Pacific Rim WonderCon Footage: Another Transformers?

Pacific Rim Takes Lessons from Michael Bay and Transformers

Pacific Rim has a decent premise. Gargantuan aliens known as Kaiju have invaded Earth, roaming the seas and they definitely prove to be more potent than any of mankind’s weapons of mass destruction. Humans have not raised the white flag, though. They’ve built an army of equally large robots (Jaegers) controlled by people through a neural bridge to fight these extraterrestrial species.

Movie Review


Gangster Squad features a group of hard-line police cops attempting to take down mob king Mickey Cohen, who in post-war America basically owns Los Angeles as if he were playing a game of monopoly. With corruption smearing the entire city, only a handful of honest policemen (Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi and Robert Patrick) would even consider taking on Goliath head on.

Starbuck: A French-Canadian Movie on Why Sperm Donation is a Horrible Idea

Starbuck: French-Canadian Film on a Guy's Life Decades After His Sperm Bank Visits

This film does involve cups, but instead of coffee it’s filled with something completely different from latte. In life, we all want to make some quick cash, just enough to maintain our lifestyles. That would be the case if we were rather unambitious. Starbuck features one such character named David Wozniak, played by Patrick Huard who is still working for his family butcher business after decades (ideal slacker). Yes, this is a French-Canadian comedy spoken in French, so you will need subtitles to understand the blabbering.  His life is about to change when his girlfriend announces her pregnancy, news that he greets rather well, surprisingly. But his irresponsible ways in the past are coming to bite his ass, really bad.

Megan Fox as April O'Neil in Ninja Turtles Movie

Megan Fox Reveals Red Hair for April O'Neil Role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie

Megan Fox has decided to set fire to her hair, deciding to go with a red color, not because of any personal predilection but due to her upcoming role as April O'Neil in Ninja Turtles, the upcoming 2014 movie which centers on the household favorites Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. April is a journalist who plays friend and occasional savior to the turtles, but people familiar with the franchise already know that. Rather than being a sequel to the previous installments, this film will be a reboot produced by Michael Bay, master of mass destruction.

Django Unchained Blu-ray Review: Another Addition to Quentin Tarantino's Masterpiece Movie Collection

Django Unchained (Two-Disc Combo Pack: Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + UltraViolet)

Movie Review

Django Unchained pays homage to the Western from the very get go. The opening presentation of Columbia Pictures, the display of the credits in stark red and the music itself transports you in a time machine back to the hay day of these movies. Even the camera angles and style of shooting is characteristic of the Western. Most notably this is seen when the shot zooms in swiftly on a character, Django himself, to highlight his reaction to another character’s retort. This was done to perfection with Samuel L. Jackson’s Stephen and Django, as Stephen takes a jab at Django for looking out to the fields where a woman is been taken in a wheel barrow. Don’t ask. Of course, Tarantino takes the odd detour from the conventional systems of the Western, when he plays a rap song as Django strides atop a horse, blending the music with some vintage guitar work to place the mood within the time period, in no way making it incongruous.
