1st Impression: The Town
by Rich on Sep.01, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
When I first heard about this movie I said to myself “another Bah-ston crime flick” trying to capture the magic of the Departed. But after seeing this trailer I feel this movie has the star power to stand on its own two feet. It feels less like the Departed and more like Heat. Jon Hamm and Ben Affleck have the potential to make this movie bad ass. Have a look at the trailer and decide for yourselves

1st Impression: My Soul To Take

Can it be? A horror movie that is rated-R and seems interesting. We might have a winner a folks with the exception of the damn 3-D
1st Impression: Case 39

I am not one to watch flicks with Renee Zellweger simply because I think she sucks. In my opinion her best role was in Jerry McGuire, but it seems that she is shedding the rom-com image and trying out new projects. I was pleasantly surprised at how the plot unfolded in this trailer and it actually succeeded in gaining my attention. Now as long as we get no Hugh Grant cameos we should be all good.

UFC 117: Silva vs Sonnen Preview & Fight Picks
by Rich on Jul.29, 2010, under MMA, UFC News & Rants

Sonnen has become one of my favorites, and while I feel he may lose I am not going to dispute the fact that it will be a war.
Now, I can’t put a preview without my picks. Red & Bold are mine of course:
Main card:
Anderson Silva © vs.
Chael Sonnen– Silva will win but I guarantee it will be a wild fight.
Jon Fitch vs.
Thiago Alves- Huge fan of Alves and feel he matches up well with Fitch. I think Shields should fight the winner before getting GSP.
Clay Guida vs.
Rafael dos Anjos-I can never count out Guida and he delivers awesome fights.
Matt Hughes vs.
Ricardo Almeida–While I think Hughes has a shot and can win, Almeida is hungry and younger than Hughes which can be a factor.
Roy Nelson vs.
Junior dos Santos– Nelson has grown on me, and how can I not love his humbleness. The guy is hungry for a title shot (no pun intended hahaha).

1st Impression: Thor –Comic-Con Trailer
by Rich on Jul.29, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
Got to give props to the Traileraddict crew for this.
I have always felt that Thor while cool in theory is really a boring fucking character. His story is very drab and I knew as soon as the Avengers movie started to take shape that we would see single films based on the the Avengers trinity (Captain America,Iron Man, Thor) prior to an Avengers release.In looking at this trailer I see potential to do the character justice, but I also see a very non engaging storyline that is destined to be the weak link in the Avenger members solo exploits. I must admit that seeing Frost Giants, The Destroyer and Loki’s horned helmet made me appreciate the work put in by Kenneth Branaugh but will that be enough to guarantee blockbuster status. Check it out and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Sorry guys,
Had to remove the video. Will try and upload a saved version in a few days.
My Take On: G4
by Rich on Jul.27, 2010, under Columns & Features, General Gaming News, General Posts, TV, TV News, Video Games
According to Wikipedia G4 is the following:
G4, also known as G4 TV, is an American cable and satellite-television channel originally geared primarily toward viewers aged 12–34, based on the world of video games. More recently, the channel has diverted its focus to general-interest programming that mainly targets viewers aged 18–34, although one video game show is still offered on the channel.
Based on the definition above, you would think that the mainstream programming they offer would at least have a semblance of video game relevance. Sadly, in order to capture the 12–34 viewing cluster they have resorted to having the “hot chick” and the “good looking guy” give snarky commentary and perform skits to relate to the gaming audience. I have no issue with this strategy - EXCEPT that they have no real video game knowledge and are just really good at reading a teleprompter, or shall I say trying to read it (Olivia Munn, I am looking at you). I would rather have people that can be both eye candy and are intelligent. Get us a knowledgeable staff that actually adds dimension to the show.
1st Impression: Sucker Punch
by Rich on Jul.27, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
Zack Snyder debuted the trailer for Sucker Punch at comic-con and I must admit it has got my attention. With it’s bad ass visuals and twisted Alice & Wonderland style story line it looks like it’ll get a lot of press much like 300 did. The real question is will people embrace the weirdness of this film? Based on the trailer I say odds stand at 50/50. Check it out and decide for yourselves.
