Man is the Indian Punisher Different


I mean I thought I would have heard of Marvel giving away the rights I mean sure there is some glaring differences. I don't remember Frank Castle wearing sunglasses or riding a motorcycle sleeping or fighting clones of V from V for Vendetta. Nor do I believe that Frank Castle ever took time out from killing or angsting to get dancing lessons. I'm also pretty sure he doesn't have psychic powers and fly unless that's a recent continuity addition. But I gotta admit this outdoes both shit Hollywood movies. Also that woman looks very fine.

Predators Review: Welcome Back Joey Crabface

Predator is hands down one of the best movies of the 80's and definitely one of Arnold Schwarzenegger best films (who's resume also fills some of my favorite 80's movies: Conan, Terminator etc.). It's also on record of having the worst series rate ever up there with Psycho (seriously why did we need a Psycho 2, 3 and 4?) or Jaws. Predator 2 sucks so hard I think this movie is trying to write it out of continuity. And don't get me started on how much Alien vs Predator is one of the worst ideas since... well Freddy vs Jason. But now thanks to incredibly awesome producer Robert Rodriguez we finally after 23 fucking years we have a Predator movie that can stand next to Predator. It even remembers to bring the blind firing into the jungle where they can't hit a damn thing.

The Only Thing That Could Make Firefly More Badass...


Would be a badass 80's opening theme. Props to the guys at io9 for making such a badass opening. Now if we ever tap into the power to move between dimensions and we find one where Joss Whedon's masterpiece (better than Buffy by a mile and even Buffy is really badass) was not stupidly aired out of order and cancelled with only a true gem of first season to it's name + a finale movie, than hopefully this is it's theme song. Because the theme song (Fox selected it I guarantee) is a bit bad because the I'm pretty sure sci fi geeks don't listen to country western.  Yeah we get it, it's a space western. Also about the opening (this opening) where is Simon Tam. Never mind who cares this is too good.

Warehouse 13: Nothing Changes But HG Wells

Syfy (sorry that name is still stupid), has a hit on it's hands with Warehouse 13 and as a science fiction fan I'm glad to see it. Warehouse 13 is one of the few more upbeat sci fi shows still around and while I love the darker storylines of Fringe and V. This is definetly one of the show's strengths but it's not it's best. No the show's best quality is the crush it has on the entire genre of science fiction.

Why Grand Theft Auto Sucks

Yes you read that right, in my opinion Grand Theft Auto sucks. Now before the comments are filled to the brim with hateful trolls and death threats, I do not hate Grand Theft Auto. I love the game's story, gameplay, graphics etc. I do not believe it affects children and that it is a very good dark satire of America. And for this I love it but what sucks is it's open world. And again yes it's detailed and full of awesome cars to steal and citizens to snipe but my problem is what it's open world of. A metropolitan city.

Singularity Review: Revenge of the Power Glove

I really, really wanted to love this game. I have been excited about it ever since the first details back in January of 2009. I followed the game's progress, watching every trailer and reading as many articles as I could. But like Raven Software's last two games X Men Origin Wolverine and Wolfenstein the game has come out mediocore. Well I better get to the meat.

Why Pre Orders are Bullshit


Pre Orders are bullshit. Plain and simple. But I probably better explain. First I shall cover my ass by saying yes pre ordering can be a good option sometimes but not very often. In fact extremely rarely. Here's some examples:

Future Series

I'm thinking of doing trailer reviews because yesterdays review of Let Me In's Trailer (by the way title change is stupid and the only reason they did that is because the producers believe your to stupid to figure out the title: Let The Right One In) was so much fun that considering people can get so hyped up over shit trailers that it's always nice to rip the marketing department a new one. Concept finished next up: name.

NOTE: Probably will do Tv and Game trailers as well.

Please Tell Me You Let The Wrong Trailer In


Let the Right One In is one of the smartest written horror and vampire movies ever made. So if you don't about your wondering how could such a movie be forgotten. Well you never saw it in a cinema, unless you live in Sweden. Yes the movie is Swedish so for sub haters steer clear and wait for the remake where they pump some steroids into it and americanize it. Yes the trailer looks like the movie will be very diffrent as it won't have some things that made the original fantastic like twisted morality and ambiguity as these are words few executives know. Maybe it's the rock trailer music playing over it or the main boy character doesn't look like blonde boygirl (actually that's a good thing) but this looks like another poor remake.

Updates

Yes, there's been little activity since Sunday and for that I apologize. I happened to have a lot I wanted to load off last week and maybe I did that too quickly but I had to dump a lot of the game previews because those kinda need to be done very quickly. If you want some things I will be writing soon here's a list of things:
-Futurama Reviews: This show will get weekly episode reviews so stay tuned for tomorrow
-Transformers War for Cybertron Review: will be late as I ordered it online and it still has yet to show so possibly not even until next week
-Singularity Review: Playing it as we speak (or you read)
-Other things are probably a review of Persons Unknown, possibly I might see Knight and Day, I will definetly review The Last Airbender

Today though look forward to an editorial on Wonder Woman's new costume

Crackdown 2 Impressions: Dead Gone By Dawn

Crackdown released way back in 2007 was a decent open world game that it's only real selling point was A, it was kind of a superpowered open world and B, it had a Halo 3 Beta Key. Besides that the game's story was dull, gameplay repetitive and parts were very, very boring. The multiplayer was a saving grace of the game because it was insane and fun and there was lots of big explosions. Oh yeah and I could pick up a car and throw it gang members. Overall the game was all about having a huge world with all the roof jumping, car throwing and giant ass explosions with co op. Crackdown 2's demo was very similar to the first game good or bad.

Doctor Who Series 5 Review: Solid With No Cracks

I like many were very, very sad when David Tennant's Tenth Doctor died and was regenerated into his newest incarnation: Matt Smith's Eleventh. Yes, comparisons could be made between the two but let's be honest every Doctor ever (hesitant of the 8th a little I guess, he's kind of the George Lazenby of the Doctors) was solid in the role. Matt Smith is no exception. Still like the Tenth Doctor took till "The Girl in the Fireplace" Matt Smith took a little time to solidify him in are hearts. For me that episode and one of the best of the season was Amy's Choice. But I'll get to that episode soon but first the main cast.
