Castillo as Mercury Black Jack Pattillo as Junior Margaret Tominey as Melanie and Miltia Malachite Adam Ellis as Tukson Jason Rose as Gen. James Ironwood Patrick Rodriguez as the Shopkeeper Jen Taylor (Cortana in Halo) as the Narrator Synopsis In a world of magic and monsters, four young huntresses-in-training enter Beacon Academy to hone their skills and try their best to get along with each other. Story: B Rooster Teeth, the company behind the popular Red vs. Blue series, presents to us their homage to modern anime and role-playing games. RWBY starts off with an action-filled pilot episode, as Ruby Red uses her Crescent Rose scythe to fend off against a group of thugs. Then the series slows its pace to introduce the central characters and mix both anime and western styles of comedy in between. Animation: B+ The cel-shaded animation is rendered using Poser Pro 2014. Some simplistic designs and lack of detail are signs of the series' low budget. Despite these shortcomings, the presentation wows viewers with its lovely mix of light and dark colors, and the way it captures the anime look. Soundtrack: A- Perhaps the show's strongest point is the soundtrack, which consists of the punchy power metal-oriented opening theme "This Will Be the Day" and an array of different ending theme songs. The Bottom Line RWBY may be low-budget and short on running time, but it sure beats whatever is on Cartoon Network these days. It's also one of the better western tributes to anime.

  2. Throughout all this argument, I had completely forgotten two valid facts about Ben Affleck: 1. He played Superman once... sort of. Affleck played George Reeves in the 2006 biographical drama Hollywoodland. He said in some interviews that the role completely turned his career around for the better after struggling with Daredevil and Gigli. 2. He was da bomb in Phantoms, yo!
  3. Eventually, when the seventh film starts production, The Fast and the Furious will have its own thread. In the meantime, here's an update: - Jason Statham is the new villain. - Dwayne Johnson has confirmed his return in this film. - Female MMA fighter Ronda Rousey has been in negotiations to join the cast. She is currently busy with The Expendables 3. - Tony Jaa, famous for the Thai martial arts film Ong-Bak, will make his Hollywood debut in this film. Asian Star Tony Jaa Joins Fast & Furious 7
  4. If that's the case, I'm all in for bringing JCVD back in the series as a Double Impact reference. And if they do bring in Bolo, they should pick up this guy as well.
  5. Time to share another guilty pleasure: One-Hit Wonders. Every once in a while, there's that one cheesy song that you're guilty of having in your playlist. And that one song is the only known contribution by that artist. So, what's your one-hit wonder song in your music collection?
  6. You know who should've been approached to star in this movie series? Carl Weathers. He's worked with Sly, Ah-nuld and Dolph in the past. And admit it: you mark out every time you watch Predator and catch this scene:
  7. “Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him.” - Zack Snyder “Holy sh!t… BEN AFFLECK IS THE NEW BATMAN!!! Do you know what this means? It means that I’ve seen Batman naked!!!” - Kevin Smith Miramax: Ben Affleck Is Batman
