Review: Avatar

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 0:56 3 Comments

Yes, we already know that Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, making a bazillion dollars. However, despite its critical and commercial success, is it the grandiose, interstellar accomplishment we all thought it would be?  Well, that all depends really.  If you’re looking for a visual feast, rife with action and startling effects [...]

While I confess I’m only now in the process of digesting the original Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, I have had the fortune of seeing Guy Ritchie’s interpretation on the silver screen recently.  Having a newfound respect for Robert Downey Jr. after his excellent portrayal of Tony Stark, I set [...]

As Nicole pointed out a few days ago, we went to the midnight launch of New Moon the other day.  Having not read the books, I wasn’t overly thrilled at the prospect of going, but Nicole loves the series and since I love Nicole I did the nice boyfriend thing and went with her to [...]

Review: Paranormal Activity

Monday, October 19, 2009 11:58 4 Comments

Viewer beware, Paranormal Activity will scare you.  Touted as one of the only films to attribute its success to viewer demand via the internet, it’d be easy to dismiss this indie horror film as having the quality of a direct-to-DVD movie (and in truth, it almost was.)  However, I’m delighted to report that this wasn’t [...]

Review: Zombieland

Zombieland, featuring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, is the tale of a ragtag group of zombie apocalypse survivors as they make their way through what’s left of the now barren United States.  Columbus (Eisenberg) is heading toward you guessed it- Columbus Ohio which is awesome in its own right. However, on his way he [...]

Thoughts on Watchmen: The Director’s Cut

Thursday, August 6, 2009 23:41 No Comments

As I’m sure many of you realize, the director’s cut of Watchmen was recently released in all of its 1080p goodness.  What you may not know though, is that it packs in an additional 24 minutes of footage making this behemoth of a film a hefty 186 minutes.
I wasn’t utterly dismayed at the theatrical release [...]

Review: Infamous

Tuesday, June 2, 2009 22:47 No Comments

So recently I did a little bit of complaining about Sony on Episode 2 regarding their releasing a slim line PS3, claiming they should be concentrating on producing high-quality exclusive titles instead of another pointless hardware upgrade.  Well, I very shortly thereafter ate my words upon learning Infamous had just been released.  Nicole and I [...]

Review: Wanted: Weapons of Fate

Monday, May 18, 2009 21:55 2 Comments

I didn’t have a lot to do this weekend, so I thought I’d rent a game to get some quick achievement points. As fate would have it (bad pun intended),  I opted for Wanted: Weapons of Fate.  While initially I didn’t plan to actually finish the game, it ended up being far shorter than [...]
