  • The Lego Movie

    Lego is probably THE childhood favorite toy of mine. I’ve always enjoyed making stuff with the little Swedish Danish blocks, and while I don’t usually deviate from the instructions, the things you can make are near endless. While it was largely a niche toy for most of the past twenty years, it has really exploded in popularity with the current generation of builders.
    When I first heard of the movie, I was stoked, but curious as to how a storyline oculd be made to fit such a wide range of topics. Turns out, it was a pretty simple but powerful premise. In short, a Zero-turned-hero’s actions lead to meaningful change in the real world. The official synopsis:
    The 3DĀ computerĀ animated adventure tells the story of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly averageĀ LEGO minifigureĀ who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

  • 2014: A Sci-Fi Odyssey?

    HAL_9000It’s that time of the year when all the major movie studios begin pushing out teasers and trailers that will compete for the coveted role of summer blockbuster. The well executed summer film becomes legendary, a fixture in pop culture, and is of course extremely profitable. While action films particularly reign supreme as the classic summer blockbuster, there should be some stiff competition for moviegoers dollars in 2014 and beyond. So far, Warner Bros. has released trailers for three potentially powerful hits: A re-imagining of Godzilla, yet another Tom Cruise future-film (Edge of Tomorrow), and a comic adaptation (Jupiter Rising). All three have star potential, but there are some other gems lurking on the horizon for 2014.

    I am particularly excited about Interstellar. If you know me, I am also pretty pumped about Mad Max: Fury Road, which is slated to finally be done in 2015. A detailed list of trailers lies below! (more…)
