Hey folks, Harry here... Sergio over at TVweek.Com sent over this - proof of a third season of HEROES - for us to look at. Now sure... as every diehard HEROES freak knew... of course we were getting a 3rd season - we've been obsessing after a truncated, slightly misfiring 2nd season... but now we're eager and hungry for more. It doesn't really tell us much, but what it does tell us - is that perhaps this season will be dealing with a hero, in their attempts to do the right thing... could they cause a greater harm...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I was out most of the day catching up on some end of the week errands and I return to the computer to find the email inbox flooded with readers sending links to Screen Daily who have a story up about a sales company called Velvet Octopus who will be shopping a sequel to DONNIE DARKO at Cannes.

Hey folks, Harry here... As I was watching CNN HD last night - as Lou Dobbs went to commercial - suddenly a green MPAA trailer screen filled as a voice said, "And now an exclusive look at the new STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS trailer" -- And I watched this trailer and felt glee... You know - the modern Star Wars trilogy - which I did enjoy... but I was always conflicted by the CG... it felt like it wanted to be a cartoon. It seemed that George, honestly, was wanting to have absolute visual control... and that really does work best in the animated format.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you own or have been in the immediate vicinity of an XBOX 360 in the last year you've probably played BIOSHOCK. If you haven't, BIOSHOCK was one of the coolest releases on any platform last year.
The game opens with an ocean plane crash. You control the one survivor as he's adrift. As the wreckage of his plane sinks he sees a small, rocky island... weirdly, there's an art deco style building.

The SciFi Channel says:
The cancer-stricken President Laura Roslin and hotheaded pilot Kara Thrace both must make difficult leaps of faith in order to accept an uneasy alliance with the Cylons.
* Nana Visitor, who worked with Ron Moore on “Deep Space Nine,” may turn up this week as Roslin’s fellow cancer victim “Emily Kowlski,” who turns out to be a big Gaius Baltar fan.
* Starbuck and Athena will pay a visit to a basestar.

Hey folks, Harry here... Yes, the film has screened. Yes, these reviews are coming from those screenings. And yes, people are all over the place with the film. Now where am I coming down on all of this?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm doing my best not to let these reviews bring me down. I was shopping last night and picked up some Indiana Jones toys (Belloq and Crystal Skull Indy) as well as some Dark Knight toys (damn ebayers fleecing all the Jokers out of the stores!). I was sent the new DVD box set of all three INDIANA JONES movies and have been watching the special features... RAIDERS is on right now, just finished with one of my favorite scenes, when Marion accidentally hits Indy in the face with the mirror.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I love that above image, created by Gabe Koerner, who you may remember as being one of the central figures of the Star Trek fan doc TREKKIES. It's a beautiful image, something that would be impressive to see on the big screen.

Hey folks, Harry here... I'm not apologetic in the least for my disdain of the worst President in the history of the United States, George Bush Jr. What he has done to this country & to the world outside of our borders is beyond reprehensible. In his 8 years he and his cronies have systematically Tonya Harding'd the good ol U.S. of A. - to such a point that our station in the world order has tumbled, our dollar is becoming increasingly worthless, our homes our being taken away and our brave young men & women are dying for his vanity and war mongering.

Unlike the earlier unofficial version, the official trailer doesn’t employ Foo Fighters, but it does feature more footage!
I’m not entirely certain, but I think the mutants are driving a Klingon bird of prey now!
It hits Nicktoons early next year. Watch the trailer here.

A few weeks back, a ton of character images from Stephen Sommers' bigscreen plundering of G.I. JOE leaked across The Nets. They were quickly banished, but a number of character shots have now surfaced in officialer forms.

There was a big screening of HANCOCK last night; Marlowe sent in his thoughts on the film.
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THIS PIECE - more spoilers than review, actually.
PLEASE NOTE: the version screened last night was incomplete, so the film might change between now and it's early July release.

Greetings! ScoreKeeper here gunning the car around the track in order bring you a glimpse of the musical kaleidoscope that is SPEED RACER (2008).
Being a die hard SPEED RACER fan since I was boy, I had been looking forward to seeing this film since the moment I learned Andy and Larry Wachowski entered pre-production.
