Mike Tyson Mysteries - The adult version of Scooby Doo
When Iron Mike goes Scooby Doo. Then you know that it is dead serious!
It´s been a while since i heard (or saw) anything about Mike Tyson. In fact, the last time i even saw him on TV was when i watched "The Hangover Part II" (Mike made my ears bleed at the end of that movie). But then i found out about the upcoming adult cartoon-show "Mike Tyson Mysteries".
And that´s some crazy shit right there. It´s like a mix of Scooby Doo, Mike Tysons crazy life and the bizarre humor from "Drawn Together". So who's the masterminds behind Mike Tyson Mysteries series then? Well, besides Mike Tyson, we got the writer Hugh Davidson (Robot Chicken), and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox).
That's impressive lineup indeed. But will it be enough to impress the critics and a wide audience? That remains to be seen.
Appleseed Alpha is now available on Blu-ray and DVD!
Appleseed Alpha is a 100% CG-animated movie.
It´s been a long time since i watched anything Appleseed related. But i have to say that i´m pretty interested in Appleseed Alpha (which is a prequel to the series). Because it´s directed by Shinji Aramaki (the maker of "Ghost in the Shell"), and i just happen to be a big fan of his (same thing goes for Shirow Masamune).
Sure, Shinji Aramaki has worked with Appleseed in the past (Appleseed Ex Machina and Appleseed the movie for ex). But it seems like Shinji has spent more time on Appleseed Alpha, then he has with any of his previous works with the series.
Oh well, there´s just one way to find out if Appleseed Alpha rocks or sucks. And that´s to watch the movie yourself. Speaking of which, Appleseed Alpha is now available on Blu-ray and DVD.

Fury - Sponsored video
The kind of movie that would appeal anyone that likes WWII movies.
If it haven't been for "World of Tanks" then i probarly wouldn't have found out about the upcoming WWII movie "Fury". A movie staring big stars such as Brad Pitt, Scott Eastwood and Jason Isaacs. And i have to say that i´m quite excited over Fury. Not soly because of the list of movie stars that´s involved in the movie.
But becouse it´s been a long time since i saw a good (new made) WWII movie. In fact, most of the WWII movies that i´ve watched recently, have been movies from 1970s or 80s. So it´s going to be rather interesting to see if Fury will deliver the gods on the 17th of October (24th of October in Sweden).

Destiny Bro! - Mashed
Nope, there´s NO similarities whatsoever between Halo and Destiny.
Bungie sure had a impossible task infront of them with to Destiny. which would be to top their own creation, which of course would be "Halo". And against all odds (and millions and millions of dollars), things went rather well for Destiny (both review and sell wise).
But let´s be honest. There are quite a few similarities between Destiny and Halo. And the best comment i´ve heard on the topic would be this one "Destiny is like Halo but with less story and more loot".
Well, make what you want out of it. But i think Mashed made a really good point on the subject with their new video "Destiny Bro!". So, check it out ;)
