2008 In Review: These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
Bourne…Paz…FIGHT!
I can’t recommend The Bourne Ultimatum enough. It is an intelligent, exciting, political action/spy/espionage/thriller that takes the formerly ho-hum multi-genre into a fresh and electric direction. But this isn’t a movie review, unfortunately.
As I was watching the movie, the organization and structure of the story resonated with me in a very unexpected way. Let me [...]
Uh Boy, Here We Go Again…
Another day, another rant about Hollywood and videogames. This time inspired by Clint Hocking’s latest blog post, “Convergence ‘No longer a theory’“.
The ire of his post comes from a recent announcement Michael Bay is creating a game for Digital Domain, a former Hollywood SFX powerhouse founded by James Cameron. Cameron since left, Bay is now [...]
Hollywood to the Rescue?
A regular SpotAnime Soapbox hot topic, videogames and Hollywood are once again in the news together; this time by way of an interview with blockbuster Producer Jerry Bruckheimer. There’s been the general consensus Hollywood and games don’t mix – either movie-licensed tie-ins make terrible videogames; or vice versa, where game properties haven’t been able to [...]

Pitching Games as Movies; or, How to Make a Game worth Telling
Gamasutra posted an article from the Hollywood and Games Summit on The Art of Pitching. It is an interesting read because it shows just how far the divide between games and film remains, partly because the gaming industry still hasn’t matured enough to create great stories that could stand on their own. Our industry’s greatest [...]
Eva Bigger Than God
Reading an article on IGN’s FilmForce, I was hit with a sudden urge for a quick post.
The article gave a couple of juicy bits regarding the planned Neon Genesis Evangelion live-action feature. First, they said they are “close to a deal” with “three A-list directors”. Interesting, but Michael Bay is already taken…
The next bit really [...]
Another Hole in the Head
Oh, joy. Steven Speilberg is making video games.
Video games are already approaching feature-film budgets, and even smaller developers are producing theatrical-quality CG cut scenes in their games. Most games even support Dolby Digitial soundtracks. So why do we need Steven Speilberg? Do we need more emotion in these cut scenes? Louder explosions?
What contribution to the [...]
