Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition adds Yun and Yang

Sep 18th 2010 8:46AM (Joystiq)
@bamb0ostick

You are either being sarcastic or you don't know that Yun and Yang are pupils of Gen so essentially they are split from one character. Similar to the variation in style and gameplay in some shoto characters, Yun and Yang's strengths are different. Yun is good at closing the distance gap very quickly, spacing and knockdown game while Yang is a close infighter with great quick combos and mix up teleportation game. I recommend viewing some of the Street Fighter 3rd Strike videos on Youtube to grasp their concepts if you are interested.

Dissecting 'Inception': How Christopher Nolan Dropped The Ball

Aug 3rd 2010 5:39PM (Cinematical)
Many people miss the point of Inception entirely. It doesn't matter if its a dream or not. Here is the significance that you seem to have missed. Cobb has put his totem away like Mal did. He has accepted a reality and more importantly forgiven himself. The only trick I see is that with everything Nolan has shown you, you still cling to the belief that it matters if things occurred in the real or in the mind.

Looks like they are fighting Macy's Day Parade balloons. I wonder if you get to fight Snoopy?

McG Wants Will Smith to Play Captain Nemo?

Jan 15th 2009 1:19AM (Cinematical)
I think Alexander Siddig would be an excellent choice as well. His various roles in "24", "Syriana", and the amazing "Kingdom Of Heaven" prove that he his more than suited for the role of Nemo.

The 25 Best Horror Films of All Time (Well, 1990 - present)

Dec 21st 2008 9:08PM (Cinematical)
I do my best to stay away from these internet plague-like list posts because they merely put the words "best" "list" and "ever" to invoke passionate response so they can get more hits on their posts so they make more money as is the defacto way of making internet mailbox money.

But sadly I could not keep silent for this.

Saw?
The Ruins?
The Orphanage?
Blair Witch?
Cube? Thats not even horror!

You include Saw which I think to most people isn't even scary because it felt like a PG-13 TV Edit of Seven which should have been on this list.

Orphanage was the Devil's Backbone lite! I took my friends to see in theaters based on recommendations from this site and we were bored to tears. The Sixth Sense was more scary than this! I defy you to name the scene which made you scared?

The Blair Witch while a bold experiment was marketing genius not horror greatness.

Maybe the title of this piece should be modern horror films I liked not best horror films of all time.

If you think that these are the best for this time period than you should not be making this list.

The only evidence I need is this:
You put the The Ruins on here instead of:

Seven
Feast
Shaun Of The Dead
28 weeks later
If you are going to try and stretch the genre with Cube why not try Devil's Rejects.
how can you not include Midnight Meat Train? For a person who was " was pleased to see a DVD announcement for The Midnight Meat Train".

There are so many more worthwhile horror movies of this day and age that you are remiss in excluding from this list that it borderlines on disgrace.

This list is not only telling to what is happening to the horror genre but people's tastes in general. When you destroy the horror genre with Scream rip-offs and remakes gone wrong, people begin to think bad is good, mediocre is great and that great is dead.

Mr. Weinberg please stick to posting: The top 20 nude scenes of 2008 and bobble head movie memorabilia news that you are much more accustomed to.

Scary bits should be given to someone who knows what scary is.

To Cinematical Editors:

Please have some respect for the art you post about and don't be afraid to say this blog post is not good enough for cinematical.

With the death of newspapers and film critics, maybe now would be a great time to pick up some great writers and critics on the cheap for this website. Imagine people wanting to come to your website to read well written essays on the state of cinema rather than puff pieces that are meant to incite "nerd rage".

what stops me from going to another website is not the layout of your website or the funny headlines or the quality of your photoshop pun-riddled feature titles. Its the quality of your website's information and writing. One just has to click on 400 screens, 400 blows to understand that.

Another thing why not have some debate on here. I am truly tired of these copy and paste reviews. Don't let the only decent be from your commenters. What made Siskel and Ebert such a success was the debate. Having two different opinions about the same piece of artwork is what gives us the full picture and not just the one-sided view that has always been the cloud over the internet community.

So there you go, you got a sucker to give you another click just to rant. Congratulations. I can't wait to read your "list of best movie evar" where you put Sleepless in Seattle over City Lights because Sleepless in Seattle has Tom Hanks and is in color. Actually hopefully by that time, I will be reading a different website.
