Wall-E, A Review In Brief.

This past Friday night, I had the fantastic opportunity to take in the latest film from Pixar, Wall-E.

2 hours later, my jaw was dropped, my heart a flutter, and I was in awe of the latest creation from the talented team in Cupertino.

To say this is their grand opus would be an understatement.  I honestly believe this is the best Pixar creation thus far (my sentimental favorite remains The Incredibles, but this could change over time), and it leaves you amazed by it’s seamless mix of beautiful animation, an amazing score, well planned plotting, and thought provoking plot.

I know we’re just weeks from what some people are calling the “Godfather II of Comic Book Films” in The Dark Knight, but I honestly have no idea if any movie this year will be able to touch the tale of a robot with one flaw…a personality.

Highest possible recommendation. See it. Now.

Bond Is Back!

That’s right, the first trailer for the 2nd Daniel Craig Bond flick hit the web today…

…so without further adieu, enjoy the first peek at Quantum of Soliace!

Oooh. Looks good. Considering how much I loved Casino Royale, I am amped for this!

Is Hall Next?

This is the strangest story I’ve ever read.

So much so, that I had to read, and RE-READ the story, then check the calendar to make sure today wasn’t April 1st.

I give you….J-STACHE, the animated adventures of John Oates and his mustache!

Seriously.

Here’s just a sampling of a plot…

It will portray Oates opening a new wing of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that focuses on mustachioed musicians.

Suddenly, a dying David Crosby appears and with his last breath warns Oates of a mysterious secret group of mustache wearers bent on killing other mustache wearers. As actor Tom Selleck attempts to escape from the latest murder scene, Oates summons his own mustache with a fist pump that simultaneously changes his clothes from conservative attire to pink pants and white boots.

Check out the story over at Billboard.com for the full details, but seriously…WHAT THE HELL?

I don’t know about you, but I sure love the idea of the government approving things based on badassness…


Supreme Court Rules Death Penalty Is ‘Totally Badass’

Podcast Party!

Get ready for an hour of fun with myself, Nick, and our special guest, Ms. Jamie Baldwin.

Lock and load, it’s a wacky one!

Click here for this week’s podcast.

You may remember during the writers strike about how everyone’s favorite sci-fi writer Joss Whedon was working on a internet-only musical series, entitled Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.

Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and the adorable Felicia Day (good last name, that), the first trailer has hit the web, and I’ve got it for ya below. Enjoy!

GI Joe’s Got Itself A Subtitle!

Straight from the Cinema EXPO in Amsterdam, it’s a brand new poster for GI Joe….

We’ll probably see a whole series of these spotlighting individual characters, but now we know the full title of the flick is…GI JOE: RISE OF COBRA.

I suppose that explains the lack of Cobra Commander so far…and probably indicates that a franchise is coming (surprise, surprise).

Proving Frank Miller is pushing his range for his adaptation of the Wil Eisner classic The Spirit, these 4 new posters showcase the femme fatales of the film…in Black, White and Red.

…Not at all a Sin City redux, OH NO!

*sigh*  I continue to remain pessimistic about this project, but the image of Scarlett Johannson in Cat Eye glasses kinda makes my man parts all gooey.  (The other ladies showcased are Eva Mendes as Sand Saref, Sarah Paulson as Dr. Ellen Dolan and Jaime King as Lorilei Rox). I’ll say this though.  Having seen a trailer for this flick with The Incredible Hulk last week, the general public doesn’t give a damn about this movie.  Even Hellboy II got more recognition.  You’ve got your work cut out for you, Lion’s Gate!

If you want higher-rez versions of these posters (and for them to talk to you as you scroll over them), check out Yahoo!Movies right now!
