Voltasaur Tobaspino Toy Review

If you can understand japanese then you are one jump ahead of this writer. Trying to keep up with what’s being said or written is still one of my struggles. But lacking subtitles I can still piece together that this is the toy review for the Voltasaur Tobaspino from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. My first taste of sentai was Kagaku Sentai Dynaman in the 1980’s but I’ve been a steady fan of such series since Gosei Sentai Dairanger (1993-94).

Pike’s Work to Manifest Itself on TV

SpooksvilleThe trailer for Hub Network’s newest live action series Spooksville is available to view online. Based on the series of acclaimed children’s novels by Christopher Pike, the series was shot entirely on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Locations like the Duncan Curling Club, Craigdarroch Castle, Fisgard Lighthouse and Duncan city hall were all used as the backdrop for Springville, nicknamed by the locals as Spooksville. From Victoria to the Cowichan Valley, filming elsewhere could not have created the unique atmosphere needed for this comedy-adventure series.

James Cameron Confirms Three More Avatars Going Back-to-Back

“To help me continue to expand this universe, I’m pleased to bring aboard Amanda, Rick, Shane and Josh — all writers I’ve long admired -­ to join me in completing the films screenplays,” said Cameron to TheWrap.

urlDirector James Cameron and 20th Century Fox must have an obsession for Avatar. Living in virtual worlds must be cool, and that means pushing back other projects Cameron has in the pipeline. Battle Angel may well never get realized or the rights will disappear. Instead, three films in the Avatar universe are now confirmed to be in production even though news of this fact is more than a year old. Sigourney Weaver revealed this information in an interview with ScreenRant.

Transformers 4 In Detroit

Take a look at recent amateur video footage on Michael Bay’s Transformers 4 on location in Detroit, Michigan. Like many other amateur vids appearing on Youtube, it’s lots and lots of explosions. What can be said other than it’s a Michael Bay film. You’re usually guaranteed three things: babes, explosions and U.S. military forces.

Wind Up Geek’s Top Ten Takedown – Fan Films/Series

I already knew what my favourite fan films were but I needed to broaden my horizon.

In the past decade I’ve come to love fan films for what they are: shoe string budget movies made by people with big hearts for pop/geek culture. Gone are the days where our projects created from scratch (Hardware Wars) or joke dubbed (Ranma⅓) were distributed via VHS/Beta tape. With the  Internet era, it has brought to millions of us who speak Geekese, or if you will in Geekidiom, a whole new stage to show something cool to the world. Now we have places like Youtube and Vimeo to reach a much larger audience.
