  • Thou Tis Not Prepared For Terminator 2 Spoken As The Bard

    There is really no way to prepare you for this other than to just lay it all out there. This group in Nashville have made Terminator 2 into a play called Terminator the Second which takes the James Cameron action classic and gives it the Shakespeare treatment. It is two things you never thought of combining, but when you watch it, you wonder why it took so long for this idea to come about.

    They are performing on October 22nd at The Belcourt Theater which is in driving distance for me. In the words of Liz Lemon “I want to go to there”.

    You can download the movie online on November 1st here.

    2K Sports is putting the finishing touches on their first WWE game, WWE 2K14. Don’t worry about too much of a drastic change because the game is still being developed by Yuke’s, the team behind previous WWE games with THQ. This year’s story mode will celebrate the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania by having you relive 45 matches from wrestling’s biggest show. 2K has been unveiling the matches by the different eras they took place in and now we have the complete list for you to look at.

    I hope you like wrestling as John Cena because he has nine matches on the list, the most of any other superstar. The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan both have seven, HHH and HBK each have six and Stone Cold has four.

    Have a look a the matches and let us know if there are any you would have added or some that should not have been on this list.

  • Achievement Whore: Batman: Arkham Origins

    As many of us are hours and hours deep in [amazon_link id=”B0050SXKU4″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]GTA V[/amazon_link] let’s not forget it is never too early to look ahead to our next time waster. For me it will be [amazon_link id=”B00C7103DO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Batman: Arkham Origins[/amazon_link]. I am ready to get lost in Gotham again as I curse at my TV over Riddler trophies. I have high hopes that WB Montreal can keep up the level of quality that Rocksteady gave us with the first two Arkham titles.

    Recently the achievement list for the game leaked showing us some hints about the game and how multiplayer will play a part in the list.

    Batman: Arkham Origins releases on October 25th.

  • Weekend Box Office- September 20-22, 2013

    9545734b-bff5-4349-a358-253f6bf466bb_prisoners
    Photo courtesy movies.yahoo.com

    Prisoners was the easy winner at the box office this past weekend. The kidnapping thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllanhaal had good reviews and took in $21.4 million. Insidious Chapter 2 fell off as expected and finished second with $14.5 million. The dance film Battle of the Year failed to find much support. I just figured it was 90 minutes of Chris Brown dancing and face punching women. The Wizard of OZ IMAX 3D also grossed $3 million from its re-release.

    1. Prisoners- $21.4 million/ $21.4 million

    2. Insidious Chapter 2- $14.5/ $60.8

    3. The Family- $7.0/ $25.6

    4. Instructions not Included- $5.7/ $34.2

    5. Battle of the Year- $5.0/ $5.0

    6. We’re the Millers- $4.6/ $138.1

    7. The Butler- $4.3/ $106.4

    8. Riddick- $3.6/ $37.1

    9. The Wizard of Oz IMAX 3D- $3.0/ $3.0

    10. Planes- $2.0/ $86.5

  • John Noble Returning To TV, Joins Sleepy Hollow

    John Noble’s time away from television will not be long. The Fringe star is joining Fox’s Sleepy Hollow in a recurring role. He will play Henry Parrish who is described as “a kind and reclusive man who possesses supernatural powers that have the potential to help the series’ protagonist, Ichabod Crane.”

    If you did not catch the premiere of Sleepy Hollow this past Monday, go and find a replay because it was really fun and I can easily see it being my favorite new show of the season. They did a great job in expanding the mythos of the Headless Horseman in a direction that you would not think about, but should make the show intriguing.

    Now add in John Noble and I am even more excited.

  • Metro 2033 And Metro: Last Light Only $20

    If you are a PC owner, how are you keeping money in your wallet with all of these Amazon deals. Yesterday we told you about the Bioshock Triple Pack for only $20 and now you can pick up the Metro Franchise Pack for the same low price. For the paltry asking price you will get Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Metro: Last Light Ranger Mode DLC and Metro: Last Light RPK Weapon DLC.

    I was going to use the word dealpocalypse somewhere, but it just seemed a stretch.

    Go and see the incredible deal here.

  • GTA V Makes $1 Billion In 3 Days

    What is better than $800 million in one day? $1 billion in three days. That is the amount of money that [amazon_link id=”B0050SXKU4″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Grand Theft Auto V[/amazon_link] has made for Rockstar since its release.

    Take Two released a statement saying, “We believe this marks the fastest that any entertainment property, including video games and feature films, has reached this significant milestone.”

    I hope Fox News doesn’t pick this story up. They might start jumping out of their windows at all the millions of potential murderers that are on the street now because of this game.

    In retrospect, let’s do hope they pick up the story so they will jump out of their windows.
