This just past NYC Toy Fair, Kidrobot let the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles climb back up out of the sewers and onto display shelves. Like the toxic ooze that made these turtles into the sword wielding assassins that they are, so comes a glow-in-the-dark series of Ooze Action toys. But these are modeled after the famed […]

Another Scorsese tale of criminal rags to riches ascension

The trailer for Martin Scorcese’s latest opus was just released, and it seems to hit all the touchpoints of a typical epic Scorsesian plotline.

Unflinchingly, gorily, misanthropically, even gleefully brutal, to a point that a couple scenes were so ruthless they will churn your guts. Now I survived Irreversible, so that’s saying a lot.

Is there anybody — and I mean anybody — on this God’s green Earth that better manifests a Pursuit of Vengeance flick better than the great Quentin Tarantino? Unleashing a slave seeking revenge, and freedom, on a bunch of plantation owners seems like such a Tarantino no-brainer that in hindsight it’s shocking he hasn’t done […]

Entire film layered in 4 minutes

In tribute to Inception re-emerging as one of the interweb’s overwhelming Memes of the Year (have you heard — it’s out on DVD!), a fellow named Weikang assembled the various levels of inceptions into one “real time” video, thereby distilling the entire film into the 4 minutes of which it actually took place.
