New Movies This Week: Which Will You Go See? [August 27, 2010]

Posted: 27 Aug 2010 06:49 PM PDT



Which movie will you go see this weekend?

You know how you can tell that summer is winding down, my lovely geeks and geekettes? By looking at the movie section in the newspaper (I can hear some "What's that?" from the peanut gallery). All the summer movies have come, most have gone, and some have even made their way back into the theater.

And with Summer's end comes the movie studio's last ditch effort to grab at your few remaining dollars before we all wise up and decide we need the cash for our Na'vi Halloween costumes or the sure-to-be-made-available-for-Christmas Tron-themed X-Box 360.

So, have a look at what's in theaters this weekend and let's discuss, shall we? [...]

DVD Review: The Guild Season 3

The Guild
Season 3 DVD
Directed Sean Becker
Starring Felicia Day, Jeff Lewis
Release date: May 25, 2010

Are you a gamer? Have you ever played an M.M.O.R.P.G.? Do you like comedy? If you said yes to any of these questions, then The Guild is a show for you. This is one of my favorite shows and every time the DVDs come out, I buy them right away. The Guild: Season 1 DVD was no exception as I was extremely excited for this season, as much if not more than I was the first two seasons. As with Kevin Smith movies, the special features make it worth the price alone.

Basically, The Guild follows a group of World of Warcraft players, although it isn't referred to as that specifically it is meant to be that game, who form a guild and through the guild discuss their issues. Most of the time they don't realize that they are helping each other become less dysfunctional. All of them have a different personality and different social issues and they all need each other to call each other on their crap. This is the basics of the show as a whole [...]

Five Page Preview for Stan Lee’s New Comic ‘Soldier Zero’

Boom Studios: Stan Lees Soldier Zero #1 Preview Page, Cover version 4

BOOM! Studios and POW! Entertainment have sent us a five-page preview from Soldier Zero #1, the new comic created by comic legend Stan Lee.

Check out the five pages, as well as the various covers, here below.

Soldier Zero, written by Paul Cornell (Action Comics) with art by Javier Pina (Superman), will be out in November, and is available for pre-order now so if these pages look good to you, make sure you tell your comic book guy to hook you up.

Soldier Zero is about a normal college student named Stewart Travers and what happens when a parasite falls to Earth, transforming him into a weapon. It sounds like a combination of Spider-Man, Green Lantern, and about a million anime series, but with Cornell behind the typewriter, it could turn out to be a pretty decent series. And judging from these preview pages, the art is looking decent as well [...]

Albert Brooks To Channel Inner Mobster; Joins Ryan Gosling & Carey Mulligan In ‘Drive’

Posted: 27 Aug 2010 06:30 AM PDT



Albert Brooks is one of the most talented actors working today. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 1987's Broadcast News, and has made memorable performances in movies like Taxi Driver, Twilight Zone: The Movie (which haunted my childhood), and of course, my personal favorite, as Marlin the Clown Fish in Finding Nemo.

One thing Mr. Brooks hasn't done much of in his career so far is the "bad guy" character, but that all looks to soon change. It's being reported that Brooks has joined the cast of Drive, the new film from Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn. The movie is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by author James Sallis.

Drive stars fellow Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling as a stunt car driver who spends his nights working as a getaway driver and finds himself caught up in a sticky situation. Brooks will play a feared mobster named Bernie Rose, who hails from New York but now does his work in Los Angeles. The movie also stars Oscar nominated An Education actress Carey Mulligan and Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston. [...]
