Watch The New Game Of Thrones Season Two ‘Seven Devils’ Trailer

March 5, 2012Erik Kain

April 1st is getting closer. Winter is coming. Season two, just judging by the trailers, is looking even better than the first. For those who are watching the show without reading the books, this should be especially true. The second book (and second season) focus a great deal more on battles – on the ‘clash […]

Is Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Just Another Disney Princess Movie?

March 2, 2012Erik Kain

I’ve been singing Brave’s praises now for quite a while. With the release of each new teaser, the movie looks increasingly brilliant. A strong female lead – and this is Pixar’s first – and gorgeous animation only make the Scottish fantasy setting even more amazing. But not everyone agrees. Otaku Kun thinks we’ve been here […]

The Top Video Games Of 2011 Recreated With Legos

March 1, 2012Erik Kain

This is fantastic. Everything from Uncharted 3 to Skyrim done entirely out of Legos. How cool is that? From The Brothers Brick: Organizers for the 15th Interactive Achievement Awards approached Alex Kobbs back in October to create a montage of the top video games of the year, animated in LEGO. Alex used clips from some of […]

Will ‘The Avengers’ Be Any Good?

February 29, 2012Erik Kain

I hope this movie is as good as Iron Man. is optimistic. Me, not so much. I didn’t even finish Thor – the first fifteen minutes were just terrible and I had to shut it off. I still haven’t seen Captain America. Maybe I’m just not a big Avengers fan. I’m really looking forward to the Spider Man reboot, and […]

February 28, 2012Erik Kain

I posted earlier that we’d get an HBO GO app on Xbox 360 just in time for Game of Thrones – April 1st, which is, of course, April Fool’s Day. But before we get to that, I have to ask: Who launches a major app and the second season of a popular television show on […]

Watch The New ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 2 Trailer: ‘Power And Grace’

February 27, 2012Erik Kain

Sex. Battle. Intrigue. Dragons. Yes, this latest trailer for HBO’s second season of Game of Thrones has it all. Thank goodness, too. I need to keep getting my fix until the April 1st air-date. By far the most revealing, intense trailer for the second season so far. We begin to see the sibling rivalry erupt. […]

Five Reasons You Should Be Excited About Disney’s ‘John Carter’

February 26, 2012Erik Kain

Ignore the critics. John Carter looks like an awesome space-and-sorcery adventure. It may look like cheesy space-and-sorcery – a high-tech reimagining of Star Wars replete with the latest CGI – but John Carter has plenty to be excited about. I have no idea if it’s going to be a great film, but I’m definitely looking […]

February 24, 2012Erik Kain

Alex Knapp has been singing Gentlemint’s praises, and with good reason. It’s basically Pinterest for men. Alex passed along this neat article (via Facebook) on the “7 Manliest Swordfights Of All Time” which he found on Gentlemint. It’s a great list, with lots of the usual suspects including the fantastic swordfights from Princess Bride and […]
