It is finally here the wait is over...


The Iphone 4 is finally here. Well at least the unlocked version of the phone is finally here and when I say here I mean it is finally being sold in Canada. I am a born and breed New Yorker I love this city and nothing will ever get me to move maybe except a beautiful ginger haired woman by the name of Karren Gillan but that is another story. As I was saying the Iphone 4 was released earlier this summer on June 24th. As everyone knows the phone is locked to AT&T and if you like that service provider more power to you. A month after the American release comes a some what international release with the release of it in Canada and multiple other countries. The difference though is that if you are Canadian you can buy the phone from Apple Unlocked. Yes the Iphone 4 is not tied to a carrier in Canada or in the UK and if you are like me today must be an awesome day. The only problem is that you will have to wait 3 weeks to get the phone if you get it from Apple.ca but in my opinion it is all worth it.. Stay tuned for a full unlocked review. And more news from what is left of SDCC 2010..

Until next time geeks..

SDCC HIGLIGHTS:MOVIES: HARRY POTTER DEATHLY HOLLOWS PART 1



At the Deathly Hollows Panel, Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy,) made an appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con(Mind you the first time he ever been at SDCC) today to introduce footage for the upcoming "Deathly Hallows" films as well as the official dates which are November 19, 2010 and July 7, 2011. The footage played like an extended trailer for the pair of movies and opened with shard mirror and then a shot of Harry with voice overs of Voldormort and Dumbledore. It then cuts to the familiar scene in the forest with Voldemort and all of the Death Eaters when Harry arrives... and Voldemort's now the famous line - "Harry Potter. The boy who live, come to die..." which we already saw in the earlier trailers, then you see a bit of the wand duel in the forest. which is new footage. The scene goes into various cuts that include dragons, the trip through Gringotts and what looked like several Harry Potters standing with each other and more of the final battle. then new footage of the Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour who promises his people that "Your Ministry remains strong!" It goes to another scene in a diner with the famous three - Harry, Hermione and Ron talking about their next moves when they draw wands to defend themselves against an attack

Next, a scene at a long table with the Death Eaters sitting around it and Voldemort sitting at the head. Snape explaing the whereabouts of Harry. Voldemort then reminds them that he 'must be the one to kill Harry Potter.' More cuts lead to the the three, looking tired and torn among each other. Ron is yelling at Harry. Ron has been listening to the radio every night to make sure he doesn't hear that any of his family has died in the war. Harry yells at Ron "Don't you think I've been listening too!' Ron yells back at Harry that his family is already dead and the two begin to fight it out

More fast action cuts which included a voice over about the demise of Minster of Magic. Then wand play with Bellatrix LeStrange. the last scene we see Harry and Voldormort on brooms dueling it out. EPIC indeed.

Looks like the Director didn't held back on this one folks. the moment you have all been waiting for. Finally you can buy the Bluray Box set once these films are done. your collection is Complete. EXPECTO PATROOONUMMMMMMMM LOL

There was so many...

During San Diego Comic Con premiered many new games for the next gen consoles. One of the biggest in my opinion was Marvel Vs Capcom 3. This is one of those fighting games that everyone and I mean everyone enjoys. At Comic con they demoed the game and gave you look at some of the new characters. From the great game Okami Amaterasu is one of them along with him is Deadpool but I think everyone know he was going to be in it. And last but certainly not the least Super Skrull. There are many new characters to the game but in order to see the full roster we will have to wait for the game..

Stay tuned for more from Comic Con..

Until Next time Geeks...

SDCC HIGLIGHTS: MOVIES: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE




Another Comic Book Movie is in the mist. The Avengers have now been assembled. behind the helm of this film is Director Joss Whedon and stated "I have had a dream all my life and it was not this good." ..."This is The Avengers; a team is more than the sum of its parts -- this cast is more than I could have ever hoped for ... and I am going to blow it. I need your love; I need your support." and your heroes are:

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark
Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Chris Evans as Captain America
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Incredible Hulk
Joss Whedon, Director


Lets hope it works out for Thor and Captain Americas films because if they don't they won't be able to make this film because of low sales, but If Marvel does it right, we will see for the first time the Comic to movie so epic that it will be as good as X-Men.....well we will see won't we. Good Luck to you all. i will be praying this will do well.

