What the? Who? Where? Why?

Pixar never ceases to amaze me. Last night, I watched Toy Story 3 for the first time and it made me laugh hysterically and it made me cry, similarly to other Pixar movies in the past really. They manage to create characters and settings that are so wonderful and unique and at the same time they become universally loved...

So, anybody got a chance to check this movie out? I hear it's really, really, good. Wait a sec... Hmm, turns out a some people think it's crap. Oh what the hell, I'll just have a look myself. What's the worst that could happen?

What's with the sudden massive resurrection of movies with an 'aliens attack Earth' kind of plot? Wait, were they ever out of fashion in Hollywood? Hm, I think not. So, it's business as usual then in Hollywood, as films like Skyline and the upcoming Battle: Los Angeles hit the scene. From what I hear, Skyline is pure crap and, well, Battle LA, I dunno might be a bit better. Still, nothing original going on in the movie apparently and that sucks cock!

So, I went to see Clash of the Titans the other day. They were showing it in 3D and I had nothing better to do. Also, it was one of those blockbusters I just missed out on and said I'd watch later on DVD. Anyway, there really wasn't anything else remotely interesting in the cinema...

Not gaming news. Well, mainly because there's precious little gaming news at the moment. Anyway, thought you might be interested in having a peek at the US Weekend Boxoffice Chart: 1. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse $69.0/$161.0 2. The Last Airbender $40...

For ages now, the delightful and peaceful town of Cannes has been turned into a giant nest for movie-themed posters. The latest report, from UK-based movie mag Empire, points towards a couple of posters for video game adaptation, Kane & Lynch, that can be seen in front of the Majestic Hotel...

I've been checking the reviews of Iron Man 2. And from what I gathered, a lot of folks (critics and the public alike) are saying that the film was mehish. Hm, that's about the worse thing you can say about a game, book or flick... that it's fucking mehish. un om bun said it was mehish and THR said it was crap (I respect both opinions, so... that's all it takes for me... actually I respect un om bun's opinion more than THR's).

Word is that Syfy closed a deal to bring Red Faction to TV through a two-hour movie, which will also "serve as a back-door pilot." What's more, the next Red Faction video-game is going to be produced in conjunction with Syfy Games...

Hey, guys, how's it going? I'm sure you're all locked forever in some form of boyish microcosm or fantasy, so you're fine, don't worry. Anyway, I've just watched the new Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie trailer and I'm beginning to wonder how far Hollywood means to take all this game-to-movies transition...

Peter Jackson commented in a recent interview that these days he enjoys experiencing video games more than movies. The director spends his free time playing through title like Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2. "I'm enjoying these games more than I am enjoying films at the moment," he said to Ain't It Cool News...

Taking a bit of a break from gaming here, guys, to have a glance at Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball, which hits Blu-ray Hi-Def, DVD and digital download January 19, 2010. Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball marks the return of assassins Lazlo Soot and the Tremor Brothers from the first flick (if you've watched it)...

There are some potentially good movies here and some potentially crappy ones. Holy shite, Russell Crowe is gonna be Robin Hood! I didn't know that. Seriously. Ridley Scott and Russell are a good combo; everyone knows that. But Robin Hood? C'mon guys, not that one again...

Apple.com just released the official trailer for Avatar. Okay, I've been reading comments everywhere about this and all I keep running into is shit like this: "It's a mix of The Matrix and World of Warcraft." - Oh please! "The movie is 'meh' and looks like Aliens and The Matrix and WoW...

The last Marvel-based game was the relatively well-received X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Marvel is hoping that this game becomes a turning point in an otherwise stale machinery of shitty movie tie-ins. "We are not doing movie-based games anymore," said Marvel digital media VP Ira Rubenstein...
