If the opening four and a half minutes of Wreck It Ralph is any indication, Disney has another big time hit on their hands. Scheduled for release November 2, 2012, Wreck It Ralph is an old school, 8-bit video game bad guy, voiced by John C. Reilly, who is tired of being bad. One night, he sneaks out of his game console in the arcade and travels to different games hoping to find one where he can be a good guy. Featuring cameos from famous video game characters, homages to newer games and more, the footage shown at the D23 Expo was very crude animation cut with storyboards. Even in that rough state, it looked and sounded like something special. Read about the scene after the jump. Read More »

Final Destination isn’t the kind of franchise that surprises — if you’ve seen any of the four previous installments, you probably already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Final Destination 5. We were treated to a 3-D clip from the upcoming film, showing that scene familiar from any Final Destination movie: the moment when one of the characters has a horrifying vision of death, prompting him to get off the airplane / highway / roller coaster / stands / bus just before it comes true. Read details of the footage after the jump.

There are two kinds of movie fans: people who embrace spoilers and people who avoid them like the plague. This post is for the former. IGN just put up a detailed description of the first act of Cowboys & Aliens, having visited director Jon Favreau and editor Dan Lebental in the editing room last November. Scheduled for release on July 29, Cowboys & Aliens stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde in a sci-fi spin on the Western genre that follows a mysterious stranger who realizes he’s the only person who can save a town from attacking aliens.
Favreau has become one of the most fan-friendly directors out there, always willing to show fans just enough to whet our appetites for his films and Cowboys & Aliens is no exception. If you don’t mind spoilers, hit the jump to read what happens in the first 40 minutes of the movie. Read More »
If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a Pixar fanatic. To me there is something so extremely special about the Emeryville-based animation studio’s special brand of storytelling. I remember being in Hall H at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con when Andrew Stanton unveiled the beginning of WALL-E. I was beyond amazed. I never thought this type of sci-fi film could ever be made, nevermind animated. And WALL-E ended up as being one of my favorite films of 2008.
Cut to: A year later, Hall H, Comic Con 2008. Pete Docter unveils a couple sequences from Pixar’s next film, Up. I was in disbelief. I felt myself disinterested in the story/concept, something that has never happened with any of the Pixar films thus far. Don’t get me wrong, the animation looked beautiful, funny yet empathetic characters, and amazing visuals. But for some reason I just wasn’t wasn’t impressed. But at this point we must have faith in the company named Pixar, right?
