Big Giant Robots

The other day I was browsing through Wired as I often do and I came across the an article they have done on infection films, I have to admit bio-hazard films have always freaked me out which is why I enjoy watching them. For me zombie films are just an extension of the idea that [...]

1974′s Space Battleship Yamato is one of the most epic, legendary anime series ever made. It’s also 26 episodes long. The 2010 live action film has to compress all of that into 138 minutes and also attempts to modernise the crew and interestingly, opts to include elements from the anime’s sequel series to boot. It [...]

There are some great things coming out at the moment that are worthing checking out. Akira Collectors Edition Steel Book Yet another edition of Akira you just have to buy. Talking to Sideswipe today this is this will be the firth time he has bought it, the third time for me. A bargain too. Get [...]

For some strange reason this week I had an over whelming need to watch The Fifth Element. I don’t know why I just wanted to, put it on and remembered why I enjoy this film. So I was suddenly surprised when I found out this evening that it is finally coming on Blu-Ray (or should [...]

I have not been paying so much attention since these were announced, but they are now getting closer and there are three versions for your consideration.

I managed to get to see “The Green Hornet” this week (in 3D unfortunately, but more on that later). In summery it was alright, not great and definitely not worth going to the cinema to see it, especially paying the extra money for seeing it in 3D. While it is mostly well done and the [...]

If you haven’t heard of Sym-Bionic Titan you will soon! Then you will wonder how you ever lived without it. This new show from Genndy Tartakovsky has only just started but it is already one of my favourite shows, fortunately for me it slots right into the “Big Giant Robot” theme perfectly.

Today I had a great misfortune to see “The Last Airbender”. I really should say I am big fan of the cartoon, I was very surprised at how good that cartoon actually is. It has an epic story but pays a lot of attention to the details. It is a shame to say that the [...]

The Expendables may have the most pressure on it of any movie ever, just look at the cast list Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crewes, Mickey Rourke, Stone Cold Steve Austin and cameo’s by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.  It’s cast are all legends and almost all of them [...]
