I have been a long time supporter of Chillerama actor ever since I met him at Comic-Con last year. Not only is he a really cool guy, performer and actor, but he’s also quite the humanitarian who is always willing to help the world any way he can. You got to admire that quality in an up and coming star. I recently followed up with Anton after learning about his newest project called ALEXUS that’s currently on Kickstarter. I wanted to find out everything I could about what he’s developing and asked him if he would’t mind sharing it with our readers. Check out the full press release and videos on ALEXUS below and head on over to Anton’s Kickstarter page and find out how you can personally get involved in the making movie magic too.

You can ask anyone that knows me…go ahead…that very little in this life brings me more joy than my anticipation of the dramatic conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight franchise. That’s right. If you are reading this, then somehow I survived and made it through unscathed because the only thing I have had consistently cared about and had on the brain as of late (well not the only thing…lol) has been Tuesday evening’s press screening to the epic finale to the Nolan gangster/crime/superhero saga, boldly titled The Dark Knight Rises. There is no word that accurately describe the level of excitement I had going into the empty theater on Tuesday, nor is there now to describe the exasperate level of satisfaction I possess within as I pound this review out on the Macbook Pro, my weapon of choice. And now…without further ado…I present you The Dark Knight Rises, my most anticipated film of the decade. Yep. You read that right. The decade!

Along with being able to attend the world premiere screening of Starship Troopers: Invasion at Comic Con, I was also very excited to have the opportunity to interview Johnny Rico himself, Casper Van Dien, along with executive producer and screenwriter for the original Starship Troopers, Ed Neumeier, director Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed, Halo Legends), and producer Joseph Chou. It helps that I am a big fan of the original film and found a lot to like about this all-new CGI Animated feature, with its dynamic visual presentation, slick action sequences, and solid handling on expanding the Starship Troopers universe. Coming at the end of a long week, this was a fun one-on-four interview, which was shot on video no less, so be prepared to hear me (offscreen) do my best to talk to these guys about this exciting new feature. Continue on to watch this interview. Continue reading ‘Comic Con 2012: Starship Troopers: Invasion – Video Interview’

Good Will Hunting is a movie that I have always really enjoyed since it came out in 1997 and established Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as big time stars. They won an Oscar for their screenplay, as did Robin Williams for his wonderful performance in the film. It has been 15 years since that film came out and it is now getting a 15th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray, which seems like a good enough reason to revisit the film. The Blu-ray arrives on August 21st and contains both the older special features from previous releases, along with some brand new bonuses. I will be happy to upgrade to Blu-ray for this release, as it is a really solid film that works for a lot of different reasons, which includes the great performances, strong screenplay, nice direction by Gus Van Sant, and the good score by Danny Elfman and songs from Elliot Smith. Continue on to learn more about this upcoming Blu-ray release. Continue reading ‘Good Will Hunting: 15th Anniversary Blu-ray In August – I Like Them Apples’

I am a big fan of the original Starship Troopers film, so I was excited for the idea of an all new release that has come in the form of a CG animated feature from the director of Appleseed and Halo Legends. While at Comic Con, I got the chance to watch the world premiere screening of Starship Troopers: Invasion, which turned out to be a lot of fun. While more of a straight-forward sci-fi/action film, it looked great, featured some really cool action sequences, and was really able to delve visually into the world of Starship Troopers. I will have a video interview with the team behind the film posted soon as well, which includes the original Johnny Rico himself, Casper Van Dien. For now, continue on to read some of my reactions to the film along with information about the upcoming Blu-ray/DVD release of the film.

Between the Marvel Studios panel and the presentation that Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures had lined up for Hall H on Saturday at Comic Con, fans were in for all sorts of greatness to be shown to them, given that they were able to get into the very packed room.

While the first film presented was something everyone knew about and were excited to get their first look at, Pacific Rim, the second film announced was a big surprise, as no one quite knew what they were watching until it was revealed to be Godzilla.

Let’s get this out of the way now, Saturday at Comic Con was an exhausting time for anyone who wanted to get into Hall H. This is of course the biggest hall for panels at the San Diego Convention Center and Saturday proved to be the day that anyone who wanted to get in would have needed to arrive at least 4-5 hours early, as I did. It paid off however, as the first panel of the day was for Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, Django Unchained (The ‘D’ is silent). I previously wrote a post about this upcoming film already, which can be found HERE, but I was thrilled to be able to see the cast and writer/director Quentin Tarantino, along with whatever footage they brought with them.
