The Angry Bear

This review was late. I undertsand it was late and for that I’m sorry. But do you understand how hard it was to write this thing up, and NOT make it sound like I was a fanboy, or going all out and ripping it to shreds? With a movie like “The Last Airbender,” you have to be careful and not overdo it, otherwise all of your points are going to be wasted and thrown into obscurity. Unfortunately, I feel as if I did just that… or maybe because of Shyamalan, it’s the final TWIST. (more…)

I know what you’re thinking: “But… you said you were off… AND a second review this week?” Yes and yes. I know what I said but I’m not posting, am I? HA! Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Anyway, I was asked to write up something, in lieu of that abomination that was Jonah Hex. So, I got you a little bit of Toy Story. Let me tell you – fantastic. (And I don’t say that often.) (more…)

Thankfully, I came into this movie knowing absolutely nothing about this film. If I had, I think I would have been more irate than I was walking out of it, but who’s counting? Here I am, after wasting a nice amount of my time at the theater and enduring a considerable test of patience. In the end, all you need to know is a case of beer or a fifth of your favorite alcohol will not make this movie any better. (more…)

I can see why this left Angry Bear speechless.  It was indeed pretty awesome.  I completely forgot what I was doing at work (cough) from watching it.  You should let its awesome wash over you, too.  Much like the blood that I’m sure Michael Cera will be copiously gushing the majority of this movie.

It’s now time in E3 where all of the fun and interesting gameplay footage and cinematic awesomeness of games comes out. The one that’s piqued my interest is Tron: Evolution, the upcoming 3D film out of Disney. Now, I grew up with this movie and, like everyone else, wanted a lightbike and disc so bad that it hurt. This game makes it bad enough that I could quite possibly stab a man for it. Check out the cinematic footage for it, then see the gameplay to see what I’m talking about. (more…)

So this popped up last night, but I was slammed with work and everything else going on with E3 to get it taken care of. LucasArts, in all of its infinite glory, has pushed out one of their cinematic trailers for their upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic a day early before the E3 unveiling and gameplay footage. I mean, it did what it was supposed to and made my mouth water, because now I want more. Thankfully, the live gameplay event from Bioware and LucasArts is just tomorrow… but that still means I have to wait…

So when they told me that a second game was coming out for the The Force Unleashed, I questioned it profusely. The original, though it had a great concept and an alright protagonist (ish?), it lacked in execution, canon, and for the love of God how many damned glitches were there?! It got to the point where my friends and I would get so fed up with playing, trying to take out this room or Shock Troopers or that room of Phase Troopers that we would just toss the controller in frustration. Not that we are bad players by any means (except chasef)… it just sucked that badly.

So then we come around to this sequel, which again was another oddity considering the first game left no room for a sequel. Your main character died – in both endings – how are you going to come back from that? Turns out they found a way. Watch the video after the jump and I’ll explain more in detail here in a second.

The latest Sorcerer’s Apprentice trailer is up, showing a little more about the makings of a magician and how Jay Baruchel really got roped up in the mess that he is. You know, I was actually more concerned with him in this movie, and not Nick Cage – Cage just needs to run around and act crazy… he can do that – though Baruchel looks like he’s settled into the part quite well.

The big selling point to the newest installment of Guitar Hero isn’t its music as one might think, but its guitar. Activision has done what nobody else would have ever thought of and taken away the awesome-ness that was stickers to put in… replaceable heads! That’s right, now you can change out the head of your instrument and put in whatever you choose. So say you want to put on that fun little axe bottom, but keep the heart-shaped top. Now you can!

The simplicity in it works by stuffing all of the electronics in the neck and fret, leaving the rest of the body completely moveable. It has also already been confirmed that Gamestop will have some fancy pre-order heads, just like everything else. Joy.

When this movie crept up on people’s radar today, it freaked them out. Plain and simple. Nobody knew if it was a precursor to a new game, since E3 was upcoming, or if this was an elongated trailer to an upcoming movie. Considering the graphic nature of the short, the well-designed choreogrphy (done by Larnell Stovall) and with acting talent from actors like Michael Jai White (as Jax), everyone was all up in arms.

Yet, according to CHUD, this is a setup for a new movie, straight up. This I have no problem with. Considering the abismal failure the other two Mortal Kombat movies were, I have no problem watching this. Give me your opinion and then see what you think. Bear in mind, this is NSFW. (more…)
