Honky dory TAB

Just the start at least. Just switch Luigi with the female character =D

all in all this looks to be a rathers sweet and real movie about the weird thing that we call love and how infatuated we get with it. It dosent throw famous hollywood actors, and special slapstick moments in our face but more a pure, fun and charming movie.

Ohh the french!

The film, based of Bernard Lenteric’s novel of the same name (French title: La nuit des enfants rois) centers around a group of gifted teenagers whose past traumas cause them to wreak havoc against the world, and the one person capable of putting a stop to their revenge.


Synopsis : "When we're together the world will be our thank you. This will be the night, the long Prodigies ... "

They are five, living across the United States. Five geniuses, adolescents with an intelligence capable of handling the incredible mind of others. Jaffar has Jimbo same abilities and looks like its always been. Through the multinational his adoptive father, Killianetworks, Jimbo finally managed to find them and bring them together. When children are victims of a violent assault in Central Park begins for the five gifted a new era of violence and revenge. The era of Prodigies. Then comes the time for Jimbo to choose: the stability of the adult world, or the destructive rage that has never really left since adolescence...

While not as detailed or polished as modern CGI productions, the cell-shaded/previz look has a unique style and is among the key elements that has me so pumped to check out the finished film. The animation and shear energy in the cinematography also helps also. I for once love a different style and who better to do this then the french ;)

This is the first feature from Antoine Charreyron, who perviosly directed games such as "Wet" (Eliza Dushku) and Wheelman (Vin Diesel), both over-the-top action video games

Seriously. It looks like Killer 7 meets Inception on acid. How can you not love that?

One of my very first RTS games was Shogun from Creative Assembly. I loved that game and played it to death! The other ones after (rome/napoleon) just couldest reach up to the excellence to the shogun, this coupled with my deep interest in the style/battle tactis and mentality of the asian battlefields made me skip the other ones from CA.. And so it stayed until this year when they released that they would make Shogun 2



CG shorts are interesting and sets the tone well for the series (despite the cliche action/battle story, which also looks speed up at moments?) and I cannot wait until the gameplay videos starts rolling in

"A boxing drama set in the near-future where 2,000-pound robots that look like humans do battle. Based on the highly popular kids game" Director: Shawn Levy, Stars: Hugh Jackman, Kevin Durand and Evangeline Lilly



What do you think? The Raging Bull of the 20th century? Im not at all interested in the premise. This is based on the "rock-em-sock-em" game that I've never played..



I hope that they treat the robots as real characters.. Just hope they don't go the transformes way ("Whats cracking... this seem to look like a fine planet to kick it")

I`le be fine with the robots being really simple and naive. Thought the training sequence was nais though. Hoping for more of that

Check out the first release from the new TRON sound track, "Derezzed."




Tron: Daft Punk Music Montage

Trailer Park Movies | Myspace Video


Amazingly I dident love this song immediately which is kinda odd since I swallowed almost everything else that they`ve given me =D

Took a couple of repeats for it to sneak under my skin. Its still not on par with the other stuff they`ve made for the movie (I know, Ive bookmarked the songs on youtube =D) but this is also more like the way Daft Punk scoring a Tron movie would sound like I guess

Im going to the sneak peak extravaganza the suits call "Tron day" Similar to Avatar, they are going to show 23 min of footage from the upcoming movie. I sadly don't really care for the story or characters in this one. Im all in for the effects and having a good time at the cinemas. (Looking forward to watch a real 3d movie for once.. Not this up-converted crap)

The original Tron was the one to really push me into working within the CG business and is still one of my beloved, yet flawed movie that I always can curl up with after a long day or on a rainy afternoon.

The old one live on sheer nostalgic feel, the fast editing and what people thought computers looked like inside. Its was really a original tale when it first came out and had the likes of Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, David Warner, Cindy Morgan to back up the light yet warm story elements..

Its light-cycle race is still, to this date, something people still recall as a genuine fun and immersive memory.. I wonder if they are even going to try and top that in the new one. I hope not, but the marketing and hollywood sense says otherwise

The new one looks to have been thoroughally upgraded into the dark and slick and the more flamboyant "reloaded" style.. Which I don't mind at all. If the rest is good that's a plus.

