MORE Pacific Rim!!!

Credit: pacificrim.wikia.com

News broke today that between now and April 2017, we'll be getting a Pacific Rim animated series, a comic book, and most importantly, a sequel! Let the main man, Guillermo del Toro tell you himself.



Pacific Rim was one of the most fun movies to come out of 2013. It combined my love of giant robots and giant monster movies. While the acting was nothing to write home about, the action sequences between the Jaegers and Kaiju was ridiculously epic and fun to watch. I am totally psyched for this sequel which I'd love to see in IMAX. Pacific Rim 2 is scheduled for an April 7, 2017 release date.

The RETURN of 24


I'm not talking just about 24 returning to TV. I'm talking about 24 returning to being a BADASS show! And it hasn't just been these last two episodes, although they have been outstanding. The whole season of Live Another Day has been stellar. 24 has managed to seem fresh, new, and exciting while traveling down some very familiar roads.

Remembering Tim Burton's Batman


While this year marks the 75th Anniversary of the Caped Crusader, June 23rd also marks the 25th Anniversary of the release of Tim Burton's Batman which starred Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. And my how times have changed. Take a walk down memory lane and check out the original trailer to the movie.



KILL BILL 8-Bit Cinema


The folks over at CineFix have done it again. A few months ago, they gave the 8-Bit Cinema treatment to Fight Club. Now they've done it again to Kill Bill and the results are marvelous. It's in the style of Karateka, Shinobi, and Bruce Lee, and I want to play this so badly. The video takes you through all the fights spanning the two movies, and there's even a mini-game based on escaping the coffin. Watch this and tell me you don't want to play it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer #2


It's the second trailer to one of my favorite franchises, yet it's one of my least anticipated movies of the summer. Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles has changed the turtle design so much they look like grotesque human/alien hybrids. There's even a joke in the trailer wondering if they're aliens, so you gotta believe they're in on the joke. This trailer shows off a lot more of the Shredder, and they've pumped him up to ridiculous proportions. But before you mock that, it's clear they took some cues from the Super Shredder in Secret of the Ooze. Oh wait, that movie was kind of horrible too. And can someone explain to me how the ooze made Shredder's armor grow as well?!? Anyway, I can't hide my disappointment anymore, here's the trailer!

LEGO Ecto-1 Stop Motion


I still haven't gotten around to building mine yet, but here's a stop motion video of the LEGO Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters being built. This must have taken a crap ton of patience. Patience that I don't have, so my inevitable time lapse video will definitely not be as creative as this. But check it out!

Game of Thrones Season 4 Top 10 Moments

Okay, I clearly haven't fully let Game of Thrones go yet. So I decided to put together a list of the moments that made me go "What the frak?!?" or "Holy Crap!" These are the moments that either stood out as game changers or were just flat out great. These moments made me glad I watch this show no matter how heartbreaking or awesome it was. So here are my top 10 moments from Game of Thrones Season 4.

10 The Walking Frozen Dead


As Game of Thrones has progressed, it has trended more and more into fantasy. Sure we've seen dragons and White Walkers, and the last episode introduced us to skeletons that burst out of the ground, but nothing stood out more than episode 4, Oathkeeper, when we saw a White Walker dressed like a nobleman turn one of Craster's babies into one of their own. It proved they weren't just mindless ice zombies. They're organized! And Stannis proved that an organized army is a deadly army.
