The Struggle with Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures is Real

Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures is an update which may blink out much the same way. The title alone does not sound all that thrilling.

Pac Man and GangSpoiler alert

This year marks the return of Pac-Man, an iconic video-game character from the 80’s, in both animated and video-game form. While this character had his own cartoon back then, which was like a blip in the radar of animated cartoon history, Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures is an update which may blink out much the same way. The title alone does not sound all that thrilling.

The episodes are being broadcast now on Disney XD in a bid to generate interest to buy the game that’s scheduled to be released sometime during the Fall of 2013. It will be available across all platforms, the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3 and 3DS.

About Harry Potter Final Movie: A Deathly Analysis

Before watching Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part Two, viewers have to remember what happened in Part One.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2The cinematic translation of the Harry Potter saga is one of those franchises that almost succeeded in staying fresh. It’s more of a worthwhile experience to watch the entire video series back-to-back than trying to watch each film separately. The overall charm of the series is that there are small plot points that can be found which contributes to the larger narrative. But when director David Yates has other ideas, to see that he doesn’t continue from these story elements can get problematical.

About thirty minutes from each movie, from Philosopher’s Stone on, is part of the larger story–this narrative is the story of Voldemort’s resurrection to power. The rest of the time is the story of Harry Potter becoming a man.

Before watching Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part Two, viewers have to remember what happened in Part One. In Part Two, the first scene ominously opens with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) claiming the most powerful wand in the Potter-verse–if that’s forgotten, well, it doesn’t take long to know why: the Elder Wand is the like of the Spear of Destiny. Those who possess it will rule the Earth. Voldemort wants to use it to rule over death.

The Next IMAX FANFIX poster will be for Pacific Rim!

Collectors of IMAX FANFIX mini posters now have Pacific Rim added to the collection.

Pacific-Rim-ImaxThe next IMAX FANFIX print to be released will be for the first screenings of Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim on July 12. And “conscripted” to create this second item of collectible posters is artist Sergio Grisanti. This artist is known for creating the Jaeger posters/card art used at WonderCon. Also, he’s done illustrative work for The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

The digital image may not do the real item justice. There has to be something unique to make this second print release under the FANFIX banner special. Hopefully the poster is large enough to show a sense of the scale, or destruction being wrought as mech and beast face off in comic-book style explosion of wood and rubble. Del Toro had no set ideas in mind when giving the artist some parameters to work by.
