How Pacific Rim Should Have Ended

We absolutely loved Pacific Rim. It was everything a great summer action movie should be. And plus, when it’s Guillermo del Toro making giant robots fight giant monsters, what can go wrong? Well, according to the well wrinkled critical brain of HISHE, Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi’s characters in the movie would totally re-think the Jaeger defensive strategy. But hey, we noticed the story’s various jumps in logic too. We still loved it just the same. [HISHE]

Netflix’s Instant Queue isn’t necessarily a bad feature of the streaming service, but the company believes they have found a replacement for it that makes saving must-watch TV shows and movies a lot easier.

Everything Wrong with Batman Begins

2005 was quite a long time ago! That was back when everyone had an iPod, that was when we knew Android as just being a robot and that was the year that Batman Begins came out. And though Batman Begins certainly was a fantastic movie that kicked off an even more fantastic trilogy, there were still little annoyances in the film. Our friends at Cinema Sins found 50.

Visiting them makes you feel like you’re entered another world, and all of the ‘magic’ responsible for that feeling comes from the hardworking designers, engineers, and artists that Disney refers to as Imagineers.

Barnes & Noble NOOK Video app arrives on iOS, Android, and Roku

Every big internet company has a movie and TV show store it seems, and Barnes & Noble certainly doesn’t have a problem joining in on the already-saturated market.

Barnes & Noble posts Nook Video apps for Android, iOS and Roku

Barnes & Noble launches Nook Video app for regular Android devices, iOS and Roku

Now that Barnes & Noble is backing away from producing its own Nook tablets, it has less incentive to keep Nook Video as an exclusive. Accordingly, it’s opening things up by launching Nook Video apps for ordinary Android devices, iOS and Roku boxes. Like on Barnes & Noble’s own hardware, the new apps let US viewers buy or rent movies for streaming; users can also watch any content stored in their UltraViolet collections. The releases may not get customers leaving one of the many existing alternative services, but those who already have an investment in Nook Video can grab an appropriate app at one of the source links.
