Elektra!



The latest trailer for Daredevil season 2 is all about Elektra. She talks about the return of the Yakuza, made possible by Daredevil's extremely effective elimination of all the other crime families in New York City. There's also concerned Foggy, Stick talking about the ninja group, the Hand, and an extremely angry Punisher.

Weathering the Master Chief


A few years ago I tried to get myself back into model making with this Sprukit of the Master Chief from Halo. The Level 2 version is pretty simple. It's only 109 pieces and took a few hours to put together. The model is made by Bandai who makes all those awesome Gundam models. Without glue and paint, I thought the finished product looked pretty good.

Batman v Superman Final Trailer


If you haven't had a chance to see the latest trailer for Batman v Superman, here it is!



Since I took my sweet ass time to get to this, if you'd like to check out a really cool trailer breakdown, go read Katharine Trendacosta's post on io9. It's very detailed and hits on all the points I like. But, I'd still like to point out the three things I enjoyed the most about this trailer.

LEGO Helicarrier

For me, one of the nerd out moments in The Avengers is when the SHIELD helicarrier takes flight for the first time. While there is an official LEGO set available for about $350, a fan just built one twice its size at about 4 1/2 feet. It was built by ZiO Chao and his friends in about a month and a half using only reference photos from the film and about 15,000 LEGO pieces. Go check out his flickr album for this incredible build here.

And here's that scene from The Avengers which still gives me goosebumps!

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens


It was only a matter of time before Star Wars: The Force Awakens got its own LEGO game. And here's the teaser which mimics the first Force Awakens trailer with its own LEGO twists.



Seriously, I did not think BB-8 could get any more adorable. I have been proven wrong.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits all major game platforms on June 28th.

Ten Films I'm Anticipating In 2016


We're already a month into 2016 and with a new year comes a new crop of movies to get excited about! So here are the ten movies I'm anticipating most in 2016.

10. Finding Dory

What's it about?The friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish reunites with her loved ones, and everyone learns a few things about the true meaning of family along the way. From IMDb

Why I'm excited: Finding Dory is the sequel to possibly my favorite Pixar film, Finding Nemo. Pixar has had a great track record, but I haven't considered its films the past few years to be anything special. Cars 2 was horrible, I didn't even bother seeing Brave, and Monsters University was simply average. But I have renewed faith in the animation studio because Inside Out was absolutely excellent! Plus the original writer & director, Andrew Stanton is returning so this film has win-win all over it.

When it opens: June 17th
