Mortal Kombat: Legacy

Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. Here's the latest episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy

Mortal Kombat: Legacy

Here are the two latest episodes of Mortal Kombat: Legacy

Torchwood

Here's the trailer for the upcoming fourth series of Torchwood that will be coming out in the US on the Starz channel. It premiers July 8th.

Green Lantern

Here is the newest trailer for the upcoming DC comic book movie "Green Lantern". It stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively and comes out June 17th.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy 5

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been out of town on some last minute family related stuff. Here's the latest episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy

Fright Night

Here's the new trailer for the upcoming remake of Fright Night. Never seen the original but this one looks a lot better than most of the recent vampire flicks. It stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrel, Toni Collete, David Tennant, and McLovin. It comes out August 19th

Real Steel

Here is the newest trailer for the Hugh Jackman rock'em sock'em robot movie Real Steel. The robot action looks good and I like Hugh Jackman but I'm seriously hoping that little kid gets robot punched right in his little face.

Real Steel will be out October 7th.

May 8th - 15th Book Releases

 May 10th

Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi
It's a classic case of good news, bad news. Independent contractor Jack Holloway helps cause a cliff collapse, which gets him fired from his partnership; but the accident reveals a vein of valuable jewels, which gets him rehired and promises to make him rich. Of course, there's a catch: To maintain the claim on his newfound wealth, the partners must be able to certify that the planet is not inhabited by any sentient beings—and that, of course, is the cue for the small, lovable, furry little creatures to appear.

Central Park Knight by C.J. Henderson
Superhero museum curator Piers Knight saves the world in the first two chapters of this sequel to 2010's Brooklyn Knight, but fear not, another apocalypse is on the way. This time it's dragons. Knight, his ex-girlfriend Tian Lu, and socially challenged museum intern George Rainert are snatched up by honest-to-gosh Men in Black and taken to Washington to begin planning their defense against the ancient creatures. Their weapons include magic powders, rail guns, missiles, geek energy, Web traffic, and Knight's sharp wits. The fast and furious action might make up for the occasional failings of fact (the Brooklyn Museum has not had a "magnificent stairway" since 1934), and the book concludes with Knight ready for the next disaster.

The Chaos Crystal by Jennifer Fallon
The Tide Lords have gathered in Jelidia and find they must find the Chaos Crystal that brought them to this world. It is discovered that Elyssa, Scard Crasii, Warlock's cruel immortal mistress knows the location of the Chaos crystal and with every immortal searching for the crystal the stakes are high.

Mind Storm by K.M. Ruiz
Two hundred and fifty years after the world was nearly wiped out by nuclear war, what’s left of society fights over the scraps of the Earth as the rich and powerful plan to ascend in secret to another planet. But the deadly new breed of humanity that the rulers have enslaved to protect their interests are about to change everything.









The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi
Jean le Flambeur is a post-human criminal, mind burglar, confidence artist, and trickster. His origins are shrouded in mystery, but his exploits are known throughout the Heterarchy— from breaking into the vast Zeusbrains of the Inner System to stealing rare Earth antiques from the aristocrats of Mars. Now he’s confined inside the Dilemma Prison, where every day he has to get up and kill himself before his other self can kill him.

Conan

Here's the newest trailer for the upcoming Conan the Barbarian movie. I had no idea that Schwarzenegger's Conan was released almost 30 years ago. Makes me feel so old. This new one features Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa as the new Conan the Barbarian and also stars Rachel Nichols, Rose McGowan, and Ron Pearlman. It is expected to be released August 19, 2011.

Mortal Kombat

Posted the first episode a few weeks ago and then completely forgot to check out the rest as they came out. Here's episode 1-4 of the new Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series.

I found the first three episodes to be pretty enjoyable. Jeri Ryan is still hot after all these years and Michael Jai White is usually a fun actor to watch in a fight. The fact that they made Johnny Cage into a washed up former Power Ranger actor is a hilarious turn.

Then I got to episode four. What a let down.

The show goes from being a somewhat grounded-in-reality(compared to the previous MK movies and TV show) and reverts back to the crazy mystical crap the series has been putting out since the beginning. All I wanted was a bloody tournament filled with psycho's and freaks and some cops with maybe a dash of sci-fi thrown in. This realm invasion/other magical stuff is so old.

May 1st-7th Book Releases

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Eutopia: A Novel of Terrible Optimism by David Nickle
The year is 1911. In Cold Spring Harbour, New York, the newly formed Eugenics Records Office is sending its agents to catalogue the infirm, the insane, and the criminal - with an eye to a cull, for the betterment of all. Near Cracked Wheel, Montana, a terrible illness leaves Jason Thistledown an orphan, stranded in his dead mother's cabin until the spring thaw shows him the true meaning of devastation - and the barest thread of hope. At the edge of the utopian mill town of Eliada, Idaho, Doctor Andrew Waggoner faces a Klansman's noose and glimpses wonder in the twisting face of the patient known only as Mister Juke. And deep in a mountain lake overlooking that town, something stirs, and thinks, in its way: Things are looking up.
