Green Lantern: First Flight (2009) Movie Review

It hasn’t been easy finding a decent D.C. Comics live-action movie without the words “Bat” or “Knight” in the title nowadays. Luckily for fans of the veteran publishing house, the company has found other ways to bring their famous characters to life – direct-to-DVD animation....

Two New Astro Boy Images

Just got in two new images from David Bower’s CG movie “Astro Boy”, based on the popular Japanese character. Still not sure if this thing will piss off more fans than it creates, but the first image, with Astro Boy confronting a giant robot, looks very cool. A thrilling tale of a true...

New Planet 51 Poster

The CG animated movie “Planet 51″ has a pretty nifty premise: what if there are other alien life out there, and they regard us as the “alien invaders”? The premise actually sounds a bit like “Battle for Terra”, except I believe “Planet 51″ is all comedy,...

New Trailer and Poster for Astro Boy

Here’s the second teaser trailer for the upcoming CGI movie “Astro Boy”, based on the Japanese manga/anime. It actually looks very good, better than I had expected, actually. Then again, I don’t know the series all that well, so I’m just going by what my layman’s eyes...

A Sci-Fi Injection For Your Daily Commute

I love the fact that many of the new cars I see coming off the lines are starting to look like the concept cars I have been seeing on the cover of pulpy Sci-Fi novels for years. The designers imagine these cars, but in the past the brain dead executives in charge of the car companies have refused to...

New Monsters vs. Aliens Images

Dreamworks Animation’s “Monsters vs. Aliens” has hit written all over it. If you weren’t bowled over by how funny the trailers were, then you probably don’t have a pulse. And I’m usually not one to go for these comedy kiddie animated movies, either, but I gotta admit,...

First Teaser Trailer for the Astroboy CGI Movie

I’ve never actually seen any of the Astroboy cartoons or read the mangas, so I can’t tell you if this English version of the Astroboy character (or what little we see of it in this very short teaser trailer) bears any resemblance to the original character. What I do know is that, well, this...

Sci-Fi Trailer: Monsters vs. Aliens

I’ll be damn if the new Dreamsworks CGI flick “Monsters vs. Aliens” doesn’t look like it has all the makings of another major international hit for the company. I’ve always thought that “The Incredibles” by Pixar was one of the best CGI movies I’ve seen,...

3 Minutes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Animated Series

Although I kind of enjoyed the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off show Angel for a while there, I never really got into the Buffy show itself. I don’t know, it just never really appealed to me. But man, do the show’s fans love it. I mean, these guys are fanatical about the show and its universe....
