Movie: ASTROBOY In theaters: October 23, 2009 Genre: Family, Action Adventure, Comedy
Funny and action-packed, this new clip from the upcoming film ASTROBOY shows Astro fighting the Peacekeeper, who looks anything but peaceful.
 

I’m really looking forward to this animated film that stars Freddie Highmore in the title role of the young robot  Nicholas Cage as his human dad/creator, and directed by David Bowers.

I just  posted a review of the “X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE” so I’m just telling you now that this is NOT a duplicate post.  Rather, this is my second X-MEN series to enjoy watching and reviewing.
I have the Marvel DVD Comic Book Collection for X-MEN Volumes 3 and 4 … and boy did I have a marathon watching 28 episodes!
            
 
But it’s all good, and it was worth it. These episodes are a must-see if you are a fan of the X-Men comic book. The episodes have been created from the pages of the original Marvel comic …read more

I love watching action-adventure films on the big screen. There’s nothing like seeing the effects, whether live action stunts or CG, being blown up and maxed out. So I was very disappointed when “X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE” came out in theaters May 1 and I couldn’t make time out of my overcrowded schedule. And I was more surprised when early reviews rated the Hugh Jackman starrer as “disappointing”. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a measly 33%! Was it really that bad?

But it was an X-MEN so of course waited for the DVD, which came out on September 15. And I …read more

When I caught up with HEROES’ actor James Kyson Lee on the phone, he was driving along a canyon road in Los Angeles that was notorious for losing cell signals. So James graciously told me to call him back in case our call gets dropped. Sure enough it did, but he called back. I thought that was such a nice gesture.
James Kyson Lee is a regular actor on HEROES better known to fans as Ando, Hiro’s one-time sidekick now partner-in-crime, when he acquired powers last year. James recently worked on an independent film titled WHITE ON RICE (review here), …read more

WHITE ON RICE would probably have not landed on my desk if HEROES’ James Kyson Lee wasn’t involved in it. But I’m glad I watched the film, and also saw James in a whole different field outside of HEROES.
On first pass, I can’t really describe what genre WHITE ON RICE falls into. It’s somewhere between light drama and comedy, with a touch of romance and an undercurrent of tragedy thrown in. And mind you, the storyline is not that complex, but the script and portrayal have a way of making you laugh at the hilarity of a serious moment, …read more

Movie: ASTROBOY Release Date: October 23, 2009 Genre: Family, Action Adventure, Comedy
Wow! ASTROBOY is my MUST-SEE movie this fall, and if you still have doubts about the awesome factor of this film, watch the trailer below and you’ll see what I mean.
Simply put, ASTROBOY is the story of a young robot (Freddie Highmore) with incredible powers, created by a scientist Dr. Tenma (Nicholas Cage) wanting a son, and who had to learn what it means to be truly human. The story itself makes for great family drama, with some rather …read more

I was too young to remember much about the original GREEN HORNET (1974) but I do recall Bruce Lee played the Asian side-kick to a masked hero. There was a lot of kicking and “ka-blam" “pow” and all that old-TV stuff but its hero-appeal was overshadowed by more serious shows like Batman and Robin. I mean, who takes a hero named Green Hornet seriously?
Well now that comedian Seth Rogen is playing the lead role in this remake, and Cameron Diaz – who also has a comedic streak – plays his leading lady-secretary, the new GREEN HORNET movie might become …read more

Have I told you I grew up watching ASTROBOY? This was one of the television manga shows that my siblings and I watched right after school, along with VOLTES 5, G-FORCE, and VOLTRON! Talk about nostalgia. So I am just thrilled that ASTROBOY finally makes its debut on the big screen!

ASTROBOY is one of those characters that children can easily relate to. The story and film is about scientist Dr. Tenma who creates a young robot, Astro, who has incredible powers. Astro is powered by a positive “blue” energy and has …read more
