Take a Sneak Peek at Halo 4!

Take a Sneak Peek at Halo 4!

It was quite a shock to hear that Halo: Reach would be the last Halo game Bungie would make. When the video game development company released Halo: Combat Evolved for the original Xbox, they launched a franchise that would redefine first-person shooters and sci-fi games for the next generation. Subsequent sequels like Halo 2 and...
Wait! Another Transformers movie? Yeah I said it!

Wait! Another Transformers movie? Yeah I said it!

Yes you read correctly! The metal crushing, transforming, perfectly made for CGI robots in disguise will be on the big screen once more! Micheal Bay confirmed this himself on his own website in fact. The original human cast will not be in this one, and that makes me wonder if we will see new Transformers...

This is a repost from the awesome Robot 6, just thought that this was shocking news and wanted to share it with everyone.

Preview: Prometheus

Sir Ridley Scott, the visual genius behind a number of award winning films, (including Bladerunner and Alien) caused a massive fuss when he implied that he his upcoming sci-fi epic, Prometheus would not be an Alien prequel.

C.U.F.F. 2011 Presents: "See It To Believe It" by Billy Rodriguez

C.U.F.F. 2011 Presents: "See It To Believe It" by Billy Rodriguez

The way Billy Rodriguez tells it, this is an incomplete work. That’s because he made the entire film the night before he submitted it to C.U.F.F.! But you won’t see anything missing. Billy Rodriguez displays a mastery of tone as he builds suspense, develops a character, creates a frightening atmosphere with eerie lighting and provides cool...

C.U.F.F. 2011 Presents: "We’re All Going to Die Today" by Marc Bonfiglio Jr.

On the morning of November 11, 1996, Marc Bonfiglio’s father awoke with a very bad feeling. Perhaps his strong intuition, partially explains why he was able to survive the terrifying events that would occur that night, inside the small jewelry store he owned. Movies often allow us to experience situations we would never want to...

C.U.F.F. 2011 Presents: "Pain" by Ashley McCann

C.U.F.F. 2011 Presents: "Pain" by Ashley McCann

The most remarkable thing about Ashley McCann’s documentary entry into C.U.F.F. isn’t the professional editing or the jarringly intimate camerawork. It’s not the raw, poignant honesty she receives from her subjects in their interviews. It’s not the fact that she uses all of these elements to build an emotional and affecting arch to her entire...

Preview: Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

The fourth installment of the exciting franchise is back with more action, explosions, hot women, and an amped up Tom Cruise. MI:2 was a bit of a let down but MI:3 and now MI:4 has certainly made up for anyone’s trepidation. Two-time Academy Award®-winner Brad Bird directs and Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams produce. So...
