"Inception: The Cobol Job"

Yahoo! Movies released Inception: The Cobol Job, an official prequel comic that leads up to the beginning of the film. It is written by Jordan Goldberg who was a producer in Inception, The Dark Knight and The Prestige.

Personally I decided not to read it before seeing the film because I want to be introduced to the world and the characters through the film. Unfortunately the distributors in Greece are idiots and I will have to wait until August 24 to watch the film (and then read the comic). Fuck!

Second Scott Pilgrim trailer on line

Today the facebook page of the film Scott Pilgrim VS. The World reached 100,000 fans and they released the second theatrical trailer for the film which is even more awesome than the first one!

Watch it here or preferably in Glorious Quicktime HD.




A film based on a comic, filled with video game references and directed by one of the geekiest directors of all time. Yup. I'm gonna need to see that!

New Iron Man 2 trailer hits the web

I have a feeling this summer is going to be a good one, at least movie-wise (Inception can't get released soon enough).

Iron Man 2 will be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer and from the newly released trailer it seems to be a very fun movie that doesn't offend the intelligence of the audience.

Enjoy Iron Man and War Machine in action!



For better quality get the trailer in glorious quicktime HD from Apple's site

Watchmen: Blood, Latex and Rock 'n Roll

Ok, it's not exactly that, but it sounds like a great title and kinda represents my feelings over the movie. I just got back from the cinema and I am pretty excited. I can safely say that it was an excellent movie. I mean it had it all: good plot, great action, excellent cgi, cool taglines and dialog, humor, blood, more blood, hot women and silly blue dicks. If you are not excited by now I don't know when you will be.

The first part was a plot rollercoster giving us details of the various characters and situations that led to the movie's present. It actually works pretty well since you never get lost even if you never read the comic. It is very interesting to see the development of the story and at some point you start to empathize with some characters. As far as the story goes which I am not going to reveal here I have to say that I am happy. Kouvaristras (who is geekier than I am) wasn't entirely happy with the ending and got Spooky Mulder about it (something about the aliens and where the hell are they) but it really does not matter. It was a great film and everyone that I went to the cinema with fully enjoyed it from start to finish.

The soundtrack of the movie was very good and actually helped with establishing certain situations and feelings about the characters and the story. It included artists from the likes of Jimi Hendrix to Simon and Garfunkel which is very weird for a super hero movie. It worked very well nevertheless. The action was fantastic and was as much as it was needed it to be for us to enjoy it without getting bored. The movie contains a lot of gore scenes with lotsa blood which are very well done as well. At some points you are really going to enjoy mutilations, a fact that is highly disturbing if you ask me, but that's how good the action is.

In IMDB a gave it a nice round 8 which is as much I gave Dark Knight. In fact I think I enjoyed it more than Dark Knight. The pace was better, I liked the characters better and it had hotter women than weird looking S/M secretaries. Its not like someone can compare those two, other than they are both about people walking around in Latex suits, but we had the relevant conversation on the way back. Anyway...go watch it.. you will have great time!
