As we draw closer to the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey let us reflect upon the amazing production and costume design of our heroes. There are thirteen dwarves and a hobbit that we will be spending a lot of time with. Take a look at our main cast in their own individual character posters to get a feeling of who they are before the movie releases. Continue reading
We’re less than 4 days away until Peter Jackson unleashes his adaptation of The Hobbit to the world. The scary thing is, he was able to split up a 310 page book into three separate films. What’s even more terrifying is the fact that the official trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is absolutely stunning. Can Jackson top his own Lord of the Rings trilogy? Continue reading
It’s time to get into full Hobbit mode. After Skyfall and Lincoln release this weekend, the next big budget blockbuster will be The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. All three are in my most highly anticipated films of the year list, but right now you can purchase your tickets for the IMAX release of An Unexpected Journey. Continue reading
One of the most epic, fantasy films is coming to home video in one complete, massive blu-ray box set this Friday. I’m talking about Harry Potter of course! The Complete Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection Blu-Ray Box Set comes complete with with 31-discs and over 37 hours of special features jam packed for your viewing pleasure. But before you go out and spend an excruciatus amount of wizard gold, one man has created an nostalgic retrospective to get you in the mood. Continue reading
When it comes to an epic film series, you may have a strong case in stating that the second film is the strongest. The Empire Strikes Back, T2: Judgement Day, X2: X-Men United, Spider-Man 2, Aliens, and The Godfather: Part 2 just to name a few. And The Dark Knight is no different. Taking a look back at the film that single-handedly put Christopher Nolan in the spotlight and paved the way for The Dark Knight Rises. After four years of its release, I review The Dark Knight. Continue reading
With the truly successful Lord of the Rings trilogy in his back pocket, Mr. Jackson and his producers believe they may be able to squeeze every last penny out of your pocket by turning The Hobbit into a trilogy, not two separate films as originally thought. Nothing is official, yet, but if you were developing a movie – with mult-Academy Award winning related movies under your belt – wouldn’t you like to see how much money people would throw at you? (If you watch one part, you have to watch the others, obviously!)
Here is where I say we stand up and protest! My fellow geeks, nerds, Hobbits, and friends, we must fight against this sort of tyranny and demand studios stop with splitting up stories into multiple films. Continue reading
There is a movie that has come out this weekend, it’s kind of small, you may have heard of it before: The Dark Knight Rises. As most film junkies do, I am chronologically revisiting previous films in this trilogy so that the newest film can be watched in sequence. Thus we begin with Batman Begins. It may not have been the fuel to put The Dark Knight Rises on the radar for everyone to see, but it still has its merit for being a decently well put-together superhero origin story. But how does it hold up after seven years? Continue reading
It goes without saying, you must see Batman Begins and The Dark Knight before you step one foot inside the theater for The Dark Knight Rises. This film has had fanyboys/girls’ loins wet from over excitement since the last shot of The Dark Knight with Batman escaping into the night. There are many great actors that hold together this epic, epic trilogy, but where else have you seen them before? I’m going to take you deep into the bowels of some of Gotham elite’s filmography, and present to you some films that highly reflect all of the actor’s talented abilities. Continue reading
Today is a big day in film for Comic-Con 2012, bigger than Thursday and even bigger than Friday. Saturday hosts panels for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Iron Man 3, Django Unchained, and Man of Steel. There basically wouldn’t be any other reason to go to Comic-Con than this day. This day is huge. But what else can we expect to see? Take a look after the jump where you can find some big stuff from video games, television, and more! Continue reading
Tis the night before the night before Comic-Con 2012. There has already been one tragic death of a Twihard, and let’s hope we won’t see any instances that escalate to that level of madness. (We all remember the pen stabbing of 2010.) But I digress. Festivities begin tomorrow night with sneak peaks of the convention before the big show. Preview night can get a bit crazy, and there are a few TV pilots that will air screenings as a special treat. Continue reading
