Starring:John Candy, Eugene Levy, John Vernon, Harold Ramis, Percy Rodríguez, Richard Romanus, Caroline Semple, Vlasta VranaDirector:Gerald PottertonMPAA Rating:RRelease Date:August 7, 1981Synopsis:A time and space-transcending green orb links together various stories of those who encountered it.My Two Cents:This movie is weird. It’s pretty infamous for being just that. That, and violent. And having boobs. And it’s animated. But there is something remarkable about this movie as well that is worthy of praise and viewing.Now, my synopsis sounds confusing, but... well, that ‘s basically what happens in this movie. A green, sentient orb, called the Loc-Nar, is the common theme/element in this anthology. It’s not really explained what this orb is exactl...
- Two-Face, as played by Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight Returns, has been revealed, as posted by figures.com. I must say... it's pretty disgusting. Keep in mind that Harvey Dent's face is burned with acid, so this seems...fairly believable, I'd say.- It's the Spirit of Christmas. It's been announced that Frank Miller's rendition of Will Eisner's The Spirit has been pushed up from January 13, to Christmas; THIS year.The movie features Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Stana Katic, Dan Lauria, Jaime King, Paz Vega and Louis Lombardi.A lot of fans are looking forward to this movie, but there are a lot of detractors too, who don't like the ...
See, I told you they all wouldn’t be the same thing over and over again. There’s no sitting in front of the computer in this one. Anyway, I’m not making it a secret that I am not looking forward to the G.I. Joe movie. It...just looks and sounds awful. I’m certainly not convinced that Hollywood clown shoes will handle it right. I didn’t look forward to the Transformers film, and as I suspected, I found it pretty bad. I don’t think G.I. Joe will be any different. I intended to write an article about this later. The movie doesn’t open until about a year from now, so hey, I have plenty of time...I’m sure Ray Park will make a decent Snake-Eyes. They probably just need him for his martial arts and acrobatic training. And since Snake-Eyes doesn’t talk, hey. Unless they decided t...
I don't usually report things like this, because you might as well consider it 'rumor' status. This has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo of America, however, it seems that Earthbound is indeed coming to the Virtual Console.The ESRB has it listed, with a rating of 'E' (the SNES game was rated 'KA' under the old rating system), and the platform listed is 'Wii'. So...naturally, one assumes this means the VC.However, Nintendo of America has not officially commented on this, or made an announcement. We need to remember that. This news is being reported all over the web that the game has been 'confirmed'. Well, I won't consider it a 'confirmation' until NoA says something. Sometimes these things do happen. For example, sometimes Amazon has listings for items that are actually not being ...
Starring:Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Jason Bateman, Zach Mills, Ted Ludzik, Jonathan Potts, Paula BoudreauDirector:Zach HelmMPAA Rating:GRelease Date:November 2007Synopsis:When the 243-year-old Mr. Magorium discovers his health is failing, he turns over his fantastical toy store to the quiet, depressed manager, Molly Mahoney. Since the store reflects the energy of those who run it, Molly must work to lift her spirits and help the shop recapture its magic.The Good:- Natalie Portman is still cute as a button.- Jason Bateman, known as the Mutant, is likeable for some reason.- Some of the toys in the store look so retro you wish you could own some.- There’s this one monkey plush toy that’s always trying to touch Jason Bateman’s character, but can’t. He’s just so adorable…- The...
Uwe Boll hates his critics. He has even challenged any of them to fight him in a boxing match. But he also has said previously that he would quit making movies if 1 million people signed a petition demanding he stop. He apparently hasn't been happy with the results so far, as a great many people have signed it so far, and Boll has even accused Steven Spielberg of forging names on the petition. Yeah .Well, now, Boll also has a problem with Transformers director Michael Bay, and he wants to fight Michael Bay in the boxing ring. Well, Michael Bay has responded to Boll's, errmm...challenge. He has stated in part: "Can we stop talking about this guy! I never even heard his name till last week when he made threats and rants. The guy is a ******* idiot, making threats to me, Clooney, Eli Roth, s...
The results are in from NintendoPower's poll of most wanted games for the VirtualConsole. As I reported, Starmen.net urged fans to vote for Earthbound, and Mother, if you like (since Mother 3 is a GBA game, it's likely not ever coming to the VC, if it were to be released). the results....are surprising. The official results read:1) Earthbound2) Super Mario RPG3) Chrono Trigger4) Mother5) Majora's MaskYes. Earthbound DID get the top spot for the most wanted game people who voted want for the VC. And Mother got spot #4. Wow. I did not foresee this. At all.And check that out, Super Mario RPG beat Chrono Trigger??? And Eart...
