| Mia Wasikowski and Zoe Aggeliki Vying For Role In ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Posted: 22 Jun 2012 04:54 PM PDT  We are a little over a month away from the start of production of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The second entry in the famed Suzanne Collins novel will be taking a new direction with Francis Lawrence replacing original helmer Gary Ross for the big-screen adaptation. But as we get closer to the start date, we have yet to hear of any additions to the cast. We recently heard that Philip Seymour Hoffman was among the frontrunners to be cast as Plutarch Heavensbee. But this report isn't a follow up on that; instead, we are hearing of two names that may be vying for a role in the film [...]      |
| Netflix Review: The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Posted: 22 Jun 2012 02:02 PM PDT  The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Netflix Streaming DVD | Blu-Ray Written and Directed by Tom Six Starring Laurence R. Harvey, Ashlynn Yennie, Maddi Black IFC Midnight Originally Released: September 22, 2011 Are we really not only making movies about eating shit, but making sequels to them now? The Human Centipede 2 is not only a difficult film to watch; it's disgusting and it's messy. Where the first movie is cold, deliberate, clinical, and in full color; the sequel is static, filthy, filmed in black-and-white, and firmly lacking in the antiseptic of the first (quite literally). As with the initial movie, there's not much about this horror movie to 'scare' you, but much of it to shock and disgust you. Tom Six delivers his promise that this sequel makes the original look like My Little Pony; but there is a cost to this, as elements of social commentary and deeper symbolism is sacrificed by the obsession of being able disturb you and shock you.      |
| Disney In Depth: Tron: Uprising Review Posted: 22 Jun 2012 01:00 PM PDT  Tron: Uprising, an arrestingly-captivating new animated original series on the Disney XD channel, brings viewers back into the grid with the dynamic visuals, electrifying music and gripping storytelling that rekindled audiences with digital dazzle in Tron: Legacy. Set between the original Tron and Tron: Legacy, Tron: Uprising focuses on mechanic-turned-renegade Beck (voiced by Elijah Wood), a deft programmer living in the stunning Argon City. Beck's free-thinking society is soon threatened by the menacing General Tesler (Lance Henriksen), one of the evil CLU's cohorts, who aims to take charge of the metropolis. Once his friend is "derezzed," or the Tron version of someone being killed, Beck avenges his death by disguising himself as believed-to-be-dead hero Tron and inspiring a revolution. In the intense prologue special, "Beck's Beginning," we see this as almost an origins story, provided with heavy exposition to better understand the characters and storyline [...]      |
| The Drill Down 238: Scratching the Surface Posted: 22 Jun 2012 12:00 PM PDT  On this week's show, we look at Microsoft's big week of announcements, including the new Surface line of tablets designed from the ground up for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. Then we follow up with some Apple fallout and follow-up from last week's WWDC conference. But first, the headlines...another volley is launched in The Oatmeal vs. FunnyJunk war, Facebook buys Face.com, Netflix changes its API, and an 'alarming' rate of government censorship of Internet content [...]      This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Michael Bay Wants ‘Transformers 4′ Set In Space, Expects Cheaper Budget Posted: 22 Jun 2012 11:00 AM PDT It came as a shock that Michael Bay would be following the big-budget blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon with a smaller budgeted fact-based flick, Pain and Gain. Now that the filmmaker has completed principal photography with his $20 million passion project, he will be getting back to work with Transformers 4. The film won't [...]      |

| Robert Rodriguez Casts Charlie Sheen As U.S. President In ‘Machete Kills’ Posted: 22 Jun 2012 09:00 AM PDT  If the addition of a one Mel Gibson was intriguing enough for you, director Robert Rodriguez has announced that he has also cast tabloid magnet Charlie Sheen in his upcoming sequel, Machete Kills. Rodriguez made the announcement via the Twitter, where he also revealed that Sheen would actually be playing the President of the United States of America (which feels strangely fitting, no?).

| Posted: 22 Jun 2012 08:01 AM PDT  Brave Co-Directed by Mark Andrews, Steve Purcell, and Brenda Chapman Written by Mark Andrews, Steve Purcell, Brenda Chapman, Irene Mecchi Starring Kelly Macdonald, Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane, John Ratzenberger Disney/Pixar Rated PG | 93 Minutes Release Date: June 22, 2012 November 22nd, 1995. Aside from it being my sister's 23rd birthday, it's also the theatrical release date of Pixar's first feature film, Toy Story. I was 10 years, 11 months and 18 days old, the perfect age (approximately) for your typical adolescent boy to be super-excited about an all-CGI film. The thing is, I wasn't really a normal kid. As a chubby, four-eyed fourth grader, I was wearing Aliens t-shirts and watching Terminator 2: Judgment Day and RoboCop on VHS while other kids sang along to "Under the Sea" or "A Whole New World." Walt Disney classics like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and The Lion King didn't interest me. I was too busy tugging at my mom's shirt, begging her to rent Alien 3 from the local video store - which she did, only if I promised not to repeat any of the bad words I heard. She still ended up fast-forwarding through the gory moments, but by God no cartoon could ever compare [...]      |
