Is Captain America too Patriotic?

Director Joe Johnston says Captain AMERICA won’t be a “jingoistic American flag-waver” in the upcoming movie: Captain America: The First Avenger. “He’s just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don’t change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier; you have to stay who you are inside, that’s really what’s important more than your strength and everything.” Johnston seems to be

You Are Umasou – Omae Umasou dana

You Are Umasou is a movie adaptation of a children’s book by Tatsuya Miyanishi, about a Tyrannosaurus that adopts a baby Ankylosaurus, who mistakes “Omae Umasou dana” (you look delicious) for its name. Umasou certainly does look delicious, as does the rest of this heartwarming world. You Are Umasou feels like The Land Before Time meets Studio Ghibli. I dare you to watch the trailer and not smile.

Anime Unleashed Returns!

Nearly 5 years after it was cancelled, Anime Unleashed will return to G4 in 2011! G4 announced at Comic-Con that it has acquired the exclusive (American) rights to 4 new anime inspired Marvel series: Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, and Blade. They won’t just have a Japanese feel to them, the series are also set in Japan. But don’t worry, the characters themselves will remain faithful. The plots were written by

Highschool of the Dead – Review

School’s out forever when zombies show up for class. But the undead aren’t the only pus heads hungry for the flesh of young girls – so are fanboys! After all, just because these girls are about to become zombie lunch, doesn’t mean they can’t be a sexy zombie lunch. Highschool of the Dead delivers with gratuitous amounts of fanservice. It’s not just warranted things like bouncing body parts or ripped

Cat Shit One: The Animated Series

In a world populated by animals, rabbits Packy and Botasky combat camel terrorists in the Middle East as part of special forces unit known as Cat Shit One. The animation doesn’t just look great, it feels spot on. The characters’ movements are almost too realistic. Packy and Botasky move just like you’d expect rabbits walking on their hind legs to move, waddling back and forth on their big floppy feet. 

Taliban Guerrillas

According to the Chinese newspaper People’s Daily, “Taliban forces have taught monkeys how to use the Kalashnikov, Bren light machine gun and trench mortars. They also teach them how to identify and attack soldiers wearing U.S. military uniforms.” The Taliban isn’t worried about accusations of animal cruelty though. In fact, they’re counting on it. “If a person who loves animals knows the monkeys may be injured in the war, they

Vampires Suck – Review

From the people that brought you the Scary Movie franchise comes Vampires Suck, a parody of the Twilight films. And while there’s a lot of source material to lampoon, you don’t necessarily need to have seen it all to get high-brow jokes such as vampires like to eat Count Chocula cereal. Vampires Suck covers the first two Twilight films but also manages to S-U-B-T-L-Y reference the third despite it not

Aquaman Vs BP

If you thought fishermen were upset about the BP oil spill, just wait until you see Aquaman’s response in Brightest Day #5. He doesn’t stop at just this one wayward well. Aquaman decides to shut down ALL offshore drilling arguing that “This fuel has done more damage than good to the world. It’s perpetuated war, greed, and corruption.” Ironically, some supervillains interrupt Aquaman’s transition from superhero to eco-terrorist. PHOTOSHOP DISCLOSURE:

Wonder Woman’s “New” Costume!?

In issue 600, Wonder Woman faces her most tyrannical opponent yet – the fashion police! A change in the time stream has the Amazon Princess growing up in America instead of Paradise Island, yet looking less American than ever. “The original costume was the American flag brought to life,” explains artist Jim Lee. “This one is a little more universal.” In truth, the only thing universal about it is the