Not all comics will be like this, in which we’re sitting in front of a computer, presumably looking at the internet, mention a movie, and then an imaginary setting emerges. This is only the second week, and only the second time I’ve done this pattern so far. Things will be different as time goes on. :PI’m not sure why they decided to put Gambit in the movie of Wolverine’s origin, as opposed to one of the actual X-Men movies. Hopefully they won’t tie his actual origin in with Gambit too much, and preferably not really at all. So I’m not really sure if this will work out very well. Gambit used to really be hot stuff when he was introduced in the funnybooks, and for many years after that. I don’t think he’s retained quite the same amount of popularity today though. I do think ...
I've mentioned Starmen.net's movement to bring Mother 3, and even the other two games (Mother 2 having been the only game released in North America, as Earthbound), to North America before. Last year, they started a massive campaign of demand against Nintendo of America, called EB Siege. It consisted of PK Call'N, in which you call NoA to tell them your demand for Mother 3, and the other games if you like; PK Mail'N, in which you send NoA a postcard (or letter) to demand Mother 1/2/3; and NP-Env-Art, in which you send Nintendo Power envelope art, old-school style, related to Mother 1/2/3.They have now announced a new stage in EB Siege: PK Tube'N.As mentioned before, NoA removed the tiny Mother 2 demo (which would have been Earthbound here) from the North American release of Super Smash Bro...
Guillermo del Toro, director of Blade II, Hellboy, as well as the upcoming Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and Pan's Labyrinth, will be directing The Hobbit for New Line Cinema and MGM. Both movies. Yes. There will be two movies.Although The Lord of the Rings is the sequel to The Hobbit, they still want two movies made. The second one will be focusing on the 60-year period between the first movie, and The Fellowship of the Ring. It isn't clear what exactly this movie will focus on specifically, however, since there isn't really a book about this to go on.So I guess they'll just be... making stuff up. This could potentially be quite bad. But it might not be that bad, either... After all, Peter Jackson, the man who gave us Meet the Feebles handled the 'Rings movies, and they're excellent, despi...
Starring:Tom Cruise, Tim Curry, Mia Sara, David Bennent, Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert, Peter O’Farrell, Anabelle Lanyon, Kiran Shah, Robert PicardoDirector:Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator)MPAA Rating:PGRelease Date:April 18, 1986Synopsis:Princess Lily upsets the cosmic balance of light and darkness, and freezes the beautiful land after touching a unicorn. Jack, her beloved friend and forest-dweller, must now stop the Lord of Darkness from achieving eternal dark and cold in the world, as well as from marrying his love, Lily.My Two Cents:If you didn’t watch this movie when you were a kid, and would only now see it for the first time as adult, you’re probably going to think this is a really weird movie to watch. And you may be in...
This is honestly too funny. I mean, really. So, Uwe Boll actually did try to get himself onboard as director of the WarCraftmovie that Blizzard is trying to develop. Seriously. And of course, Blizzard told him to go dunk his head in a toilet.According to Boll himself, "I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard... and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you... especially not to you because it's such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.'Boll then continued into a bit of a rant that didn't really have a real point: "You go for it to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hardcore gamers, they live in their own wor...
Welcome to the first comic of COMING NEVER, which will have new postings on Mondays.I decided to do a comic strip about movies because it’s not something you typically see; not i n the funnypapers, and not usually on the web either. Movie references are in comics all the time, but you don’t typically see a comic just about movies. Most online comics seem to either usually be about games, overall computer/dork stuff, and... elves. Or otherwise, fantasy themes. There’s nothing wrong with those things themselves, but I thought, if I made a comic online and was just another joke comic, what would be different about it? What would I do different that most other people are not doing, and yet, people can still relate to and find funny?I thought that movies was a simple, and pleasing answer....
This is probably the least likely and most unexpected piece of gaming news I've heard, since at least Darth Vader and Yoda being in Soul Calibur IV...A crossover game is coming of... Mortal Kombat and... the DC Universe. Seriously. And weird.Called simply Mortal Kombat VS. DC Universe (at least for now), will be, well, a 3D fighting game featuring MK and DC characters. The only revealed characters are the 4 most obvious ones; Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Batman, and Superman. There will also be something called 'Klose Kombat', which is descriebd as 'brutal, up-close fighting mechanic with damage, torn clothing, and bruising', and 'Freefall Kombat', which has not been specified.Comic writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Grey have been hired to write the story for this game. But there will be two ways ...
