Up And Coming: Aya Knight (Author)

While taking a trip to Orlando, FL. this weekend the girlfriend and I stopped into Sci-Fi City, where we were given the opportunity to meet Aya Knight the author of "The Chronicles of Kale: A Dragon's Awakening" who happened to be in store signing autographs.

Unlike many I've had the privilege to meet while at a signing Aya Knight was very pleasant, up beat, and actually wanted to be there.

And bonus, the autograph was free! How many of us can say we got an autograph for free?

As for the book "The Chronicles of Kale: A Dragon's Awakening" it's a fantasy novel that would be placed in the Young Adult sections at your local bookstore.

But so is the Twilight and Harry Potter novels, so you might as well pick up this novel and support a up and coming author.

And if you would like the chance to meet her and happen to be in the Central Florida area, she will be attending the Megacon next February.

Sucker Punch (Movie Review)

First off, have you people seen the trailer for Sucker Punch?

NO?!? Well then first things first, watch this trailer....



Still not out the door to see it? Well maybe our review well help you decide.

First off Zack Snyder (the director) opens a little unconventionally then most would have; no dialog, just music and the opening action of events that lead up to Baby Doll's (Emily Browning) being taken to the mental hospital.

The film provides a great amount of action/fight scenes, has hot women, big guns/swords, massive explosions and just about a little of something for everyone (Samurais, dragons, robots, a zombie army).

Now we will warn you of this, if you don't pay attention at the beginning, you could miss something and possibly be lost the entire film.

There are a few surprises in this film, and no we won't ruin them for you. Zack Snyder did a fantastic job on this one, and some of those conclusions you may have drawn from the trailer, may be changed after you've seen this film.

Our recommendation for Sucker Punch is simple...GO AND SEE IT TODAY!!!

And if you have already seen it, what did you think? Leave us a comment, we love hearing from you.

Another D&D Movie?!?

A day after our post about the original Dungeons and Dragons movie we learned that we some how missed the announcement that there is another D&D movie in the works;

D&D: Book of Vile Darkness.

All we know so far is that Silver Pictures is producing (First D&D movie, Sherlock Holmes, V for Vendetta), and that the majority of filming will be done in Europe with a few scenes taking place in Louisiana.

No release date has been set, further details to come when we have some. - GJ.

D&D - The Movie

Ten years ago in 2000 Dungeons and Dragons made its debut on the big screen. Today for the first time in ten years the GJ staff watched D&D on a local TV channel, and can't believe that we completely forgot about this movie.

D&D will not be remembered as the greatest movie, but it wasn't really half bad; keeping in mind that this is a movie based off of a game played through the use of books and one's imagination.

As we reflected on D&D we realized that another little movie will face some of the same issues amongst the critics. This movie is World of Warcraft (WoW),which is a massive multiplayer online game.

If you haven't seen D&D we recommend it; it's a good way to prepare yourself for WoW, and we have a feeling you won't want to miss WoW. - GJ
