on Friday night. I’ve been a fan of Eastman and Laird’s TMNT since I can remember. The original comic series was fantastic and I loved the early cartoons and the first movie, even though they were marked departures from the source […]

I finally got out and saw 300 last night. For the first time that I can think of, I spared myself exposure to exclusive clips and all of the other spoiler material that seems to accompany any big film these days. Instead, I entered the theater armed with little other than the avid endorsements of […]

If you didn’t know, I’m a huge fan of CBS’s series The Unit. In fact, I’d go so far as to call it one of the best shows out there. Well, I finally picked up the Season 1 box set and it was when I sat down to watch the featurette highlighting how the series […]

I’ll be honest and tell you that I never beat Silent Hill 2 on the Xbox because the game gave me some serious heebie-jeebies. Going into it, I thought, “Hey, I’ve played Resident Evil and Silent Hill’s got nothin’ on Resident Evil.” I was sorely mistaken. Silent Hill offered a different brand of horror. Resident […]

Anyone who knows me is well aware of my borderline obsession with feudal Japan. I am deeply enamored of Bushido and its ideals. The notions of personal and social responsibility and the self-sacrfice that accompanies them are near myths in our modern world of convenience and wealth. And while the last days of the Samurai […]