Do you like to give your hard-earned money to GameStop? Well then, there are a couple of special editions you may want to inquire about.Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will have a special limited edition at GS. For $85, you'll get the game (of course), plus a case with new art work by Yoji Shinkawa, and a BR disc with 'making of' specials, and a soundtrack record. Catch it June 12. SNAAAAAAKE!!On July 29, Soul Calibur IV is coming, it was just announced. And GS will have a special limited edition of that game, too. For $80, you'll get the game in a tin box, plus a t-shirt (design has not been shown..), an art book and 'some sort of exclusive downloadable content'. The game is on both PS3 and 360, but it seems...
DreamWorks has announced they have acquired rights to make a film of Ghost in the Shell. The movie will also reportedly be filmed in 3D, like James Cameron is filming his current movie, Avatar. The movie will be produced by Avi Arad, former head of Marvel Studios, and will be written by Steven Koss, writer of the recently released Street Kings. No release window has been given.Originally a manga by Shirow Masamune, it became an anime movie as well, which was uber-popular in Japan and in the U.S. Another anime movie, Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, was released in 2004. There were also two anime TV series, Stand Alone Complex, and 2nd Gig, which have been released in the U.S. in 2005 and 2006. T...
Starring: Adam Baldwin, Anne Heche, James Marsters, John DiMaggio, Tom Kenny, Swoozie Kurtz, Cree Summer, Ray Wise, Adam WylieDirectors:Bruce Timm, Lauren Montgomery, Brandon ViettiMPAA Rating: PG-13, for 'Strong Action Violence'Release Date:September 18, 2007 (Video Only)Synopsis:Lexcorp accidentally frees the alien super-killer, Doomsday, and Superman is the only one who can stop him. But he loses his life in the process, and Metropolis must cope with the loss of their great hero. Or do they? Superman suddenly returns from the dead and returns to fighting crime, possibly better than ever. But what's wrong with this Superman, and how did he return from the dead? My Two Cents:The first thing I wondered when I heard about this was; why wasn't this
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been out for a month now, and it's been a monster success. Certainly it was the most anticipated Wii game, but I'd say overall the most anticipated game on any Nintendo system in a long time. I like the game a lot, too. It's far from perfect (the controls are the main problem, especially in Subspace Emissary Mode...), but it's a great play, and Wii owners should definitely check it out. I'm not going to review the game because I don't really have anything significant to say, and nothing different from what everyone else has already said. If you have a Wii, at least play the game. That's it. However, I am going to present my 'commando' list of my Top 5 Fighters. This isn't a list of who I am necessarily 'best' with, but they are the ones I use the most, feel the ...
Charlton Heston has died. He was 84 years old, and survived by his wife of 64 years, Lydia, his two children Fraser Clarke and Holly Rochell, and three grandchildren, Jack Alexander, and Ridley and Charlie Rochell. The following statement was released from his family: "To his loving friends, colleagues and fans, we appreciate your heartfelt prayers and support. Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than life. He was known for his chiseled jaw, broad shoulders and resonating voice, and, of course, for the roles he played. Indeed, he committed himself to every role with passion, and pursued every cause with unmatched enthusiasm and integrity.We knew him as an adoring husband, a kind and devoted father, and a gentle grandfather, with an infectious...
Starring:Belén Rueda, Fernando Cayo, Roger Príncep, Mabel Rivera, Montserrat Carulla, Edgar Vivar, Andrés GertrúdixDirector:Juan A. Bayona (El Hombre Esponja)MPAA Rating:R for some disturbing content.Release Date:October 2007Synopsis:With fond memories of the seaside orphanage where she was raised, Laura persuades her husband to help her revamp it as a facility for disabled children. But once they move in, their son Simón begins to exhibit dark and disturbing behavior. As Laura tries to understand Simón's increasingly malevolent actions, she becomes drawn into the house's terrifying secrets.My Two Cents:Being an orphan at an early age must be tough, and living in an orphanage for the disabled must be even tougher. This is where Laura (Belén Rueda) grew up, although she didn’t seen...
