Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born

This is one of the difficult reviews I have ever made. So it may be crap. It may.

The first time when you are reading this graphic-novel (or trade paperback if you want) what hits you is this multitude of unfamiliar names, facts, surroundings and the whole Dark Tower universe. I am a little confused, you will say after 10 pages. Fear not, it will all explain itself (more or less) later in the book. This is a long run, not a short read, and the reader should have patience. All the pieces will arrange themselves…

Three new short video clips have been released for the latest Resident Evil movie, on its name Resident Evil: Afterlife. Great, you will say, but looks like this movie is all about the 3D sensation that will transmit and less about anything else. Practically, we can see a bunch of spectacular jumps, explosions, plane landings, flying debris and so on, that will accentuate the sensation of 3D. These and the Matrix scene, which gets a bad copycat in this movie. C’mon, Mila, Trinity did it better! And look at the …

Some of us have deep and affectionate memories about an old anime series called Space Adventure Cobra or Space Pirate Cobra. The pirate guy chased across the universe by lots of bounty hunters, the mechanized arm, his android assistant, his numerous female companions, space adventures, and so on. Well, I have good news, because French director Andre Aja (Hills Have Eyes 2, Mirrors and the upcoming Piranha 3D) wants to revive the Cobra in a 3D form. The French director has an old…

As a fellow countrymen (of some sort), I’m always proud when a new Dracula movie gets out there. Also, I’m proud when a bad Dracula movie blows it (like Dracula 2000). That being said, there is a new one now! Director Alex Proyas (Knowing, Dark City) will start shooting his new movie, Dracula: Year Zero next year, in Australia. Why there, no one knows.
It will be a supernatural thriller or a historical drama (choose one) I think, and I can tell you by now there will be no London adventure …

And when we all thought Sunrise couldn’t get more Gundams out there. Well, given the slow phase at which Gundam Unicorn OVA’s are appearing, its hard to think when they had time to work at another Gundam project, called, like the title says, Mobile Suit Gundam Gunpla Builders Beginning G! In Japanese, Mokei Senshi Gunpla Builders Beginning G! Yeah! That’s a name!
But what many sites are saying is that Sunrise will not treat this new series like a major Gundam anime, but more like a side series, like SD Gundam: …
