STAR WARS - EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE 3D [movie] Review And the winner for longest title goes to…So for those who haven’t seen SW, wait, if you haven’t seen these movies then what the frick are you doing following me (haha I jest). For real though, it’s nothing new it’s just 3D. But to be honest with you, it’s not really. I kept switching between the glasses and not, and the foreground didn’t really change much. It seems that they just made the background of every scene 3D to give it the effect. And after all the hype, I was expecting a lot more. Best use of 3D was Yoda’s ears, yup, they really stuck out from his head. And the Podrace’s were epic too. See it for the nostalgia factor, if you’re a fan, if you’ve never seen these just watch at home.

UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING [movie] Review The 4th instalment in the vampire vs werewolf series adds a new twist; humans. If you were a fan of the 1st, enjoyed the 2nd, and tolerated the 3rd, you’ll find this one to be a breath of fresh air. It feels more organic to see humans battling against monsters (but don’t worry, the Lycans find a way to be real jerks). And *SPOILER ALERT* the switching of Michael for his dish-daughter with Celine as the role of “sidekick” is so needed. I don’t know about you guys but the whole ‘I love Michael and will fight everyone’ gag was getting old. HOWEVER, that being said, the ending of the movie totally sets it up for another family-filled sequel ;) This is definitely one of my favorite vampire series. Mostly for the vamp/lycan war storyline. And…possibly…because Kate Beckinsale is a total babe. And while I do think this new film was a step in the right direction, I feel like their going the way of so many action flicks: gimmicky special effects *cough*3D*cough* + forgettable characters + filler storyline that always leaves it open for a sequel. As long as they keep adding the epic plot twists that Underworld is known for, I’ll keep seeing them (and so should you)

Star Wars IS Going 3D << click

Starting with The Phantom Menace in 2012; no release dates for the other 5 films.

Obviously I have some reservations towards this:
- why does Lucas feel he NEEDS to re-release SW all the time?
- do we NEED more 3D movies?
- will adding the computerized 3D affect really enhance the series?

I’ll still watch it :P haha

BATMAN 3 EDITION

1. Riddler to be next Villain?
It’s rumored that Joseph Gordon Levitt (Tommy from 3rd Rock, or the “nerdy” guy from Inception) will be playing The Riddler in Nolan’s next comic adaptation. In my books, the only villain/actor teamup that could come after Ledgers amazing Joker performance.

2.  Nolan says “NO” to Batman 3D
This is a breath of fresh air; a director with a strong head on his shoulders making decisions for the film instead of for Hollywood. After reading this article (click link below) check out article #3…

3. 3D(ead)
Is this Hollywood-hyped, waste of money, style of filming ever going to stop?

3D hits video games later this year << click

3D is pretty dope for watching movies in theaters, but I’m still not excited about having to buy an entirely new setup to watch them at home. And now gaming is making the jump…great…
The great thing is it’s only a software update…you don’t need to buy a new Xbox or PS3…however, like the article says, 3D games will push your system to run at double the frame rate. My head right away goes to, “but doesn’t the Xbox already have a problem red ringing over games that push it?” so doubling howmuch a game pushes the system just sounds like immediate failure to me.
Nonetheless I still can’t wait to experience the feel of an FPS with flecks of snow rushing past my view, and the HUB feeling like its actually in front of your eyes and not on a screen.

…Am I the only one pissed off that they make us buy new TV’s every year?

Blueray > DVD
HD > analog
3D > HD

…I mean really, c’mon consumers are you all complete suckers?
