Stunning.

Just wow. An amazing piece of animation and real-world integration: ‘Pixels’ by obvious genius Patrick Jean. Both the animation, the hommage to old-school games and excellent music make for a true must-see:

I loved the book (another great one by Neil Gaiman), and am really looking forward to seeing Henry Selick’s stop motion movie. The makers even used a rapid prototyping system to produce some of the parts for this movie, and some really imaginative work went into the whole production. Good read.

Funny!

- Watchmen
I’m re-reading the graphic novel right now, a brilliant classic that looks to become one of the major movies of the year.

- Star Trek
Although I don’t care much for prequels generally, this one is a must-see

- Transformers 2
Yah…Michael Bay will probablyt do a great job, but less Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox (although…Megan Fox…) and more robotty goodness please

- X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Loads of SFX goodness featuring my favorite X-Man of all time, Wolverine. Oooh…I’m getting goosepimples…

- Coraline
A brilliant novel by Neil Gaiman in sweet stop-motion by Henry Selick. Okay, this one really should be on top of this list, also due to the fact that it’s out now. Go see it. Run!

- Fanboys
It’s just out, can’t wait.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry…

Leonardo DiCaprio has agreed to star in Atari, a film about video game pioneer Nolan Bushnell, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Writers Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman sold a script to Paramount at the end of last week which detailed how Bushnell went from fixing pinball machines to forming the Atari Corporation in the early ’70s. The company was eventually sold to Warner Communications for $28 million.

Bushnell was also involved in the creation of Pong and set up the Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatres restaurant chain.
