Weaving a story between the end of The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a new game by Monolith Productions for Warner Bros. Interactive. With input by Peter Jackson and WETA workshop, this beautiful looking game "follows a reincarnated ranger out for revenge against the forces of Sauron following his death."

Whatever that means, if Shadows of Mordor lets us explore more of Tolkien's world, I'm down. Oh, and it won Best of E3 this year.

Set for release September 30 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms. Want to see some actual wraith-action gameplay? We got that for you too...

Ignoring the cheese that was Green Lantern, Ryan Reynolds is actually an awesome superhero. Or anti-hero? Sarcastic slayer of evil? 

Either way it's Deadpool and Fox doesn't want us to see it.

This SDCC leaked footage is either the best teaser ever or the revenge of the nerds who worked their asses off on the CGI. You decide!

Enjoy this newly re-posted high-res CGI test footage and make a wish!

***Some close-up stills after the bump***

The more I see of this, the more excited I get!

First off, mark your calendars, we have some 2015 release dates:
May 1: Avengers: Age of Ultron
July 17: Ant-Man

The important thing on that list is the announcement that despite the fact that the first one hasn't released yet, Guardians of the Galaxy is ALREADY green lit for a sequel in 2017!

As for the rest of the panel, you can watch it here:

This won't settle any pub arguments over who should have been cast as Wonder Woman, but I gotta say, Gal Gadot in that costume (what we can see of it) looks promising!  UPDATE: DC just released a high-res version of the pic to get a better look!

Want to build your own ship and travel the 'verse? Do you aim to misbehave?

Then put your captain pants on and ready your pretty floral bonnet, because its time to enter Firefly Online a new MMORPG by Spark Plug Games and Quantum Mechanix.

It was recently confirmed the original cast will voice their characters for the game so that is really exciting! See the new trailer below...

There is not much that needs said here except... NEED MOVIE NOW!

As the cast and producers took the stage and the huge applause died down, the crowd was allowed to view this Season 3 teaser trailer...

More applause (and the desire for it to be October right. now.) Also assurances, despite the one clip in the trailer - yes, Ollie and Felicity finally go and a date, and no, she doesn't die right after! In fact, we are sure to see more of Ms. Smoak and her backstory and time at MIT this season (in an episode called "Oracle" - hint. hint.)

Also, with the addition of Ray Palmer, AKA the Atom, played by Brandon Routh, Oliver will have some competition (that's not evil) for his company, Felicity's attentions, and as a hero. Crossover episodes with The Flash were promised, as well as diving further into Ollie's time with Amanda Waller in Hong Kong where he meets the mysterious Katana.

Oh, and we didn't forget Thea and Malcolm - they were very sly about the direction of that storyline, but according to Willa Holland, "All I can say is that I've had to start hitting the gym a little bit. She's definitely made a big change. There's no more Vertigo, dancing on table tops Thea. The Thea that you saw in Seasons 1 and 2 is gone."

It looks like the new season is ramping up for even bigger things (Ra’s al Ghul!!), and the show and its stars are showing no signs of slowing down.

We have some awesome casting news from HBO's Game of Thrones!
The Sand Snakes! Alexander Siddig! Ahhh!!! <Too much excitement!>

We were unabashedly fangirling over Scarlett Johansson on the way to the movie, and we were still squeeing over her formidable talent on the way out of the theater.

Anyhow, the feature film was much more impressive. I’ve heard rumors that the critics were unimpressed with Lucy, but I have purposely avoided any online or print reviews, so I have only my own unadulterated thoughts and opinions to share.

The film pulls you in right from the very start - I never once thought, “Is this over yet?” or “When will they get to the point of the movie?” In addition to being fast-paced, Lucy is visually striking, with strong imagery throughout.

I love action movies - and Lucy certainly has the feel of a good action movie. When she first realizes her power, there were a few sequences that reminded me of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill: Vol. 1. It was magnificent to see a female lead with this kind of boldness and determination.

And, like all action movies worth their salt, Lucy features a car chase that is fun to watch, even if it doesn’t contribute much to the plot.

The sci-fi aspects of a movie were somewhat less impressive. I realize the declaration that humans only access ten percent of their brains has been proven to be pseudo-science at best, but it was still interesting to hear Morgan Freeman’s character speculate on the untapped potential of the human mind.

The visuals accompanying Lucy accessing this untapped potential were intriguing at first, but eventually some unusual and mostly unexplained physical symptoms evidenced themselves, and this was odd at best.

The movie did end in a somewhat abrupt manner, and I was startled when I realized it was only about ninety minutes long. My initial thought was that some subplot must have been cut to edit the movie for time, and I will be curious to see the Director’s Cut if that is ever released on Blue-ray or in digital format.

I’m not good at rating movies (or books, or anything else) on a simple scale of one to five, so I won’t try to do that here. My overall impression of Lucy was positive, and I recommend that you see it for yourself - and come back to share your thoughts with us after you do!