SDCC HIGLIGHTS: MOVIES: GREEN LANTERN

Hello Boys and Girls, what a weekend. Every time i go to comic on the surprises keep coming. well the guys at Everything Geek decided to divided up the work when attending comic con since it is so EPIC. for i will be telling you new movie news. So lets get this show on the road.




On the Green Lantern Panel massive Die Hards with the green ring at hand camped out overnight Hall H to see the first footage of the Green Lantern movie. and it began with just that. here is a brief description since we weren't allowed to tape the footage. Trust us security was tight and had night vision camcorders to check on us. so close your eyes and imagine it if you will.

The foogate opens on black and a glowy green aura appears. A voice narrator emerges : "Attention inhabitants of Sector 2814. The Guardians are testing you. If you have the will, this light will glow." then so it begins the classic montage of.....

Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan who sees the ring and the space ship. Jordan then speaks the oath that every GL fan knows. The famous words, "In brightest day..."

We then see Abin Sur! Jordan is on a city street and is sucked up into the air screaming his ass off with excitement "Woooooah!" we see other scenes of Hal with the ring and what the ring does best... kick asses, lol, There's a green light shining over a city - it's the Green Lantern hub planet of Oa. The teaser ends with a shot of the ring. and the scene ends.

THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!

Then the Panel came in, Reynolds, director Martin Campbell, and co-stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong came to meet and greet the fans. Here are some highlights you missed.

- Reynolds says he sees Hal Jordan as a cross between Chuck Yeager and Han Solo. "He's the classic male hero archetype... he's the kind of guy you want to have a beer with. He's witty, he's smart, he's the life of the party...". Reynolds also mentioned that his character is one of these great characters that can "kiss the girl and throw a punch" and that "it's a lot of fun to play". To play this role Reynolds studied a few "Green Lantern" comics in prep for the movie - mainly 'Secret Origins'. He said Geoff Johns told him to think "Star Wars".he stated also that although "it's been fun to train", it wouldn't be a Martin Campbell movie unless someone got hurt. Blake Lively says her only training was having to work so much with Ryan Reynolds, of course the crowd laughed.

Director Marti Campbell says it's a very "straightforward" story that he's bringing to the screen and doesn't want to disappoint the fans. He must have known from the previous comic to movie flops he doesn't want to burn or loose his house. LOL!!!

Reynolds says when the film starts out, Hal Jordan is very "cocky and arrogant" but after his metamorphosis into Green Lantern, he's forced to change his ways for good... well just just a little. Chasing women.....he can't stop that. Peter Sarsgaard says of his role, "There's a fine line between science and wishful thinking. I've thought about the guys who have stretched our thinking ...guys like Carl Saagan.."

Sinestro, according to actor Mark Strong, is "an incredibly organized and fearless component of the Green Lantern Corps." and Reynolds says Green Lantern has a few cool one-on-one fights in the film, including one early on with Sinestro apparently its just the test of he suited is Hal to wear the ring.

Someone asked Reynolds about Deadpool and he stated yes he is doing it after the Green Lantern movie He didn't say whether he prefers to play Deadpool or Green Lantern. He also said he doesn't differentiate between DC and Marvel. I do hope he makes both movies proud. i know his wife Scarlett Johansson is bad ass as the Black Widow and if Reynolds does it well we get Ultimate super couple .lol There you have it folks. More to Come from Everything Geek. also here is a pic of the Green Lantern Poster they had in SDCC. Awsomeee. me needs to get a green lantern shirt my size lol

I know that it has been a couple of weeks.



Like in the title of my post I know that it has been a couple of weeks since I have posted anything and for that I am sorry. In the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of great geek news. Some for instance is the announcement of the Green Lantern costume the movies will have Ryan Reynolds playing Hal Jordan the Air Force Pilot turned superhero. His costume looks sort of like a symbiote with green lines going through it. Blake Lively is playing his sexy co-star and I am really happy about that.. Also in other news comes the news of the special edition Halo reach slim 360. During e3 Microsoft released the Slim Xbox 360 a smaller and wifi built in version of the current 360. It looks even better in Halo Reach Colors..

There are more updates to come and a full review of Comic Con 2010 so stay tuned..

Until Next Time Geeks...
