I’ve been singing Brave’s praises now for quite a while. With the release of each new teaser, the movie looks increasingly brilliant. A strong female lead – and this is Pixar’s first – and gorgeous animation only make the Scottish fantasy setting even more amazing. But not everyone agrees. Otaku Kun thinks we’ve been here [...]

Sex. Battle. Intrigue. Dragons. Yes, this latest trailer for HBO’s second season of Game of Thrones has it all. Thank goodness, too. I need to keep getting my fix until the April 1st air-date.

We begin to see the fallout of the death of Ra and the cleaving of EzRa as the Embassytowners start to run out of datchips of the god-drug’s voice. Ariekei begin to become violent in their addiction, especially as the drug-voice wears off, runs out. The addicted Ariekei cling to the loudspeakers. We see our [...]

Ignore the critics. John Carter looks like an awesome space-and-sorcery adventure. It may look like cheesy space-and-sorcery – a high-tech reimagining of Star Wars replete with the latest CGI – but John Carter has plenty to be excited about.
