Tron Legacy Review

Its a very pretty mess. Olivia Wilde as Quorra is charming and gorgeous. Though her character’s significance is never really understood, what little time she had speaking brought bits of life into an otherwise dull script. Jeff Bridges talks like he never left the 1980s; very dude like. Very radical. Plenty of beautiful all white [...]

This Is Not a Scott Pilgrim Review

I snuck in to see The Expendables, and that might be the best way to see it. Thinking back to my youth when if I wanted to see a rated “R” movie, it was a covert operation, The Expendables should cater to the same boyish desire to see ridiculous action and stuff blow up. Stallone’s [...]

Likes: Inception

Inception, intimidates me. It’s also one of the few recent movies that I’ve had a dire need to see immediately. Not just to avoid spoilers, it called me to the cinema with the promise of something new. I avoided as much media as possible in anticipation. What I saw was something familiar, but in a [...]

A Kick Ass Review

I saw Matthew Vaughn’s Kick Ass at 11:10 AM in a theater with two of my friends. I remember seeing one other person in the theater. Maybe this movie is better with a large, active crowd, but that didn’t stop me at all from enjoying this flick. I’m a fan of the comic, for both [...]

Das Demo: Brütal Legend

The Brütal Legend (that umlaut is becoming a pain..) demo is out, and I’ve been curious about this game, the buzz is all about the writing and humor, but I’ve heard mediocre things about the actual game play. Tim Schafer is a legendary video game humorist, with his adventure games at Lucas Arts, and “the [...]

WET: Demo Impressions…

More like a blanket and less like a t-shirt contest…WET is all style with little substance.  The demo kicks off with the scene of a predictable deal going to go wrong complete with unremarkable dialogue.  In jumps our heroine! The game features a gritty film reel look, with an attempt at feeling like a 70′s [...]

Retro Rebirth: Shadow Complex

The wait is over and Shadow Complex was released unto the world after much acclaim at the past E3, garnering several “Best of” awards and a double decker train of hype.  But is it deserving of this praise as it tries to fill in the path of such legends of the past as Super Metroid [...]

Star(t) Trek: Review, Probably Has Spoilers…

JJ Abrams flys in the face of Trekkies everywhere by bringing a little classic Star Wars attitude to the aging franchise.  He chose to reboot and invite a broader audience by focusing in on character development and relationship instead of heavy handed themes masked by intergalactic diplomacy. It’s true, there isn’t much thinking to be [...]

So…Its Like Polo… But With Murder… Madworld Initial Impressions

So Madworld snuck out…I knew it was just around the corner, but I got overwhelmed elsewhere.  Luckily, I snagged the last copy at my local Best Buy.  I’ve had a lot of hope for this game, as it looks fantastic and is one of those rare mature titles actually coming out on the Wii.  It [...]