I've decided a long time ago that I will love this no matter what anyhoo =)

You likely have never heard the name, "Romain-Gavras", but if you took in the arduous 9-minutes of M.I.A's "Born Free" video, unbeknownst to you, you have!

He's the son of French political filmaker, Costa-Gavras (Z and Missing), and has been creating a reputation of being a raw, shocking and intense filmaker, with videos like Justice's "Stess", and now, a feature film that also looks rather hard to stomach at moments.

His first film, Notre Jour Vienda (Our Day Will Come), stars Vincent Cassel and Olivier Barthelemy, and is the story of a teen who leaves Ireland after being a victim of abuse. The trailer doesn't do much for the narrative, although it does give you an insight into his style and the magnitude of the film's potential vigor.

The theatrical release is slated for September 15th, 2010.

It looks alright. I want to go see this sorely for the Klatu looking destroyer at the end there. That and how much this is not the Nordic Thor that most Scandinavians now and love.

The action and framing looks decent. Not mind-blowing but ok. There is a bit of slightly tilted framing going on in Asgard that looks interesting (every thing slightly tilted automatically gets a thumb up from me)

There is something about their costumes/weapons weight that bugs me. Its meant to look heavy and hard to weld and since these are gods, its there for supposed to be easy for them and their movements aren't really hindered by it but it looks to cheap. They should have added some weight to it for feel and context. Then again, it might be the editing of the trailer and we see stuff out of context. Time will show.

For now, it looks ok. I do love that this is a five minute trailer and not a 01:30 trailer like the rest but this is also leaked from the comicon 2010 somehow.

It's been a long couple of years now since we first heard that Eric Powell's great monster/mobster comic THE GOON was becoming a feature film, courtesy of producer David Fincher (FIGHT CLUB, etc.) and FX company Blur Studios. So it's nice to see the project is still slowly coming to computer-rendered life. The Dark Horse comic revolves around a creature-punching mob enforcer and his mouthy buddy, and their misadventures in a bizarre monster-filled town.

So I'm currently trying to stay away from any word of mouth on "Inception" as Im going to see it later today and the less I know the better. Ive seen the teaser trailer, but avoided the official one. So much so that I litterly stuck my head down in the popcorn bag while on the screening for Prince of Percia. I've been warming up with re-watching Memento (one of my favourite movies) and The Prestige (also just amazing in its own terms) and rented both the Norwegian film Insomnia and Nolan's remake as I'm sure Ile be wanting more after tonights premiere.

In my search of finding more about the works of the director ,I came upon a short he did 12-13 years ago. The style is familiar, and as much as the premise is more high concept, the action is bad. Never the less. It does the job. The short film, titled Doodlebug, was made in 1997, and stars Jeremy Theobald who also starred in Nolan’s debut feature "Following" (which is going to be released later this year)

I think you’ll readily identify themes that run throughout much of Nolan’s later work. Notably, matters of being, paranoia, the dark nature of the material etc.

Oh man, I have been just aking for this movie... and it looks good!



Also Jeff bridges have been "cg-ifid" since this is a fully fledged sequel from the 1982 one. Here we see Bridges avatar "CLU" as older and more threatening version..

Trailer from the upcoming Tekken movie.. Great! Wait, why is Jin Kazuma white? Noooo!

Love the plot: Set in 2039, the film promises non-stop high flying action as the greatest fighters from around the world come to compete in the last and greatest sporting event of all time – the Fist Tournament. After World Wars destroy much of civilization as we know it, the remaining territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations the mightiest of which is Tekken. In order to keep the masses down, Tekken sponsors the Iron Fist Tournament in which fighters compete to the death for ultimate glory and receive a lifetime of stardom and wealth.



Ohh well, at least it cant be worse the Dragonball Z, DOA and Street fighter Chun Li? Right...? RIGHT?!?!

Now I dont really care for MMO`s but this is really a good idea! Its stacked full of charm (if you played any of the old Lego games and IF the game doesn't get toned down or anything) and its got every possible scenario ever conceived as shown in the trailer. Western, Middleages, Fantasy, Pirates even Space! How are they going to top this?



