Quick Bites
Dead or Alive Ultimate is a 2-disc set for Xbox. Disc one will have a port of the original DOA Saturn edition; this means everything from the retro Model 2-board graphics to Lei Fang's string bikinis should be intact. Disc two will have a remade, remastered version of Dead or Alive 2, with character models and a graphic engine from DOAX (DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball). This should make DOA2 Ultimate look even better than Dead or Alive 3. The absence of Xbox cuties Christie and Hitomi sucks though. DOAU will see release in Japan this coming March.
Virtua Fighter 5 is in the making! WOOHOO!!! More fighting action from Sega.
Animax is cool. My only problem is... WHAT THE HELL IS TECHNOLYZE ALL ABOUT??!? I've given up trying to figure it out...
No more LOTR this Christmas... unless you count the Extended version DVDs of The Return of the King which will supposedly have at least an hour of extra scenes and footage. Saruman... Witch King versus Gandalf... Aragorn and company versus the Corsairs of Umbar...MORE Pelennor Fields... WOOHOOO!!!
The Elektra movie starring Jennifer Garner (reprising her role from Daredevil) should kick arse. I just hope they give her the sexy red costume this time...
Zombie flicks should take a chunk out of theaters this year. Resident Evil: Apocalypse will have nubile undead killer Milla Jovovich reprising her role as Alice. The last time we saw her she had just woken up in an Umbrella Lab after having her boyfriend taken away and injected with the Nemesis virus. Now, she's still walking around naked except for a lab coat and a shotgun in the middle of a seemingly empty city. Well, we know quite well that the city is anything but abandoned... This time around, Alice will be joined by characters from the game, including Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera (the latter played by Mummy alumni Oded Fehr).
The other zombie movie is a remake of Dawn of the Dead. A ragtag group of survivors, including a pajama-clad housewife and a pregnant woman will have to fight off HORDES of rabid, flesh-eating zombies (are there any other kind?). Looks cool. This lurches into theaters in March.
I just saw XBOX versions of Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX! Incredible. I am thinking that these are ports or conversions of the PC versions of these classic RPGs. I don't think I can dedicate as much time to re-playing these gems as I did before. It'll still be a kick to have these discs for posterity/archive purposes.
A videogame version of the comic 100 Bullets is coming...
An Angel Ace movie casting thought... Victor Garber would make a great Gregor. He's already a kick-ass agent as Jack Bristow in Alias, playing a stoic, stone-faced and formidable CIA agent perfectly (What clinched it for me was one episode where Jack fights his way out of an SD6-laid trap in a movie theater- this guy is bad-ass!). He could be a great fill for the role of our girl Angel's Rock of Gibraltar mentor and guardian. I wonder if he could speak in a Russian accent?
Later then!
