/Film published a review of Uwe Boll’s new film, ‘Rampage’ and amazingly enough they actually gave it a good review. Has Uwe Boll finally done it? Has he actually made a quality film, only time will tell. I, for one, will be going to see this film when it is released to see if the seemingly impossible has become possible. Here’s the trailer, make up your own minds.
‘Rampage’, directed by Uwe Boll will be released later in the year.

David McVay is joined by Josh Philpott, Dave Kozicki and our very special guests Charlie and Brad from The Movie Fan House Podcast.
Recorded live on Ustream. In this entertaining and often hilarious after show we discuss Hollywood’s obsession with video game adaptations. This discussion was sparked off by a simple question, “If, on the most part, video game adaptations are roasted by critics and, on the most part, don’t make money, why does Hollywood insist on making more and more video game movies?”
We also share our opinions on our top five favourite video game movies and our bottom five worst video game movies. Thanks go out to Charlie and Brad for joining us via Skype, they are always welcome here at Geek Actually.
Charlie and Brad can be heard weekly on The Movie Fan House Podcast at moviefanhouse.com or on iTunes.

I want to thank Charlie and Brad from The Movie Fan House Podcast for joining us on the latest after show. This was the most fun I’ve had in a long time, with the Fan House guys and Josh and our special guest, journalist, Dave Kozicki.
We expected to do a quick half hour after show about video game to movie adaptations and it turned into a two hour laugh-fest. I think all of us geeks just needed to vent about our dismay, and at times, anger over the treatment of video games in cinema. It was a wonderfully cathartic release for all of us.
You can listen to this after show on Wednesday here or on iTunes (subscribe and you won’t miss it).

Game News This Week: The Xbox 360 802.11N wireless adaptor a reality, Nintendo drops the price on the Wii and Dave Kozicki and Josh review two new games; ‘Wet’ and ‘Halo 3 ODST’. ‘Wet’ is not met with a favourable review, ‘Halo3 ODST’ is fun, especially in multiplayer.
In “Great Internet Tech War of 2009” News: Google crawls in under Microsoft’s skin by creating a Chrome patch for Internet Explorer, basically replacing Microsoft’s rendering engine with Chrome’s. Microsoft is understandably annoyed.
Tech News This Week: Microsoft opens a Windows cafe in Paris, Microsoft is turning the T-Mobile Sidekick into Pink, the group buying The Pirate Bay may be broke and Lily Allen fights piracy with plagiarism!
Entertainment News This Week: Ghost Rider 2 is on the way, Fox plans to reboot ‘Fantastic Four’ ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Silver Surfer’, Columbia picks up ‘Masters of the Universe’ and decides to start from scratch, ‘The Social Network’ gets a cast, ‘Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut’ confirmed, ‘Barbie: The Movie’ coming soon, Werner Herzog wants to start a film school and David Cronenberg wants to remake his own remake ‘The Fly’!
Our Feature Reviews: David gives a quick review of ‘(500) Days of Summer’ and highly recommends it. Then David, Josh and Dave review the new Jonathan Mostow film ‘Surrogates’ starring Bruce Willis. ‘Surrogates’ is not an overwhelming success with anyone. David thought it was average with moments, Josh hated it and Dave thought it was the best movie ever made, no wait….sorry he thought it was pretty average too.
