The trailer for Burton’s adaptation of Through the Looking Glass slipped onto the web last week. I’m always impressed with Burton’s visual style and his intense attention to detail. I skipped Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was really upset with Planet of the Apes but I’m willing to give this one a try. Another Disney 3D movie…does everything have to be in this format?

- Slick new TRON Concept
I hope the rest of the movie lives up to this trailer for newly renamed TRON Legacy. This is the one movie where a 3D treatment will be necessary. I love the updated look of the Environments, Characters and the Light Cycles. I’m a little sketchy on the young Flynn’s face I can’t tell if it’s intentionally distorted behind the helmet or it’s still a work in progress. Anyway 2010 can’t get here fast enough, and there is finally a non-Pixar Disney movie to get excited about. Perhaps the reason for my excitement is the rumor that this is one of Pixar’s secret projects, I hope that they have more input than the 3D graphics. Please make this sequel one of the good ones.

- All new design combines body and cycle into an amazing geek hog.
You have to love World of Warcraft. The cartoony style is really inviting, even for my three-year old. Now every time the login music booms from speakers my boy runs into the room hands raised. He will repeat “I want to play the game” until I set him on my lap. From there I can completely forget playing the game like a normal person. I have to run the emote gauntlet and the game turns into an interactive cartoon. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a blast. It’s just a little embarrassing to be the village idiot in the world’s biggest MMO.
Amazing CO-OP game
I decided to bring along a new boardgame to my parents Fourth of July party. I wanted to try something a little less cut throat and more cooperative so I decided on Pandemic from Z-Man Games. I wrangled my brother and his wife into a game and we ended up losing our first try. We were able to find cures for 2 of the four viruses but a massive black strain epidemic managed to chain react so bad that it used every last block. When that happened I wasn’t too sure how everyone else would react. But the silence was quickly broken with my bother threating to kick the game’s ass. We quickly reset the board and ended up curing all the strains on our second go. It was really great to work along with everyone, being able to share a victory or defeat really made this gaming experience shine. I’m sure that Pandemic will be one that I will be bringing back again and again.
I’ve been playing a ton of inFAMOUS in the last few weeks. It’s nice to have a great game to play on my PS3. I’m working through the game on the good path but I plan to go back and roll through the game on the dark side. The controls are great the environments are highly detailed. The story is just OK and the character voice acting is a little off but overall the game is a solid experience and I think that developers could make an amazing sequel if they concentrate on improving the story and getting some higher caliber voices. This is my favorite PS3 game at the moment. Support Sucker Punch so that we can get a refined sequel.
Vampires + Vampire hunters – Wesley Snipes = Daybreakers
I like the look of the this movie, it kind of gives me a Dark City vibe.
