New Look At Robert Pattinson In David Cronenberg’s ‘Cosmopolis’ Posted: 08 Nov 2011 08:58 PM PST Never let it be said that David Cronenberg isn't a prolific guy. With A Dangerous Method yet to even hit theaters, the director is nearing completion on his next film, Cosmopolis, and we are now seeing what may come of that. A set of new photos has been released from the film, featuring both Robert Pattinson and Sarah Gadon, the pair who make up the husband/wife duo set at the center of the film [...]

Free ‘Total Recall’ MMO Promises Console Graphics, Fully Browser-Based Gameplay Posted: 08 Nov 2011 08:04 PM PST In what can be considered to be quite the ambitious project, SEE Games has announced that they have partnered with Chinese online gaming company ZQGame to create a new MMO based on Columbia Pictures' upcoming Total Recall remake starring Colin Farrell. Th ambitious part comes in the promise that the MMO (massively multiplayer online) game will be free-to-play, and that it will be made on a specially designed engine allowing for a full-on 3D browser-based experience that's able to present console-level graphics, characters, and environments with NO need for a client download.

‘Batman Dies At Dawn’ Preview Pages Look Amazing Posted: 08 Nov 2011 07:30 PM PST DC Comics posted a few preview pages on their official site of the upcoming The All New Batman: The Brave and The Bold #13. And it looks like it could be the greatest comic of the year. You see folks, I'm a bit of Batman fan. And as a fan of The Bat, I don't just have a love for what some consider to be the sole protector of Gotham City. Of course I don't, I love all of Bat family. Huntress, Batwoman, Nightwing, Batgirl, all of the them. And the most obvious member of the Bat Clan is Robin, but what a lot of non-comic obsessed folks might not know is that there has been more than one Robin. In fact, there have been several. And with the release of The All New Batman: The Brave and The Bold #13 brings all of the Robins from the past, present, and future to one comic. And that is the greatest thing [...]

Comic Review: The Rinse #3 Posted: 08 Nov 2011 06:58 PM PST The Rinse #3 Written by Gary Phillips Art by Marc Laming Colors by Darrin Moore Letters by Steve Wands Cover by Paul Azaceta, Jordie Bellaire BOOM!

Preview The Pages Of ‘Locke And Key: Guide To The Known Keys’ Posted: 08 Nov 2011 06:06 PM PST Every week of the year, new comic books hit store shelves and digital store fronts. Some of those comics have been going on for a while, and some of them haven't. One of the comics that has, however, is Locke and Key>. Written by Joe Hill with art by Gabriel Rodriguez, Locke and Key is probably my favorite comic being published today. But the only problem with the comic having gone on for as long as it has is that, well, it's not very friendly to new readers. And even those readers who've been there since day one might get a little off track by the different parts of the Locke and Key mythology. And oh my goodness! There are so many keys! How can we decipher between them!? Well friends, IDW Publishing has got you covered. This Wednesday, IDW and Locke and Key will be releasing a one-shot comic entitled Locke and Key: Guide To The Known Keys [...]

Blu-ray Review: Jurassic Park Trilogy Posted: 08 Nov 2011 05:00 PM PST Jurassic Park Trilogy DVD | Blu-Ray | Blu-ray Gift Set Directed by Steven Spielberg, Joe Johnston Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite Universal Studios Home Entertainment Release Date: October 25, 2011 When attempting to look critically at a piece of cinema like the Jurassic Park franchise, particularly the feature that started it off, a person from this writer's generation must not only judge the features on singular scales of quality, but must also get past one huge roadblock: nostalgia. I don't know how many people who will read this are in a similar boat, but the Jurassic Park franchise is one of the first true-blue cinematic experience of this generation. Coming out in 1993, Jurassic Park played as the first real memorable cinematic experience for this generation, imprinting an eye of grandeur and spectacle on a group of people, so much so that the repercussions are still being felt today. Hell, it's also a genuinely fantastic feature film [...]

Comic Review: Sketch Monsters: Book 1: Escape of the Scribbles Posted: 08 Nov 2011 04:00 PM PST Sketch Monsters, Book 1: Escape of the Scribbles Written by Joshua Williamson Art by Vicente "Vinny" Navarrete Book Design by Keith Wood Oni Press Release date: October 26, 2011 Cover Price: $12.99 Eight-year-old Mandy isn't a big fan of expressing her feelings and emotions. Instead, she prefers to draw her emotions as monsters in her sketchbook. One day, the monsters escape from her sketchbook and the only help she has to catch them is a monster named Happster. Sketch Monsters: Escape of the Scribbles was a very enjoyable all-ages book. The theme of the book deals with expressing your emotions instead of keeping them bottled up inside. This theme is a good one to teach children and expresses a good life lesson. The book deals with an 8-year old-girl who doesn't express her emotions well and essentially shuts her feelings off. Her only release is drawing her emotions as different monsters. I had a lot of fun reading this particular book. It's a good read for children as well as adults [...]

