Street Fighter X Tekken
Plot / Synopsis

The center of the conflict between the Street Fighter and Tekken universes is a cubical object that crash-landed to Earth. The object is of a mysterious origin and researchers worldwide are unable to determine what purpose it serves. The only thing that can be understood is that when beings come into conflict around this object, it releases a water-like energy that brings more power to the combatants. Due to the object's tendency to react to conflict between beings, they name it "Pandora". What this object has done that forces the characters of each universe to come to blows will be further explored.

Street Fighter X Tekken Sony Exclusive Characters Game Trailer Review

The biggest hype that this Sony system exclusive character news were Pac-Man and Mega Man. Pac-Man because of how cool can Street Fighter X Tekken can get with the exclusion of that beloved video game classic icon, Pac-Man. Then we have Mega man which currently received some very mixed reviews from the gaming community. Haters will always hate and I can see why, this is not the android Japanese mech kid that fans grew fund off, but the bad box art version of the very first Mega Man game. Not to mention Megaman doesn't belong to both universes. But if you just look at these exclusive character trailer, all five of them are pretty farfetch from both Tekken and Street Fighter universes. So why hate one particular character?









This is not the first time that games have included characters outside of its universe(s). One of the more recent fighting game titles that did this was last 2011's Mortal Kombat (MK9) by including Freddy Krueger as a playable character. Nor this is the first time that a fighting game had a brand exclusives, so this announcement came to no surprise at all. If these are Sony's exclusive characters, I am now curious of what Microsoft has in store for its gamers. I'm sure it will not be long now before a trailer for it gets announced. By then we'll have to wait.

The Hunter Trailer Impressions: An Eco-Thriller Film with The Tasmanian Tiger

The Hunter is a 2011 Australian film based on a book entitled "The Hunter" by Julia Leigh and will have a 2012 US (international) release. The film stars Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, and Frances O'Connor about a contract hunter searching for an extinct but rumored to still exist Tasmanian Tiger. Let's see what The Hunter has to offer based on its official trailer.



The Hunter
Plot / Synopsis

THE HUNTER is the story of Martin, a skilled and ruthless mercenary sent into the Tasmanian wilderness on a hunt for a tiger believed to be extinct. Hired by an anonymous company that wants the tiger's genetic material, Martin arrives in Tasmania posing as a scientist. He proceeds to set up base camp at a broken-down farmhouse, where he stays with a family whose father has gone missing. Usually a loner, Martin becomes increasingly close to the family; however, as his attachment to the family grows, Martin is led down a path of unforeseen dangers, complicating his deadly mission.

The Hunter Film Trailer Review

There is something very interesting about the unknown, about mythical things, species that ceased to exist. This is probably why it is interesting to check out a serious film that somehow plays on such myths and rumors. The big question is how would they make a film that piques the curiosity of people about something that once was while having an engaging and engrossing effect. Well The Hunter seems to pull that off (for me that is).



After watching the trailer for The Hunter, it made me search for the extinct Tasmanian Tiger and to me the creature was very ordinary, although the thought that one or two of its kind might still exist would be very interesting. A film that features the beauty of Tasmania and the myth/rumor of the existence of the Tasmanian Tiger is what this film uses, but we all know that it is more of the mystery andthe characters hunting it. The film was aptly named "The Hunter" right? The trailer looks good and I don't mind catching it once its out this 2012.

Brake Trailer Impressions: An Unfortunate Fate of a Secret Agent

Brake is a 2012 action film starring Stephen Dorff as a secret service agent kidnapped and tortured to get a very sensitive and critical information. Let's find out what this action film title slated for a March 2012 release has to offer.



Brake
Plot / Synopsis

What appears to be a random kidnapping becomes something more sinister when Secret Service Agent Jeremy Reins discovers he's being used as a pawn in a terrorist plot. Watching the clock tick down to an unknown catastrophe, Jeremy is forced by his captors to listen to the outside world on the brink of collapse, knowing that the only way to save the people he loves is to divulge a secret that he has sworn to protect.

Nothing seems to be original anymore. Almost everything has already been conceived and executed. This holds especially true with films. But what must a movie do to somehow get away from the looming shadow of a previous film that it draws inspiration from? The answer is to make it their own by adding new plot twist and more action.



