posted 11-17-10 by Max Tedaldi

Several months ago I wrote an article about a few of my favorite short films. Since that time, I have continued my exploration on the art of the short film and have come to appreciate the quality and poetic nature of films that can do in 10 minutes what most need 90 to accomplish. The [...]

Top 10 Movies With Young Female Killers — Murder Never Looked So Good

posted 11-12-10 by 30 Ninjas Staff

2010 and 2011 should be good years for movies with young female killers; first Kick-Ass, and next year Hanna, Sucker Punch, and Violet and Daisy. Why are these films so appealing? The combination of innocence and violent power these girls embody is irresistible. For the older characters, the plots overflow with themes of erupting sexual [...]

Thursday in Action — Y: The Last Man, Robogeisha, and Adapting Pixels

posted 11-11-10 by Max Tedaldi

Y: The Last Man It seems like Y: The Last Man has been stuck in development hell ever since the epic comic series was complete almost 3 years ago. It’s long, really long, 6 years of comics long, and any adaptation of everyone’s favorite last-man-on-earth-with-pet-monkey story would be sure to upset the diehards. Unless of [...]

You may think that you don’t know who Noon Orsatti is, but I can assure you that you do. He’s the guy responsible for that 30-car pile-up, the guy who helped arm Sly Stallone with 30 guns, the guy who discovered the 30 ways of achieving a parkour pratfall. He is the stuntman sensei of [...]

The Dark Knight Rises Fans of Joseph Gordon-Levitt who have been holding out for the announcement that he would be playing the questionable Edward Nigma, aka The Riddler, can sadly exhale.

As you trudge up the interminable stairs that lead to your 5th period English class your stomach suddenly lurches into your chest cavity. You double over in insurmountable pain and grasp the rail for support, but alas, the faint reminder of impending doom has blurred your vision and your hand swipes at barren space. It [...]

The Walking Dead Clip 10 days seems like forever, but that’s how long I will have to maintain my zombiepocalypse craving until The Walking Dead premiers this Halloween. We’ve had trailers, featurettes and the odd clip or two, but these have really served to only tease at the AMC’s latest offering. Prepare to be teased [...]

About a year ago, I interviewed Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, writers of the latter half of the Saw franchise about what inspired them in all their gore and glory. I was honestly in awe of what creative minds could do with nothing more than a blank canvas to splattered in gore. This year they [...]
