Bruce Willis cast in Kane & Lynch

By Brendon Lindsey

Kane & Lynch. Arguably the most important game of 2007, all because of one little review on GameSpot. The game featured a good story, some nice characters, and some nice action. Unfortunately, they forgot the gameplay. I was happy when they announced an upcoming movie; finally, the story without playing through the game!? Awesome!
Even more […]

The winners and losers of the 80th annual Academy Awards

By Brendon Lindsey

I’ll admit it, I didn’t even know the Oscars were happening tonight. When you’ve dealt with them before, know people who have been there, and have been coerced into supporting the writers during the writer’s strike by ignoring any and all Oscar news things slip by. That being said, they did happen tonight. I didn’t […]

Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool in new Wolverine movie

By Brendon Lindsey

Variety has apparently confirmed the longstanding rumor that Ryan Reynolds will portray the Merc with the Mouth, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, in the upcoming Wolverine: Origins flick. Deadpool, a healer much like Wolverine, is easily my favorite character in any Marvel or DC comics. Whether it’s his rampant crossdressing to be part of the X-Men, […]
