The Two Towers is the second installment in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, now available as an extended Blu-ray 5 disc set. This sequel to the Fellowship of the Ring kicks up the action a notch as Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are fighting the Uruk-hai (who are like orcs on steroids) alongside kingships and defending castle keeps. Frodo and Sam, having gone off on their own at the end of Fellowship, find themselves at the mercy of the black sheep Faramir, brother of the fallen Boromir, who thinks he must bring the ring back to restore his father’s faith …

This Blu-Ray extended edition of the first installment from the Lord of the Rings trilogy was offered for the first time ever on August 28. The film has a huge cast of big names such as Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom and Hugo Weaving. It also won four Oscars for Best visual Effects, Cinematography, Makeup and Original Score.

Having seen the original several times, I was pleasantly surprised by all of the extra scenes included in this longer version of the film. I realize the original was pretty long itself, and yes, this version is …

Coming soon to DVD is Volume One of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Featuring 13 episodes of the live action series on two disks and brought to you by SHOUT Factory.

Ninja Turtles is a very weird show; made by Saban who brought us Power Rangers. I’d go on to say that it’s cheesy and such, but I think that is obvious just by the DVD box art.

Ninja Turtles is filmed in Canada and features a vast selection of Canadian voice actors who are in the cast of many cartoons and the voices are very recognizable. The characters–in …

Here’s what it would look like if Batman, Catwoman, and Bane were kung-fu fighting. It’s just a little Short, but I do wish that Cartoon Network would make this into a full feature.

Here’s an interview of Australian singer, Tom Waits. Apparently, Heath Ledger and Tom Waits worked on a film together called the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus from 2009. There’s a lot of resemblances here, but pay close attention to the voice. Who do you hear?

Thanks to Newsrama for the article.…

If you’ve ever wished of having a big sexy hairy feet, here’s your chance!

It’s very cool, but I’m wondering if I can use these in Jiu-jitsu?
Get it here for $20.…

Superhero movies are more popular than ever before, between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Nolan’sBatman trilogy.  What more could we possibly ask for? Well how about finally making a good CBM based around a magical character.

Before going any further, I’d like to address the people who are going to scream THOR USES MAGIC! Yes he is, but not so much in the movies. In the movies technology and magic are the same. Where in the comics everything is obviously magic.

The Asgardian architecture and their outfits are all tech based.  While weapons like Mjölnir are a combination of the two. …

From Cartoon Network is The Amazing World of Gumball, a mixed media cartoon starring a blue cat and goldfish with legs. I was very put off by this cartoon because of the advertisements and the fact that it is created with mixed media. However, it seems that watching the commercial free DVD has found me a new show to enjoy!

The Amazing World of Gumball is very funny and features some good messages for the kids, it is comedy based so it is full of slapstick—falling on their faces and other bruising impacts for these poor characters.

The main character …

Squidbillies, the most screwed up animated show from Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim evening block was rather enjoyable for someone like myself who has never watched it before the DVD. Although I saw many commercials, I just didn’t have interest in it mainly because as a fan of Anime, I’ve become an animation snob and don’t care too much for something so primitive.

Unbelievably funny, Squidbillies can take a non-fan to a constant watcher after just one episode. VERY adult and probably something to keep away from the kids without parental guidance, this animated will split your sides as you laugh …

Some rumors have been circling around the Interwebz these past few days, it details a possible Legend of Korra movie made by Paramount. The film is apparently NOT live action but rather traditional animation like the show and the original series Avatar TLA and has a budget of a 100 million.

So what could be story of this film? I personally have no clue, but at least its animated like the show and not like the monstrosity that shall never be named, this news could get even better if the original creators are put on because they’ve proven they can do …
