I ventured out to the newly renovated Bloor
Hot Docs Cinema* the other night to take in some of the best in genre film with
a legion of other people who love these movies as I do. With a lineup of Cuban
zombie opus JUAN OF THE DEAD and haunted house chiller THE PACT, we were in for
a night indeed
Greetings mutants!
THE SECRET WORLD is an upcoming MMO that imagines a world
where all of the nightmarish monsters, myths and legends you've heard of in
your lifetime are, in fact, real. The humans of this universe battle against
these horrific creatures in a seemingly endless war that you are about to join.
Fango spoke with the game’s senior producer and creative director Ragnar Tørnquist
about the mechanics, some of the terrifying monsters you'll face and how the
special locations in player vs. player mode will impact the game. Read on!
Ask nearly any Xbox 360 owner about Kinect, and most would
agree the hardware is a serious piece of technology that doesn't quite have
enough high quality releases outside of casual experiences such as DANCE
CENTRAL. Which is the primary reason why the announcement of From Software and
Capcom's sequel STEEL BATTALION: HEAVY ARMOR was met with such a high level of
anticipation and optimism. A game that provides serious first-person action
combined with a mech simulator is enough to drive anyone to purchase a Kinect
to propel the hardware into an entirely new degree of success. So, it’s a
relief to see at least the majority of these high standards met.
The title of Astron-6’s making-of FATHER’S
DAY doc is inspired by a death-march like motto, NO SLEEP, NO SURRENDER, and
the teaser shows us some of the hilarious and insane conditions the cast and
crew had to endure while making a $10, 000 feature look like a million dollars.
This will prove to be something to watch for all indie filmmakers out there. You
can expect to see the blood, sweat and tears that were poured into the movie,
but perhaps the most interesting aspect of this documentary is that it is being
released by the film collective independently, and will not be appearing on the
FATHER’S DAY set from Troma.
When I started this blog I initially
pitched it to our Commander in Chief, Chris Alexander, as a one off piece for
the print magazine. I wanted to tell the story of a new wave of indie
filmmakers who were out there on the fringes, making incredible films in
innovative new ways. I quickly realized this couldn’t be some one-off piece as
there was a real scene and movement out there that I felt needed to be
documented so Chris kindly agreed on this blog.
When Suda 51 and Warner Bros. Interactive announced LOLLIPOP
CHAINSAW last year, heads were turned, people were offended, but most
importantly, gamers were given a glimpse at an interesting new take on what both
zombie and action titles could encompass. LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW looked promising,
and a game this unique obviously has unlimited potential. Luckily, LOLLIPOP
CHAINSAW more than lives up all of the pre-launch hype, and will give players one hell of a wild ride.
