Disney Acquires Marvel... End of Times???


Well it looks like our children are going to be assaulted w/ horrible crossovers for decades to come... With Disney buying Marvel for $4Billion, I now fear a Wall-E and Wolverine series (they will be the perfect odd couple, oh and picture this... Wall-E rummaging through everything to find silverware. This silverware he now holds between his fingers, just so he can be like his bestest buddy *w00LVeeee*...)

Anyway, more HERE thanks to /Film

Harbor Master - Game


I would be posting more today if it wasn't for my new addiction... What is that addiction you ask???

Well considerate reader, first off I just want to say "Thanks for asking"; and second, that addiction is to a game called Harbor Master (iPhone/Touch)...

If you remember a little game called Flight Control, then I'll just say Harbor Master is like that, but w/ boats, and its faster, and you get a cannon, and cyclones, and secret Pocket God episode...

If you don't know Flight Control (and theirfore have no refrence for this game), then I'll just have to let you know that you play as a "Harbor Master" in a "busy harbor", your job is to direct cargo ships into the proper docks... THE END

Buy it HERE for .99c

"The Boat That Rocked" Does Just That...


I was quite surprised when a friend described this film and I had no clue what he was talking about... It seems that half the world has watched this film (way back in April) and I haven't, and it's all b/c I'm apparently on the wrong half of the world... So please bear w/ me here if you're one of the lucky ones to have seen this in the theater...

The Boat That Rocked is about a band of "rogue DJs that captivated Britain" in the '60s while living/broadcasting on a boat in the North Sea... During this time the British government was opposed to anything that wasn't classical or jazz, and they did all they could to stop the new music from spreading and corrupting it's nation... This is the story of their fight...


It has a fantastic ensemble cast which includes:
  • Bill Nighy
  • Kenneth Branagh
  • Philip Seymour Hoffman
  • Nick Frost
  • Rhys Ifans
And for those of you who know the BBC series "The IT Crowd" you'll recognize both Chris O'Dowd AND Katherine Parkinson...

I highly recommend checking this out when it hits our shores this November 6th...

Steven Spielberg to Produce the Halo Movie



Looks like FSR has found out that Steven Spielberg is "in active negotiations to acquire the Halo film for Dreamworks" This of course kills that rumors that the movie had been scrapped... Although, the question still stands "Do we want to see Halo: The Movie???"

The reason Halo was so popular is b/c it was the game that brought FPS' to the console market... Not to say it was the first FPS on a console, but it was the first to have good controls... All other FPS' up until Halo were a struggle to play, and all FPS' since have copied Halo in some way...

This of course doesn't mean it deserves a move, but when we live in a time when any franchise can be immortalized in film (i.e. Asteroids) why the hell not use Halo...

Check out more HERE from FSR
