Scott Pilgrim Movie Review---Box Office Flop? Or Instant Classic!



O.K. this movie first off is truly amazing let me just get that out of the way now! But with that being said lets to a look at what makes this movie what it is, to start if you are not a gamer your most likely not going to get this movie. Second if your not a gamer from the arcade era this game isn't going to strike the same cords that it does with someone that play hours of "Street Fighter 2" or "Virtual Fighter" on the up right machine.


The over the top fight scenes were instant gold for me and the ADD/HD ridden story telling made my inner geek just have a "geek-gassum"!! Unfortunately for the movie box office success or lack there of this uber over the top story telling doesn't transcend to the mass'es. On the other hand this is very fortunate for the comic book/ video game lovers! There truly is so much going on that you almost miss that there is a massive love story going on under lying everything else. This movie gets 5 Stars in my book and is the must see of 2010!!

"Shank & Scott Pilgrim vs the world" 2D Epicness!!

"Shank" & "Scott Pilgrim vs the world" hit Xbox 360 Arcade and I must say they are both Epic!! If you grew up in the era of 8 bit goodness and arcades Scott Pilgrim is a awesome walk back through time with a 4 player co-op game!!



And on the other hand you have "Shank" 2D cartoonie shoot'em up that feels like your playing through a Robert Rodriguez film! Uber gory and fun!! Theres a gritty back drop but not to deep story line with this one, the game play will keep you glued.

Walking Dead AMC Trailer looks Epic!!

Heres the first look trailer from AMC's Comic book adaptation of the Walking Dead! This looks as gritty as the comic which for comic book fan boys like myself is a really big deal! AMC has this set to air Halloween night so you'll know where I'll be that night around 10:00pm.

Bio Shock Infinite Prequel Or Something Totally New?!

Late Wednesday night we were treated to a first look at "Bio Shock Infinite" and I must say it looks crazy! A flying city called "Columbia" what you first think is a return to "Rapture" is actually the lead protagonist being drowned in his own fish bowl then thrown out a window of a high rise plunging to his death falling through a city floating on the clouds?! This left more questions than answers, is this a prequel, seeing its set in 1912 with all the turn of the century steam punk influenced atmosphere or is this a completely different story? This is being produced by the team that did "Bio Shock" Irrational Games but from what is being said we have until 2012 to try and figure out that puzzle, heres a first look.

"Scott Pilgrim" Comic not so much?! Movie Very Much! Win!!!

This comic came out about 6 years ago and I like many of you I give it a try but it just felt to kiddie, but the movie adaptation is another mile stone in comic to movie genre. Like "Sin City" & "300" changed the way amazing comics made it to film this movie helps the rest of us jaded comic lovers enjoy the movie format of our favorite comics. I'm happy to say this one with some re watchable qualities!!

SUCKER PUNCH

Looks like super director Zack Synder is at it again, after "300" & "Watchmen" what can he do to top those two power houses well here comes "Sucker Punch". Mix one part kung-fu with two parts "The Matrix" and throw in some dragons and you've got what looks to be one of the best sci-fi movies of 2011!
