30 December 08 - 18:57Bulking Steel

I grew up with the live action Hulk series starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferigno in the 80s and the cartoon series from the 80s. And I didn’t mind reading a Hulk comic book. So, each time a Hulk movie is announced I’m quite curious to see the result.

27 December 08 - 18:47Classic Combo

Some combinations work better than others, and some are so natural they are iconic. One such combination is the Marshall amp together with a Gibson guitar. The Gibson guitar I already had.

25 December 08 - 17:45Dancing Wall-e

I’m an animation fan but I usually don’t discuss Disney on my site. For Wall-e I’ll make an exception because he’s too cool to be ignored. I generally prefer traditionally animated movies over CGI movies – even those from Pixar. But I must say Wall-e is one of the finest animated movies ever made. I’m not going to tell you why, you just have to see the movie.

One of the cooler pieces of merchandise released for Wall-e is this dancing Wall-e. It has two dancing modes. One mode plays a default music tune and Wall-e dances to it. The other one is if you plug a MP3 player to Wall-e and play songs from your MP3 player. Wall-e then automatically dances to the songs.

It’s just too funny not to purchase!

12 December 08 - 18:4217 years of waiting

After 17 years of waiting we finally saw the actual release of the long awaited new Guns 'n Roses album Chinese Democracy. And was it worth the wait? Well, not really. Expectations weren't really high, mainly due to the departure of practically the whole band that GnR used to be including defining people like Izzy Stradlin and of course Guitar god Slash. But even though expectations weren't high, it's still sad to conclude that the new album sucks in comparisson to the previous GnR stuff.

And that's the main problem with the new album. There is no way people will not compare it to Appetite for Destruction or the Use Your Illusion albums. If Axl Rose had put his own name on the album instead of GnR, people may have evaluated the album more objectively and not compared it to the old GnR stuff. But now it's just a sad, sad attempt and an insult to the GnR name.

For the few people who actually like it, next week een special edition will be released. The box will contain some GnR merchandise and of course the CD with a new cover if we are to believe the promo pics.

04 December 08 - 18:50Wonder Woman DVD

DVDactive reports that a new DC Universe animated feature will be coming on DVD March 2008, this time featuring Wonder Woman. Looking at the trailer it seems the makers will base the style on JLU. As long as it doesn't suck like JL Final Frontier, I'm in for it.

To cash in on the new Batman movie (Dark Knight) work was done on a new direct-to-DVD animated feature. Not in the style of Batman TAS, but instead various famous anime directors would work on this project each bringing their own style for old Bats.
