Muse - The Resistance

12 October 2009 8:31 AM, PDT | Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news »

  My name is Andrew Whitman, and I am a Muse fan. The admission doesn't come easily. I realize what it means; I have outed myself as a hopeless dweeb. I don't care. I also have a bit of a soft spot for Yes, early Radiohead, U2, Rush, Queen, and every other melodramatic musical precursor this album conjures. You want understated? Look, they don't wear clown makeup or breathe fire. That's the best I can do.

The Resistance, the latest from the Devon, UK trio, ups the already supersized ante. Not content with releasing merely overblown songs, Muse here adopts the most overblown of all musical genres: the prog-rock concept album. And who really cares if the concept is a bit muddled? In the Muse version of reality, the world has been hijacked by faceless corporations, and only a daring, courageous boy and girl dare to resist the commercial onslaught. Opening single "Uprising, »

Big Momma’s House 3 is Happening

3 September 2009 3:07 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

I'll be damned if this isn't the best news I've heard all day (and also the only news I've heard all day). Hot on the heels of an announcement about Bad Boys 3 [1] heading into the early stages of development, we now have another Martin Lawrence threequel to contend with: Big Momma's House 3! According to Variety [2], Fox has hired Randi Mayem Singer to write a script for the film. Singer previously wrote the Robin Williams comedy classic Mrs. Doubtfire, and more recently, the upcoming Tooth Fairy starring The Rock. Story details are being kept "under wraps", which basically means, "We have no idea what the movie will be about, and why do you even care?" I guess we are to assume that Martin Lawrence will reprise his role as the undercover FBI agent in a fat suit, which, clearly, is exciting news. Personally I was kinda hoping for Black Knight 2, but »

'Merlin' - Excalibur

4 August 2009 5:30 AM, PDT | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »

This article may contain spoilers. Delving deeper into the Arthurian lore, this week introduced the mystical sword Excalibur, which was created to defeat the Black Knight brought back from the dead by the dark sorceress Nimeuh. As the newly appointed Crown Prince, Arthur threw down the gauntlet to avenge his fellow knights' deaths. Yet his stubborn adherence to the Knight's Code was in vain. For a battle of mortal combat against the Black Knight is suicidal as he cannot be killed. The Black Knight is a wraith and it can only be destroyed by magic. Thus, Merlin came up with a brilliant plan to have a sword forged in dragon's breath in order to save Arthur. However, in a sudden fit of courage and out of love for his son, Uther usurped this cleverly-conceived plan and fought in Arthur's ... »

Imho "Merlin" (1: 9): The Sword and the Stoner

3 August 2009 2:46 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

I confess I'm still getting used to this whole "hoyay" thing. Gay subtext, I understand. But projected gay subtext where it can all be in the mind of the viewer? That's ridiculously open-ended, isn't it?

Still, even on the "wishful thinking" front, there wasn't much hoyay between Merlin and Arthur in "Excalibur," last night's episode of Merlin (although Merlin did admit, "You could say there's a bond between us").

Still, there were some serious Brokeback-Camelot sparks flying between Arthur and King Uther, who said to him, "You mean more to me than anything I know — more than my own kingdom, and certainly my own life."

Granted, the characters are father and son, which is admittedly very creepy, but if fans of Supernatural can overlook the fact that they're supposed to be brothers, I can overlook that.

And did you catch the way the Black Knight was eyeing Arthur?

Okay, that last comment was (1) truly icky, »

Episode Review: With “Excalibur,” Merlin Finally Gets Its Edge Back

2 August 2009 6:08 PM, PDT | thetorchonline | See recent thetorchonline news »

Four and a Half Torches (Out of Five) Warning: This review contains plot-spoilers for the "Excalibur" episode of Merlin. Now we're finally getting somewhere! A mysterious and defiant Black Knight comes to Camelot wearing the coat of arms of someone Uther killed 20 years before and who, on his deathbed, vowed revenge on the king. When one of the knights of Camelot challenges the Black Knight and the visitor easily defeats the young man, it confirms Gaius' worst fears: the Black Knight doesn't just wear the old knight's coat of arms; he actually is that knight, somehow resurrected from the dead. Problem: you can't kill someone who's already dead. Sure enough, as if to prove that he's an otherworldly being, the knight doesn't go to sleep at night, but rather stands, motionless, in the courtyard, until the next match the following day. »

The Pull List Comic Reviews: ‘Captain Britain and MI13′, ‘G.I.Joe: Cobra’, and ‘Tales from Wonderland: The Cheshire Cat’

19 June 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

To take a look at yesterday’s Pull List Reviews, click here.

Captain Britain and MI13 #14 – Marvel – $2.99

Score: 8.5

This is one of the times where the vocal minority needs to help save a book. If Spider-Girl could be saved, this book most certainly deserves it. Unless something happens in the final issue #15 that prevents the characters from being able to appear in future issues like the entire nation of England being nuked off the map, there is no reason the series shouldn’t continue.

At the New York Comic Con this past February, Paul Cornell was praised for his work on the series. Now months later, it is being brought to an end far too soon. The past few months, the book has fallen just short of the top 100 comics in terms of sales which may be why Marvel is giving it the axe despite being the best Captain Britain series in recent memory, »

‘Sonic and the Black Knight’ Review (Nintendo Wii)

22 March 2009 9:10 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

When Sega released Sonic Unleashed at the end of 2008, I wondered, “Is Sonic finally ready to stage a comeback?” Glossing over the nighttime scenes, Unleashed’s daylight scenes were a tribute and a revival of the Sonic I grew up with. The same Sonic that told Mario it was time to “step-off” because there was a new hero in town; this one moved with enough speed to make even the Flash’s jaw drop. Sonic Unleashed had stunning visuals, amazing landscapes and rekindled the sense of intense speed and control that only Sega’s prize Hedgehog could have. After playing through Unleashed, all I could think was that Team Sonic was back and whatever Sonic title came out in the next year or so would be a surefire winner. Imagine my surprise when I learned that Sonic would not only be coming back to the Nintendo Wii sooner than expected, »

Martin Lawrence Goes Back To America

17 February 2009 11:28 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Martin Lawrence, star of Big Momma's House and Black Knight, is producing and hoping to star in a new film called Back To America, which sounds like Eddie Murphy's Coming To America but in reverse.The premise of this film is that a working-class guy from Queens discovers that he is heir to an African country and travels there to claim his birthright. So it's entirely distinct from the John Landis / Eddie Murphy film where a prince who is heir to an African country travels to Queens to conceal his birthright behind a working-class facade and discover a bride for himself.We'd kinda like to believe that this is a sequel, starting where Coming to America left off, with Shari Headley's Lisa McDowell running off in horror when she realised that her wedding dress was in fact The Blob (check it out if you don't believe us) and »
