Movie Review: Will "Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker" Soar or Go Down In Flames?
Posted 5/23/12 4:35 pm EST by Charles Webb in Movies, Reviews
[Update: in the original version of this story, I stated that voice actress Brina Palencia's character was the Divine Cleric, when in fact she was the Grand Cleric. The former was played by Pam Dougherty and this has been reflected in the review. In spite of the negative review, Ms. Palencia was a class act and kind enough to provide a clarification regarding my error.]
When it comes to talking about fan's attachment to BioWare's extended universes, it's tough to talk about Dragon Age without at least thinking about the RPG developer's other major IP, Mass Effect. It's clear that the latter has a dedicated and often vocal fanbase with a great deal of attachment to Shepard's journey aboard the Normandy these past few years. At the same time, it's hard to imagine (or find) the same kind of obsessive clamor for the studio's dark fantasy RPG series.
Nevertheless, here we are talking about an animated expansion of the Dragon Age universe in Dawn of the Seeker. And while there's some nice technical gloss on this CG feature from director Vexille director Fumihiko Sori, this 90-minute film fails to make a convincing case for why one should care about BioWare's fantasy IP.

Live-Action Iron Fist Tournament Part Zero: "Tekken" Movie to Get Prequel From Ong Bak Director
Posted 5/21/12 11:45 am EST by Charles Webb in Fighting Games, Movies, News
Between showing off C. Thomas Howell's boy and his giant dog movie and dragging Jon Voight into a new trilogy of Baby Geniuses movies at Cannes, production company Crystal Sky announced that they were planning to prequelize 2010's live-action Tekken feature. Crystal Sky is hoping for a domestic theatrical release for the movie when it's completed.
The prequel, whose current title is Tekken: Rise of the Tournament, will be directed by prolific Thai director Prachya Pinkaew (Ong Bak). In lieu of high-profile talent, Pinkaew plans to bring on board actors and actresses who look like their in-game counterparts. No further details are available about the story as of this writing.
The first film directed by Dwight H. Little (Rapid Fire, Marked For Death) starred Jon Foo as Jin Kazama and was set in the year 2039 where the evil Mishima Corporation would throw the Iron Fist tournament to find the world's greatest fighter. Fun fact: baddie Heihachi Mishima was played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa who also played Shang Tsung in Paul W.S. Anderson's Mortal Kombat.