Brake reminded me of 2010's Buried. Both the main protagonists wakes up in a claustrophobic location with little means to connect to outside, then the plot later unveils itself. Although the two filmsmight have the same ideas, they are definitely two different films. Brake is more of an action espionage film which can be seen in the trailer. Besides trying to get out from his captivity which the trailer spoiled, the big question is will the protagonist chose his loved ones or his duty as an agent for the government? With those questions plus a seemingly new take from a familiar scenario, I think that Brake is probably worth of checking out.

The Lady 2012 Trailer Impressions: A Biographical Film of Aung San Suu Kyi

The Lady is a biographical film about Aung San Suu Kyi which first premiered on Toronto Film Festival last September 2011 and will be available for the rest of the United states on February 17, 2012. The Lady stars Michelle Yeoh as the Burma's well known political figure and peace advocate Aung San Suu Kyi, and described the film as "an incredible love story against the background of political turmoil". Let's check out the trailer for this biographically accurate film here.



The Lady
Plot / Synopsis

THE LADY is an epic love story about how an extraordinary couple and family sacrifice their happiness at great human cost for a higher cause. This is the story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. A story of devotion and human understanding set against a background of political turmoil which continues today. THE LADY also is the story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma's democracy movement.

The Lady Film Trailer Review

There is something so special and admirable with people who can sacrifice their own lives just for the sake of others, their family, and their country. This is probably why most biographical films of some of the world's greatest people are so fulfilling and inspiring to watch. This time we are now able to know Burma's iconic political figure, Aung San Suu Kyi.



I am not a big fan of drama, and usually prefers the more jolly comedic, action, adventure or fantasy film titles. So when I saw the trailer for The Lady and was in awe as how good it looks, that means that it did something special there. Even in the trailer, the film featured great cinematography and superb acting by the actors. I personally got curious about this Burmese political head, and will probably check this out sometime.

Jeff Who Lives at Home: A Lazily Titled Comedy Film with a Heart

Jeff Who Lives at Home is a 2012 indie comedy film which premiered on September 14, 2011 at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, and is slated for a March 16, 2012 US release. What does this simply named comedy film title has to offer? Let's find that out here,



Jeff Who Lives at Home
Plot / Synopsis

Dispatched from his basement room on an errand for his mother, slacker Jeff might discover his destiny (finally) when he spends the day with his brother as he tracks his possibly adulterous wife.

Jeff Who Lives at Home Film Trailer Review

Let's see what we have here, we have this geeky and immature character who believes in destiny so much and just let things happen; then we have his brother who likes indulging himself with all the riches in the world, without thinking about the future, and finally we have a mother stuck in between of her immature sons. even if this is categorized as a full drama film, I think there is more to it than meets the eye.



The film trailer for Jeff Who Lives at Home gives more of a family movie with a heart fee to it than a straightforward comedy. It is probably because of the music playing on the background, or because how sad the characters are portrayed in the trailer. Although there are some moments in the trailer that would obviously make you smile, I think that this film has something special going for it. I think the film can choose a better title, because DUH? where else would anyone live than is or her own home.

Playback Trailer Impressions: Watch Out, It is Another Cursed Video

Playback is a 2012 horror film with some found footage elements. Playback stars Toby Hemingway, Alessandra Torresani, Ambyr Childers, Johnny Pacar, Christian Slater, Jonathan Keltz and Jennifer Missoni. What has this this haunted or cursed video horror film has to offer?



Playback
Plot / Synopsis

While digging into their town's infamous past, a group of high school students unwittingly unlock an even darker secret. Now, an evil spirit has been awakened and will stop at nothing to find his true heir.

Playback Film Trailer Review

Home videos are fun to watch and share with your friends and family, but there are some videos that aren't meant to be shared... all you'll die in seven days... oh wait, wrong film. Well this is another Hollywood horror movie that tries to use the "cursed" video concept.



The question is... Is Playback's trailer any good? It feels awfully familiar. It is probably because that it falls under that "serial killer's twisted soul back to kill again" type of horror with some found-footage(genre) elements. I give this trailer a "Meh!" or a mediocre rating as I didn't feel a thing (either curiousity nor excitement) about the film in general.

