| Blu-ray Review: The Incredibles Posted: 02 May 2011 05:40 PM PDT  The Incredibles 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack Writer/Director Brad Bird Starring Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Lee, Spencer Fox, Sarah Vowell Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment Release date: April 12, 2011 We all have our favorite superheroes: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and so on. We watch them in movies and television shows and read about them in comic books and we've been doing this for decades. These superheroes continue to fight crime and bring about justice decade after decade, to the point where we can't imagine our popular culture without them. But what if there were real-life superheroes -- people with super powers, who could fly or had super strength or invisibility? And what if one day, those superheroes we love and have come to rely on were forced to retire forever? That's the premise of writer/director Brad Bird's The Incredibles, the 2004 Disney/Pixar CG-animated film, where "Supers" must hide their extraordinary abilities from the public after a law is paced banning super heroics, forcing these superhuman do-gooders to live ordinary lives [...]      |
| Brian Bendis To Write Marvel MMO; New Details Revealed Posted: 02 May 2011 04:34 PM PDT  Word of Marvel's next try at a massively multiplayer online game (having tried before in a game that would eventually become Champions Online) started last week when they launched an official twitter feed and tumblr account [Read: Marvel Teases Details Of New MMO On Twitter & Tumblr]. Throughout the week, they have been dropping hints as to who would be writing the game, and it should come as no surprise that the game's producers have tasked Marvel's biggest writer. It was announced on Thursday at an event in San Francisco that Brian Michael Bendis, writer of The Avengers, Moon Knight, and Ultimate Spider-Man, would be writing the game. That was not the biggest announcement of the event though. No, the big news would be that the Marvel MMO will not only be a free to play game, but will also allow you to play as your favorite Marvel super. Bendis revealed that the game will allow players to take the roles of their favorite characters including Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, and even Squirrel Girl, among many many others. This alone will already set it apart from DC Universe Online, which relies on characters to make their own characters and only allows users to play the big DC characters in very limited areas. Bendis also revealed that the main villain of the game will be Dr. Doom [...]      |
| TARDISblend 24: Day of the Moon Posted: 02 May 2011 01:43 PM PDT  The battle against The Silents continues in Day of the Moon, as the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his companions form a plan to begin a revolution against the strange aliens who use their post-hypnotic suggestive powers to control to human race. The Doctor has a plan, involving Apollo 11 and Neil Armstrong's foot... but the Silents may prove to become the Doctor's most dangerous adversaries of all time... During TARDISblend 24, we review the events of Doctor Who Day of the Moon, and discuss the possibilities of who the strange little girl (Sydney Wade) was in this episode -- as well as the jaw-dropping cliffhanger involving her at the end of the episode! We take a look at the complex relationship and tragic love story between The Doctor and River Song (Alex Kingston), and how he wants to run off to new adventures at the conclusion of the episode as opposed to finding out more about the mysterious little girl and The Silents. We also examine the character of Canton Everett Delaware III (Mark Sheppard) and ponder him making another appearance in Doctor Who down the line. But more importantly, we speculate on the importance of Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), and how significant her role will be during this series. All this and more on the latest TARDISblend!

| ‘The King’s Speech’ Star Guy Pearce Cast In Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ Posted: 02 May 2011 12:43 PM PDT  It's being reported that yet another incredibly talented actor, Guy Pearce, has been cast in director Ridley Scott's upcoming movie, Prometheus, which is the currently filming prequel to his 1979 horror classic, Alien. It's unclear what role Pearce will be playing, but he joins a fantastic existing cast that includes Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, X-Men: First Class), Noomi Rapace (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), Charlize Theron (Monster, The Road), Idris Elba (The Losers, Thor), Sean Harris (24 Hour Party People, The Borgias), Kate Dickie (The Pillars of the Earth), Rafe Spall (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), and Logan Marshall-Green (Devil, Across the Universe). Pearce is perhaps best known for his work as the lead in Christopher Nolan's Memento, but has also appeared in titles such as L.A. Confidential, The Proposition, and The King's Speech, among many others. Word of how much Prometheus is actually connected to Scott's Alien has varied over the months, but at last word it sounds like it is in fact set in that world and we will likely see the creatures.

| Sneak Peek At Upcoming Book ‘The Marvel Art of Mike Deodato’ Posted: 02 May 2011 11:03 AM PDT  Mike Deodato began his career as a mainstream funny book artist at Marvel Comics working on The Avengers and Thor. Some of his most recent work for the House of Ideas includes Dark Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man, and Thuderbolts. Marvel Comics has assembled some of his "greatest hits" if you will into one massive hardcover called The Marvel Art of Mike Deodato. "Since I was a kid, I'd loved art books collecting my favorite artists. More recently, I've been thrilled to see works of comic book artists taken more seriously," said Deodato. "To be featured among talents such as Joe Quesada and Marko Djurdjevic in a book like this makes me awfully happy. My dad, who bought me all my early Frazetta hardcovers, was beaming with pride when I told him Marvel was doing one about me. I feel honored." [...]      |
| Check Out These 11 New Images From ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1′ Posted: 02 May 2011 07:09 AM PDT  Images from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 have been popping up slowly but surely, showing us just a tease of what's to come in this first part of the final installment of the vampire saga -- a holiday, a honeymoon, a certain wedding night. Now, Summit Entertainment has released 11 new images from Breaking Dawn Part 1. Check them out here below. There's no blood and gore or sex just yet in these stills, but I'm guessing if you know what happens in the Breaking Dawn book, then you'll be able to ascertain what's happening in this scenes. There's definitely what appears to be danger and urgency, as well as a little romance, and possibly even a shot from the wedding [...]      |
