| Really Brief First Footage Of ‘Snow White And The Huntsman’ Posted: 09 Nov 2011 09:01 PM PST Love horribly tritevoice overs? How about almost unwatchable grainy, recorded from TV YouTube videos? A fan of Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, or Snow White? Than this is your favorite story. Ever. Thanks to ET (via Collider), we have our first brief look at footage from the upcoming Stewart-starring film, Snow White And The Huntsman, and [...]      |
| Want To Feel Like A Miracle? Check Out This Infographic Of The Odds That Any Of Us Exist Posted: 09 Nov 2011 08:01 PM PST  We don't often veer off the path of entertainment-related content here at Geeks of Doom, but every now and again you see something that boggles the mind and must be shared with the masses. Today comes a new infographic that basically proves that the odds of we as human beings existing is pretty much zero. Author Ali Binazir put together the numbers---odds of our many ancestors keeping the line going, of our parents meeting, of the sperm that would become us infusing itself with one of our mother's eggs---and the digits that resulted are astronomical in size. Will Hunting would weep at the brain-melting size of these numbers [...]      |
| 3D Blu-ray Review: Meet The Robinsons Posted: 09 Nov 2011 06:43 PM PST  Meet The Robinsons 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack Directed by Stephen Anderson Starring Daniel Hansen, Wesley Singerman, Angela Bassett, Jordan Fry Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment Release Date: November 8, 2011 Okay, I'll be honest. I have a special place in my heart for this film. It was the very first theatrical experience for my youngest daughter, Vivienne. So when I found out that this 3D Blu-ray pack for Meet The Robinsons was available for review, I literally jumped at it. I had originally purchased this movie on DVD for the kids to rewatch, but after seeing it in Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D, it was like seeing a whole new movie! The difference between DVD and Blu-ray is quite obvious to any videophile. But somehow, this took it to a whole new level. It has more 3D action and a far crisper rendering than anything I have seen from an animated film before. It is, by far, the best reissue of a kid's film I have ever witnessed...and my family owns a LOT of kids films in multiple formats [...]      |
| Comic Review: Hellboy: House of the Living Dead Posted: 09 Nov 2011 06:17 PM PST  Hellboy: House of the Living Dead Story by Mike Mignola Art by Richard Corben Colors by Dave Stewart Dark Horse Comics Release Date: November 9, 2011 Cover Price: $14.99 It seems like Mike Mignola and artist Richard Corben had one plan for their recent collaboration on Hellboy: House of the Living Dead. Pack the graphic novel with as many classic horror monsters as possible then have Hellboy beat them to a bloody pulp. Congratulations guys, mission accomplished, they were all there in a manner of speaking, vampires, monsters, ghosts, and let's not forget Hellboy, kicking in all their skulls. Mignola expresses his affections towards classic B horror movies in his introduction and proceeds to craft a love letter to them through Hellboy: House of the Living Dead, a love letter written in the blood of several unfortunate ghouls [...]      |
| Australian Trailer For ‘The Lorax’ Hits Posted: 09 Nov 2011 05:28 PM PST  To say that the first trailer for Fox's upcoming adaptation of The Lorax was impressive is putting it lightly. With the Despicable Me team of Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda behind the project, the upcoming animated flick looks like an absolute charmer, and something to make the month of March, 2012, all the more interesting. And now, we have even more to back that thought. The Australian trailer for the film has been released, and it looks mighty fine [...]      |
| Comic Review: Doctor Who, Vol. II #11 Posted: 09 Nov 2011 03:55 PM PST  Doctor Who Volume II: Issue #11 Written by Tony Lee Art by Matthew Dow Smith Colors by Charlie Kirchoff Lettering by Shawn Lee Covers by Mark Buckingham, Charlie Kirchoff, and Matthew Dow Smith IDW Publishing Release Date: November 9, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 "I'm a woman now: women are cool..." Many decades ago, the concept of swapping the minds of two characters became a very clichéd plot device. Used across the genres of horror and science fiction, the device eventually found its way into more family friendly media such as Freaky Friday, and has even been used in a few of our favorite Looney Tunes cartoons in years gone by. Doctor Who Volume II #11 (and its predecessor, #10) takes on this plot device, and though clichéd as it is, it fits nicely into the Whoniverse [...]      |
