Eclipse is the 3rd movie based off the series of hugely popular teen vampire novels from Mormon author Stephanie Meyer. Her goofy (but wildly successful) idea for the books basically revolves around a teenage Emo girl named Bella (played by Kirsten Stewart) who is in love with an undead vampire who protects her but refuses to turn her or have sex with her. The laughable abstinence makes the heart grow fonder message aside, she’s clearly tapped into something that both teenage girls, and their Moms can both enjoy. By sucking the sex and gore out of the vampire lore, I felt …

The Anime Eureka SeVen has had mixed reviews in the past, some people say it’s too long at 50 episodes and others love it. I’d say that I’m in the middle and find it great on a lot of levels such as the story in itself and negative by how annoying the main characters get on their slow road to finding themselves.

The DVD’s took about 2 years to collect. Having to wait every other month for the next disk to come out was like waiting for paint to dry. Most of the disks came out in a special edition which …

Is Tom Cruise going back to the movie that made him a superstar, Top Gun?

MTV reports that Top Gun producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, has been approached to make a sequel to Top Gun.

“We kicked around some ideas because the aviation community has completely changed since we made the movie a long time ago. So we have to find a way in and how to incorporate the Maverick character into it.”

Jerry Bruckheimer also said that Tom Cruise tried to make a sequel to Top Gun before but it never worked out.

The movie that defined the 80’s cheese still has …

The art direction looks good, reminds me of a video game. I prefer 2D cartoons, but this looks like fun.

By the way, this movie is about Princess Rapunzel, you know, the one with a very long hair. She’s never been outside her castle, and this charming thief will show her a good time!

Trailer:…

From 2002-2003 Mattel revived He-Man and The Masters of the Universe both into a new cartoon and toy line.
When the series first came to DVD there were complaints that chunks from episodes were missing and that the cut wasn’t very good.

The Complete Series offers all 39 episodes in wide screen format, with an approximate cost of $15.00.  The set comes in a large clam-shell case with four disks popped into the center of the case. The disks are sadly packaged in CD-ROM sleeves made of paper with a clear plastic center. Cheap–yeah, however, you can always spend a few …

From Paris With Love is a confused action/spy flick that feels like its being made up on the fly. Poorly written but energetically staged by action maestro Pierre Morel, From Paris With Love is worth a rental, if not quite a purchase.

John Travolta (hammy, with a shaved head) plays a nasty American agent named Charlie Wax who comes to Paris to team with an assistant to the ambassador played by a bland Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Meyers can be an effective (if one note) actor when he’s given the chance to use his full model looks to pout and sneer (as …

Everyone probably knows by now that I’m not the biggest fan of computer animation. I prefer anime myself. I also like the old-fashioned hand-drawn animation. I have no time for the Shrek series as I could barely sit through the first one, but Toy Story is something different. The Toy Story series taps into our love of toys and judging from the emotional responses to the final scenes of Toy Story 3, Pixar has another winner on its hands. Toy Story 3 may be light in plot (it’s basically The Great Escape with toys) but the final scenes contain an emotional …

Guillermo Del Toro

After Guillermo Del Toro left the project, it seemed like The Hobbit was doomed. But, as many fans had hoped for, Peter Jackson may take over Del Toro’s role as director. Although, Jackson’s team hasn’t announced anything official, Deadline reports that this is the route that MGM and WB wants to take. However, other reports indicated that the studios were also looking into other directors, such as District-9’s Neill Blomkamp.

Peter Jackson

After making the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Jackson’s movies had been somewhat disappointing. King Kong was a total bust, it was way too long, …

The Godfather is about a power struggle between differing Mafia Families in the 1950s. Headed by Vito, the Corleone Family finds itself in a difficult position when Vito refused a request of favor from another crime Family. All hell broke lose, and in the midst of the chaos, Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) emerged as the successor to take over the Family business. From father to son, Michael inherited his father’s wits and brutality, the “do what it takes” mentality to keep the Family on top of the food chain. The Godfather is 3 hours of goodness, with great …
