Watchmen to hit BluRay on July 21st

I know the next BluRay purchases I'll be making at the end of July. Not only will Watchmen be coming out, 300: The Complete Experience will be hitting store shelves as well. I'm sure both will be packed with extras galore! Regarding Watchmen, I can't wait to see what the store exclusives will be, I can already imagine all the Rorschach and Manhattan gimicks that will be bundled with the BluRay release!

I can be on Smallville? Really?

I blogged about an advertisement very similar to this regarding The Dark Knight, seeking extras to be on the third Batman film. Hate to break it to you, but it's not real. I couldn't help but notice it carried over into Smallville! I didn't click on this ad, but I know exactly it's intent. It's meant to farm your personal information so whoever is behind it can sell you things you won't want.

General Zod


In addition to Brian Austin Green playing Metallo, Smallville will be getting a new heavy hitter villain, Zod! British actor, Callum Blue will be playing Gneral Zod as he demands everyone to kneel before him! Villain wise, it looks like they're not holding back, I'm definitely excited for the new season to begin.

Transfromers 2: Revenge of the Fallen


This morning at 12:01AM, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen hit theaters for the masses wanting to get an early jump on the box office weekend. A friend of mine invited me to join him for the midnight show, but I was unable to make it not only because I was tired, but it never really crossed my mind to catch a midnight showing for this film. Originally, I was unenthusiastic about the first film, thinking "Great, another 80's rip that will do nothing but tarnish my childhood memories!" but walked away genuinely entertained. I'm hoping this sequel will have the same affect, but something tells me the the odds are highly stacked against it.

This is the Iron Man 2 teaser poster?

I really hope this is just a fan made imaged because this is not the most eye-catching teaser poster I've ever seen. Especially for the huge blockbuster that was Iron Man. If it is real, did they run out of ideas over there? Were there not enough iconic images in Iron Man to drum up a witty teaser poster? The bigger question, is this going to be a reflection of the film? I sure hope not!

Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland!

Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland is set to be released January 26th, 2010 starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway as Alice, The Mad Hatter and The White Queen respectively. Other actors on the film include Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Crispin Glover.

Alice In Wonderland seems perfectly fitted as a Tim Burton film. Watching the original animated film, it doesn't take a genius to point out how dark the film is with it's underlining twisted atmosphere. Talk about the right fit!

Pixar grants a dying girl her last wish

There's a reason why Pixar always takes the box office by storm and holds a special place in the hearts of their audience. It's because they know their audience. This particular story is definitely one that pulls at the heart-strings.

"The 10-year-old girl desperately wanted to see the new Disney-Pixar movie, "Up." But the cancer-stricken girl was too sick to go to a theater. Thanks to a family friend who got in touch with the movie studio Pixar, an employee of the Emeryville-based company arrived at Colby's home with a DVD copy of the movie. The Orange County Register reported Friday. The girl died later that night. Colby's mother, Lisa, said she had asked her daughter if she could hang on until the movie arrived. "I'm ready (to die), but I'm going to wait for the movie," she said her daughter replied."

The Joker isn't just a Batman skin!

The PS3 version of Batman Arkham Asylum allows you to create your own chaos by roaming the halls of Arkham as The Joker. What's great about this exclusive game play is that The Joker has his own way of doing things. It's not Batman remodeled into Joker. Check out the video and you'll see what I'm referring to. I drooled a little bit watching this video!

Iron Munn 2


It's confirmed, my favorite host from G4's Attack of the Show will be appearing in Iron Man 2, Olivia Munn! Although she hasn't revealed the role she'll be playing, she will be involved in some way shape or form. It seemed convenient that a few months ago she was tweeting on the set of Iron Man 2, while hinting she was going to be involved in a major blockbuster film. I had a feeling she was involved with Iron Man 2. Her Playboy cover conveniently hits stands in the next few weeks! Talk about icing on the cake... or pie in this case!
