Lockout? Sign Me Up

Jan 27th

Posted by The Bloated Penguin in TV & Flicks

Morning all,

Is it just me or has there not been a tonne of great news coming out of the movie world lately? It’s probably just me isn’t it? I’ll probably get a whole bunch of links sent over telling me otherwise. Anyways, here’s something to get really excited about. Check out the trailer for Lockout below. Lockout is also referred to as MS One: Maximum Security, but I have no idea why it has two names. Lockout is basically a badass Guy Pierce who goes into space to bring home some important guy’s daughter after she gets stranded in a floating prison… More >

Trailer for Unicorn City

Mehuh Now?

Yeah I know, that’s a weird title for a post about a trailer about a movie I’ve never heard of (wait… I just realized that’s pretty much all that happens here at BP). So who out there is interested in hardcore role playing games? Come on, be honest? Admit it, you’ve dabbled in WoW for a few hours, you’ve asked someone what Warhammer was and something about that scene in Role Models peaked your interest. Well, even if none of that is true, there’s always something to be said when you look at the mighty subculture and wonder. With More >

A Couple Of New Shows To Follow

Jan 23rd

Morning all,

Again, been a while but I’m back and loving it…

Anyways, I’ve been spending a lot of time lately trying to expand my repertoire of television shows and I think I’ve found a couple that are really interesting. Let’s be clear, I did not discover these shows by any means, but I’m a constant skeptic when it comes to television because, well, I’m a big snob. In any case, here are a couple of newbies that I think everyone should add to the queue.

First up is Sherlock. I’m not talking about the movie, I’m talking about the wonderful new(ish) BBC modernized More >

Sly Adds Yu Nan To Expendables 2

Who?

That’s cool, I had no idea who this person was until a few minutes ago… Quite an endorsement for my own detailed blog research huh? I digress.

Anyways, yesterday a few set photos from Expendables 2 rose from the depths revealing Chinese star Yu Nan on the side of Sly and the rest of his 80′s action hero gang. There aren’t a lot of details surrounding who exactly she’s playing, but she does hang out in black espionage gear and walks around with Sly Stallone. One can only assume she’s on the side of the good guys… for now. But back to the More >

Bridesmaids 2? Nope… But it might as well be

Morning all,

I’m sure a lot of you have seen (or at the very least plan to see) Bridesmaids. You know, the Kristin Wiig gem from last year about an ex-baker who’s BFF decides to get married. Not only was the cast spectacular, but it was just really good raw comedy. Anyways, there’s always been rumblings about doing a sequel, but come on… That’s really pushing it. Instead, it looks like most of the cast decided just to make this flick, Friends With Kids.

I’ve looked and although the casts are almost identical, these two flicks have nothing to do with each other. But come More >

All Stop On American Akira

Jan 9th

Posted by The Bloated Penguin in TV & Flicks

Morning all,

That spine tingling screeching sound you heard last week were the breaks being put on the North American remake of Akira… Again. Ok, let’s be honest with ourselves for a second here, this isn’t the first time, there’s tonnes of fan outcry to stop this and it just feels as though the North American Akira is the wrong thing to do. This has been “in the making,” for a few years now with some big names attached, then detached (Leo and Keannu), but once WB finally found a director it sounded as if they were on their way. It More >

Tiny People With Giant Feet… Again

Morning all,

Who out there has seen the trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey? I’m sure a lot already have, but I’ve embedded the trailer into this post just in case. Here’s my thing with The Hobbit: Timing. That’s it, no scathing words, no extremely strong opinions, pretty much just one word, and it’s timing. Don’t worry, I’ll explain.

The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Ultimate Edition was one of the hottest selling items on Boxing Day (I guess that’s only up here in Canada, but whatevs), and coincidently the trailer for The Hobbit was officially released around the same More >

Ghost Protocol: Worth The IMAX

Jan 4th

Hello again,

See, I told you I was going to post about Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. I’m not a liar, at least not completely.

Flat out worth the price of IMAX admission to see this flick on a larger screen. Not only was the one scene on the side of the building absolutely insane, the entire movie was really well assembled. I have to say, I’m shooting this to the top of my Mission Impossible list in terms of favourites. So now a little bit on what to expect from this flick when (not if, because you really should check this out in the More >
