There is news on the Comic Con front. Talking to Kevin Frasier, the PR director of Comic Con, he reveals that quite literally, this will be the largest one yet. not only that here are some of the guests that will be there:

Believe it or not this is only a few of the artists tha will be there. You will recognize some of their names from the Walking Dead, the Killing, and the Avengers. There will also be actor and directors there, too. Not to worry, you will also get your list of A-star actors. It remains to be seen who will be there but I will keep you updated on that when that time comes.

Here is the new Dark Knight Rises trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5VDDJlsD6I

In it, you will see many items of speculation somewhat answered. With the Internet rigamarole of information, it has been confirmed by sources that Christian Bale will not have as big of a role as expected. This is exciting news. There is also confirmed reports that this movie will not follow Knightfall, the episodes in the comics that has Bane breaking Batman’s back. In the movie, however, there are similarities.

Cabin in the Woods Review

waynelin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 03:13:01 +0000

You could tell early on that the Cabin in the Woods was not going to be a movie to be taken seriously. In fact, the movie was so totally off base and hilarious that it’s worth the price of admission. It turns every movie cliche onto its head and it is, to many, inspiring. Many remember Evil Dead for its totally off the wall humor and comedy in horror. Cabin in the WOods takes it further, even adding in a little Deus Ex Machina to the ending. A surprising cameo takes place, however. This movie has its moments and you know exactly what will happen to each character based on their stereotype. You have the jock, cheerleader, slut, geek, and geek love interest. You know exactly who ends up dying before finishing the movie but what’s funny about it is they don’t even try to make it serious. That is one thing to appreciate about this movie. It is worth it and should be seen for what it is, a cheesy A-B horror flick. It’s really a fun movie. Go check it out.

Metroid Movie!!! Its Real

waynelin — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 03:18:28 +0000

Normally, I’m not one to make rumors happen on this blog, but I have a friend in the movie business (actually producing and working in Hollywood) who has informed me of a Metroid movie in the works. While the script is still in raw there is one in the works that is being refined and when approved, will be set for 2014 release. My friend’s name is Jonathan Demmie, if you wanted to know. Early script resembles, “a mix of Metroid and Doom.” Whatever that means, it sounds interesting. No cast has been formed yet because a final script hasn’t been approved. However, when I get more information I will post it here on the blog. These are very early indications so don’t hang your hat on it. My friend is not associated with the project but could be in the future. This is on my watch list along with other movie ideas on the horizon.

You will be informed.

Total Recall Trailer

waynelin — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 02:39:30 +0000

It’s unfair to say that this is an anticipated movie, because we didn’t know very much about the original. That, and it was virtually forgotten in the lore of Arnold movies. The remake features Colin Farrell in a familiar role: ya know, the man that’s always so macho in everything he does. WEll, here’s the trailer so you can figure out whether this movie will be worth your time. Check it out when you get a chance. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/totalrecall/

Hunger Games Review

waynelin — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 21:42:03 +0000

How many cliches can we come up with in regards to the Hunger Games review? Well, none, according to my standards. I’m sure by now you have read dozens of them, but I will say these few very brief things about the Hunger Games, the most anticipated movie-from-book this side of Harry Potter. In the Hunger Games movie, die-hard fans of the book will see several things reminiscent of the book — in fact, it’s a pretty faithful adaptation. There is no getting around it. Viewers will be astonished at how true it is. The cinematography mixed with pretty stellar acting make it a pretty good watch. While it is a little on the violent side for younger viewers, there is something truly original and raw about the movie, human nature. The first 30 minutes will entice you and suck you completely in. It is worth the watch but more importantly if you haven’t read the book, it’s okay. The group I went with didn’t read it and enjoyed it as much as I did. From an entertainment perspective, Hunger Games excels.

In the industrial battery world, a good battery charger is needed to help keep industrial batteries charged, help companies continue to keep up with the ever changing security guidelines and keep the power going in an event of a power failure or natural disaster.

Silent House Review

waynelin — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 01:13:44 +0000

Not sure if this movie was really highly anticipated, but it sure should have. It was really pretty chilling, coupled with a fine performance by Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister of the Olsen twins). This movie combined many elements of the shaky Blair Witch cam and normal film shooting, which made the effects kind of creepy. The movie is very claustrophobic. It is not an easy movie to watch if you need some space. The plot revolves around Olsen’s character as she is helping renovate the home with her dad.

We get one side of the story, but the twist at the end is NOT like La Casa Muda. Many of the similarities exists but on the whole the differences are what really makes the film what it is. The real time is real. It’s actually scary how well things ended up being timed. Olsen has set a new precedent for herself as a Scream Queen, but it remains to be seen how well this movie will do in the box office. Silent House is worth a good scare. People will be scared and there will be some scenes you have to turn back from. It’s not pretty but it’s effective — and no, this is not a home invasion story. You will see!

Tickets for San Diego ComicCon

waynelin — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 02:27:26 +0000

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s that time of the year again. San Diego Comic Com is coming July 12-15. The 12th will be preview night and has a special ticket required for it. Week-long passes are also available. I am writing this now to let you know beforehand because last year’s Comic Con was sold out by May. This one promises to be the biggest (even bigger than last years). Hotels are available close to the convention. The last three years I have gone and surprisingly it gets better and better every year. In two weeks, the Anaheim Comic Con is going on, but it won’t nearly be as big as San Diego. Book in advance once tickets are available. I will let you know once they are available. If you can spring the extra few bucks, it is worth it getting the preview night tickets. Those are amazing and you can do some insane networking. I’ll keep you updated so stay tuned and find out.