Comics Scribe Brian K. Vaughan Adapting Stephen King’s ‘Under the Dome’ Posted: 08 Nov 2011 03:00 PM PST Back in August Showtime announced that they would be airing a new dramatic series produced by Dreamworks Television based on Under the Dome, Stephen King's epic novel about the citizens of a Maine vacation hamlet forced to do battle with supernatural forces when their town becomes enclosed by a mysterious dome. Now comes the news that comic book writer and Lost scribe Brian K. Vaughan has been hired to adapt the novel for the small screen [...]

Marvel Starts Digital Relationship With Barnes and Noble Posted: 08 Nov 2011 02:00 PM PST Marvel Comics announced this week that the popular comics company would be bringing collected digital editions of their line of graphic novels to both the upcoming Barnes and Noble Nook tablet, as well as the Nook Color. With the release of Barnes and Noble's Nook tablet hitting stores (and digital storefronts) next week, considering the success of digital comics, it was only a matter of time before we heard some news regarding comics on the device. Do you remember when DC Comics took their digital collections exclusively to Amazon's Kindle line, and then how Barnes and Noble got all mad that they didn't get to play with DC's toys? Well, it looks like Marvel has stepped in to fill the hole in Barnes and Noble's heart [...]

Comic Review: Star Trek – Legion of Super-Heroes #2 Posted: 08 Nov 2011 01:05 PM PST Star Trek – Legion of Super-Heroes #2 Written by Chris Roberson Pencils by Jeffrey Moy Inks by Philip Moy Colors by Romulo Fajardo, Jr. Covers by Phil Jimenez, Steve Lightle, Gabriel Rodriguez IDW Publishing Release Date: November 9th, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 In this second issue of Star Trek Legion of Super-Heroes, the story is primarily the characters figuring out just WHAT is wrong with their situations. While the first issue was mostly setting up the characters -- who they were, where they come from, what there motivation is -- this issue delves deeper into the story about just why things are the was they are. Writer Chris Roberson does a fantastic job on characterization again in this issue. I'm a bigger Star Trek fan than Legion fan, but he doesn't make the Legion characters seem at all foreign to me. [...]

Comic Review: The Occultist #1 Posted: 08 Nov 2011 12:00 PM PST The Occultist #1 Story by Mike Richardson, Tim Seeley Script by Tim Seeley Art by Victor Drujiniu Colors by Andrew Dalhouse Letters by Nate Piekos of Blambot Designer: Justin Couch Created by Mike Richardson Covers by Steve Morris, Jenny Frison Dark Horse Comics Release Date: November 9th, 2011 Cover Price: $3.50 The Occultist is one of those comics that has something for everyone. Horror, magic, mystery, and most importantly, hot girls. Everybody wins! I hadn't read the previous Occultist one-shot, but I was very impressed with this issue. What I liked most about this The Occultist #1 is writer Tim Seeley's ability to catch the audience up on what has happened previously with the character without talking down to them or wasting pages recapping last year's one-shot. This book is all over the place and it's a really fun read. We get not only plenty of time with the main character and his story, we also get a good amount of time with the villains and supporting cast and find out their motivations [...]

Comic Review: Twilight of the Gods #0 Posted: 08 Nov 2011 11:00 AM PST Twilight of the Gods #0 Plot/Script by Aaron Stueve Pencils by Oscar Bazaldua, President Nelson, Joel Rasmuessen, Gregg Paulsen Inks by Oscar Bazaldua, Luis Alonzo, Victor Moyo Colors by Ryan Vera Letters & Production by George E. Warner Bluewater Comics Release Date: November 9, 2011 Cover Price: $1.00 Twilight of the Gods #0 is the beginning of what appears to be a new start for Bluewater Comics. Based entirely around the Greek pantheon of gods, it portrays them as being dependent upon mankind for survival. If people cease to believe, the gods cease to exist. I've seen this premise before, but there was just enough originality to it so that I wasn't completely turned off [...]
