Summer Movie Round-Up

Movies that are on our radar... or not.


X-Men: First Class 
June 3, 2011

Josh and I have already done a pretty in-depth review about the latest iteration of the X-Men chronicles. You can watch that (Video Spoiler Alert) HERE! Please Subscribe to our Youtube Channel (Click the Subscribe button on the right side of the page!)


Super 8
June 10, 2011

You may love it, you may hate it. But if this movie is like anything else good ol' J.J. Abrams has done recently, you'll probably be disappointed somehow. (i.e. Lost)

Green Lantern
June 17, 2011

I greatly anticipate this movie to do one of two things. Either the movie will inspire me to really get neck deep in Green Lantern lore, or it will solidify my disinterest and wow me with green-splosions.

Any Green Lantern lovers out there who would like to explain the excitement behind a guy with a ring?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II
July 15, 2011

We simply can't wait for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II !! The movie will most definitely escalate into the intense showdown between Harry and Voldemort, wreaking havoc and destruction to Hogwarts in their wake. 


Captain America: The First Avenger
July 22, 2011

I am personally excited about Captain America: The First Avenger because of the time period with which the movie is based in. It really worked in X-Men: First Class, and from what I have seen from the artistic direction and cinematography in the trailer, it will take me 3+ views before my brain pays any attention to the story and not the "pur-di-ness."

Bellflower 
Summer 2011

This movie is particularly interesting to see how awesome Director, Writer, and Actor, Evan Glodell is at doing what he does….(everything) --- It has flame-balls and rad vintage cars, do you really need to know anything else?

Blip: The Video Games Magazine June, 1983

Lets just hope that they don't try to make more additions to the video game graveyard out of these titles.  

To quote my favorite source (comic longbox) for all things "current" --- My issue of Marvel's failed magazine, Blip: The Video Games Magazine June, 1983 issue goes into prophetic-realism-mode when they said: 
"What did E.T. and TRON prove? Maybe that the only thing a movie tie-in has going for it is its title. That might account for some sales. But in the end, the game will sell---or not sell--- on its own merits."
