Top Series - 2013

Twenty*27

Tron:: Uprising is the upcoming animated series set between the two films, expanding on the existing stories provided to us by the two films as well as Tron: Betrayal (graphic novel) and Tron: Evolution (game). There is little to say at this point, the trailer looks pretty swish. Curious to see how the characters are animated, the faces appearing to be 2D within the helmet. Personally I was hoping for something that bit closer to Star Wars Clone Wars animated series. The voice cast is impressive with Elijah Wood and Mandy Moore lending their talents. Most importantly Bruce Boxleitner is back to voice Tron. If only they could get Awesome Snr back on Chuck!

The series will debut later this year as a "10-part micro-series" continuing with a regular series in 2012. As far as the term 'micro-series' goes I cannot say if this is the latest Disney-coined term, or something that I am simply unaware of. As far as I can tell a 10 episode series could classify as a mini-series or a full season (re: V Season 2).

Twenty*0

I am currently in the very early stages of working on what is to become an annual project. Around Christmas time every year I am asked by an number of friends what movies I would recommend from both the current year, as well as what upcoming films to keep an eye on. The same goes for games. I'll host the review/preview list online somewhere (perhaps it's own site) as well as a pdf for mass distribution.


Should be fun.


The list will include up to ten in each category;
- Recommended 2010;
     - Live Action Films
     - Animated Films
     - TV Series
     - Games
     - Tech


- Upcoming 2011

     - Live Action Films

     - Animated Films

     - TV Series

     - Games

     - Tech

This should give me something a to do in some of my off-time. I'm slowly sourcing images etc for the piece.

Chuck Me!!

NBC finally announced their decision about the future of Chuck yesterday and the answer to that question is more Chuck! NBC ordered a 13 episode season, with a lower production budget which undoubtedly means an end to the big guest stars that the show has on previously ala. Chevy Chase (hopefully doesn’t include Scott Bakula!). But this is all good news as far as I am concerned – the show has much more to offer and hopefully the 3rd season will deliver to the usual high standard and more people will become interested in the show *fingers crossed*
