So the biggest week of the year for the video game world is here and it started these last two days with the annual first party conferences where the Big Three unveil there plans for the year to come. With everyone still on a major console release freeze we are instead being introduced to the […]
Read more "E3 2010: Microsoft, Sony, & Nintendo Press Conference Reflections"2009’s Fame may hit on some of the best parts of the entertainment industry with performances of music and dance, but all of this being crammed into one film leaves little room for an actual film to really form. The New York Academy of Performing Arts is apparently the place to be for upcoming, high […]
Read more "Rental Review – Fame"As far as video games go, Alan Wake is the closest I have ever come to playing a game of the horror genre (because I don’t think my roommate handing over the controller for a minor section of Dead Space counts). Technically it says “psychological action thriller” right on the box, but I will ignore […]
Read more "Gaming Review – Alan Wake"The latest TV adaptation, The A-Team, gets 3 great actors and one unproven one together with a director that can shoot some action and the results is an almost non-stop action flick with paper thin characters and a weak plot that is quite a lot of fun. The A-Team is a group of rangers who […]
Read more "Review: The A-Team"The Karate Kid remake is more of in spirit re-imagining but the result is an effective family film that avoids sap, teaches good morals/lessons, and features a couple of great turns by its two leads. Dre and his Mom are forced to move to China as times are tough in Detroit and if Dre’s mom […]

I actually enjoy a lot of what Jack Black does, but I still wasn’t so sure since I have already recently seen a movie with a giant guy surrounded by tinier people (that would be Night at the Museum. Or that childhood […]
Read more "Suggestion Box (May 31 – June 6)"Letters to Juliet is another entry into the romantic comedy genre that is about as cookie cutter as cookie cutters can get. It is predictable, cheesy, and underwhelming more often than not, but somehow even though I was rolling my eyes at it all, I couldn’t help but be charmed by the familiar love story. […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Letters to Juliet"2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall introduced the scene-stealing character of Aldous Snow, who quite deservingly got a spin-off of his own with Get Him to the Greek. Though it was not exactly what I hoped for, it had enough hilarious bits to tip the scales in a favorable direction. Following the events of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Get Him to the Greek"The Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin off, Get Him to the Greek, is a scatter shot of randomness and hilarious that is a tad disjointed but more than makes up for any awkwardness with some great humor from its three leads. The film picks up sometime after Sarah Marshall’s timeline, Aldous Snow is no longer sober […]
Read more "Review: Get Him to the Greek"Vincenzo Natali’s latest is a weird, interesting, and often messed up creature feature that isn’t the horror movie it is being sold as until the third act, in which it pretty much wastes all of its well earned curiosity and enjoyment by going from something almost wholly original to riddled with cliché. The film follows […]
