Movie Review A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010

There is a time and place for everything, but a remake of an honestly good horror film that isn’t too dated and conceptually still scary is pretty unnecessary. Now if they were to remake A Nightmare On Elm Street with the intent of being more creative and bring a unique vision that could have improved the original story making it more horrifying, than yes, I’m all for that. Alas, this did not happen and was brought a lackluster of a film lacking any imagination, depth or even a solid story. Continue reading →

On Lopez tonight last week, one of the greatest collaborations ever to happen to music exploded on to television with the duet of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” performed by William Shatner and the “Susan Boyle” of Taiwan, Lin Yu Chun. This is probably perhaps one of the best songs performances ever, EVER.

Smurfs Beware! Gargamel is Here!

The first official photo of Hank Azaria as Gargamel in Sony Pictures Animation/Columbia Pictures’ big screen CGI/live action hybrid 3D adaptation of The Smurfs has been released on ComingSoon.net. I think it is pretty hilarious that this film is underway and looks very believable in a sense that this was a cartoon character. The whole synopsis sounds to me like the movie Enchanted meets Alvin and the Chipmunks. I can’t wait to see where this film ends up when a trailer hits.

The Smurfs will be released August 3, 2011 with voices and acting from Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vergara, Anton Yelchin, Jonathan Winters, Katy Perry, Alan Cumming, Fred Armisen, George Lopez, Paul Reubens, John Oliver, Kenan Thompson, B.J. Novak, Jeff Foxworthy, Wolfgang Puck and Gary Basaraba.

Philips recently released Carl Erik Rinsch’s futuristic action thriller short film The Gift. It is about a robotic manservant who flees the police. Rinsch is not only Ridley Scott’s protege, but also a commercial director for Scott’s company RSA.

Rinsch’s name as he was originally tapped to direct a prequel/remake of Alien, but Fox got Ridley Scott to helm the project himself instead. Rinsch’s involvement, after seeing this, would have been pretty interesting to watch. Rinsch’s The Gift shows an amazing sense of imagination, visual effects artistry and composition.

You can enjoy his short film after the jump!

A first official look of Chris Hemsworth suited up in the Thor armor has surfaced thanks to Yahoo! Movies. Looks like they are keeping true to the comic book design while still grounding it to the real world and not so animated. This is surprisingly the first picture we’ve seen from the shooting of Thor since it has been shooting for quite a while. You can see the Lightening God in action next year, May 6, 2011 with Natalie Portman and Sir Anthony Hopkins as well.

With Marvel Studio’s The Avengers film directed by Joss Whedon already slated for May, 4, 2012 to kick off the Summer movie experience and Sony Picture’s Spider-Man Reboot directed by Marc Webb coming out July 3, 2012, two more big names have dropped this week coming out for the 2012 Summer film season. First off, with the announcement of upcoming Warner Bros. IMAX films, Christopher Nolan’s Batman 3 was announced for 2012, but now there is an official date of July 20, 2012! Along with that big bombshell,  G.I. Joe 2, which I could care less about,has a release expectation of Summer of 2012 thanks to interview with Lorenzo di Bonaventura at the MTV Movie Blog. What more can we ask for in terms of big Summer blockbusters other than asking Michael Bay for Transformers 4 a year after TF3? Or perhaps we shouldn’t……Wishfully Kick-Ass 2, but only in a perfect world.

AMC announced recently that the season four of the critically acclaimed show, Mad Men, would start back up on July 25! This show is incredible, season three ended amazingly well, and if you have’t seen this show, WATCH IT! This show cannot be stopped and has won the Golden Globe for best drama series on television three years in a row, which has never been done before. Airing Sunday nights at 10PM (ET/PT) will return probably better than ever and hopefully not disappoint. Excited? Well you should be!

Official: Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Teaser Trailer

FINALLY! After 10 years of hopelessly waiting and distraught whether or not this game would be released, IT IS HERE! Well not yet anyways, but it is coming soon! Marvel announced today and it was revealed last week at Capcom’s annual Captivate event in Hawaii, the unveiling of Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. The teaser shows what is in store for some of the fighting animation and characters. Capcom has taken a little taste out of Street Figthter IV and mixed it in with the MvC style as well. I’m a little worried about the announcement of around only 30 characters when MvC2 had 56 playable characters. They say that there will definitely be brand new characters while still throwing in some classic characters as well; one of mine being Morrigan. The game will be released on the Playstation 3 and XBox 360, but no official release date yet.

“If I was scared of what the fans were thinking or had any trepadition at all about doing this, it wouldn’t have gotten made,” says Niitsuma. “As a creator, I have confidence in what I create and I believe that what I make is something that the fans will enjoy. As long as I keep that in mind, I’m pretty sure this is something that the fans will enjoy.”

Patrick Jean over at the studio One More Production created this fun little short, Pixels, that is visually stimulating and a great throwback to great video game classics. As a giant swarm of pixels draw near, more and more video game characters start attacking New York City. From Donkey Kong to Tetris, this short holds nothing back and brings visual effects to great heights on such a little film. I don’t think Steve Wiebe has a chance. Wait no further and go watch this short after the jump!
