Commercial Break: Thundercats Movie Was Bound For Fail

 

With as much crap Hollywood produces, it's surprising what -- even they, won't allow for human consumption. Above we see a well animated trailer of a young Lion-O versus Slithe. You're probably thinking to yourself, "Self, where the f**k are the rest of the Thundercats?!" To this I say, you know how much Hollywood loves placating the growing, nerd-man childs of this generation?

How many origin stories have we sat through? Plenty of weak plots all so we can be bilked out of more money from movies that will eventually squeeze the last bit of blood from an uninspired stone [yes, stones can be inspired]. But hey, thanks Hollywood for not pooping out another cinematic turd...

 

Wait, its going to be a television show? Damn.

The Brog's Best Of 2010: Short Film - Uira Lamour's "Time Warp"

Exercising a fine hand with CG animation. Uira Lamour's portfolio-building project. Truthfully, I did just make this category up and had no clue as to what or whom I'd nominate for 'Short Film' nominee's, but I've seen a lot of video on the web this year and Uira is definitely in a class of his own.

Commercial Break: Magic Vagina Bubbles

It would seem that I've been hitting you guys with a lot of heavy articles and even I'd have to admit, that I've gone full-blown nerd as of late. So, take this particular commercial break as either a piece offering and derailment of my writing milieu, or me digging myself into a further whole -- of which I couldn't possibly dig out of.

Resident Evil Afterlife: Review -- "Fans Of The Genre..."

 Even Milla's beautiful skin and limitless ammo could not save us from such a debacle of a film.


Striking cinematography, broad characters, Matrix-esque fight scenes supplied by a soundtrack weirder than a giant man carrying an ax-mallet, this is what the Resident Evil film franchise has been reduced to. I struggled with this review. Usually watching a movie I know in my heart and colon to be, at best, a junk food movie and at worst, cataract inducing -- its pretty cut and dry. The new Resident Evil movie hurts more than it helps videogame-to-movie adaptation gain some form of credulity. I avoid certain phrases in a lot in my game reviews and one of the contributing factors as to why scribbling these words [via keyboard] was more vexing was because I wanted to avoid the term, “Fans of the genre.”
