| Posted: 14 Apr 2012 01:00 PM PDT  Halo: Glasslands By Karen Traviss Paperback | Kindle Tor Release date: October 25, 2011 Glasslands is the first book of a trilogy in yet another Halo spin-off series written by New York Times bestselling sci-fi and fantasy author Karen Traviss. It takes place after the events of Halo 3; the Covenant has collapsed and the war is… over? Although the fighting has ceased for the moment, no peace deals have been brokered and all sides are tensely assessing the situation. Full disclosure here: This was my first foray into the Halo universe, so please be kind in the comments section below. Thanks. Being an utter noob to such an elaborately crafted, highly developed saga such as this was more than a little intimidating for me. But I'm your Book Slave, dammit. I'm committed to reading every book that lands on my desk and so, I sought council from real life Halo fanatics to help get me up to speed. Oh boy, did I get an earful [...]      |
| Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, and (Maybe) Angelina Jolie Joining Ridley Scott’s ‘The Counselor’ Posted: 14 Apr 2012 11:00 AM PDT  Since Cormac McCarthy's first original screenplay The Counselor was sold back in January it has locked up Ridley Scott as director and rising star Michael Fassbender as the male lead. Three major supporting roles were up for grabs and the casting rumors ran wild with possibilities, but now it seems two of those parts have been cast and the third looks to be taken soon. Most important of all, the actors chosen for those roles are not exactly small timers [...]      |
| Top 10 Best Three Stooges Shorts Posted: 14 Apr 2012 09:34 AM PDT  This weekend, The Farrelly Brothers' theatrical release The Three Stooges, which is the very first undertaking of a film of the nonsensical, slapstick trio to not have at least ONE original member in it, opens in theaters nationwide. This upcoming film, which at heart seems like a harmless, innocuous nod to the legendary comedy team, has created a ripple in today's society. Fans are divided with the release of this film, which in itself is ludicrous. Purists are crying "fake," "sell out," and "it can't be as good as the original," when ultimately, at least to my eye, the choreography in the new film of the classic slapstick antics looks pretty convincing, the imitations of the three men look pretty spot on, and the lines I've heard in the trailer are as faithful to the inane, ridiculously effective bottom dollar scripting as in all of their classic shorts. This isn't a remake of A Streetcar Named Desire or The Grapes of Wrath for sure, which arguably should cause this kind of public debate among cinefiles and at best, it will bring a new generation more of a consciousness of what this great, memorable, guilty pleasure, male-dominated fan base comedy team these three guys were. And to digress, I've always thought that any woman who likes these guys is the coolest gal in the room actually! [...]      |
