Although journalism has its rewards, one can not deny that there is danger to it, especially when a journalist is dealing with a controversial and even dangerous kind of issue or news. This is the story of Sound of My Voice as it follows a journalist investigation about a strange cult.

Nope you won't find a man-eating or "satanic" cult here, only those weird type. You know, the type of cult that has an eccentric leader claiming that she came from the future. Is there any mystic or scientific truths to such absurd (if not insane) claims, or it is just another case of a vile manipulative con-artist with devious means leading its blind followers? The only way to unravel its mystery is to actually check it out.

4:44 Last Day On Earth Film Trailer Review

What if Science has dropped its final news, that a world would specifically end in this exact hour of a particular date. No buts or ifs, just plain facts, plain and simply end of the Earth. 4:44 Last Day On Earth is another film that tackles such seemingly potential future and depressing scenario.

I for one am particularly curious to see this "art" film. The film would obviously (as the title state) follow the people's lives, specifically one particular couple. The portrayals look top-notch which and plays with the idea of what would "actually" and realistically be like if people know that they only have a day, even minutes away from the end of the world.

Dark Shadows Film Trailer Review

Director by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp both admit to be fans of the original television soap, so there is hope that this would be the perfect and loyal film adaptation of that cult classic television show, right? Well, no! According to MTV, Tim Burton has opted "for gonzo comedy that should please many but may rile fans of the original soap opera."

As for someone who have never been exposed to such old gothic series, nor interested (that much) to goth themed shows in general, seeing the trailer alone is more than enough to excite me. The Dark Shadows' trailer looks hilarious and the right sort of weirdness expected from a Tim Burton and Johnny Depp film. I for one am hyped up for this film and will definitely see this once it hits the theaters this May 2012.

The Amazing Spider-Man Game Trailer Review

This latest Spider-Man game came from the same team that brought us Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Spider-Man: Edge of Time so you might have an idea of what they game might possibly look and feel like. The big question is will their latest Spider-Man game be an improvement of the studio's first two Spidey game or will it have the exact same flaws as the first two.

Thanks to the popularity of the Batman Arkham games, gamers standards and taste when it comes to superhero video games have been cranked up on an extreme level. There have been a plethora of Spider-Man video games but so far none have come close to perfection as what the Batman Arkham game series had accomplish. With that, there is really a high expectation both with the film and video game under The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. With a more darker tone, hopefully it will be the Spider-Man that everyone has been waiting for.

Ultimate Spider-Man The Animated Series Trailer Impressions: From Spectacular to Ultimate...?

Ultimate Spider-Man or Ultimate Spider-Man The Animated Series is a new American television animated series based on Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's Marvel superhero character (icon) Spider-Man. Ultimate Spider-Man is written and produced by Brian Bendis, a primary architect of the Ultimate Marvel Universe who also launched Ultimate Spider-Man back in 2001, alongside Paul Dini, and Man of Action (Steven T. Seagle, Joe Kelly, Joe Casey, and Duncan Rouleau), creators of the animated series Ben 10 and Generator Rex. With such big names working on this latest reiteration of the Spider-Man animated series, will this Ultimate Spider-Man be the first successful animated series under the Marvel and Disney merger?

Ultimate Spider-Man The Animated Series
Plot / Synopsis

Peter Parker assumed the guise of Spider-Man for almost a year. Still in the process of learning how to become a superhero, Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. offers Peter Parker the chance to train to become a real superhero, "The Ultimate Spider-Man". However, Peter will need to first learn how to work with a team of four fellow teenage superheroes like Nova, White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Power Man.

Ultimate Spider-Man The Animated Series Official Trailer Impressions
Ultimate Spider-Man Television Trailer Review

I may not be the biggest fan of the look of this new Spider-Man animated series, but if there is something that I've learned is that to never judge a book by its cover. The same happened to me with Spectacular Spider-Man. For someone who grew up watching the 90's Spider-Man the Animated series, Spectacular Spider-Man's look was a lot "simpler" compared to its predecessor, but with great story, character build-up and progression, not to mention kick-ass fight scenes and gathering of Spider-Man's villains in one point of the show, Spectacular Spider-Man became one of my one of my favorite modern animated series, sadly it got cancelled. The latest animated series which will premiere on Disney XD on April 1, 2012 (April Fools?) has that same strange look but it still deserve some benefit of doubt. It might have the same epic scope in terms of storytelling like what Spectacular had.

Although I gave it this benefit of doubt, I still can't help but to feel something bad about the series. Maybe it is how this trailer is presented. It is feels too light, so for the kids. Well, I know the adults are not the primary market of such superhero series but kids nowadays aren't that innocent either. They are more intelligent and can understand a more edgier and darker themed animated series. Hopefully the Ultimate Spider-Man has more to offer than its misleading "wholesome" and kid-friendly feel as shown in the trailer. And Disney XD April 1, its like an experiment from Marvel and Disney? Hopefully they won't say in the future when it gets cancelled... "That is exactly why we put it on an April Fools debut, to make a foll out of Spider-Man" or something like that.

ParaNorman Film Trailer Review

Let's see a main character that is misunderstood, laughed at, and generally loathed by the rest of the characters turns out to be the hero that will save the day. Hmm now where have I seen that kind of plot?

What the stop motion animated film lacks in original plot, it makes up for with its visual presentation. ParaNorman is a good-looking 3-D stop motion animated film, and although we have seen such kind of storyline before it still somehow intrigues me a bit. ParaNorman seems to reference various popular horror icons as seen in the trailer. It is "too cute" to simply put it and this might become an advantage or disadvantage for the film. Will it be just a kids film or a film for the whole family? What is this cursed that threatens the town? How can a mere kid who can talk to communicate with ghosts fend off a horde of the undead and ultimately save the day?

Frankenweenie Trailer Impressions: Tim Burton's Back with the 3-D Stop Motion Animated Film Remake of His 1984 Short Film

Frankenweenie Film Trailer Review

Tim Burton is back ready to scare the hell out of the 21st century children with Frankenweenie. To an adult perspective, Frankenweenie may very well be another kid's film, but if you carefully look pass that aspect, the ideas and the general dark presentation (theme) of the film is more likely aim for adults. It is perfect right? An animated film that everyone can enjoy.

Tim Burton has been known for his usually dark and quirky-themed movies which extends to Frankenweenie. If you lost someone dear to your life, it is only natural to want them back but of course it is not possible, but what if you can? That is what this stop motion animated film plays with. This time, Burton went with the animation to avoid possible conflict which his original 1984 Frankenweenie encountered: It was said that Burton was fired by Disney after the film was completed; the studio claimed that he had wasted company resources and felt the film was too scary for young audiences. But times are changing and so does kids tolerance with violence and dark themes. But to probably play safe, Burton may went with the 3-D stop motion animated remake.
