As one of the most anticipated video game releases of the year, it comes as sad news that Nintendo has decided to delay the release of The Legend of Zelda this year. In a formal video from the game’s producer, Eiji Aonuma, Nintendo has made the executive decision to hold off on release until they have completed the “ultimate” Legend of Zelda experience for fans. You can find the official statement after the break. Continue reading
Ryan Reynolds gave us our first look at the “Merc with a Mouth” when he Tweeted himself in costume for the upcoming Deadpool movie today. After a very disappointing stint as the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, fans will finally see the character the way he was truly meant to be.
With the highly anticipated Deadpool movie set for release in February of next year, Ryan Reynolds decided it best to tease fans by tweeting an official tongue-in-cheek photo of the iconic Deadpool costume a la Burt Reynolds’ – no relation – infamous centerfold in Cosmopolitan. While it is just an image, the tone serves as an indicator of what we can expect from the film. Clearly the team behind Deadpool definitely knows their audience as well as the satirical nature of the character.

In addition to a sneak peek of the official Deadpool costume, moviegoers were also treated to the launching of the Deadpool movie’s official Twitter as well as a synopsis listed on the Official Deadpool movie website:
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
Now we know that the film will revolve around Deadpool’s origin story with Taken-esque elements of revenge driving the plot. Although, this is not anything too substantial, it is a lot more information than we have been privy to thus far.
Directed by Tim Miller, Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson aka Deadpool, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa (confirmed on Instagram), T.J. Miller as Weasel (confirmed on Twitter), and Gina Carano as Angel Dust (confirmed on Hollywood Reporter). The film is set to be released in theaters on February 12, 2016.

Brace your bank accounts, it’s time to see what’s Now Available to Own for the week of March 24, 2015. Every Tuesday we run down new movie and television Blu-ray and DVD releases as well as new video game offerings that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home. We’ve also compiled some slick deals that can save you some coin. New on shelves this week are The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Into the Woods, Unbroken, and more.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (Peter Jackson) Rated PG-13 [144 min] – The Company of Thorin has reached Smaug’s lair; but can Bilbo and the Dwarves reclaim Erebor and the treasure? And, if so, can they hold on to it? Starring Martin Freeman, Lee Pace, Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Armitage, and Evangeline Lilly
Remember in The Fellowship of the Ring when Gandalf exclaimed to the group, “run you fools!”? I believe he was prophesying about the production of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which happens to be the worst of all six Middle-earth films. A glorious display of CGI vomit, there are more visual effects shots than there are actors and crew involved in its production. And aside from vestige of real people on screen, the story is stretched so paper thin that there is hardly any story to follow at all, making it feel like everything you’re watching is amounting to nothing. There is no soul or reasonable plot to hold on to and resonate with. SKIP IT. Special features included are:
Into the Woods (Rob Marshall) Rated PG [124 min] – A witch tasks a childless baker and his wife with procuring magical items from classic fairy tales to reverse the curse put on their family tree. Starring Anna Kendrick, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, James Corden, and Emily Blunt
For such a wonderful cast, Into the Woods is fairly dull and lifeless. There isn’t anything really memorable about any of the iconic Grimm fairytale character. Not only that, the movie just doesn’t have enough fun with the concept of its shared universe to really make good on its promise. The actors sing well, but all the songs sound the same and none of them stand out either. And in the end, the film becomes a real mess at the end. RENT IT. Special features included are:
Unbroken (Angelina Jolie) Rated PG-13 [137 min] – After a near-fatal plane crash in WWII, Olympian Louis Zamperini spends a harrowing 47 days in a raft with two fellow crewmen before he’s caught by the Japanese navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp. Starring Jack O’Connell, Takamasa Ishihara, Domhnall Gleeson, and Garrett Hedlund
I was not able to catch Unbroken in theaters because by the time it hit during the holiday season. There were so many movies out during Christmas and Unbroken had many bad reviews, so I chose to avoid watching the overly long biopic that seemed way too cookie cutter for me. It’s a story that we’ve seen a thousand times and I couldn’t find anything new about the story it was telling to pique my interest. RENT IT! Special features included are:
Bloodborne (From Software) [Available for PlayStation 4] Introducing Bloodborne, the latest Action RPG from renowned Japanese developer FromSoftware, makers of the hit Dark Souls series, coming exclusively to the PlayStation®4 system. Face your fears as you search for answers in the ancient city of Yharnam, now cursed with a strange endemic illness spreading through the streets like wildfire. Danger, death and madness lurk around every corner of this dark and horrific world, and you must discover its darkest secrets in order to survive.
From what I can tell, Bloodborne has this Van Helsing like vibe. It scored very well across the board from critics. To me, it just seems like there’s a slew of horror games out there and this doesn’t have too much to differentiate itself from the pack. Key features included are:
All prices from Amazon.com. Best Buy, Frys, and Target all price match online prices.
