  • ‘Lone Survivor’ Trailer: Heroes for More Than One Day

    lonesurvivortrailer

    Director Peter Berg‘s last movie was Universal’s gigantic Battleship. By comparison, his new movie, Lone Survivor, is really sneaking up on us. The first trailer for the film was released relatively quietly today, and it shows Mark Wahlberg in the role of a Navy SEAL on a mission to take out a Taliban figure. It’s a true story, based on the book Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10, by Marcus Luttrell. The actual tale has gone down as a dramatic moment in recent military history, and this trailer suggests that Berg is taking it very seriously.

    Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch and Eric Bana are also part of the story, but as the title suggests, things don’t go super-well for some of them. Oh, and as soon as the trailer really kicks into gear it plays out to the tune of Peter Gabriel mournfully covering David Bowie’s “Heroes.” Check out the trailer below.

    Lone Survivor will open for an Oscar-qualifying run in NYC on December 27, then go wide on January 10, 2014. Moviefone has the trailer.

    “Lone Survivor” tells the harrowing true story of the four members of SEAL Team 10 — Marcus Luttrell, Mike Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), and Matt Axelson (Ben Foster) — who, on June 28, 2005, were assigned to carry out “Operation Red Wings.” The mission was compromised, and three of the four men didn’t return home.

  • ‘The Wolverine’ – What Did You Think?

    Wolverine Banner small

    After years of development, the second standalone film featuring Marvel’s favorite claw-wielding mutant is here. The Wolverine had a hell of a development path, but finally came together with Hugh Jackman reprising the title role under the direction of James Mangold. Their inspiration was the mini-series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller that cemented Wolverine’s popularity in the early ’80s.

    The team took quite a few liberties with Claremont/Miller — characters are changed, and with them so are some of the broad strokes of the story — but there’s a definite path that links the films.

    Is that link, along with the film’s other positive factors, enough to make this one work? Let us know below — what did you think of The Wolverine? Is this a lot better than the first standalone movie, or just a bit better? (It can’t possibly be worse; on that point I think everyone can agree.) As always with posts of this sort, spoilers are encouraged in the comment thread below.

  • How Many Sega Genesis Games Are There

    I remember being initially disappointed with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for the Sega Genesis. It was definitely a fun game, but it was short. Much too short, in fact. After being spoiled with the epic qualities of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the third installment hardly felt like a worthwhile second sequel. Everything about the third Sonic game felt so anti-climactic. The game was polished, no doubt about that, but everything about it was so incomplete. By the time I reached the final boss and defeated him after eight measly hits (the last boss in Sonic 2 needed twelve hits on order to be damaged), I found myself asking: why is that it? Why does the third Sonic game feel so unfinished? Anyone familiar with the history of Sonic games surely knows the answer to this question. It felt unfinished because it literally was an unfinished game.

    UWOL Features 55 Levels where the player needs to find money on a millionaire mansion that is haunted by our classic monsters. This game is also available for SEGA Genesis, but there is no intention of ever getting a cart release.

    Sonic the Hedgehog was first introduced to the world in 1991 on the Sega Genesis gaming system. The little hedgehog sped his way straight into our hearts from day one. It was a fresh take on the normal side scrolling, save the princess style adventure that gamers were used to back in that time.

    As the first installment of the console wars between the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and the Sega Master System comes to an end in 1989, both companies are chomping at the bit for a rematch in the American market. Sure enough, in August of 1989 Sega released its fourth generation 16-bit Sega Mega Drive – known under the moniker Sega Genesis in the United States – which is countered in August of 1991 when Nintendo would release its Super Nintendo Entertainment System, also a fourth generation 16-bit videogame console.

    If you used to play Nintendo or Sega Genesis in the past you will be familiar with the gameplay of slambots, simple jump and run action adventure with retro graphic. You will play as slammer, a robot who jumps around to collect coin and beat some monster. The control is simple, you need to tilt your smartphone and then slammer will jump automatically. You can also hold and tap to make it slower and make a correct jump in each obstacle. If you jump higher you will see a number of coins to pick up on every level. This coin will be count as your currency to buy several things such as new character, or more powerful slammer.

    My parents scoffed at the high price of the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, so I was never able to play the game on my Sega Genesis as a kid. Much later, while I was in college, I purchased a Sonic anthology collection for my Nintendo Gamecube. After unlocking the ability to combine the Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles into its superior dual form, I was finally able to play the third installment of Sonic as it had always been intended.

  • Snyder’s New Superman Movie May Be Titled ‘Batman vs. Superman’

    Batman vs. Superman Logo

    It’s either Batman vs. Superman, or Superman vs. Batman, or one of those two. As we all know thanks to the huge announcement at Comic-Con on Saturday, Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel sequel is being prepared as a Batman and Superman movie. Many have been calling it the World’s Finest movie, referencing the World’s Finest Comics from the 40’s, the first ever Superman and Batman (and Robin) team-up. However, in a brief quote from writer David S. Goyer, it sounds like they may actually be pitting the two superheroes against each other. The announcement was brief and included no title or info, so the speculation continues. ›››