It also makes the updates quite easy since its just adding more bits of pieces! haha Get it.. BITS of pieces... Ohh lord.. hmm.. ok Ile stop now =P

As you can see, this is not your fathers Hood! Director Ridley Scott re-teams with his "muse" Russell Crowe, and throws in Cate Blanchett into the mix for a little something different in this drastic retelling of the classic tale. The first poster is here and yeah, it really stands out from the old ones!







See? Its different.. Its flipped and more blue! and.. and no arrowhead!

I actually saw the first one.. but gosh darn it, if I don't remember a thing from it! Anyhoo.. thanks too superior 3d effects and semi-famous actors taking on shitty jobs, here is the sequel.



Hmm.. I was going to say that, animation films (2d disney/dreamworks) are the only genre that should be allowed to do these kinds of movies but then again.. I did enjoy the heck out of GFORCE!

Patton Oswald (king of queens) is a great stand-up comedian. He`s got extremely good timing and is like me, a bit of a nerd. I would highly recommend that you seek out his shows. Here he is talking about his least favorite song of the holidays:

From Jason Reitman, (Thank you for smoking and Juno) comes a trailer for his next project starring George Clooney. Clooney stars as Ryan Bingham, “a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and just after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.” Despite what the official studio released plot synopsis might lead you to believe, this film is not exactly a romantic comedy, it is much more.

Last week I saw "Thank you for smoking" for the first time and I was blown away! Its all character driven which I like, but the characters are also so defined, yet loose and cool. Starring Aaron Eckhart as a "spinner" (basicly extremly sharp, and crafty and its his sole job to spin the truth) that represents the tobacco industry as well as being a good father to his son. It exposes the hypocracy that the society needs to make bad things, more palatable.

Paramount Pictures has provided /Film with the exclusive premiere of the first teaser trailer for Up in the Air, which is an alternative cut created by Reitman specifically for the internet. The teaser is based around a speech that Bingham gives at motivational speaking gigs. It’s a very Fight Club-esque philosophy — that the things you own, and the relationships you carry, end up owning you and weighing you down. (With a hint of "American Psycho" objectisme), and this is the key philosophy of Ryan Bingham, who lives his life traveling around the world, free of relationships, family or compromises. source /Film.com

Watch the trailer in High Definition here: 480p and 720

Up in the Air is currently scheduled to hit theaters on December 4th 2009.

The trailer for the newest instalment after the amazing Tron movie released by Disney in 1982 is now finaly here!. The movie did fenomenal at the box office`s in 82 as it took movie-goers into the very heart of computers as we followed lovable arcade game champion and dorky self proclaimed ubernerd Kevin Flynn (Played by Jeff Bridges) inside the electric gladiator ring as he was tricked by the movie villian "Master Control Program". He now must battle his way to find a way out again. The movie also helped a rather small effects company called "ILM" to be the most profitable CG Companys in the world, toutching every movie that comes out of America and England as it was the first movie ever too have entire 3d generated shots in a feature movie, putting it firmely in the books about CG history.


The trail has been cold after small-talk in Hollywood about a reboot or prequel but atlas Disney said "Screw it" and greenlight a fully fledged sequel with most of the cast from the first one reappering and hiring ILM once again to create some mind boggeling effects and once again capture the heart of millions of nerds. Lets just hope it dosent end up as Wargames 2 did.. direct to dvd with no charm or fun

The company produced this "teaser" a year ago and it was first show to a unsuspecting crowd at Comicon, and is now presented in HD as the official trailer for the movie which is due in summer 2010.


Plot:
Sam Flynn, the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.



The score for this movie is going to be done by none other then Daft Punk!

Que Nerdgazm...!

The trailer/teaser looks incredible and is 100% (last years) CG all exept jeff bridges scene offcourse and as almost everything ILM produces its mindblowingly awesome! Im going to be in Tron rush for a year now at least.

Fun fact: Back in the realy 80`s, it was so resource-demaning to work with 3d at that time, that the animators and modelers had to work in wireframe and moving the objects by punching in the X,Y and Z numbers to then wait a couple of hours just to see the shaded view inside the program. THEN it had to be renderd out

Watch the trailer in high definition on Yahoo. The rumored Flaming Lips song does not appear, but I can certainly tell you Arcade Fire’s Wake Up gets another airing. That song will probably now be forever associated with Wild Things in the way Mr. Blue Sky is eternally Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
