Tron Legacy Trailer

I posted the Tron Legacy Teaser a while back, but that was more of a visual effects test. Now we have an actual trailer to look at. I cannot wait to see this film. Hopefully it will go over better with audiences today then the first film did back in 1982. Also, I have to say that I like the direction Daft Punk is taking the music. It is a departure from the original’s music, but this movie looks darker and grittier, and the music reflects that well.

CLARITY

My friend over at Strike a Pose Films has released a new film! This is the same guy who created the awesome System Shock 2: The First Encounter, so go check it out!

CLARITY is STRIKE A POSE!!! Films first attempt at the mystery/thriller genre, and a more serious take in tone than what we usually offer. A unique head-scratcher with flavors of Lynch, Nolan, and our own brand of nuttiness.

In CLARITY, Sam Anderson plays the Detective, a man who is seeking for answers, and possibly a score to settle. Damien McCoy plays the Boy, a young man who is seeking his lost girlfriend, who disappeared without a trace just the night before. Lurking about in his memories is Whitney Arkin, in her first STRIKE A POSE!!! role, as the Girl: A victim caught in the manacles of a serial killer known only as the Venetian. In his stunning first performance since Ascension, Bob Novich returns to the digital screen as the killer, bringing terror to the scenes.

As the Boy tries to convince the Detective of his girlfriend’s existence, the Detective begins to submerge himself in his own memories of his lost love, a woman taken from him under unnervingly similar circumstances. Can they find the girl in time? Or is she just a figment of the boy’s imagination? Why doesn’t she appear in any phone book or database? What is the game the Venetian is playing?

You can watch Clarity here.

BT: These Hopeful Machines

So, I have had this CD for about a week now and I am already set to declare it the best album that I have heard in years. If you were to look at my Zune social page, you would see that I pretty much have listened to nothing else since. I am simply blown away by this album. Not only is every track fantastic, but there is a huge variety in style here. This album is a perfect example of how BT doesn’t really have a genera, he just makes beautiful music that you want to listen to over and over again. I truly believe that this is one of those albums that absolutely anyone can listen to and get at the very least some enjoyment out of. I highly recommend it to everyone. Plus, at $12.99 for 2 hours of great music its an absolute steal.

Duke Nukem Fan Film Trailer

Well, I watched this trailer for the Duke Nukem Fan Film by Finnish studio HMC, and I cannot stop laughing. I am not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but I am certainly looking forward to this one. Hopefully it will actually be released.

Avatar

I just got home from watching Avatar a few hours ago and I have to say that was one of the most impressive movies that I have ever seen. Everything about it was top notch, from the acting, plot, visuals, ect. This is one of those movies that you will watch with your mouth wide open in awe of what you are seeing on screen during every second of the film. It is really incredible that a film like this is even possible. The attention to detail in every little aspect of the world, and the state of the art CG is so mind-blowing that I fully expect Avatar to be the benchmark for quality CG in movies for years to come. I don’t think anyone has ever pulled off such extensive CG and live action in such a seamless way before. Also, it’s not overdone and never gets in the way or takes the place of solid storytelling. It is simply a tool to make this incredible world that James Cameron had in his head come to life for all to see. You really get sucked into this world, and become completely unaware that what you are seeing isn’t real. If you can, you absolutely must see the film on 3D, preferably in IMAX. This is one of those movies that you must see in theaters. Go out and see it while they still can!

Absolutely amazing.
