The Academy Awards 2012: If I Had A Ballot
The Oscars are kind of silly but I love the all the same. As I run through a bunch of the categories, giving my predictions on who the winner will be I will be more using this space to list out who I would have put in these coveted slots and I think you will find that I disagreed quite →
Internet Film Critic Society: 2011 Year End Awards
I vote for these, even if I didn't get to see quite as much as I would like, but I felt pretty confident I wouldn't change much come February when I write up my year end list. For now this will have to hold you over till then as to where I fall, and I will say I don't agree →
The Breakdown – The Hunger Games Trailer
Sometime within the last year my sister bought the three books that make up this trilogy. Starting with book 1, The Hunger Games hooked me right away, and I was already tearing up 20 or so pages in because of how quickly I had attached myself to the characters. It is an addictive read, to say the least, as the →
The Breakdown – Marvel’s The Avengers Trailer
Last night the ALCS game ran long on FOX due to extra innings, so neither Nate or myself got more than 8 minutes of Terra Nova's episode recorded. Lucky us, if FOX is still doing their "make you suffer" game of posting shows 8 days after airing, we're gonna have to wait a while to see the rest of the →

Poster Reveal – The Tempest
So I have already been excited for the upcoming film adaptation of The Tempest for a while now for more than a decent amount of reasons. Let's just go down the list. 1 - Say what you will about Shakespeare re-appropriating stories and using crazy language that needs Sparknotes' No Fear Shakespeare section to understand, that man is ridiculously awesome. →
Scott Pilgrim vs. The Prequel!
So Cartoon Network has animated a brief prequel segment for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World which goes into Scott and Kim's high school romance. The animation is pretty simple but captures Bryan Lee O'Malley's panels almost frame for frame as you can find this segment in the beginning of Vol. 2. This scene was probably one of my favorites in the →

Step Up 3D is the Savior of 3D in Cinema or: How to Stop Complaining About Post Coverted 3D And Realize The Potential In Native 3D Films
I never thought Step Up 3D would renew my interest in 3D at the cinema. While I was never a very negative detractor of the format, my patience has been tiring with this unfortunate run of mediocre post-conversions that we have been subjected to since Avatar. But short term memory deprived detractors rejoice, Step Up 3D is here to →
Comic-Con International 2010 – My Experience in Nerd Heaven
A couple of weeks ago I excitedly told my aunt that I was going to Comic Con in a week, with a big ol’ smile on my face. I didn’t really expect her to be jealous, but I was overly excited. Then she asked if it was a gathering of comics or something. As in comedians. I then proceeded to →
Will It Fall? The Final Shot of Inception (Spoilers)
So obviously Lauren and I (Check out our reviews first; Lauren’s and Zac’s) think Inception is a pretty swell movie. Lauren has picked it as her best picture favorite and it seems to be a lock Top 5 for me as well. But we both agree that the final shot of the film is easily the biggest flaw of the film and →

Joss Whedon to Helm The Avengers!
I don't usually like to post something till it is a lock but Deadline New York seems pretty sure of this story and it is great news for everyone if this hiring goes all the way through till the shoot and till release day. For those unfamiliar with Whedon he has created such cult TV classics like Firefly (and its awesome →

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse – Teaser Trailer
*Spoiler alert* I'm personally a fan of the books, and I have high hopes for this film. This trailer however, is crappy just as I expected it to be. They decide to focus on the love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob instead of anything else. There were no shots of Victoria's new vampire mate, her vampire army, or the wolf →
Scott Pilgrim Film Breaks from Books After Third Book?
MTV says so, well actually Edgar Wright tells MTV so, and for fans of the books that might be a tad disappointing if not for all the raves coming out of the two test screenings that have been done over the last couple months.
