To make a long story short this is how the plot goes… King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) is on a blood quest for the ultimate annihilating weapon: Bow of Epirus

The Bullseye? Mount Olympus. Why? Cause killing and overthrowing Gods to become a greater God is always a human motivation. OMG! Is there any hope for mankind besides Hercules, Kratos or Spartacus?  Yes, and for all Gods that prefer not to interfere with mortal issues…

Zeus (Luke Evans) chooses the Minotaur slayer:  Theseus! (Henry Cavill) for the avenging job. Theseus then, with the guidance of Greek Oracle hottie: Phaedra (Freida Pinto) embarks into a “titanic” hitman squad journey for King Hyperion’s ugly head.

End of story.

Just for kicks differences:

In the Immortal movie, Greek Oracle fortuneteller: Phaedra aids Theseus in his avenging journey against King Hyperion.

In Greek Soap Opera Mythology Theseus is husband to Phaedra. Who knows what goes behind the scenes…

In the Immortal movie King Hyperion is another sick old bastard in search of heavenly powers.

In Greek Soap Opera Mythology Hyperion was one of the Twelve Titans.

Bottom line and what to expect?

If you dig 300 style art direction and mutilation blood fest then your eyeballs will feel in battle heaven with this movie.

                          

It’s code
and Bruce Willis and his crew of retired old timer killers have a green light for payback assassinations. RED, the graphic novel from writer Warren Ellis and artist Cully Hamner will open fire in multiplexes on October 15.

If there is something to be thankful these days of Hollywood idea shortage is for Graphic Novels. Former hits like Sin City, 300, Watchmen and Kick Ass have proven to be outstanding film proposals from the midst of poor Tinseltown remakes.

Not cheering for Bruce Willis of going rogue as black ops agent Frank Moses (Paul. Original name) are the guys at Langley. Why? To make things simple it’s another day at the office, another day to double cross a CIA agent, only this time Langley messed up with the wrongest dude: Frank Moses. So when the price is right for your head, and believe me everybody has a price, die hard Bruce Willis decides to recruit his old team of senior citizens to kick the ass of CIA goodbye.

Old timer assassins include an awesome stardom cast of Morgan Freeman “Mandela” as Joe Matheson, Helen “The Queen” Mirren plays senior sexy Victoria and John “Athos” Malkovich fits the wits of Marvin Boggs.

Don’t get me wrong, becoming old doesn’t mean you can’t pull the action trigger and action to these seniors means business. Add comedy quotes to the scene and you have an engaging and entertaining flick.

Said it once and would say it again, when it comes to comic book adaptations DC Comics is pulling the right stuff in making it truthful to the big screen. Since we’re not getting any younger RED is the right anti-aging treatment for regenerating your old movie eyes!

                          

Expect no Oscar nominees nor best movie in Cannes for this upcoming flick, however expect mucho macho hot stuff and tons of testosterone as The Expendables blast the big screen on August 13.

Hell yeah! I The action hot shots of the 80′s-90′s like: Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Eric Roberts and Arnold Schwarzenegger

team up with the new gen ass kickers like Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Steve Austin and Terry Crews into a shockwave of your best mercenaries served Á la carte.

Betrayals, thrills and high octane action is the name of the game when this band of brothers fight as soldiers of fortune among the explosive plot. With out a doubt Stallone’s Expendables will be fun and entertaining to watch, but really expect no great drama acting. This movie is not for the cheesy nor the wimps at blood. The Expendables is all about calling your best buddies, have a boys night out, get to see the movie and then grab a few beers and say: “Dude, thank God for The Expendables, is what separates the men from Sex and The City“.

                          

Art comes in many ways, but the way Tranquili has captured and portrayed it, saves anybody’s day even though if it’s for Superman’s sake.

                          

He’s the Michael Jackson, Air Jordan and Stan Lee of digital art, his name: Nico Di Mattia. People like Di Mattia don’t happen twice in life, and when they do come before our eyes, the best thing to do is to honor and salute their work. Here’s to you a tribute to the extraordinary hand and illustration wits of Nicco Di Mattia.

Can your eyesight catchup with the art?

                          

So the score is about to get even as Iron Man walks in for its second delivery. It’s the ultimate battle of superheroes: Stark Industries vs Wayne Enterprises, cockiness vs disguised, player vs detective, power machine vs vigilante… when the two moguls of Marvel and DC Comics go one to one as sequels tie up the match.

It’s no news that Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight franchise has risen the bar for every  super hero dude that pretends to jump into the big screen in how things should be done when understanding the true brand character of a particular hero. Nolan’s work has settled the superhero benchmark for many directors, that become lost in translation when trying to top the record.

Spidey, Hulk 1, Fantastic Four, Superman among other underdogs have failed in doing so. However coincidences of fortune or not, Jon Favreau’s vision of Iron Man, has reached Dark Knight level. It seems that Favreau is the prodigy child for Marvel. Voila, at last! A director that understands the branding of a superhero and what makes him and his surroundings truthful for the fans.  As good as it gets, we are only weeks away of seeing if Iron Man 2 goes on par quality of Gotham’s Caped Crusader or if it only auto destructs in the attempt.

Steve Grant Rogers A.K.A Captain America has started to enlist his movie production to disembark on multiplexes around July 2011. As quoted by movie director Joe Johnston: “…It’s basically the story of how Steve Rogers, becomes Captain America“. Which means we’ll be seeing how The Cap takes on the pinnacle of World War II as his origin story turns him into “The First Avenger“.

