Crappy A Reborn

cap is getting reborn. and he's getting the same writers who killed him off, to write his tale. and its so retarded, cos batman is getting his reborn storyline, and cap is supposed to measure up to that? like seriously? cap sales has always been such a low low figure. and marvel really doesnt have anything better to do than to place steve rogers in a losing reborn match against batman?

and i got my grant morrison, frank quitely, batman and robin, so you know who im supporting. ( but i still hate most of GM's tales, including FCrisis!)

g and b even have pre sales for cap. and i just think that the hype is totally not worth it. its been a few years and i barely even notice he's gone. anyways, you can judge for yourself with the crappy trailer above.

jonah hex and his transformer!

so i m guessing that after her robot flick, megan fox will do a little transforming in between sexy slut and angelic saint in jonah hex. (sort of like the tudung transformers we have here.)



josh brolin plays hex. and he looks too nice of a guy still. i kinda wished that they could get someone to fill the thomas jane look:

iron man 2 and Marvel's Movies!

at least, with iron monger, you knew that there would be a hell of a fight scene even if it was with an elderly man. but cmon, with this first look at whiplash armour, he's so gonna get owned by iron man, i guess that justifies the need for more baddies/cast like, black widow, justin hammer, bla bla, hawkeye.

heres the posters for upcoming marvel flicks.


like the addition of assembling before the date on the avengers poster. its the details that gets to me. and the iron man poster is kinda stupid with just an additional 2 behind. i could ahve done it if i got the soft copy for the the 1st movie's poster. Bah!

Green Lantern: First look at First Flight

heard about this movie back when i was reading up stuff on the wonder woman animated movie. and i ve only website is and of course, the glorious trailer that shows us of things to come.

the trailer shows us two things: HalJor will be shown the oan way. with the entire corps and stuff. and the live action film, will prolly be the same thing you are seeing in 2d come july.

i hope if they intend to stretch the franchise, that for the live action film, they dont immediately show the guardians and the aliens till prehaps the last bit, sort of like, how nick fury was in iron man. then they can further build that up come GL2: the sinestro war. but thats just me.

till then, heres your the so-so movie trailer that i m hoping to be good and not like superman: doomsday.

Surrogates: the movie, the book, the prequel

theres so much things going on for this book. first off, i just realized that the movie is out this sept 25th. so mark your calenders geeky boy, u. and it stars bruce willis as the lead, playing a detective whose job is to investigate who wanna rid the world of the surrogates, the androids created for us, lazy humans day to day interaction without leaving home.

check out the trailer below:


looks like the setting has a little i,robot thing going on.

well, since i heard the movie was coming out and the book was quite good for an original sci fi story, (man, i have been using this word alot). i just had to get my grubby hands on it and so i did.



turns out, it reads like WATCHMEN. theres these documentation in between the chapters (or issues). and its kinda cool. though its obvious that the idea behind the layout was from watchmen as the writers also credits watchmen to some point at the end. so it really builds up your expectations on this one. but sad to say, it was just an okay read. the pacing all rights, but it doesnt really do much for suspense. and i felt the "cut to" scenes were kinda awkward. like on a spread, there would be one scene five mins before and the next page would be five mins later. couldnt they just shifted the next scene to the next spread?

the art is not really all that detailed but thats the artist style. i like the linework. very ashley wood. but still not quite. he character designs are interesting. but the thing that bug me the most is some of the documentation has no link to the main story. so i feel kinda cheated that i spent the extra 5 mins reading 8 point text for naught.

but i guess that leads up to the next book, Surrogates, flesh and bone, due this coming july in comicbooksotres everyewhere. also published by topshelf.



basically, its a prequel to the first book. and from the preview, i guess this time it touches more on the documentations that were in the first book. ahh... so i didnt waste my time afterall.

5 page preview is over here!



nice eh.. go check out the book (plural if you intend to get the july book too) if you can. maybe it just didnt do wonders for me but hey if some people like it, maybe its me not the book. anyhow, its still an interesting read.

so i give it a

Movie Review: Failure to Terminate

Caught Terminator Salvation over the weekend over at the cathay. kinda pissed that i gotten the first 4th or 5th row from the front. but hey, thankfully its the grand cathay. so its big enough to ensure an enjoyable viewing. i caught the curtains parting and there was such a magical buzz in the air as the crowd was woo-ing and clapping when the curtains parted. though i may have started it. but all in all it was a wonderful atmosphere that everyone there has a wee bit of fanboy (/girl) in them by following the terminator series up to this point.

Having caught all three predecessors, and reading up as much reviews (mostly negative), and asking those who have already caught it, i must say i was well prepared going in to see this disappointment of the year. the plot was sketchy. the character development was sparse. and the details that go into the movie are all twisted up. though it maybe a sci-fi flick, it definitely ignores all manner of physics. a 233525345677-ton harvester manages to sneak its way onto an unsuspecting shack. any human punched by the same steel-crushing arm of a terminator merely has to shrug it off to run away. plus, no Moon Bloodgood's boobies.

stupid cut scene. it like so obvious that there was a gaping hole. i mean, the editting could at least replaced something in there to replace the boobies. but nooo... they decided that a gaping hole would be suitable way to make the young ones believe that no-sense artistic direction are in mainstream. and why is there a young black mute kid anyways, and why is Mrs conner expecting? why are the people so happily making like bunnies to repopulate the earth? unless there's some policy i didnt catch, i dont think feb 14 really matters all that much after judgement day.

but as i knew about all these and more before catching the film, i just put out my hand and said BAH! and proceeded to enjoy myself. the CGI was superb! all the awesome bots. the explosions. really makes u wonder if the robots are gonna switch back to their transportation mode anytime soon. its not a great film or even a good film. but its an enjoyable one if you just throw all logic aside and take everything at face value. when john conner asks u to give him a chance to delay the demise of the terminators so he can go on a suicide mission, you just DO IT! hes the fucking prophet! he knows what's best regardless how vague he may be. Arnold's face CGIed on another bodybuilder's body seemed fairly convincing and that was just one of the couple of references to the previous films. ah, it really takes you back.

the story really is so crappy. but the main reason for this being a huge disappointment, other than McG at the helm of this, is the rushed job that T4 had to go through. but it still seems highly likely that T5 will be well on its way soon. just hope it will be MUCH MUCH better than the turd that we have been waiting six years for.

transformers 2: TV spots and new bot!

and i made a rhyme on the headline there. well, three tv spots to show just how awesome Transformers 2 is gonna be. more footage of robots. more explosions. more transforming. no bitchslapping optimus prime. maybe from the previous two trailers, he will only just be tossed around twice. well, i guess, thats a good record as any for a robotic leader.

"In Transformers lore, Sideways is a gleeful troublemaker, for whom chaos is its own reward. His every action misleads and deceives, be it for his own twisted amusement, or for whatever deeper agenda he may be working towards. In truth, this cunning and deadly warrior is an agent of the chaos-bringer, Unicron, and is charged with the task of appearing as both Autobot and Decepticon in order to cause confusion amongst both factions and prevent them from allying together against his planet-eating master.

In Revenge of the Fallen, Sideways will appear as an Audi R8. His role in the story is still not completely known, but the first trailer showed him being chased through a building wall by various Autobots, so the potential for some double-agent action is still out there. Have a look at his robot mode below, courtesy of Michael Bay."



i love quotation marks. it gives me so much reason to be lazy. but i just think that its time that theres the antihero robot. like the Dinobot from the Beast Wars series (the only transformers series i know and come to love.)
