8 comic book characters Hollywood is ignoring

The 1996 Jim Wynorskistraight-to-video atrocityneed not even be considered. Johnny Alpha fans can be found fantasising about aStrontium Dogmovie inthis forum. Satana even has a brother with spin-off potential,Daimon Hellstrom, another Marvel creation of the occult-obsessed 1970s. She mostly does this by releasing the several-stories-high basilisk, a horned beast of incredible, hell-fuelled power.

Top 5 writer’s block movies

The mocking blankness of the empty page has sent many a screen scribe screwy. Here’s how five of them fared… There is nothing clever about describingAdaptation, because Kaufman so carefully writes exactly what hes doing into the screenplay. Donald is full of vitality, optimism, success and Hollywood industry jargon. He also provesAdaptationsmost mutable character, bringing the endless rumination to a poignant conclusion of self worth. Hollywood can only take one taboo at a time, it seems....

Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades Nintendo DS review

Fancy playing a guitar with the help of your Nintendo DS? Seeing videogames being shrunk down to fit on portable consoles is nothing new. Owners of handhelds are so numerous, they form a demographic that simply cannot be ignored. What chance, then, doesGuitar Heroon the DS have? Even the DS can handle that with relative ease. The real obstacle this title faces is the fact theGuitar Herogames rely heavily on a fairly large guitar-shaped controller....

Interview with the Vampire Blu-ray review

The contoversial (at the time) adaptation of the Anne Rice novel gets the hi-def treatment… Would the veins, translucent skin and pale demeanour look as good as it should? Its not just Winstons work that is enhanced by this transfer. Every set designer should take a little credit for the amount of work put into the film. This is also true audio-wise. But this also hasnt been altered since the DVD release nearly six years ago....

Parking Dash PC review

A decent enough way to spend a lunch hour. All the same, I thoughtParking Dashwas a bit of a strange one. Yes, youre parking cars, but theres no steering, reversing or gear changing involved. As with all of the otherDashgames, you simply point and click. By a mere coincidence, theres a parking crisis in the town. I know lets use the piece of land as a parking lot! And there is the plot....

The Steve Coogan ready reckoner

In a relatively short space of time, Steve Coogan has worked his way into Britains comedy elite. ), this set the benchmark for his future TV shows to reach. The shows work so well because they were kept as one-offs. I doubt a series would have been anywhere near as successful. If youve never seen them, track them down. The Calf segments are both excellent but its Duncan Thickett who still gets the best laughs from me....

The Den of Geek interview: Dara O’Briain

He hosts Mock The Week. He’s done a massively successful stand-up tour over the last year. Could you shout for me the lyrics to Im a teapot short and stout? I look forward to it. This will really shift DVDs! I said defenestration And they said okay. And Im like: do you not want an anecdote or a clever, funny reason? And she said no! I just wanted to know your favourite word!...

Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen Nintendo DS review

TheDragon Questseries is notable for its refinement and simplicity. Square-Enixs other big-hitter (at least this side of the world) is the bombastic and pompousFinal Fantasyseries. To his cause a band of chosen warriors and magic-wielders are rallied from all over the globe. The monster animations are a particular delight. Chaptersis great to dip into for a few minutes or to play for longer sessions. Rating: 4 out of 5

Band Of Brothers Blu-ray review

One of the most acclaimed mini-series of the last decade makes its Blu-ray debut. And it’s unmissable. Relationships are formed and torn apart, against a storyline recalling some key moments from the war. Its not just the script that setsBand Of Brothersapart, though. Tom Hanks takes one, for instance, while its great to see Phil Alden Robinson directing anything. Added to the Blu-ray are picture-in-picture video commentaries, and an interesting interactive field guide....

Pure PlayStation 3 review

And, despite bringing very little of its own ideas to the party, its absolutely brilliant. Instead of snowboards, though,Purerevolves around ATV racing similar to the quad-bikes inMotorstorm. Races are split into several categories. you oughta perform tricks to keep your fuel tank full, and the last one standing is the winner. you could choose between a racing or freestyle ATV, which emphasise speed or trickability, respectively. But theres more fun to be had in creating your own rig....

The Den of Geek interview: Russell Howard

What were gigs one to four like? Well, gig one was really great. Two was pretty good. Three was horrific, four was great because that was the semi-final, and then five was the final! Jimmy Carr was in the final, and Dave ODocherty who won the Perrier this year. Did you come up against the perception that 19 year olds arent supposed to be that funny? Ad content continues below...
