So there’s the new show being produced by Cartoon Network - Transformers: Animated. Kind of a dumb name and when I say “kind of” I mean, really dumb. I guess someone in Atlanta thought it was clever. There’s the trailer for it that looks ok, I appreciate that they are sticking with the original song [...]

See also my review of Iron Man.
Well, I’ve kind been waffling about whether I was going to be excited for the Iron Man movie or not and whether or not I liked Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Fortunately the trailer is out now and the waffling is over (via scifichick). I’m medium excited [...]

UPDATE: Huh, I just saw a google ad on the right that brought me to this page where you can see that they’re playing a few anime on the big screen for one day only. I haven’t seen Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles or Fullmetal Alchemist The Movie: Conqueror of Shambala - anyone into it? They’re [...]

Don’t you hate mondays? Don’t you love art?
If you go way back to the olden days you’ll remember a wee cartoon from japan called Speed Racer, mentioned here before. Well, there’s a little more news out on the movie being directed by the Wachowski brothers (via /.). Apparently they’ve got some new super ultra fancy [...]

You know it’s no secret that I harbor no love for George Lucas. His horrendousness is obvious since the very first “Special Edition” versions of the original trilogy, not even bringing up Episodes I-III or Raiders 4(??!?). But I save my vitriol for those - the good folks at Film Threat are taking it a [...]

I like the Improv Everywhere/Flashmob type of stuff. It’s pretty cool. My favourite one I’ve seen so far was the one they did at the Union Sq. big box store windows. I just came across this one they did down in Lower Manhattan - a big one with over 800 people. MP3 Experiment Four had [...]

I totally didn’t hear about this either. Howard just sent me the 411. Apparently the King of Kong is a documentary about the only two guys who get so far on Donkey Kong that the machine crashes, effectively they finished the game! Also apparent, when you finish a video game that the creators didn’t think [...]

You know, I haven’t watched a ton of Korean films, mostly just the usual suspects, Oldboy, Shiri and most recently 3-Iron amongst others. I feel like I haven’t seen enough - fortunately for me, the New York Korean Film Festival is about to kick off! And it is opening not just with a party, but [...]

So, I was browsing around on Amazon and while I was looking to see when Man Push Cart was going to come out on DVD (Oct 9, if you’re dieing to know and very well worth seeing if you haven’t already), for some reason on that page they were promoting Ang Lee’s newest film, Lust, [...]

Remember The Dark Crystal? Jim Henson’s opus? Well it’s 2007 and that means it’s the 25th anniversary and that means… Special Edition DVD! Now, they’ve tried to recapture some of the magic with MirrorMask (which I quite dug, but can understand why one might not have loved it), but it never caught on the way [...]
