To turn the tide, an embattled scientist must accept the impossible and place the fate of humanity in the hands of something that doesn't exist. And little does he know that his fateful actions have brought the Voltron Force to their current situation almost a hundred years later…staring down a battalion of shock troops and Robeasts that have come to make sure Voltron doesn't get rescued and the day doesn't get saved.

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 05:14 PM PST

Leonard Nimoy - Mr. Spock

Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy will make a guest appearance on the CBS series The Big Bang Theory for its March 29 episode.

THR reports that Nimoy, who played the character of Spock in the original 1960's Star Trek series and its subsequent movies, including JJ Abrams' 2009 reboot, will voice the role of Spock during a dream sequence where he'll speak to Sheldon, played by Jim Parsons.

On the series, Sheldon, the most obsessive of his group of young scientist geeks friends, is a big fan of Star Trek and Leonard Nimoy. One of the biggest moments on the show was when Sheldon's neighbor Penny gifts him a napkin that was used then signed by Nimoy [...]

Watch Now: ‘Piranha 3DD’ Trailer Takes A Bloody Bite Out Of The Big Screen

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST

Piranha 3DD

The 3D horror remake sequel Piranha 3DD was originally supposed to open last November before it was pulled from Dimension Films' release schedule and given an unspecified 2012 premiere date, but that didn't stop the studio from releasing a new trailer today.

You can watch it here below.

Comic Review: Usagi Yojimbo #144

Usagi Yojimbo #144
Created, Written and Illustrated by Stan Sakai
Cover Colors by Tom Luth
Dark Horse Comics
Release Date: February 29, 2012
Cover Price: $3.50

Last month, in my review of Usagi Yojimbo #143, I ended by saying that I predict that the next issue would have plenty of action. If I knew then what I know now I would have replaced 'action' with 'violence.' Usagi Yojimbo #144 is a violent, violent comic.

In the last issue, the ronin rabbit came into a new town and befriended Mitsui, an old, hardworking soy sauce brewer whose warehouse was being threatened by the local competition. Well, surprise, the thugs have returned in this issue. One of Mitusis' staff is killed and Usagi sets out with an ineffectual sheriff to arrest the men responsible. They resist arrest. Swords are unsheathed [...]

The ‘Indiana Jones’ Films Are Coming To Blu-ray This Fall

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 02:29 PM PST

Indiana Jones If adventure has a name it must be Indiana Jones. The legendary film franchise that made Harrison Ford a household name and solidified the reputations of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as the kings of Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking has been one of the more notable absences from getting the Blu-ray treatment so far, but all that is about to change. The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection is finally heading our way courtesy of Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution. You can watch a trailer for the release here below. The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection box set will include all four Indiana Jones movies (yes even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) remastered in high-definition and featuring a "best of" collection of documentaries, interviews, featurettes, and a few additional bonus features as yet unknown. Maybe they'll finally include those fabled deleted scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Lord knows the Lucasfilm archives are teeming with great material for Blu-ray extras. Lucas didn't hold out on us (much) when he released the Star Wars Blu-ray set last year [...]

Watch The Epic New Trailer For ‘The Avengers’

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 10:55 AM PST

The Avengers

After the muted and mixed response that greeted yesterday's unveiling of the film's new poster, Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures have released the second and most likely final trailer for The Avengers.

You can watch it here below.

Now this is more like it. I had great hope that the new trailer would be the eyeball-roasting blast of awesomeness it really has to be, and needless to say that hope was not misplaced. Any and all doubts I may have had about this movie have officially been chucked out the window where they will not be caught in mid-air by the Hulk [...]

Yesterday the mystery surrounding the nature of the connection between Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien and his upcoming prequel-cum-return to the genre that made him a world-renowned filmmaker, Prometheus, became a great deal clearer with the director revealed that actor Guy Pearce would be playing a character named Peter Weyland, the owner of the titular spaceship and the instigator of the voyage into the unknown that the movie revolves around.
