Review: The Last Airbender

The experience of watching The Happening unfold on the silver screen to an unsuspecting audience is something that can never be replicated. The trailers hinted at something frightening, some new twist M. Night Shyamalan would pull on us. Watching that unfold and collapse under so much unintentional hilarity and wooden acting so unimaginably bad is something I never expected would happen again.
Enter The Last Airbender. READ MORE!
Trailer Park: Rango
How great is that new Rango trailer? The Gore Verbinski-directed and Johnny Cage-starring furry friends CG animated flick seems fairly run-of-the-mill story-wise, but looks absolutely gorgeous.

After the horrible batch of 3D and animated trailers attached to Toy Story 3, seeing something as beautifully composed as this was definitely refreshing. The design is great and I love Depp’s lizard’s gangly features – he feels like he’s straight out of a Ralph Steadman painting and I swear he’s wearing a Hunter S. Thompson-esque shirt. I’d wager on at least one Fear and Loathing-referencing scene with the lizard wearing aviators and munching on a cigarette holder.
There are some extraordinarily trippy shots in this trailer, best seen on a humongous screen. Seeing this was the best part of going to see The Last Airbender on Friday.

Triweekly (or so), I gather with friends associates Mike Konieczny and Patrick Stone. We sit at a round table as if to summon eldritch spirits, consume a mighty, greasy dinner, and record.
Feel like something’s missing in your life? Clearly, the answer is meandering, blabbering and unfocused discussion on all things video games, movies, TV, etc. (and etc.)

Shrek Forever After Box Office Opening Disappoints, DreamWorks Stock Drops
DreamWorks’ stock plunged more than 13% this week after the very 3D and very expensive Shrek 4: Endgame stumbled at the box office this weekend. The weekend totals were just a hair over $70 million, the lowest opening for the franchise since the first Shrek. You know, Shrek, that movie that ended up raking in nearly $500 domestic + foreign. Shrek 4: The Revenge also cost nearly $100 million more than the original. Those numbers are even more galling when you consider the inflated 3D ticket prices and the panic over the possibility of crossing the $20 ticket threshold.
DreamWorks’ earlier animated effort this year, How to Train Your Dragon, managed via word-of-mouth READ MORE!
