X-Files: 10th Season?

I spoke to Chris Carter today, yes I spoke to God himself! I asked him about the appalling 9th season ending, and asked if there were going to be any one-off episodes in the future, building up to the 2012 invasion. Chris smiled, and said that hopefully (kneeling down and touching the wooden floor) if there were to be a 10th season, that I'd like where the direction of the show was going. It seems that Chris was very excited, and just needs the network's go-ahead for SEASON NUMBER 10!!!

He then gave 2 tickets to my friend (whom got his attention), this means tomorrow, I'm going down the red carpet with them!!! It was a surreal, yet an orgasmic experience, I think ejaculation is allowed.....

Terminator: Salvation (update)

So it's been a week, and Comic-Con has had a sneak peak, I'll upload the video as soon as I can, however there is a video conference. Also McG's blog on the official site (http://rss.warnerbros.com/terminatorsalvation/) reveals that he realises that this is no ordinary movie, and extra care not to upset hardcore fans must be taken. He has worked close with James Cameron, and was working with Stan Winston to make sure everything is within the Terminator lore. It is interesting that the trilogy before is being treated as a separate chapter, and this part is almost a separate box-set, and so can give fans a choice to completely ignore this movie, even though under free will you can ignore any of them, however it doesn't mean I'll have to update any box-sets.

McG's guidance counsellor - James Cameron

Anyway I feel re-assured by what was said at comic-con, and look forward to a longer trailer, and maybe even an illegally downloaded scene (lawl, just joking movie industry, I'm one of you).

However on another side, I cannot get excited by this film, however I think it might be worth streaming it ( just joking again ;-) ).

The question remains

1) Could McG actually direct something good?! Could hell freeze over?!?

The Man in Question - McG

2) Will it go beyond 'I'll download it with a side-dish of cyanide pills' to 'I might actually pay to see this'?

The fears I have are mainly whom is taking responsibility, he's going to really have to prove that he has it right, I've been scarred before *coughKingdomOfTheCrystalSkullcough*

Resident Evil: Degeneration

What do you get when you cross Resident Evil with 24?

You get Resident Evil: Degeneration of course!

When I first saw the teaser last year I felt that this movie had potrential, and now this traile rhas come out, i feel even more possively about it!

This film is a cannon film which bridges things between RE4 and RE5. It starts off in an airport, where Claire (with a small girl) find themselves trapped inside an airport after a bio-terrorist attack takes place, the terrorists have got hold of Umbrella's T (and possibly G) virus, and are planing to unleash it upon every populated city in America, starting off with this airport as a warning shot.
Leon S Kennedy and a bunch of other US troopers are sent in to take care of the mess, while uncovering a new conspiracy. Will Jack Bauer, er I mean Leon take out the terrorists and uncover the truth? Not without the help of Claire Redfield!

To be honest, this looks like the only decent Resident Evil film, and of course it has NOTHING to do with the previous films. It looks amazing!! Ok, Leon looks younger than he did in RE4, which is weird because this is a year AFTER RE4 and 3 years before RE5. This does seem a little bit like 24, but hey, I love 24, I love Resident Evil, and I love Zombie films! So first impressions are that this film could be a great one, and one I'm NOT going to miss. Paul Mercier and Alyson Court reprise their roles as Leona and Claire.

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop

Yeah, so when E3 came it was a shock for Sony fanboys loosing the exclusivity of Final Fantasy to be ported (probably with reduced graphics?) to the 360. However 360 fanboys also got a shock at E3, not only from Sony's answer to Halo, which is a 250 multiplater online war game, but tthey also lost an exclusive title: Dead Rising!

Dead Rising is a game which is basically one big tribute to Dawn of the Dead. You are a news photographer trying to find the scoop of the century, eventually fining himslelf inside a shopping mall with litterally THOUSANDS of the undead.

Well it seems that Capcom are complete corperate whores, and have decided to break yet another exclusivity deal *coughresidentevil4cough* and port it to......

The Nintendo Wii

In-case you forgot what one looks like

So now 360 fanboys everywhere are angry that an "inferior" console is getting yet another lost exclusive, yet they have gained a PS3 one? Is there no pleaseing these 360 fanboys?

A Typical 360 Fanboy

The Nintendo Wii version will use an 'advanced' version of RE4's engine, and is being built totally all over again.
The graphics look decent (well the do require more zombies on screen than in RE4, you are going to have to make a sacrifice somewhere, anyway D.R. on the 360 wasn’t amazing either), and the gameplay of RE4 Wii edition was very welcome. IMO it was great, if only to piss off 360 fanboys!


Anyway I can't wait to mush up some undead, I've been chopping up corpses at my local graveyard but it never feels the same unless they're coming at you wanting literally apiece of you :(

So despite the graphical limitations of the Wii (compared to the 360) I'm very much looking forward to swinging the Wiimote (maybe it will use the new Wiimote add-on to increase sensitivity?!) to lawnmower some undead to shreds. While Dead Rising 2 (Vegas?) is on it's way, who knows, it might be ported to the Wii too? Or maybe even the Playstaion 3!

First Screenshots

Watchmen

Yes, I know I'm late, but it isn't exactly that anyone is reading this blog yet!

Anyway I loved the graphic novel, however I'm not such a large fan that I deserve to make this post, so I might even hand over this post to another person who can REALLY give it their full criticism, so I'm giving a small review....

Well what can I say? I'm looking forward to this film. the Trailer


is impressive, however I'm reserving my judgement until a later trailer, the film looks like it has potential to be great, but as Alan Moore said "I don't think Watchmen can me truly expressed in a film" which I totally agree. A film compresses all the depth, all the idoligy, the sheer expanse of a story, and compresses it into two hours of viewing pleasure. So what I recommend everyone who sees this movie to do is to read the novel first. This shouldn't be treated like an average comic book movie, this one is a one-off, it isn't like Spiderman in which you can pick characters and enemies and write your own universe to suit your creative vision. This is a single novel with visual guides. Lets just hope that Solid Snake (David Hayeter) has written it well. Only time can tell.

Solid Snake wrote the Watchmen Movie

PS: Malin Akerman as Laurie Juspeczyk / Silk Spectre II looks extremely hot...














Anyway a more detailed review will come later, all I can say for now is that I can't wait to see more!

Watch! Important