Resident Evil 6 Debut Game Trailer Review

Well isn't this a surprise. Looks like Capcom is going all out this 2012 with their Resident evil game franchise. We don't only get to have one major Resident Evil game title for the consoles, but two! Well there is the spin-off much more Western style-type shooter of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and now we have a Resident Evil 6, what more can an RE fan ask for, right?



Well this is just some nicely edited clips from the upcoming Resident Evil 6 trailer which features Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield. It seems like it would try to combine two different game style or I maybe wrong. Parts of the RE6 trailer featuring Leon Kennedy has some vague hints that it will go back to what the franchise was known for jump scares and the old school survival horror creepy gamestyle; while the part featuring Chris Redfield is a more Western type cover shooter type of gameplay. Hopefully all this will work out in favor of the game. The big question is, will this be the end, or are we going to have the next Resident Evil featuring Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield?

Resident Evil Retribution Film Trailer Review

IT IS A PROPAGANDA, I SAY!!! I didn't know that this is an actual trailer for the film because at first I thought that this was an ad for the Vita. The latest Sony handheld, the PS Vita made a cameo in this trailer which is a big "DUH?", Hahahaha bring on the flame Sony Fan Boys. But seriously speaking, this is just the film giving a nod or tribute to where the entire Resident Evil video game franchise which this film franchise was based on all started, on the original Sony Playstation.



So we have Milla Jovovich again introducing that she's Alice again, because we might have already forgotten about her on the last four films that she just starred. Well personally speaking, I already lost track of this franchise after after Extinction, I think there is something to that last film that disappointed me or made me not excited to watch the next film. I guess I need to watch that last RE film in order to understand this sequel and possible future sequels, that is if they still plan to milk this 3-D film franchise. Oh well, good luck on that.



What is there to say, there are zombies and I do hope that they finally gave us a much needed ending and a better writing and engaging storyline besides its flashy 3-D slow-mos and 3-D effects. What about you guys? Do you think I missed a lot when I didn't watch the last entry? Do you consider this entire film franchise as a goodenough adaptation of the popular gaming franchise?

Street Fighter X Tekken - Cinematic and Gameplay Trailer Impressions: 2012's Biggest Fighting Game Crossover Title from Capcom and Namco

Street Fighter X Tekken is a 2012 fighting game crossover featuring two of fighting an epic clash between Capcom's Street Fighter and Namco Bandai's Tekken. Steet Fighter is the first crossover game between this epic crossover between the two fighting game franchise. Street Fighter x Tekken is developed by Capcom, thus the reason why it's name comes first before Tekken and its gameplay mechanics similar to Super Street Fighter IV. Let's all check out three trailers of Street Fighter x Tekken: Character Reveal, Cinematic Trailer, and Gameplay (New Feature and Game Mechanics) Trailer here.



Street Fighter X Tekken
Plot / Synopsis

Unlike Capcom's other crossover fighting games (such as Marvel vs. Capcom), Street Fighter X Tekken will offer some semblance of a plot that will explain why these two otherwise disparate universes have come together.

As revealed by a trailer released by Capcom to coincide with the 2011 Tokyo Game Show, the center of the conflict between the Street Fighter and Tekken universes is a cubical object that crash-landed to Earth. The object is of a mysterious origin and researchers worldwide are unable to determine what purpose it serves. The only thing that can be understood is that when beings come into conflict around this object, it releases a water-like energy that brings more power to the combatants. Due to the object's tendency to react to conflict between beings, they name it "Pandora".

What this object has done that forces the characters of each universe to come to blows will be further explored in the game itself.

Watch Street Fighter X Tekken Fifth Cinematic Trailer game trailer here:



Capcom has finally listened to some of its clamoring supporters suggestion and request to have a decent plot to tie in to their fighting game series. A decent plot or storyline was lacking in Capcom's last fighting game which is Marvel vs Capcom 3. Don't get me wrong, MVC3 was an awesome crossover fighting game, but as someone who prefers some form of logic and story as to why everything is happening even if it is just a plain old fighting video game, MVC3 disappoints. Hopefully there are some cut scenes or decent story (intros, mid-battle cut scenes, unlockable endings, or a separate single player story-driven campaign) that will make Street Fighter x Tekken a more charming game outside its hardcore fighting game audience(market), or this is just me with high hopes for a fighting game.

