It is hard to believe that 25 years have passed since that summer day when I first watched “Ghostbusters”. The clever mix of comedy and adventure and a stellar cast made the film a pop culture phenomenon that has endured as a classic, despite the misstep of the sequel which failed to capture the magic of the original. While the second film may not have been the hit the first one was, it was still a success and fans have waited years and endured countless rumors of the next outing of the group. A… Continue

The road trip gone awry has been a staple of Hollywood comedies for years. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope provided tons of laughs with their “Road To” films which have continued with films ranging from “Road Trip” to the Chevy Chase “Vacation” film series. In the new movie “The Hangover”, Director Todd Phillips follows upon his many successes which include “Old School”, and “Starsky and Hutch” to create one of the funniest films in recent memory.

When Doug (Justin Bartha) is about to be married, his… Continue

Frosty from Collider cornered producer Tony Scott at the "Taking of Pelham 123" junket and asked him point-blank what the deal is with this new "Alien" film. According to Scott, who will produce alongside brother Ridley, the film is actually a prequel to the 1979 film. Phew! Still could be tripe, but atleast there won't be a need to recast Ripley!

You can forget about Sigourney Weaver and Ridley Scott reuniting for another ‘’Alien’’ movi… Continue

Recently I got the chance to speak with actor Chris Showerman about his new film “The Land that Time Forgot”. I want to thank Chris for taking the time to talk about the film and his future and past work.

GVK: How did you become involved with The Land That Time Forgot?

I worked with C. Thomas Howell in a movie called Big Game. I loved working with him and have always looked for an opportunity to work with him again. He beat me to the punch when he called and asked me to climb aboard The Land t… Continue

Usually games based upon super hero movies succeed about as much as movies based upon video games. Thankfully the talented people at Raven Software and Acvtivision have crafted what is probably the best super hero themed game ever with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The game is based on the film of the same name, but expands upon the title character in much greater detail than the film did.

Players take control of Wolverine, and start out in the jungle on a series of missions after your helicopter i… Continue

Following up the legendary first two Terminator films was no easy task. Without series creator, James Cameron. many fans found “Terminator: Rise of the Machines” to be lacking the depth, action, and character of the earlier films. When Director McG was announced to continue the war between humanity and the machines in “Terminator Salvation” fans feared that the series might become a campy action film in the vein of the directors “Charlie’s Angels” films. Thankfully for fans, the film more than d… Continue

In Demigod, Stardock has deftly blending Real Time Strategy and Role Playing. The game tasks players to become a god through a series of challenges and battles. The two main player types are generals and assassins and each has their own style. While playing as an assassin, players control a character and earn money and experience as he defeats enemies and can earn weapons, new skills, and spells as his experience grows.

The General mode is much like a Real Time Strategy game as players take com… Continue

With declining attendance at conventions and a dwindling audience for recent films and the last Star Trek series, Enterprise, Paramount was desperate to find a way to breathe new life into their franchise. So they pinned their hopes on director J.J. Abrams. Even with a string of hit movies and television series under his belt, some believed that Abrams was facing an uphill battle in trying to resuscitate Star Trek, with its legions of rabid fans obsessively protective of the series’ 40-plus year… Continue
