Michel Gondry interview: Mood Indigo, Eternal Sunshine, Ubik

Mood Indigois Gondrys latest feature, and once again, its hand-crafted, warm and decidedly dreamlike. In many ways, its his most accomplished and moving film sinceEternal Sunshine.

Sticking up for the unpopular kids in geek TV’s playground

Warning: contains spoilers forThe Walking Deadseason three,Breaking Badseason five, andBattlestar Galactica. The force of geek love is strong.

Wherever a TV character is adored, another will be despised. For every fan of Angel, theres a critic of Riley Finn. For every Rick and Shane fan, theres someone shouting boo at Lori Grimes....

The Big Bad MOBA Bubble

MOBAs are very chic right now, but are they here to stay? How the big MOBA scene could burn out like a flash fire. I wrote a bit ago that Ienjoyed my timewithHeroes of the Storm, the upcoming team-based MOBA from Blizzard. But as I looked across the landscape in the last week, another thought occurred to me. Do we really need yet another MOBA? And thats not even counting games that are inspired by the MOBA genre but not quite traditional MOBAs likeSMITE....

The Leftovers: B.J. and the A.C. Review

New family secrets are revealed in this episode of The Leftovers. Here’s Nick’s review. It seems like no one can talk aboutThe Leftoverswithout talking about its creator, Damon Lindelof. It used to be rare that the conversation about a television show would come back to its creator. But mainly casual television fans couldnt care less…that is, untilLostcame around. Maybe we should all thank the guy. Too bad the story didnt end too well for Lindeolf....

Mood Indigo review

Michel Gondry charts the course of a romance in his most whimsical waking dream yet. Its just too bad that the attempted gravity of the films second half is tied to live-action cartoon characters. Despite its flaws, however, I kind of likedMood Indigo. Its all whimsy until it isnt, and then theres nothing there to take its place. Mood Indigois out in theaters today.

Performance capture, Serkis, movies, videogames and Apes

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apesis a film about apes. The title isnt misleading or a metaphor or anything. Key characters Caesar, Cornelia, Koba are all chimpanzees. Actually, thats not completely true. The truth about those convincing, hyper-real chimpanzees? Im glad weve got that out of the way. They act and put in an expressive performance, their motions and body language captured by cameras. A human actor is easier to handle and direct than less intelligent creatures....
