R.I.P. Bob Hoskins: Say it isn't so ppppplease

R.I.P. Bob Hoskins (1942 - 2014) I, unfortunately, never got to meet Bob Hoskins as I'm just a lowly movie watcher while he on the other hand was a great actor.  He starred in a very large list of films, some of which are, to many, classics to which we will never see a part 2 of now...maybe, because we all know what Hollywood does nowadays.  Some of my personal favorites are: Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog) - Bart Hook...

Support the LEGO JAWS – Orca’s Last Stand set

Please check out the Lego Ideas site and support this set.  It doesn't cost anything, you just have to click on a button.  I would love to see this set be put into production and I'm sure a lot of other people would like to as well.  Some of the profits go to help out Shark Saver. From the ideas.lego.com site: In celebration of one of my all time favorite films I bring you this action packed Lego set based on the Steven Spielberg...

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer is here and it's…pretty much the same as the first one.  There's just a little bit more footage of the Turtles towards the end, but it's really just a few seconds.  This includes some of the clearest shots of Donatello so far. But yeah,  this movie doesn't really look any better than it did before.  The whole look of this movie just feels wrong.  Anyway, see for yourself...

Once again Nintendo will not be attending this year's E3

Sigh.....it's really hard being a Nintendo fan these days. To be fair, I'm all for companies doing something different and separating themselves from the competition. But when those tactics completely fail, maybe that particular company should think of a whole new blueprint to their strategy. It pain's me to say this (seeing how I grew up playing Nintendo consoles) but the Big N is completely out of touch with the market. Once again they're...

E.T. Atari game found...in my wife's Basement!

Sunday a afternoon, my wife and I took a trip to her parents' home to search through her old stuff to see if there was anything that she wanted to bring home. While there, she let me go through the basement in search of old toys.  I found some boxes of old Lego parts, Beetlejuice action figures,  Batman trading cards, and Atari games.  I remember thinking to myself that is was funny that that I had just read about how a documentary...

Jump the Gun: Godzilla 2014

Jump the Gun is a semi-weekly article where two or more HiddenLevel contributors voice their gut reactions to upcoming movies. Their opinions are based solely on what trailers, press releases, and information is available around the internet, oh, and of course their own personal bias towards the source material. None of the opinions are based on actually having watched the movie. Each reviewer retains the right to change their...

Mass Effect Trilogy maybe coming to the PS4 and Xbox One (Rumor Mill)

Please, please, please be true. I would absolutely love to see an enhanced definitive edition of the Mass Effect games on next generation platforms. Without a shadow of a doubt I would gladly purchase all three titles again to experience one of the best sci-fi games of the last generation. This juicy rumor started with a Neogaf user named Rushersauce who spotted the listing of the title over at Zmart. However, this piece of information...

The Poor Dad Movie Review: 47 Ronin

SPOILER BELOW because I'm a poor dad who sees movies months or years later. I'm not sure why this movie did so bad, it's definitely not as bad as "Death Bed,The Bed That Eats" (NSFW), and if you've seen that one then you know a bad movie when you've seen one so I'm not sure why all the bad press about 47 Ronin. I enjoyed the story and was really excited when they were able to get their magical swords. Oh wait, it was apparently was only...
