Banana Unpeeled: X-Men First Class Review

June 28, 2011 by Patrick

Okay, I know I’m a couple of weeks late.  I actually saw this movie a week after it came out, but I’m still oozing from its excellence that I still have the need put my thoughts into words.  After a jumble of bad publicity photos and promotion, including a bad first image and a questionable first trailer, the movie still impressed.  Anchored heavily towards character development, an idea absent in ‘Last Stand’ and ‘Origins: Wolverine’, this film succeeds in reviving the interesting world of X-Men.  Any cheesiness and awkward moments observed are balanced out with strong performances by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to make First Class a welcome edition to the X-Men franchise.

Visual Character Profile: The Joker

June 27, 2011 by Patrick

Absolutely Horrifying, but captures him so well. By Lucius-Ferguson

The Joker is one of them most colorful characters in the comic book universe.  We most remember him by Heath Ledger’s performance and praised him for his take on the Joker.  But artists have been trying to capture the Joker for years in the form of a single picture.  This is a gallery of madness.  One might think the artists themselves have gone mad trying to capture the essence of the chaotic Joker.  Hit the jump for the gallery.

Friday Banana Tree: Game of Thrones Season Finale

June 24, 2011 by Patrick

Top Banana

Warning Spoiler Alert!  I originally had a more spoilerific picture with Danny and her new dragons at her side, but I guess I had to preserve the innocence of the uninvolved. HBO’s Game of Thrones is a televised version of the acclaimed book: A Game of Thrones.  In the beginning, we were introduced with a slew of numerous characters, one could only wonder how they could keep audiences coming back for more each weekend.  But they pulled it off by keeping us shocked and on our toes.  With the death of major characters occurring in nearly every episode and with a finale made unforgettable by hair raising suspense and great story telling, it’s a shame I have to wait nearly nine months until Season 2.  If you don’t have HBO and are unable to watch this miraculous book come to life, it’s a shame and you should reconsider your cable options…Or at least find some website where they’re streaming it.  It’s that much worth it.

Pixar’s Films Ranked Throughout the Years

June 23, 2011 by Patrick

With Cars 2 coming out, I’ve taken another look into Pixar’s past to gawk at their greatness.  Critically, they’re great.  Story-wise, they’re great.  Animation, they’re great.  Always setting the bar.  Watching any new animation is difficult compared to thinking about how much more I’d rather rewatch Toy Story 2 or Monsters Inc.  Today, I’m going to make an attempt at listing and comparing eleven masterpieces by Pixar.   Each films is as good as the last, so just because you’re number 11, doesn’t mean you’re not a good movie.  Hit the Jump to read more.
