10 Worst Moments In James Bond Film Franchise
7 September 2011 9:38 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
James Bond isn’t always smooth. James Bond isn’t always cool. As a lifelong fan, it pains me to say it — but, sometimes, James Bond = total pants. Over 22 films (oh, all right, Bond geeks: 23 including the non-Eon produced Never Say Never Again) there have been some excruciating hands-over-the-eyes moments that make you go (for want of a better word): “Bleh.”
I don’t mean continuity errors or bloopers. I mean those scenes which make you slap your forehead in disbelief and shout ‘No, no, No!’ at the screen.
You know what I mean: Roger Moore snowboarding to the sounds of The Beach Boys; Roger Moore climbing into a submarine that’s disguised as an iceberg. Roger Moore climbing into a submarine that’s disguised as a crocodile. Roger Moore in space. Roger Moore (do you sense a theme here?) driving a motorised gondola. Grace Jones doing anything.

Elysium (2013): Matt Damon First Set Photos, Armadyne Video
11 August 2011 2:13 AM, PDT | Film-Book | See recent Film-Book news »
Matt Damon Elysuim Set Photos, Armadyne Video. The first Elysium Matt Damon set photos, Armadyne video for Neill Blomkamp‘s 2013 sci-fi film show a bleeding Matt Damon on set in Vancouver, Canada. Little is known of the plot of Elysuim right now but what is will be very enticing to sci-fi movie fans, especially with Matt Damon sporting what looks like a metallic exoskeleton in these set photos.
On some of the stars in the film and a little on Elysium‘s plot:
Jodie Foster will portray “a head of state on an alien planet.” It’s not known what role William Fichtner is taking in Blomkamp’s project, but we know that Damon is portraying an ex-con and actor Wagner Moura will be the film’s main villain, who is described as having “a crazy sense of humor.” Not much else has been revealed about Elysium, other than a »

Mortal Kombat (1995)
Stars: Robin Shou, Christopher Lambert, Linden Ashby, Talisa Soto, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Bridgette Wilson | Written by Kevin Droney | Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson
Based on the video game of the same name, Mortal Kombat tells the story of a group of martial artists plucked from Earth by the mysterious Lord Rayden to fight in an ancient tournament that sees otherworldy realms compete for the right to conquer the losing realms. So far Outworld has nine wins against Earth, so… so what!
To hell with a synopsis. Just know this: a bunch of good guy martial artists take on a bunch of bad guy martial artists in a collection of some of the best videogame-inspired fight scenes ever committed to celluloid. All the key characters from the game are here – Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Rayden, Johnny Cage, Kano, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, even the ridiculous Goro.
One of the best movies ever made from a videogame, »

Blu-Ray Review: Original ‘Mortal Kombat’ Hits HD Timed With New Game
11 May 2011 10:54 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The video game world of “Mortal Kombat” has been reinvigorated for a new generation through Warner’s excellent new release and the company wisely saw the opportunity to provide something for fans who need to put the controller down every once in a while but don’t want to leave the universe with Blu-ray releases for Paul Anderson’s “Mortal Kombat” and John R. Leonetti’s “Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.”
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
1995’s “Mortal Kombat” hasn’t aged particularly well but, then again, it was never that great to begin with. Fighting games, even ones with character backgrounds as potentially rich as Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, don’t exactly translate to the big screen and the cast of Paul Anderson’s action flick is lackluster at best. No offense meant to Bridgette Wilson or Christopher Lambert, but there’s a reason that “Mortal Kombat” wasn’t exactly a breakout hit. »

‘Mortal Kombat’ is now a Download and You Can Win a Copy
21 April 2011 11:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
In 1992, there may have been nothing bigger and more exciting than the video game Mortal Kombat. Wisely, Midway Games created their own universe with six realms which have unique backstories, all created by the Elder Gods. Players could manipulate their favorite surviving warrior — Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, and Jax, — and fight for survival in do-or-die tournaments.
The phenomenon was huge, spawning follow-up games, merchandise, and, of course, movies. Now available for download this week is the first Mortal Kombat film from 1995. The movie can be downloaded from iTunes and played on your iPod, phone, or tablet.
Released on August 18, it grossed $23 million and was proven critic proof. After earning over $70 million, it gave birth to 1997’s Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. The first film had the benefit of Paul W. S. Anderson’s early work, showing us what the director can do with action and other realities.

New this Week: ‘Water for Elephants’ & ‘The King’s Speech (DVD)’
20 April 2011 7:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Hitting movie theaters this weekend:
African Cats – Samuel L. Jackson (Narration)
Deep Gold – Bebe Pham, Jaymee Ong, Michael Gleissner
Madea’s Big Happy Family – Tyler Perry, Loretta Devine, Bow Wow
Water for Elephants – Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz
Movie of the Week
The Stars: Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz
The Plot: A veterinary student (Pattinson) abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet.
The Buzz: This period piece looks to be a well put together romantic drama. I enjoyed Pattinson’s general vibe in the trailer; thankfully a far cry from his brooding ham-bake of the Twilight films. Witherspoon is winsome, I typically love her in her more dramatic pieces — aside from the laborious Vanity Fair. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of on-screen magic this pair can conjure up. Happy to see Christolph Waltz again, »

DVD, Blu-Ray, and Video Game Releases: April 19th - Mortal Kombat and More!
19 April 2011 1:05 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
It is Mortal Kombat week as the new video game arrives from Warner Bros. Taking advantage of the buzz, the two theatrical films based on the game are being re-released on Blu-ray as well.
The first Mortal Kombat was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Christopher Lambert, Robin Shou, Linden Ashby and Bridgette Wilson while the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, was directed by John R. Leonetti and stars Robin Shou, Talisa Soto and James Remar.
If you need help with the gameplay, don't forget the Mortal Kombat Prima Official Game Guide, both paperback and hardcover editions.
Don't fret; there are a couple other less-than-notable horror titles dropping this week, too. You can decide for yourselves if Tokyo Gore Police and Hyenas are worth the space on your library shelf.

Blu-ray Review: Mortal Kombat Annihilation
10 April 2011 9:01 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Warner Brothers' Mortal Kombat Annihilation is the obvious follow up to Mortal Kombat. This movie lacks on so many levels and seemed rushed. It does follow the video game characters and their tricks and weapons they use but doesn't introduce them well and the story is very weak. The Blu-ray runs 95 minutes of PG-13 special effects cheesy action.
John R. Leonetti directs this follow-up that is a visually enjoying watch on Blu-ray but it just doesn't have any new character development. Robin Shou reprises his role as Liu Kang who leads almost an entirely recast group of heroes in this sequel, we still have Talisa Soto as Kitana who joins Kang and also Chris Conrad (Johnny Cage) for about a minute unitl he meets his early doom. To me the Blu-ray is still entertaining simply to watch the special effects. The Blu-ray offers a much clearer watch and any »
