| Book Review: Married With Zombies Posted: 27 Mar 2011 07:23 PM PDT  Married With Zombies Book 1: Living with the Dead By Jesse Petersen Paperback Orbit Books Release date: September 2010 Married With Zombies is the first book in Jesse Petersen's three-book series entitled Living with the Dead in which we follow a twenty-something year old married couple, Sarah and David, as they work through their ample relationship issues while they slay their way across the U.S.A. in the hopes of finding loved ones alive and not undead during the sudden zombie apocalypse. Told with sarcasm and frustrated humor from Sarah's point of view, Petersen paints a realistic portrait of marriage in the age of handheld video games and the wives who compete with them for their husbands' attention. The zombies are almost beside the point right away as I wondered whether these two would kill each other first [...]      |
| Interview: ‘Tangled’ Directors Talk About Creating Disney’s 50th Animated Feature Posted: 27 Mar 2011 04:49 PM PDT  Tangled is what many of us thought would be one of Disney's smaller films, almost a direct-to-DVD movie that found itself in theaters, yet something about the animated feature put butts in seats. Globally, Tangled brought in over $350 million. When you actually take time to watch the film, you'll see it tells a great, if traditional, Disney story with solid performances from the lead voice actors Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi. Geeks of Doom recently took part in a roundtable discussion with Tangled's directors, Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, to talk about film, which arrives on 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD this Tuesday, and the duo shared some great nuggets of information from behind the scenes of the making of the movie. Tangled was originally simply titled Rapunzel. Early on the film's titled was changed to the much more modern Tangled. Byron Howard commented, "When Nathan and I figured out that this film was really about two characters, Flynn and Rapunzel, we knew that changing the title would be a good idea. We like that Tangled as a title sounds smart and intriguing, while also relating to the tangle of plot, characters and emotion in the film." One of the best things that Tangled does is tell a classic Disney animated film story, but with a modern more approach to the style and characters. There's edginess to Rapunzel's mother that is hilarious and clever all the way down to her Oscar-nominated song [...]      |

| Amy Adams To Play Lois Lane Alongside Henry Cavill In Zack Snyder’s ‘Superman’ Posted: 27 Mar 2011 02:18 PM PDT  The cast for Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, and the recently released Sucker Punch director Zack Snyder's reboot of Superman for Warner Brothers has been coming together quite nicely. The movie, which is said to be called The Man of Steel, first cast Tudors star Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, and has since brought in Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent. Now Clark has his Lois Lane with the announcement that Academy Award nominee Amy Adams has been cast in the role. Talking with the LA Times, Snyder said: There was a big, giant search for Lois. For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it. It goes back to what I've said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. [...]      |
| DVD Review: Batman: The Brave and The Bold Season One Part Two Posted: 27 Mar 2011 11:35 AM PDT  Batman: The Brave and The Bold Season One, Part Two DVD Starring: Diedrich Bader, John DiMaggio, Will Friedle, James Arnold Taylor Warner Home Video Released date: March 15, 2011 Finally, the second part of Batman: The Brave and The Bold Season One has hit store shelves, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Previously, I mentioned how much I love this show, but my love for the show didn't really develop until the second half of season one. This is really when the show came on my radar, so I'm excited to finally get my hands on this DVD. This DVD set features some incredibly awesome team ups and voice acting that will make any geek's heart beat just a little faster. Some of the dream teams that we see are Batman teamed up with Etrigan The Demon, and Sherlock Holmes in "Trials of the Demon!", Batman and a depressed Aquaman in "Mystery in Space!", and an AWESOME team up featuring Bat-Mite in "Legends of the Dark Mite!", which is just as crazy as it sounds. Also, in this season we have the legendary appearance of Neil Patrick Harris in the musical episode, "Mayhem of the Music Meister!", which is just as awesome as it sounds [...]      |
