No, this is not a trailer for a new game for the upcoming Wii U, but a brilliant fan-made animation from Joel Furtado. To be honest, I would love to see an animated spin off series like this. Make it so Nintendo!

Matthew's Day Off!
After last week's 10 second teaser, here's the full ad featuring Matthew Broderick in a Ferris Bueller style day off.
The blurb:
To celebrate the launch of the all-new 2012 CR-V, Honda brought Ferris Bueller's Day Off back in a big game commercial. We cast Matthew Broderick as himself, skipping out on a day of acting work and living it up in his all-new CR-V. Relive movie history with Honda's fresh twist and wonderful homage to this '80s classic.
Think you're a true fan of Ferris Bueller's Day Off? We hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial. Some are obvious, some are VERY subtle. See how many you can find. #dayoff

Aliens: Colonial Marines Trailer
Love this trailer for the new Aliens: Colonial Marines video game. The music of Clint Mansell from the film Moon, as the acid for blood melts through the floors, works well with this.

New Lockout Trailer
I like the look of this, and Guy Pearce seems to do a mean impression of Snake Plissken, in what sounds like a kind of remake of Escape From New York!
Plot: A man is wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. He's offered his freedom if he can rescue the president's daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates.
So, that's another Sci-Fi flick popping up on my watchlist for this year!

Oscar 2012 Nominations Announced
And so the nominations for this years Oscars have now been announced, with 10 noms for 'The Artist' and 11 for 'Hugo' the main recipients. Lots of what you'd think are glaring omissions, like no noms for 'Drive', only in the Music (Score) for 'Tintin'!
The 'Best Animated Feature' and 'Music (Score)' are my main areas of interest. A bit surprised that there's no nom for Tintin in the Animated Feature category though, hoping 'Rango' pulls it out of the bag, one of my favourite films of last year!
All in all, it looks like this year's Oscars are playing safe! No staying up late to watch this, next month. Meh!
Full list after the jump.

Full Completed Edition Of Star Wars Uncut Now Online
"In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A
New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were
allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within
just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that
poured into the project was unimaginable.
SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media."

Keep Calm And Think Of Ibiza
There's been a version of this floating around the web today. I thought, hmmm, why don't I recreate a version with a photo I took of Ibiza myself, and voila! Here it is:
And so with these dark and cold nights still here, keep calm and think of Ibiza! Roll on the summer!!!!
Currently Reading: The Master Mind Of Mars
 |
| Cover art by Gino D'Achille |
After enjoying the books so far, I've moved onto book six; 'The Master Mind Of Mars'.
Instead of focusing on John Carter, Dejah Thoris and their children like the previous five books, this time we switch to Ulysses Paxton, who after becoming injured in the trenches during the first World War finds himself transported to Mars and taken under the wing of 'mad scientist' Ras Thavas.
So far I'm enjoying this book, and it's good to see a fresh perspective of Barsoom too, with a new and unrelated character introduced and what appears to be a new region too.
At this rate, I'll probably have finished reading the 11 book series by the time the John Carter film is released on March 9!
UPDATE: Finished it, and loved it. As mentioned, good to follow a different character in this series, but we do get an appearance from John Carter at the end. Had a big ol' smile on my face when I finished it too. Really loving the style of writing from Edgar Rice Burroughs as well. Onto the next book 'A Fighting Man Of Mars'.
For more information on 'The Master Mind Of Mars' check out the Wikipedia link

Kerry Conran's pitch to Paramount for 'John Carter'
The journey of getting John Carter to the big screen has been very long and varied, going through many hands and the rights passing between different studios. Back in 2004 when Paramount had the rights, Kerry Conran was attached to direct the film. This is his project pitch to Paramount.
I really like this, featuring artwork and some CGI work - liking the CGI swordfight between what would be Carter and a Thark!
Enjoy!

In other news, Disney have released a new TV Spot for John Carter, check it out. Can't wait to see this!

It's The Apocalypse, But Hey, Let's Surf!
Using a GoPro Surf camera and then creating the special effects using Maya and After Effects on his iMac, Keef70 created this video of people surfing while the world explodes around
them. Cool!
