Mortal Kombat: Legacy – Episodes 1-4

2 Comments

If you didn’t see the awesome short Mortal Kombat: Rebirth then I suggest you go and check that out here first. It was directed by Kevin Tacharoen, and was his attempt to show the movie studios just what he could do with the MK franchise. And it was amazing. It was a realistic look at the world of Mortal Kombat with some stars thrown in for good measure. Michael Jai White played Jackson Briggs (Jax) and Jeri Ryan played Sonya Blade. Well, it definitely got noticed, with over 10 million views in one month, and it left most fans of the franchise wondering where the series was going to go next.

Then Mortal Kombat: Legacy was announced. A 10 part web series from the makers of Rebirth featuring the same cast plus lots more. So naturally fans rejoiced. So far there have been 4 episodes released, so I’ll post them here for your viewing pleasure, and as each one comes out we’ll keep you up to date.

Most are around 10 minutes long, and feature a look at the beginning of most of our favorite characters, with an expanded look at the huge universe of Mortal Kombat.

Psycho Girlfriend: Who Does This Ring True With?

Leave a comment

Yesterday I stumbled across a series of videos. A lot of you may have already seen these as they started in 2009. But for anyone who hasn’t seen them – I thought they were great. What they are is a running web show, each episode averaging around 4 minutes or so, about a guy and his crazy-ass girlfriend.

Each season is 7 episodes, and they are currently in the middle of season 3.  They are made for Reckless Tortuga and distributed over YouTube. Reckless Tortuga has several other video series as well, but this was my favorite.

Lindsey Reckis plays Brandi, and she makes this things work, it’s the eyes. ANYHOW – Here is the first episode…

And for the rest of the episodes, you can find them by clicking the picture below…

Jackie Chan is Dead! – But not really.

1 Comment

It’s already been a crazy week with celebrities getting accused of doing things they haven’t or accused of not doing things they say they did. The most recent one was Jackie Chan who was accused of doing something he clearly did not do, which is die.

OTRC reported that one way or another, through gossip on social networking sites, the martial arts action star suffered a heart attack and died. This was until through his own Facebook, a status was left denying that Chan had any problems at all, and he was in fact busy filming his current movie.

I must be out of the loop because I hadn’t heard anything about Jackie Chan dying until the day it was reported that he wasn’t dead. I’m now more concerned about which movie he is currently working on. The last live action movies he appeared in were The Spy Next Door and The Karate Kid Played By Will Smith’s Son. (that was the full title right?) Maybe Rush Hour 4 or The Tuxedo 2? (Please God no!) [Ed. – I hear that movie was very very popular]

 

The next movie Chan will appear in through is Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom as the voice of ‘Furious Five’ warrior Monkey. The film releases this Summer. Jean Claude  Van Damme will also be in the movie as a Crocodile, but he should’ve been a Kung Fu Beaver. Van DAM, get it?

This isn’t the first, nor will it be the last celebrity death hoax, but with such a vast web of social networks out there, gossip is able to spread across the globe in a flash. Below is a small list of celebrity death hoaxes.

Jeff Goldblum – Fell to his death while filming in New Zealand
Johnny Depp – Killed in a car accident in France.

Taylor Lautner – Died of a cocaine overdose.
Will Ferrell – Hang Gliding accident. (I picture his cameo in The Goods as how that would have carried out.)
Adam Sandler – Snowboarding accident.
Charlie Sheen – Died from an overdose of ‘Winning’, but was then resurrected by Vatican Assassin Warlocks. (I actually just made that up. But hopefully with everyones help it becomes the sweetest death hoax of all time.)
