Chicago – Being a Steven Spielberg super-fan, I looked forward to being able to re-appreciate “The Adventures of Tintin” with a beautiful HD picture and, I hoped, some special features to enhance my opinion of a film that I found pretty seriously flawed in theaters. Well, the HD transfer is a beauty — the film looks just as good as its 3D theatrical presentation — but the film is still flawed and the special features are lackluster. In theaters, it was a near-miss and my opinion has not changed on Blu-ray.
Blu-ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
Excepting for a few stand-out action scenes that, admittedly, look fantastic in HD, I still find “Tintin” dull. It’s boring. I know that’s a very American opinion (the film has been a juggernaut internationally, where Herge’s comic is much more popular) but I guess this is just the soccer of cartoons — bigger overseas.

Chicago – Being a huge Steven Spielberg fan and a pretty big aficionado of Peter Jackson (who produced) as well, I was pretty psyched to see what these two undeniable geniuses could do in the world of motion-capture animation with their collaboration on the adaptation of the hit Herge cartoon “The Adventures of Tintin.” That’s why it hurts me to say that, excepting a few stand-out action scenes, this is a shockingly dull affair, something that lulled me to sleep far more often than it inspired my imagination to life. Hardcore fans of the series may be satisfied and the film has been a juggernaut overseas where the source material is more popular (it’s made $239 million already worldwide), but I guess something is just lost in translation for this critic.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a trailer for Peter Jackson & Steven Spielberg's upcoming CG animated The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn yet, as it arrives in theaters exactly a year from now, but I'm sure they're waiting for the right time.

If anyone can turn a franchise largely unknown outside of Europe into a Stateside crowd-pleaser, it would Steven Spielberg. /Film brings us some beautiful high-resolution frames from the Peter Jackson-Spielberg motion-capture 3-D collaboration, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn. We’ve already seen a few pics, and it looks like Spielberg and company have managed to largely avoid that freaky Uncanny Valley effect. (And I know some of you out there were kind of turned on by Zoe Saldana‘s Neytiri in Avatar… but, uh, no comment other than – go to a bar and talk to a girl.)
So here we go – Tintin (Jamie Bell) and Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis, thank God), stuck in a desert for reasons that will be probably be made clear once we have an actual trailer. (Although don’t hold your breath – on Saving Private Ryan, the DreamWorks marketing people had to...

The more I hear and see about The Adventures of Tin-Tin: The Secret of the Unicorn, the more and more I like it. Since it's still a year away, you may not have heard much about it. It features the team of Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, who are both working hard on this one.
The images show Tintin (Jamie Bell) and Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) is quite the panoramic desert picture, then Tintin and Barnaby (Joe Starr) in a film-noir shot, and finally Silk (Toby Jones) with the twins Thompson and Thompson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) in the background.

Three new high resolution images for The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn from the team-up between directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson has been released.
These images were originally in Empire. The first shows Tintin (Jamie Bell) and Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) walking in the desert. The second features Tintin and Barnaby (Joe Starr) face to face in what looks like a frame from a classic film noir, and finally the third reveals the twins Thompson and Thompson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) with Silk (Toby Jones) in the foreground.

We're still waiting to see a trailer for The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, which is the ground-breaking team-up between directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. We've seen a few [1] images [2], and now there are high-res versions of three of them. So you can see all the minute detail that is going into the mo-capped 3D film. These images were originally in Empire, and they show Tintin (Jamie Bell) and Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) in a stunning desert shot, then Tintin and Barnaby (Joe Starr) encountering one another in a very noirish shot, and finally the twins Thompson and Thompson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) with Silk (Toby Jones) in the foreground.

The British Empire magazine is debuting the first-ever images from Peter Jackson's The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn in their print edition, but only made a handful of the images available online. Now, thanks to the French site FilmsActu.com, we've got a look at scans from other images in the film, featuring the Thompson twins played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the thief Silk played by Toby Jones, and Joe Starr's character Barnaby. There's also a nice shot of what appears to be Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and Tintin himself (Jamie Bell) in the desert, which gives a nice sense of the cartoony, mo-cap visuals of the film. Check out all three below and click to go to FilmsActu, where they have surprisingly high-res versions. I'm still a little skeptical about the film, both because the visuals seem a little off somehow and the...

After one great and two rather awkward first photos, FIlmsactu has posted scans of three more photos from "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" and the verdict is definitely better, showing off a more stylised look to the characters and environments which make the 'uncanny valley' effect less disconcerting.
In the shots we see a first look at twin detectives Thomson and Thompson, the roles Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are set to play, as they question Silk (Toby Jones), a pickpocket with kleptomania who has been lifting wallets all over town. The second shows Barnaby (Joe Starr) delivering a warning to Tintin.
Most revealing though is the third shot of the bunch which looks like a direct panel recreation from "The Crab with the Golden Claws" with Tintin and Haddock stuck in the Sahara desert after a plane crash. This definitely confirms comments previously made by...

The film is based on the Tintin series of graphic novels written and drawn by renowned Belgian cartoonist Georges Prosper Remi better know as Hergé.
Now Geek Tyrant has a new look via Empire Magazine, revealing more characters! You can see Joe Starr as Barnaby below and well as Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thompson and Thompson in the background and Toby Jones as Silk in the foreground.
As a comparison Geek Tyrant also has this great image below from the comic. I absolutely love this design and can’t wait to see it in motion.

For those of you who are interested in Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson's new motion capture CGI 3D project The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, here are three new images that have been uncovered. The new images reveal a few more characters from the movie which include Joe Starr as Barnaby, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thompson and Thompson, and Toby Jones as Silk. Of course you won't recognize any of these actors in the images below.
I love the film noir style that I'm seeing in these images. The virtual cinematography looks great. Check out the images that were scanned from Empire Magazine and let us know what you think!
The image above is from the Tintin story The Crab with the Golden Claws. you can see the pick from the comic below.

Levittown, New York — Comedian Greg Giraldo's passing, reportedly due to an accidental drug overdose, rocked the comedy circuit. While family and friends were shaken by the sudden death, they were allotted an outlet at the Governor's Comedy Club tribute and benefit show in Levittown, New York on Friday night.
The turnout was immense at the venue, where Giraldo was scheduled to appear, and the event raised over $3,000 in support for Geraldo's family. Club owner Marc Lund managed to organize the event on just two days notice, easily booking comedians from all across the state with tremendous support.
"We wanted to celebrate his life," said Lund. "A lot of comics use this as a release."
