Review: Zombieland
Zombieland originally began as a television series pitch but all the networks turned it down. While there is no way to know if it would've succeeded on TV, the concept evolved into an ideal standalone movie and potentially a franchise. Vampires have seen a resurgence as of late but zombies have always been a popular. Zombieland takes the concept seen in many horror films but with a heavy comedic slant. (more…)...

More NBA Live 10 Videos
After posting the full game video of NBA Live 10 on Friday it made sense to next grab some variety. So here are three HD videos showing off different areas of the game. Included are portions of gameplay from a FIBA tournament with the USA vs Spain, a Dynasty mode game with the Warriors @ Hornets, and playoff games with the Magic @ Raptors and Raptors @ Hawks. One of my favorite things, if not my absolute favorite about Live 10 is the atmosphere and arena experience and that comes through no ...

Latest Trailer for Up in the Air
Last year Slumdog Millionaire came out of the Telluride Movie Festival with buzz behind it that continued through release and eventually led all the way to a Best Picture win at the Academy Awards. 2009's film that could be on the same track is Up in the Air. Based on the book of the same name it stars George Clooney as a corporate downsizer that spends the majority of his life traveling. Clooney appears to be positioned for at least a nomination for Best Actor and could be a serious contend...

Friday 10/2 Box Office Results
As expected Zombieland opened big on Friday raking in 9.4 million. That is slightly above industry expectations which had the movie finishing the weekend in the 18-20 range. The first day totals should represent a higher percent of its weekend take than the norm as the opening Friday night is always the heaviest for a movie such as this. However good word of mouth will keep it solid through the weekend and going forward. Zombieland will complete the weekend with about 24 million very close t...

Full Game of NBA Live 10
Here is the first full game of NBA Live 10 featuring the matchup that won the earlier poll. The Detroit Pistons @ Miami Heat played on All-Star difficulty. From my experience with the game so far 10-12 minute quarters will probably produce the most realistic scores and stats but I'll keep monitoring that. Impressions, screenshots, and more videos to come this weekend. Continue on to watch the videos broken up by quarter and leave your thoughts in the comments! (more…)...

Five Minute Clip from 2012
In what appears to be the most insane disaster movie ever if the trailer and this five minute clip from the movie are any indication, 2012 is gearing up for its release on November 13th. The latest promotion was a two minute excerpt of the movie that aired on all the major networks last night which as a tactic is unheard of. That excerpt has been expanded in the five minute piece from the film. Director Roland Emmerich is looking to top his previous films which include Independence Day and T...

NBA Live 10 Player Ratings
NBA Live 10 has had an extensive ratings system the past few years with a ton of different categories which was one way to differentiate the players. This year the DNA updates will have more of an affect on the ratings as real world performance will affect them on a fluid basis. I've gone through and taken screenshots of the current rosters for each team with their respective overall ratings displayed. Keep in mind that the rosters are not completely accurate and that EA has assured that a r...
