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.

Review: Splice
![Vincenzo Natali's Splice [Photo - Warner Bros.]](http://www.woogmoog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Splice_wall04_1024x768.jpg "Vincenzo Natali's Splice [Photo - Warner Bros.]")
What we pass on to the next generation is not only what we find encoded in our genes. We pass on our memories, legends and aspirations. But we cannot forget that we also pass on our failures, our fears, and the darker sides of humanity. At least, this is what I gathered from the ending of Metal Gear Solid 2, the only Metal Gear game I’ve played. I stopped paying close attention to the plot after I got in a swordfight with the President of the United States who is dressed in a biomechanical tentacle suit in front of a statue of George Washington.
Vincenzo Natali, the mind behind the brilliant and underappreciated Cube, plays with the same themes in Splice. It dabbles in ideas like nature versus nurture and the question of what we do as parents to our offspring and our families. Splice takes these ideas, tosses them into a centrifuge, and fucks the result on the cold barn floor.
Oh by the way, there will be spoilers in this review. Sexy spoilers. READ MORE!
