February 8, 2012Erik Kain

Filmmakers for the indie science fiction film Iron Sky utilized crowdsourcing to create and fund the picture. Alex Knapp captions the above trailer for the yet-to-be-released film Iron Sky: What makes Iron Sky particularly cool, in my opinion, is that despite its goofy, B-movie premise, the production values look to be top notch. And tons of […]

Watch The ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 2 ‘Shadow’ Trailer

February 8, 2012Erik Kain

HBO’s second season of Game of Thrones may be even better than the first, if this trailer is any indication.

February 6, 2012Erik Kain

I asked readers on various social networks whether they’d watched the Superbowl online Sunday. This year I caught the game the old fashioned way – on a big screen TV at a family Superbowl party – so I didn’t get the chance to check out the online version. Doesn’t sound like I missed much. The […]