The newest issue of NintendoPower asks readers to let them know what classic games they want to see on the VirtualConsole, and want readers' lists of the top 5 choices they have for games, and the results will be posted 'in an upcoming issue'. However, take note that NP does say "This is for polling purposes only, and will in no way determine future Virtual Console releases". 'In no way'? Then why bother? Well, they are a magazine who is simply asking for audience feedback. That's part of it. But also, well, maybe Nintendo of America will take notice of some of the most popular choices, and consider putting them out on ...
Starring:Bruce Willis, Justin Long, Timothy Olyphant, Maggie Q, Cliff Curtis, Jonathan Sadowski, Kevin SmithDirector:Len Wiseman (Underworld)MPAA Rating:PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, language and a brief sexual situation.Release Date:June 2007Synopsis:The decidedly low-tech John McClane calls on the services of a young hacker in his bid to stop a shadowy group intent on taking control of America's computer infrastructure.My Two Cents:America is under attack, again! Duck and cover, run for the hills! No wait, who’s that in the distance? It’s John McClane (Bruce Willis). John fucking McClane! Yes, the same McClane who rid the Nakatomi Plaza of German terrorists, saved the Virginia Dulles International Airport and prevented New York from being blown out of the map.Th...
So Shin Lord has already shared his review of the Transformersfilm from last summer. Now I'm going to give you my thoughts on the movie, since I was finally able to watch it. Shin and I differ very much about this movie though; he loved it, and I did not. So I'm basically going to give you a view of the movie 'from the other side', as it were. This won't happen with every movie that is reviewed of course, but I do want to give another look at this movie that was so huge last year, and almost universally received great reviews (but there are also people who didn't care for it, like me).I'm not going to give a story breakdown because Shin already did that. I'm going to get right into the issues I have with this movie. I...
In celebration of the US release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl I’ve gathered TV commercials from all three installments in the series.This is hands down the best TV ad for any Nintendo game, in my opinion. It barely shows gameplay footage, but it doesn’t need to. The guys in suits are hilarious and the music fits perfectly with the violence.I don’t even remember this commercial, but that’s probably because it’s so lame. There’s no fun or excitement here, just a guy looking like a dork. If you take away the brief gameplay video you are left with nothing that has to do with Smash Bros. What the hell?I like the two Japanese guys, but I really wish Nintendo of America would bring back the guys in suits from the N64 days. Also, the guys playing Br...
Plenty of new releases this week, but people are still craving Horton Hears a Who.

Starring:Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry ShearerDirector:David Silverman (The Road to El Dorado, Monsters Inc.)MPAA Rating:PG-13 for irreverent humor throughout.Release Date:July 2007Synopsis:Homer must save the world from a catastrophe he himself created. It all begins with Homer, his new pet pig, and a leaky silo full of droppings - a combination that triggers a disaster the likes of which Springfield has never experienced. As Marge is outraged by Homer's monumental blunder, a vengeful mob descends on the Simpson household. The family makes a narrow escape, but is soon divided by both location and conflict.My Two Cents:Leave it to Homer Simpson to ruin not only his life and his family’s, but also of all the citizens of Springfield. A...
Larry Hama, the guy behind the G.I. Joe movie, released some publicity photos of Ray Park in his SnakeEyes costume. I have to admit he looks sick in that black costume, and I actually got excited about the movie, if only for Ray Park. It's cool knowing that Darth Maul is under that ninja outfit. Wipe them out, Snake Eyes, all of them....
Starring:Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Cliff Curtis, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rose Byrne, Troy Garity, Benedict WongDirector:Danny Boyle (The Beach, 28 Days Later)MPAA Rating:R for violent content and language.Release Date:July 2007Synopsis:With Earth's life source, the sun, dying out 50 years in the future, it seems the planet's days may be numbered. Humanity's only hope lies with a crew of eight astronauts transporting a device that will revitalize the sun. But a fatal miscalculation leaves the cosmonauts fighting for survival... and for their sanity.My Two Cents:I always appreciate when moviemakers try to come up with new, original material. Alex Garland wrote an entirely original plot, meaning that it wasn’t based on a novel or on another sci-fi...
Most of the members of the FOXHOUND unit are male, so it’s nice to see a female, and a sexy one to boot. She is an expert Kurdish sharpshooter and carries around a PSG-1 sniper rifle. Wolf is so good at sniping she doesn’t even need a spotter, so she works alone. She encounters Solid Snake on Shadow Moses island during the events of Metal Gear Solid. While being held captive in Shadow Moses, Dr. Hal “Otacon” Emmerich, designer of Metal Gear REX, becomes infatuated with Sniper Wolf. It is unknown if she felt the same way towards the geeky weapons designer, but I like to think so.During her second encounter with Solid Snake, Sniper Wolf is defeated. Fatally wounded on the snow field, she begs Snake to “set her free”. Otacon is devastated, but can...
