They say Chronicle is a rip off of Akira. I’ve never seen Akira, and chose not to, so I can come into this movie with a clean perspective and walk out with an idea of how Akira might be. After seeing this film, Akira must be f***ing awesome! Though, I doubt it had the deadliest filmmaker in the world. Read my review of Chronicle after the jump.

George Lucas nowadays has a talent; he takes something from your past, pets it, gives it a nice look, then makes it act stupid. It doesn’t really matter if he’s the executive producer or the key grip. This time he goes way back to World War II with the movie Red Tails, and it is inspired by The Tuskegee Airmen and their true stories. They were an all African-American US fighter group that was basically the embodiment of success when it came to aviation victories. I was actually excited when I heard about this movie 2 days ago because World War II air battles were an inspiration for the spectacular Star Wars air battles, and it really shows here. Does this movie honor the greatest World War II pilots we ever had? Find out after the jump.

Editor’s Note: Given this movie’s significance, we have posted two reviews. See Michael’s review here.
David Yates, the director of the past few Harry Potter movies, is a wise man. He saved the big fight for the end. Lately he has stuck to more dramatic endings and less action-packed climaxes, favoring character-driven conclusions. This key strategy works excellent as a build up to this movie, and it has finally arrived. However, this time the movie lacks in a crucial but forgivable factor. See my spoilerish review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 after the jump.

Machinima.com has been expanding beyond simple machinima (a film style that uses virtual interactive environment assets for animated films) lately, and more on to fully animated shorts. The guys at How It Should Have Ended are already working with them to re-create video game endings, and now they’re going to be working on a complete Halo series. Check out the pictures and a video, but be forewarned, they might not be as grand as the Halo shorts you’ve seen.

It’s not about District 10, either. In fact, the video is in no way related to District 9, or any of the filmmakers behind the movie. It is, however, tied to Sony Pictures, the studio behind the District 9 campaign. This silent and mysterious video is from no other than Battle: Los Angeles.
