| Watch Now: 16-Bit ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 2 RPG Posted: 05 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT  Remember that brilliantly funny 16-bit RPG version of Game of Thrones we saw after the first season? Well, it's back. A new video has been released, this time focusing on the events of season 2! Among the things the video touches on is the drama between Stannis Baratheon and the Lannisters at King's Landing, Daenerys's frantic search for her dragons, and of course, Littlefinger Dance Parties! Oh, those aren't part of the show? Huh. [...]      |
| Marvel’s Next Big Thing: Marvel NOW! Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:08 PM PDT  Marvel Now! is a new series of ongoing stories launching from a convergence of Marvel's REvolution and the repercussions of Avengers Vs. X-Men. Marvel is keen to make it known that this new branding is in no way meant as a reboot of the Marvel U, but is rather a new way of enjoying Marvel content with new stories that are perfect for new readers to grasp onto without leaving current readers cold. The first Marvel NOW! book will be Uncanny Avengers #1 from Rick Remender (Uncanny X-Force, Venom) and John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men, Captain America). The name represents a team-up of the Avengers and the X-Men. The two teams must battle some new threat together that neither can handle alone. In the press release, Marvel mentions that they must also learn to co-exist after the events of AvX, so again no reboot here as those events continue to affect the overall Marvel Universe [...]      |
| Movie Review: Your Sister’s Sister Posted: 05 Jul 2012 02:11 PM PDT  Your Sister's Sister Directed by Lynn Shelton Written by Lynn Shelton Starring Emily Blunt, Rosemarie DeWitt, Mark Duplass, Mike Birbiglia IFC Films Rated R | 90 Minutes Release Date: June 29, 2012 In her new film, Your Sister's Sister, Sundance award-winning filmmaker Lynn Shelton explores the complexities of interpersonal relationships with off-the-cuff humor and intimate authenticity. Mark Duplass (Safety Not Guaranteed, The League) stars as Jack who, a year after his brother's death, is still emotionally struggling and lost in life. He takes up an offer from his friend (and dead brother's ex-girlfriend) Iris (Emily Blunt) to stay at her father's isolated cabin to seek comfort and catharsis in solitude. Upon arriving at the cabin, Jack meets Iris' sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), who is reeling from the abrupt end of a seven-year relationship. The two bond over a long night of drinking and swapping stories, a sequence entirely improvised by Duplass and DeWitt. As it usually does, the drinking leads to spontaneous, casual sex - which triggers a complicated, really awkward love triangle when Iris arrives for a surprise visit [...]      |
| John Layman To Take Over ‘Detective Comics’ Posted: 05 Jul 2012 12:14 PM PDT  A few days ago, we reported that the current writer/artist of Detective Comics, Tony Daniel, would be leaving the title after the #0 issue that is scheduled for this September. Well, in a surprising turn of events, DC Comics announced both a new writer and artist for the title. Chew co-creator John Layman will be taking over the writing duties while Batman: The Dark Knight art collaborator Jason Fabok will be taking on the art. This truly is an interesting turn of events. While an excellent writer, the last book I expected to see Layman on was Detective Comics. Detective is usually known as the darker of the two mainstay Batman books, and while I'm sure the creator of the quirky detective comic book Chew has a sense of darkness in him, the majority of his work I've read has quite a bit of humor, which is not something commonly found within the pages of a standard Detective comic. Another interesting note here is that it will be the first DC comic that Layman has written, and it's at the same time one of the most high profile comics and characters from the company. Good for him, honestly, I love Layman's work and I can't see what he's got in store for my favorite character. It is just a little odd, though. Especially when you consider the pairing of the artist [...]      |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2012 10:48 AM PDT  Star Trek #10 Written by Mike Johnson Art by Stephen Molnar Colors by Jeff Rauch Letters by Neil Uyetake Based on the original teleplay The Return of the Archons by Boris Sobelman Original Story by Gene Roddenberry Creative Consultant: Robert Orci Editor: Scott Dunbier Cover by Tim Bradstreet IDW Publishing Release Date: June 27, 2012 Cover Price: $3.99 This new Star Trek ongoing series is quickly becoming more than just a series to tide you over to the next Star Trek movie. It's getting better and better with each issue, and it shows NO signs of slowing down, especially in this issue. Writer Mike Johnson does some VERY impressive stuff this issue. Not only does he take this episode from the original series and turn it on its ear, but he gives up something really, REALLY shocking at the end. I mean it folks, this is a game changer on epic levels. I'm guessing since Roberto Orci does consulting for this series, it MAY even turn up in the movie. But believe me, it's something that's NEVER been done in Star Trek, let alone Star Trek comics [...]      |
| Movie Review: Oliver Stone’s Savages Posted: 05 Jul 2012 09:06 AM PDT  Savages Directed by Oliver Stone Written by Shane Salerno, Don Winslow Starring Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, Blake Lively, Salma Hayek, Benicio del Toro, John Travolta Universal Pictures Rated R | 127 Minutes Release Date: July 6, 2012 "There's something wrong with your love story, baby." - Elena (Salma Hayek) You're goddamn right there is, Salma. Oliver Stone's latest film, Savages, is a heavy-handed, ineffectual effort that produces plenty of smoke with little fire. Based on the novel by Don Winslow, Savages stars Blake Lively (Green Lantern) as Ophelia, one of many detestable, unbelievable characters in this moth-eaten shambles of a story. Ophelia is a blonde-haired flower child with the unique benefit of having not one, but two douche-bag boyfriends! Former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary Chon (Taylor Kitsch) and Ben (Aaron Johnson), a charitable Buddhist-slash-environmentalist (code for "white guy with dreadlocks"), run a lucrative business growing some of the most potent marijuana ever developed. That's right, the ultra-aggressive dick you hated in high school and the pacifist Greenpeace volunteer who looks down on you for not recycling are BFFs and they're totally cool with sharing the same clueless trust fund hippie [...]      |
