Yesterday the ultimate team was assembled. Not the New York Giants sort of team; more the “Earth’s mightiest heroes” sort.
While John Stamos was certainly my favorite commercial, the Avengers certainly blew Battleship out of the water. Though Ant-Man sized at only thirty seconds long, the trailer was still impressive,showing our heroes ready to fight as one.
Harry Potter’s fought a lot of crazy stuff while at Hogwarts, but now school’s over and there’s no hocus pocus left to get him out of a jam.
Yeah I know The Woman in Black isn’t another Harry Potter sequel, but I can’t help it, Daniel Redcliffe has been Harry Potter for a decade. Now he’s on his own though without the support of Potter-Heads and his trusty wand. Can Daniel Redcliffe handle the leading role of this Gothic Horror?
Leland and Spooky from Movie Issues saw The Woman in Black and had this to say about it:
Welcome to the second installment of She’s Got Game Weekly Wrap Up! As Denver prepares for the Snowpoclypse, I am gathering all the interesting gaming and geek blurbs from this week for you to enjoy in 15 inches of snow! This week we are playing Half-Life 2 to get Valve to release Half-Life 3, looking at some of the most sexist superhero costumes, sighing as GameStop reminds women that they would NEVER want video games as a Valentine’s Day gift, are unsure how to feel about a DragonAge anime, and laughing at the Minecraft Creeper’s new weakness.
Well it was bound to happen sooner than later. This week the boys decided to go down memory lane and revisit Howard the Duck, the infamous 1986 film that is widely considered one of the worst movies in Hollywood history. Join us, as we discuss why it’s not that bad: lots of Lea Thompson love and nude ducks that make us feel very uncomfortable. Yup, it’s just another day here at the Movie Issues studios.

Join me on this horribly imaginary journey. The most important thing in the last 12 minutes of your life just happened and you just have to post it on facebook! You reach for your phone only to find that the battery is dead! You could use your computer to provide your information-ally starved facebook friends of the cute cat video you found or the copy and pasted chain mail/status that just arrived, but who uses computers anymore?!? They are archaic machines used by old fogies who think the internet is made of tubes! Whatever shall you do?!
There has always been the power of myth. Though there is one man without whom we would never would have been given A New Hope in the movie industry.

With The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim still spinning in most RPG enthusiasts’ systems it would be easy to overlook Big Huge Game and 38 Studio’s soon to be released Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. However, the more I see of Kingdoms of Amalur the more convinced I am that dismissing this game would be a huge mistake. With each new preview I’ve seen, not to mention the demo, I find myself getting more and more excited about what this game has to offer.
So here are my Top 5 reasons to not overlook Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
5) Length
With many of the top tier games of today coming in at totals of eight to ten hours, the length of a game has become a selling point by itself. Kingdoms of Amalur’s developers have recently stated that some of the “speed runs” of the game, wherein the tester completed every quest, took around two hundred hours. That’s a very encouraging number to gamers looking to throw down sixty big ones on a game.
Seth Green, Freddy Prinze Jr, Tricia Helfer, and Martin Sheen. What do they all have in common?
They will all be joining you on your adventures in Mass Effect 3 coming on March 6, 2012.
While some of these actors, like Green and Sheen, have appeared in past Mass Effect games, others, like Jessica Chobot (playing a character named Diana Allers), are newcomers. Nonetheless, most of the cast of Mass Effect 2 are retained – unless you decided to remove the characters they play from your crew in the prior titles.
After a bit of a wait, Square Enix finally released its follow-up to 2010′s Final Fantasy XIII, the appropriately titled Final Fantasy XIII-2. And, with its release, Square Enix has decided to announce plans for downloadable content.
In addition to Coliseum Battles, which pit the player against characters from previous Final Fantasy titles who can be recruited into the player’s party, Square Enix also plans to release downloadable episodes to further enhance the storyline of the game. However, whether the new episodes will rule out any further sequels to FFXIII is unknown at this time.
Set your Google calenders because a very special day is coming.
A day so epic that it will live in infamy.