But at those days of huge bomb runs and massive artillery fighting all over Europe The Cap did not fight along. Of course, we are talking about the Marvel version of WW II. Few might know that their was a cool team of heroes that liked to kick the shit out of Nazis and all that dealt with Hitler’s deranged 3rd Reich Party. That team of liberty fighters was known as “The Invaders“!  The Invaders was basically the first elite force of superhuman heroes ever to assembled and since this is a Captain America origin story, might we see some slight cameo appearances of them in it? Who knows, but it’s another Marvel Iron Man in Hulk 2 gold mine.  The cameo appearance of , Iron Man 2 on May, the upcoming Thor Movie and the production of The First Avenger Movie might be the clue to the anticipated and expected fan rumor hype down to “Avengers Assemble“.

Just as The Avengers are starting to assemble one way or another, The Captain America movie if cleverly decided by its movie director Joe Jhonston and Marvel might give glimpses of showing off The Invaders or triggering them into their own solo movies. Initially known as the All-Winners Squad which members conform the team that later becomes known as The Invaders? Here you have ‘em:

-Captian America: Injected with super soldier serum Steve Rogers becomes the quintessential Captain we all know
-Namor The Sub-Mariner: The Hybrid King of Atlantis. One of first superhumans  to join in the allied force with The Cap
-Human Torch: Member of the Fantastic Four once battled Namor due to the misunderstud destruction of Atlantis
-James “Bucky” Barnes: Known as Winter Soldier. The Cap’s sidekick that later becomes known as the New Captain America
-Union Jack: The British prime time and on par version with Captain America.
-Toro: Sidekick and apprentice to The Torch
-Spitfire: Daughter of Union Jack I
-Miss America: Married superhero Robert Frank A.K.A. Whizzer
-Whizzer: The speedster of The Invaders. Or Marvel’s on par version of DC’s The Flash

Here you have 'em the "Avengers" of World War II. Can The Cap trigger them out into a movie?

                          

Bonded by blood!

So it’s minotaur tacos, demon ground beef and angel sashimi, served hot and raw right thru your favorite video game console. The underdogs of menace are ready to slice your world as you either take the role of Kratos, Dante or War, but what the heck!…You should savour the flesh rush of these three antiheroes as you get control of their uncontrollable blood thirst! Question is, which famous meat butcher are you?  It’ll all come down to what dimension and timeline suits better off your barbaric personality and gory taste. I give you a brief description on your favorite “meat lovers” …

KRATOS: Once a merciless and brutal Spartan Captain. Fooled by Olympian treachery, he falls in massacring his own family, driven by revenge he travels a titanic journey turning out from a simple mortal to become the known and relentless God of War! With two legendary and bloody tours by his side, Kratos and his infamous “Blades of Chaos” leads the count in the flesh mincing business! Aided by Titans, Kratos 3rd and most anticipated delivery will come on March 2010 when he is ready to take on the head of Zeus and all means that stands in his way. This is the kind of game that would make the king God of ancient Greece to wish he had a God to pray upon!!!

DANTE:  How deep will you fall for love? Think again, cause this is not your typical cheesy love line… This involves a round tour thru the 9 circles of  Hell, and the deeper you go the ruthless it gets!  As Dante’s beloved Beatrice falls into the underworld so is the crusader’s will to rescue her.  Based on the literature classic The Divine Comedy, this is Dante’s first video game appearance as he wields his Death Scythe and literally is ready to raise hell!  Anticipated criticism say Dante’s Inferno is a hard copy of God of War. However, the insane crusader will come out one month before Kratos decides to oblivion Mount Olympus. As Dante’s fury is released earlier into the hellish arena, we’ll see if his gameplay has enough proven valor to step far aside from the Spartan Captain or just becomes a cheap fan of Kratos work. Besides, when it comes to chop-chop and mutilate Satan and his minions to the rhythm of “Disco Inferno“, who cares if the gameplay is alike!  This said, I rephrase the question: Is your love for Hell deep enough?

WAR: When he rides, wrath and despair venture along with him. He’s not your regular route 66 badass lowrider, we are talking about one of the Four Apocalyptic Horsemen: The ravaging War! Accused of triggering the Armageddon beforehand, War is sentenced to death by the Charred Council. Citing one of the Bushido codes: “Death is not eternal, dishonor is”; before awaiting for death row, War makes a request to the Charred Council in order to find out who was behind the released Armageddon as well as to be given a chance to restore his rep and honor.  With the Charred Council’s approval, War begins his campaign of terror slaying and annihilating Angels and Demons as equal, in his way of searching for the hidden truth.  War could’ve escaped death, but he couldn’t  escape the public gossip that the gameplay was like God of War meets Zelda.  Kratos may be the benchmark when it comes to dismembering ways, but unlike the Spartan Captian, War began its soul hunting journey at the first week of January of this year, and so far it has demonstrated that he differs in slaughtering and gameplay ways with the God of War.

SLAYING COMMENTS:

Any of the above mentioned meat manglers that you choose is a fine pick. In a rhetorically way, at the end it’ll all come down between choice and the era you decide to affect… As your butchering means will determine the chain of future and unfortunate events; check the gameplay videos and select your warrior:

KRATOS: To go against the supreme Greek God and its heavens?

DANTE: To do God’s work and defeat Satan in his own domains?

WAR: To restore the order between good and evil without taking sides in battle ground Earth?

My call? Get your stuff together and share the bloodshed memoirs of these three infamous meat mincers!!!