Starring:Angela Basset, Daniel Hansen, Matthew Josten, John H. Ford, Paul Butcher, Laurie Metcalf, Wesley Singerman, Stephen J. AndersonDirector:Stephen J. Anderson (Journey Beneath the Sea)MPAA Rating:GRelease Date:March 2007My Two Cents:Brilliant preteen inventor Lewis creates a memory scanner to retrieve his earliest recollections and find out why his mother gave him up for adoption. But when the villainous Bowler Hat Man steals the machine, Lewis is ready to give up on his quest, until the mysterious Wilbur Robinson shows up on the scene, whisking Lewis to the future to find the scanner. When Lewis meets Wilbur’s family, for the first time in his life he feels at home. They are all wacky and odd, but they love each other and are always together. After a while The
Jim Carrey is hot once again. Dr Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who kicked everyone’s ass at the Office">box office and is the current record-holder for biggest opening of 2008 with $45 millions.

Starring:Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook, Alison Pill, Brittany Robertson, John Mahoney, Marlene LawstoneDirector:Peter Hedges (Pieces of April)MPAA Rating:PG-13 for some innuendo.Release Date:October 2007Synopsis:Advice columnist and widowed father of three Dan Burns has met someone new. Marie is beautiful, she's smart, and she just so happens to be the girlfriend of Dan's brother, Mitch. With a publicly recognized moral compass, Dan finds himself torn between reaching for happiness and keeping the peace in his family.My Two Cents:I’m no fan of romantic comedies, but I’m no hater either. I’m used to seeing Steve Carell be a jerk in Bruce Almighty, a dorky virgin in The 40 Year Old Virgin, and a suicidal gay man in Little Miss Sunshine, so it was interesting to see him play...
The Mighty Muggs will rule the world! Hasbro keeps coming up with new Mighty Muggs all the time, and this batch is just as cute as the one before. Look for chunky versions of Star Wars favorites Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and Mace Windu. If Star Wars is not your thing, you freak, then you might enjoy collecting some of their Marvel line of Muggs, including Spider-Man, Venom, Iron Man and Wolverine. They only cost about $9.99 so don’t be a cheap bastard and buy them! More Mighty Muggs coming soon. ...
Isn’t Terry Bogard supposed to be a bad-ass street fighter? This guy on the left looks more like a beggar. He got the colors of his costume right, even the Fatal Fury baseball cap, but everything else is hilariously bad. I’ll look at this picture every time feel a bit down to regain my confidence.Blue Mary is hot, but this broad is, um, not as hot. I mean, she’s a sexy MILF, but she’s either pregnant with twins or already had a baby like 3 minutes ago. Look how tight Blue Mary looks on the right. It’s tough for any mature woman to look that good. She still gets credit for trying. You go, girl!I’ve got mixed feeling about this Andy Bogard cosplay. The costume is pretty awesome and the guy sort of looks like him, but at first I didn’t know if it was a guy or a girl. Sorry dude,...
As ridiculous as 10,000 BC seems, that didn’t stop people from making it the #1 movie this weekend with a solid $35 million opening.

This time, he will not stop at his former masters' empty promises or even with the killing of those who relentlessly pursue him. With nothing left to lose, he will use each nuance of his training and every finely honed instinct they taught him to come after his creators and finish it all.My Two Cents:Spy movies like James Bond and Mission: Impossible are always fun, but they tend to go overboard with the stunts and silly gadgets. That’s why Bou...

My only thought were “I gotta watch th...
Ever wonder why Midway excluded the very popular character of Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat 3, the last game in the series to feature digitized graphics of real-life people? That’s because Daniel Pesina, the martial artist who portrayed Cage in the first two games, appeared in a magazine ad in 1994 for the incredibly crappy fighting game BloodStorm developed by Incredible Technologies. Not only that, but Daniel was wearing a costume very similar to Johhny Cage’s from MKII, with shades and everything. His employers at Midway were so pissed they fired him. That must have hurt worst than a split punch to the groin. BloodStorm was supposed to be a Mortal Kombat-killer, but it did so poorly it killed itself and made Incredible Technologies go out of busine...
