Bob Hoskins, Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard & Toby Jones Cast As Dwarfs In ‘Snow White And The Huntsman’

Posted: 21 Jun 2011 08:37 PM PDT



When looking at the multiple Snow White projects in the works, one might assume that not all of the seven dwarf roles would be filled with a known actor. One or two, maybe, but all seven? Pretty doubtful. But one project looks to be trying to prove that assumption wrong with the announcement of six possible well–known and respected actors taking on dwarf characters.

This particular Snow White project seems to be the biggest of them all (thus far, anyway), and is called Snow White and the Huntsman. The movie already has its stars locked up with The Twilight Saga's Kristen Stewart set for the lead, a princess who escapes her evil queen of a stepmother (played by Charlize Theron) with a huntsman who was sent to kill her but ends up joining her and seven dwarven warriors, and training her how to fight instead. The huntsman is will be played by Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.

Which brings us back to the seven dwarfs, who sound like they'll pass up on being lovable little workers and instead be ready for battle. [...]

Blu-ray Review: Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology

Superman Blu-ray Anthology

Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology
Blu-ray
Starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey
Release date: June 7, 2011

With all the superhero movies that have been made over the last few decades, the first Superman movie is still by far my favorite. Based on the DC Comics character, the 1978 film was the superhero film for all ages, not just children and set the bar for all comic book movies to follow.

Now, all four original films, which starred Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel, along with the 2006 sequel/reboot hybrid Superman Returns starring Brandon Routh, are now collected in high definition in Warner Home Video's new offering Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology Blu-ray Edition [...]

Must Watch: Live–Action ‘L.A. Noire’ Shows Cole Phelps May Not Be The Best Detective

Posted: 21 Jun 2011 01:17 PM PDT



An amusing new video has hit Funny or Die for those of you who played the recent Rockstar Games and Team Bondi release, L.A. Noire (Read: Game Review: L.A. Noire).

The video shows us what the popular game—which takes place in 1940s Los Angeles as a WWII vet named Cole Phelps works his way up the LAPD ranks by showing off his keen eye for details and his ability to solve tough cases—might look like if it existed in real life.

The video exaggerates some of the things you find yourself doing often in the game, which is what makes it so humorous. Though I must question the jab about running over pedestrians at the end of the video—anyone who's played knows that every person in '40s L.A. was a ninja, and almost always finds a way to inexplicably avoid death by vehicle.

New ‘Star Trek’ Cast Gets A New Comic From IDW

Posted: 21 Jun 2011 11:50 AM PDT



2009's Star Trek movie breathed new life into a franchise that had been floundering for a few years, and now many Trek fans are eagerly awaiting the next film.

In the meantime, IDW Publishing will release a new comic book series featuring the new versions of the classic crew. Star Trek #1 comes out in September and will feature stories that re-imagine episodes of the original television series, as well as tell new stories. The series will be under the creative control of Star Trek writer/producer Roberto Orci, and will be written by Mike Johnson with art by Stephen Molnar, and covers by Tim Bradstreet and David Messina.

The series will start with a re-imagined version of the second Star Trek: TOS pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and will go from there to expand the universe of the new movie timeline. Talking about the series, Orci said, "Movies cost money. Lots and lots of money, but comics give us unlimited budgets to take the crew of the Enterprise farther than they've ever been. Join us!"

Young ‘Doctor Who’ Fan Recites Matt Smith’s Pandorica Monologue For Kindergarten Talent Show

The Pandorica Opens

I'm going to post this with as little commentary as possible, for the video really truly does speak for itself. What you have at the bottom of this post, dear Geeks of Doom readers, is Matt Smith's monologue from the Doctor Who episode, The Pandorica Opens. It is performed by a young kindergartener. Yes, you read that correctly.

This little dude has better control of memorizing the lines from Doctor Who than I do, and he does it very well.

And for bonus points, he's dressed up in costume as the Eleventh Doctor as well - complete with bow tie! Believe me, you'll want to share this one with your friends who are fellow Doctor Who fans.

Check it out! [...]
