Sony and Raimi Say, "Goodbye!"

Film director Sam Raimi and Sony Pictures have decided to call it quits on their attempt to make Spider-Man 4 a reality. The two parties couldn't see eye to eye and decided best to move on.

I felt Raimi did incredible work on his Spider-Man Trilogy. However, many people felt disappointed with Spider-Man 3. I personally loved the flick, but there were moments in it you could feel the creative well beginning to dry up a bit.

After the film's release, Raimi even admitted his displeasure with some of the film's creative side. He wanted to make Spider-Man 4 a reality so that he could have one last great entry in the series.

I think this is for the best. Spider-Man 4 would have been released in 2011, Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker just exited high school and is attending university. Maguire turns 36 in 2011. Yeah, the age thing is hard to cover up. Plus, it would have been 4 years since the last flick. Time sure fly's by.

Everyone is moving on now. Sony has just announced the series will have a reboot, returning Parker and friends to high school for new Spidey adventures. Hooray!

Get'em While Their Hot! MPT Discontinued!

As a kid growing up, Mario was king. As I got older, Zelda took the reigns. During the GameCube era, I fell in love with Samus and her kick ass space adventures. Today, she still remains my queen of Nintendo gaming.

4 months ago, Nintendo and Retro Studios released the Metroid Prime Trilogy. A compilation of all the GameCube and Wii entries. Presented in 16x9 and the first two Cube titles, redone with Wii controls. It's awesome and you should own it.

If you're going to pick it up, do it fast! 1UP is reporting that the collection has been discontinued. Nooo!!!! Not my poor gal! This is a great collection that any gamer should own. So, happy hunting. They're going to be harder and harder to find.

JC's Avatar Is Now The 2nd Biggest Flick... Ever!

James Cameron's Avatar is now the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time. That's not too bad considering it's only been in theatres for three weeks.

According to Box Office Mojo, Jim's mega epic as of right now has made a grand total of $1,131,752,464 worldwide beating out The Return of The King's grand total of $1,119,110,941.

Once again. The film has only been in theatres for 3 weeks. Wow! Let's see if it'll beat out Jim's own Titanic for the #1 spot. Exciting times indeed!

CRISIS UPDATE! BREAKING NEWS! My information was incorrect! It only took Avatar 20 days to make this amount of bling! 20 days! I was off by one day. So there ya go. Avatar took less than 3 weeks to make over 1 Billion dollars.

Sony's CES 2010 3D Extravaganza

Sony just layed the smackdown(rarrrr!!!!) at CES 2010 with mega 3D support announced(triple rarrrr!!!!). Very cool!

It appears that Taylor Swift has become the new "brand ambassador" for all the sweet Sony stuff hitting stores in 2010. This I approve because she is awesome. Sony will release their first 3D only Blu-Ray player the BDP-S770 to coincide with the release of 3D capable Bravia TV's. PlayStation 3 fans will be happy to know that all they'll require is a firmware update, available later in the year, that will allow them to play 3D Blu-Ray's.

Among a mountain of great products announced for the year, Sony's sexy slim DSC-TX7 digital still camera can capture 1920 x 1080 at 60i HD-VIDEO and output in HDMI. Nice!

Pump Up The Storage

The storage on a single layer, blu-ray disc is 25 GB. In the very near future, this will be increased to 33.4 GB thanks to Sony's and Panasonic's wizardry. This also means that dual Layered discs will be able to store more than 66 GB's per disc.

Sick! Like pump it up!

It only took James Cameron's Avatar 17 days to make 1 billion dollars worldwide. We only have two 3-D screens in Saskatchewan. I guess a lot of people wanna see it or have gone multiple times. Again... A billion in 17 days. For any flick 3-D or not... WOW!