Street Fighter X Tekken Character Reveals game trailer:



A vibrant display of character available for Street Fighter x Tekken. What is there to say, but this trailer is just awesome.

Street Fighter X Tekken Gameplay Features Trailer:



An all-out scramble fighting game mechanic could either be awesome or just a complete mess of the game experience. I hope that game mechanic is well-polished for it to become the crossover game's strength.

Join the Good Fight: If You Love a Free Internet Society, then Stand Against SOPA and PIPA's Internet Censorship

Where were you when the internet started sucking? Sucking not in the same sense as a technological attack from some malicious hacker(s) or an internet troll, but sucking in a sense that you are no longer able to enjoy the freedom that the internet once was. The Stop Software Piracy Act and its cousin, Protect Intellectual Property Act are these two notorious US Bills proposed to finally put a lid on online piracy, but in expense of completely censoring out the once free internet.

CMAQUEST does not advocate or support piracy, let us just get this out of the way. There are possible better bills that the US congress may come up with the future but not in the expense of online censorship. What makes the internet a great place to hang out is the hundreds and thousands of websites and content provider that "borrows" and "utilize" video files (clips and stock footage), music (theme songs, sound effects, sound files, etc), and images which may or may not be copyrighted materials. If ever SOPA, PIPA or any other future bill that has the same content gets passed as a law, then we will all suffer a dull internet, an internet before it was actually "cool". Be informed, if you are a visitor or a U.S. Resident who loves a free internet, then educate yourself. Watch PROTECT IP / SOPA Act Breaks the Internet here:



Also Check out this infographic about SOPA and PIPA:



While internet giants like Google and Wikipedia has the power to protest against SOPA and PIPA via a site-wide black-out, I believe CMAQUEST will have a better chance of reaching its US audience and spread awareness to the rest of the visitors of the site to help the fight against this and possible future reiterations of this Bill. Until a rightful online anti-piracy bill is finally created, every bill that the US congress will come out with will be under the world and internet's scrutinizing eyes.

Amidst this possible threat to online freedom, humor websites wtill manage to make some pretty informative ways to educate its sudience and gets the message across. This is TheOatMeal's creative and funny splash image found on its page when it did its site-wide black-out protest.



Will you let this creative freedom be suppressed and oppressed? If you are a US Residence, then help reliable content providers and blogs like CMAQUEST in itsstand against online censorship. Visit websites like http://sopastrike.com/ and http://americancensorship.org/ for more details.

Casa de Mi Padre Trailer Impressions: Prepare for Senior Will Ferrell on This Mexican Invasion?

As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando's younger brother Raul (Diego Luna), shows up with his new fiance, Sonia (Génesis Rodríguez). It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred.

Casa de Mi Padre Film Trailer Review

Casa de Mi Padre is described to be in the style of an "overly dramatic telenovela" and it definitely shows. A Mexican telenovela that doesn't take itself too seriously, or so seriously that it just looks funny. Not to mention, Will Ferrell's Spanish acting prowess will be put to the ultimate test.



It has drama, passion, Mexican music, convoluted love triangles, and intrigues; all that you wish for a Mexican telenovela is here on this comedy film just over the top starring one of Hollywood's funniest actor, Will Ferrell. A film infested with all of what you like and what you don't in a every Spanish telenovela that ever came out is what this trailer has to offer, and in a way it looks fun to watch. The film is obviously just an over the top Hollywood comedy in a Spanish coating, which may or may not appeal to most audiences. But if you like Mexican references, Will Ferrell's brand of humor, and reading subtitles even if you know that they can completely speak English, then this film is a no-brainer.

A Little Bit Zombie Film Trailer Review

A Little Bit Zombie is just screaming "low-budget" but this probably adds up to the charm of this film. Although a romantic zombie comedy film is not that revolutionary, A Little Bit Zombie does looks intriguing and entertaining.



The film looks really campy which is somehow intentional. This is a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, and this could either be the strength or weakness of the film. This time, we are not cheering for the zombie killers but the zombie and her bride to be as they both try to outrun the hunters and find a way to make a marriage with a zombie works. Will this comedy have a happy ending or a tragedy? Well I am fired up about this mix of genre film. What about you?
