submit to reddit
Agent Coulson lives! Everybody’s favourite ordinary human in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, lives on in what may become a Marvel Television Universe. Clark Gregg’s “His first name is agent” Coulson was a notable absentee in the recent, and excellent, Iron Man Three. But he has proved s popular that he was given in roll in Marvel’s Disney XD cartoon ‘Ultimate Spider-Man; AND they created a character in the current Marvel comics, who works side by side with a new Nick Fury. So getting stabbed through the chest by Loki isn't all downside these days. The show all but definitely to be bought by every country in the known world, so keep your eyes peeled, wherever you are.



What it is...
“Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville”) comes Marvel’s first TV series.  “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.”

Walking with Dinosaurs The 3D film, Trailer...

submit to reddit
Walking With Dinosaurs in 3D, at the Ciinema; ‘Nuff said right?
Synopsis...
“"Walking With Dinosaurs" (3D) is a CGI action adventure set in real epic environments that breathes to life the most glorious and realistic of the dinosaur era never before seen on the silverscreen. Set 70 million years ago, "Walking With Dinosaurs" (3D) sees the birth of a baby triceratops, the smallest of its herd brought forth into a wild, unpredictable world filled with the most ferocious of predators. In this world, the young dinosaur learns to discover his innner courage as he butts head with all other dinos and predators alike. Along with his friends and family, his adventures are filled with humor and often face hair-raising challenges that each of them must face to prove their worth within the herd.”


OK so being used to the BBC Walking With Dinosaurs, and Kenneth Branagh’s mellow tones, the voiceover in this trailer is both saccharine and cloying: but it looks spectacular and hopefully will be a worthy addition to the genuinely groundbreaking  Walking With Dinosaurs stable, in the vein of ‘The Ballad of Big Al.”.

submit to reddit

If you have ever actually met me, the chances are I sent some time trying to convince you to read this book. I’ve lost count of how many times I have read it and it actually gets better ever time. This film is an adaptation of both Ender’s Game, and the parallel tale Ender’s Shadow.

The good news is that the cast for this film, in which mankind is searching all its children to find a military genius in time to meet a returning alien invasion fleet, one that we have no hope of defeating without a 1 in a billion genius.
Cast:- Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, with Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford.

R.I.P Ray Harryhausen; a genuine master of the film world...

submit to reddit
There’s nothing that my unworthy mind can type here that will eve begin to pay suitable respects the genuine giant of Special effects cinema. So good was he at the Stop motion effects that cinema relied upon before the digital age. So important was he that many of the films that he worked on are remembered as Harryhausen films! Imagine that, not the directors, the actors or the writers! The guy in charge of the special effects was the selling point, and what the films are mostly remembered for. That's a huge achievement and can't be overstated.
"You mean there's someone on this island looking for a fight?"

One of cinema's most iconic images
Somehow scarier than the 2010 version

The only other thing I can do is to urge to watch some of the films he worked on. Jason & The Argonauts may well be the best example, even with 1 or 2 dodgy performances; the original Clash of The Titans for Medusa and Pegasus. My sister and I were massive fans of The Valley of The Gwangi and three Sinbad films are all worth looking at for marvellous creativity. I still say that his Talos in Jason & The Argonauts is masterful and to this very day holds up as fantastic special effect. R.I.P Mr. Harryhausen, you gave me, and millions of others, untold hours of joy, and a little fear. You will continue to do so for decades (maybe centuries;like the mythological characters he so wonderfully helped to bring to life.) to come. (below there are some clips & trailers)
