There are some rather tasty looking films coming out this year, and make no mistake.  Here, I’ve decided to look at what in my opinion will be the top five best films of the year.    Of course, I’m only looking at only the top five Hollywood blockbusters - I’ll look at indie films in a […]

There’s a new movie trailer out for The Incredible Hulk.  Scene by scene, we see Edward Norton discussing his symptoms of being the Hulk, the lack of control he has over it.  We see the army coming to kidnap him, as he’s classed as army property.  It also reveals how Emil Blonsky (aka Abomination) is […]

I own a Philips DVD player that includes DivX technology, allowing me to feel confident that my player can pretty much play any disc that I throw into it. I really enjoy the player and I am happy to announce that Philips and DivX has signed an agreement that will see Philips continue to license […]

According to the recently-published 2008 Digital Entertainment Study (PDF file) by Entertainment Media Research, the lack of choices and alternatives contributes more to piracy than than the fact that bootlegged wares come free or cheap.
At least 70% of respondents in the UK study says that legal sites don’t offer as much downloads than their illegal […]

As a big Asian film geek, one of the movies I am hotly anticipating is the new Stephen Chow movie CJ7. The HK superstar’s new project is doubly interesting for me since it is going to be science fiction-comedy. The movie’s plot is something that western moviegoers would instantly recognize from other Hollywood movies — […]

Comic book legend Frank Miller is hard at work directing the big screen adaptation of The Spirit — the seminal comic book that Will Eisner created.
Miller has been gushing about his actors in his blog — and I think his praise is well placed. With actors like Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Eva Mendes, Gabriel […]

Over on GadgeTell there is a great post about the format wars, and how the winner, Blu-ray, came out on top, not from the consumer side, but instead from the industry side.
According to an analyst at ABI research the end of the format war was not the true measure of consumer demand when it came […]

Your eVites are all responded to. Your Roomba is charged up to take care of the messy aftermath.  And you’re ready to go on and on about the importance of 1,080 lines of interlaced vertical resolution.
It must be Super Bowl Sunday.
The funny part is, you couldn’t give a crap about the game.  You have two […]

Since this is February I’m going to share one of my ongoing love affairs with you guys. Yes, I’ve been having a long love affair with the zombie genre. I think zombies are one of the coolest creatures in fiction. I’ve devoured practically every zombie movie out there. George Romero is my hero and The […]

If there’s one movie that has the geeks all excited, it’s the Star Trek re-boot being helmed by JJ Abrams. Not a lot of info is being given to the media in terms of the story but, thankfully, the cast has been announced. Chris Pine will play Kirk, with Heroes’ Zachary Quinto getting the role […]

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is currently developing the big screen “Shazam” adaptation along with director Pete Segal, and of course, comicbook fanboys are quite thrilled about this.
The great thing about the casting though is The Rock’s decision to let fans dictate which character they wanted him to play. As a big star, it would have […]

I finally found the time to watch Cloverfield yesterday.
And you know what? I actually liked it! Just to get this one minor detail out of the way, I didn’t get dizzy at any time during the movie. I never got bored, too.
The whole “shaky cam” theme was actually quite effective. It made the movie […]

I still haven’t seen Cloverfield but I’ve been anticipating the movie ever since I got wind of it. JJ Abrams take on the monster movie is just something this geek is not going to let pass.
I’ve been reading comments about the movie from those who have seen the movie though and although I am not […]

Bad news for Justice League fans, Warner Bros. has reportedly shelved the live action movie that it was working on.
The Justice League movie, which was to be directed by George Miller, has faced a number of obstacles, among them the failure to get tax breaks for filming in Australia as well as difficulties in […]

Here’s a new photo from the upcoming Iron Man flick coming this year. I wouldn’t go into the details of what the pic is about because, really, who would know, right? Let me just say that Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark is a brilliant casting choice. I can’t see anyone else playing the billionaire […]

 
Dragon Wars… what can I say about this movie that could really hurt the filmmaker and every single person who was party to making this abomination?
I watched Dragon Wars thinking that it would hark back to the b-movie greatness of Q: The Winged Serpent (anyone still remember this amazing movie). But all did was get […]
