1st Impression: The Town

by Rich on Sep.01, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies

The Town Poster

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

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:

 Brazil Ander­son Silva © vs. United States Chael Son­nen– Silva will win but I guar­an­tee it will be a wild fight.
 United States Jon Fitch vs. Brazil Thi­ago Alves- Huge fan of Alves and feel he matches up well with Fitch. I think Shields should fight the win­ner before get­ting GSP.
 United States Clay Guida vs. Brazil Rafael dos Anjos-I can never count out Guida and he deliv­ers awe­some fights.
 United States Matt Hughes vs. United States Ricardo Almeida–While I think Hughes has a shot and can win, Almeida is hun­gry and younger than Hughes which can be a fac­tor.
 United States Roy Nel­son vs. Brazil 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.