| Brett Ratner Looking to Remake 1980s Teen Sex Comedy ‘The Last American Virgin’ Posted: 09 Nov 2011 03:10 PM PST  Brett Ratner hasn't exactly been having the best of weeks so far: his highly-hyped comedy Tower Heist opened in second place at the box office and he recently stepped down as producer of next year's Oscar telecast following use of an anti-gay slur at a screening of his movie over the weekend. Never one to let failure get him down (because if he did he would have fled Hollywood long ago), Ratner has turned his attention to a slew of film projects including a new movie with his Tower Heist star Eddie Murphy, a spy drama entitled Hunting Eichmann, and most tantalizing a remake of the 1982 cult classic teen comedy The Last American Virgin. Ratner briefly discussed his plans to remake The Last American Virgin during his interview Monday on Howard Stern's radio show. You can listen to that part of the interview here below [...]      |
| Comic Review: House of Night #1 Posted: 09 Nov 2011 02:12 PM PST  House of Night #1 Written by P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast, Kent Dalian Art by Joëlle Jones, Karl Kerschl Covers by Jenny Frison, Steve Morris Dark Horse Comics Release Date: November 9, 2011 Cover Price: $2.99 Imagine my surprise when I started reading this comic, one that I chose on a whim, and found it's based on a young adult book series that I used to sell tons of during the last few years my bookstore was open. Now imagine my further surprise when I realized that I liked it! It's got its quirks, but House of Night #1 is a pretty fun read. Now, I went into this knowing exactly zilch about the books, so no preconceived notions about the characters or setting. Add to that the fact that there is absolutely no back story or prologue and you have a blank slate on which to create this series. P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast were familiar to me, but Kent Dalian is someone I didn't know [...]      |
| Stephen King’s ‘Rose Madder’ Getting The Big Screen Treatment Next Posted: 09 Nov 2011 01:00 PM PST  Hollywood will never get tired of exploiting the works of author Stephen King, but in recent months there's been a great resurgence of interest in turning his novels into film and television properties. First Jonathan Demme, the Oscar-winning director of The Silence of the Lambs, options King's newest novel 11/22/63 as a potential feature film. Then Warner Bros. begins developing the author's epic horror-fantasy The Stand into a big-screen adaptation with Ben Affleck possibly calling the shots behind the camera. Most recently came the news that King's 2009 supernatural horror novel Under the Dome was being turned into an original drama series at Showtime with acclaimed Lost writer and comics scribe Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man) writing the adaptation. Now King's 1996 fantasy novel Rose Madder has become his latest work to be earmarked for the celluloid treatment [...]      |
| Comic Review: Troy Duffy’s Boondock Saints: In Nomine Patris Posted: 09 Nov 2011 12:30 PM PST  Boondock Saints: In Nomine Patris Written by Troy Duffy and J.B. Love Art by Guus Floor Letters by Innfusion Studios Covers by Chris Brunner 12 Gauge Comics Release Date: November 9, 2011 Cover Price: $19.99 Long before two Irish brothers became prayer-reciting vigilantes in south Boston, their father went on a similar crusade against the mob. Before the legend of "Il Duce," there was the life of Noah MacManus. Fans of the cult classic film The Boondock Saints know there were a lot of unanswered questions about the man whose name wasn't even revealed until the sequel. Though the second film answered many of those questions, the series took to a new medium shortly thereafter, with 12 Gauge Comics publishing a trilogy of comic series exploring the character's backstory. Now, the whole story is collected in a single graphic novel for the first time in Boondock Saints: In Nomine Patris [...]      |
| The GoD List: Comics For November 9, 2011 Posted: 09 Nov 2011 12:00 PM PST  Each and every week "All DC, All The Time" MK2Fac3 and "There's Another Publisher Besides Marvel?" Henchman21 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. They look forward to some more than others, I mean, who doesn't? So, let's take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and we'll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of November 9, 2011. Single issues and trades, they're all here. What day is it? Wednesday? Well, I'll be chicken feathered! It's time for new comics! And this week, well this week... is kinda light! Especially on the indie front. There's a lot of DC and a lot of Marvel this week, so forgive us for going mainstream for the most part this week. But just because they're mainstream comics, it doesn't mean that they won't be good. There's loads of talent and interesting characters out there, and it just so happens that we're going to talk about them even if they are a result of the corporate publishing machines. Wait, what are we talking about, comics? Never mind, let's do that! Here's a bunch of new comics that are coming out this week! [...]      |
| Jason Segel Working On A Kids Adventure Film In The Vein Of ‘The Goonies’ Posted: 09 Nov 2011 11:00 AM PST  Sure, remakes/reboots of films like The Goonies may never ultimately happen, but their influence will always be felt, particularly if people like Jason Segel have any say. According to The Playlist, Segel is hellbent on returning to the first script he ever sold, right around a decade ago, which he describes as a "kids adventure movie in the style of Goonies or Labyrinth." Sounds interesting enough [...]      |
