Awesome article that goes beyond the biggest Christmas blockbuster opening this weekend: Wired Article on Avatar
Update: I just saw it this past weekend and although the story isn’t exactly Oscar-material, the special effect is (literally) out of this world. Holy moly… go watch it in 3D!
The list: Made me want to rent some movies for the weekends…
Now the video: pure win….
So the idea is to have a bunch of animators around the world pitch in here and there using an application in Facebook, and have a couple really cool artist to fill the sound, and squeeze it to a 5-minute short movie. The resourcing is not called outsourcing, but crowdsourcing. Now that’s new. The short clip will be played along with the release of the animation movie, planet 51, tomorrow. Read the article here: Wired Article.
But for the rest of us who can’t wait to see a glimpse of it, please feast your eyes on the trailer below. Two thumbs up.
Could it be? Finally, a decent game-to-movie adaptation?
Well, the trailer seems to make my mouth drool just fine………
Har har har……..
and this is actually pretty good too….. hmmmm 
So I end up spending the last 30min at work today browsing Quicktime.com on the latest trailer with one hand on the mouse, ever so ready to hit the X button incase any of the coworker suddenly pops up… and here’s what I came up with on a brand new to-watch list…….. (excluding Terminator and GI Joe on the previous post, that’s just obvious, silly mister obvious-san)
Inglourious Basterds – Quentin Tarantino and a no-holds-barrels war movie. Starring Brad Pitt with a texas accent. What’s not to like?
Mutant Chronicles – Ron Perlman, John Malkovich, Devon Aoki, mutants bad guys. Oh yes.
Transformers – R.o.T.F. – What? You don’t get it after reading the title? This shit is as epic as Terminator. Or more.
Big Man Japan – A comedy about a japanese dude got electrocuted so he becomes larger than life and start fighting monsters. Win.
Watchmen – Unless you’ve been behind a rock the last few months, you probably want to see this one as well.
The Soloist – Great performance from 2 ultra-great actors. Brilliant.
Planet 51 – This one a so-so, but still, I wouldn’t want to pass any animated movie…
Crank 2 – If you love the first one, then this one is a no-brainer.
Eden Log – This is one of those weird movie that you don’t really want to watch but you really can’t pass either….
Night of The Museum 2 – Mix a bit of a history fan, well rendered CG, great performance by great actors, and mix in a big bag of comedy, this one is hard to pass… especially when you like the first one.
Star Trek – Are you a trekkie? Are you sure? A movie that doubles as a homage to the most famous Sci-Fi series of all time…
Fast and Furious – FINALLY! Welcome back, Vin. I missed you. Although the fact they throw in more CG instead of real driving kinda turn me off a bit. Just a wee bit.
Monsters vs Aliens – Ooze gonna save us????
X-Men Origins: Wolverine – Last but not least. My favourite Marvel hero of all time (yes, way before even the first movie), plus Gambit. I mean, who don’t wanna see Gambit, seriously?
And here’s one movie I will NOT watch. Never. Ever. Even though the original story was my favourite Manga of all time. Dragon Ball.
I thought Watchmen is the movie I really want to watch in the near future….
but hey, if that doesn’t excite you, maybe this will………. >> click here <<
