Resident Evil 6 trailer

Coming hot on the heels of the newest resident evil movie trailer (Resident Evil: Retribution) we get our first glimpse of Resident Evil 6. The new trailer seems to bring together charterers from all over the Re univerese including Leon S Kennedy & Chris Redfeild, in a new world spanning story that seems to see a zombie outbreak in both Russia & China.

One of the more interesting things I picked up on is the new smack talking merc charter as well as what looks like the ability to take cover.  Color me excited for this one but color me even more so for the new Umbrella focused RE game Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

Grouch Bite: SOA Plus Updates

A quick & dirty look at the newest season  FX's hit biker drama Sons Of Anarchy.

Syfy Orders Booster Gold TV Series.

Looks like the channel that gave us battlestar galectica is looking to get into the superhero racket and oh boy did they pick a one to adapt to the small screen. Booster Gold for those of you who don't have the time to immerse yourself in comics 24/7 is a time traveling janitor who goes back in Marty Mcfly style to fins his fame and fortune as a super hero. A lot of work has gone into Booster golds character over the last few years so it only seems right Hollywood would come knocking some time soon.

The only problem is the show is being brought to us by Greg Berlanti the man responsible for the craptacular Green Lantern movie & No Ordinary Family so you just know this will be another master piece.

Live Action Samurai Jack Movie In The Works?

Immortals director Tarsem Singh' says that he would be very interested in adapting Genndy Tartakovsky's feudal samurai fantasy epic 'Samurai Jack. While I've never loved Singhs work I feel he might just be the man for the job when it comes to adapting a show with such a unique visual flair as Samurai Jack.

 

 

 The directors project big project will be a will be a dark fantasy retelling of Snow white starring Thor himself as the Huntsman.

 

Grand Theft Auto 5 Trailer & Rumours

By now everyone and their mothers are raving about the new teaser trailer for Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto 5. As a long time fan of the series you can bet I was up bright and early to catch even the smallest glimpse of the new game. It appears the new game will again take place in Los Santos GTA's answers to LA. While no word yet as to who the main charter will be or any other story details but the rumor mill is already running wild.

Avengers Trailer Realased.

Yeah its all basically hero's shots and other such tricks all meant to get people excited who aren't already but I have to admit this is a really great trailer & I know for sure this Grouch is sure won over.

Epic PS3 Long Live Play Commercial.

I've been a Playstaion owner pretty much my entire gaming life. And while I love my machine Sony often makes choices that dose my head in. Choices like having a trailer for a new system be headed up by creepy baby dolls or Kevin Butler. While Nintendo celebrates its vast history in its trailers & X-box swaggers around to its own sense of bravado poor PS3 always felt left out to me that is Until NOW!

Its a beautiful trailer that celebrates  both the player and some of gaming's greatest modern characters and of course the whole thing is held together by a score that could melt an Ice Giants heart.

Mad Hatter To Appear In AC.

Eagle eyed gamer & youtube user , MrKQGaming has managed to catch a glimpse of yet another Villain in the upcoming Batman Arkham City. Fans will ofocurse know this funny little man as Jervis Tech AKA The Mad Hatter, a master of mind control who just happens to be obsessed with the works of Louis Carol. No word yet on who will voice the character personally I was always a fan of Roddy Mcdowells performance of the charter in Batman TAS. 

Will the Hatter be this games answer to the mind bending Scarecrow from form the first Arkham game? Only time will till but all I can say is October 18th cant come quick enough.

New Batman Series In 2013

I'll admit i was never a fan of The Batman or even the newer Batman Brave & The Bold, I often found myself wishing that Bruce Timm and company would do an updated Batman show to coincide with the Christopher Nolan Batman film series. Unfortunately Beware The Batman dose not look like an answer to prays.

Besides the ugly animation and the inclusion of new villains like Mr.Toad & Dr.Pyg from what I can tell for this one image it appears Batman will be aided in his fight against crime by lesser known hero Katana & what appears to be a gun touting Alfred of all things.

To be fair Alfred is probably the only person Batman approves of using guns, but only in a defense means and never side by side with Batman himself. Only time will tell what this new series will bring but all I can say is thank god Young Justice is still on TV and good as ever.

Top 10 Trippy Cartoon Segments

Spark your joints, drop your acid and get ready to expand your mind as TheDVDGrouch delves deep into some of the craziest cartoon scenes from his youth.

Bane Costume Reveal TDKR

You know sometimes I seriously forget I even have a blog, but you know what reminds me? Batman news & today we have a dozy.

Pictures from the set of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises have been released and these pictures finally give us a look the movies long awaited villain Bane played by Tom Hardy. 

As I've stated elsewhere I feel the mask is a little too Hannibal lector when it could easily be more Lucha Libre to fit with the charterers Latin back story & background. I like the idea of him wearing braces and other such protective gear but I think most people are going to flip their nerd shit over his coat in the same way they did about Jokers makeup in Dark Knight. I personally have no problem the coat especially seeing as early reports state a good chunk of the movie may take place during winter.

In the same picture Bane is also seen with what appears to be a group of heavily armed mercs whether they are on his side or not still is yet to be seen.

Regardless of what the new movie brings I doubt t it will be hard to top Banes last appearance on the big screen.
