Gaming Review – Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

The slowly creeping presence of zombies in mainstream popular culture means that they hardly need an introduction, but Capcom proves with Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, the prequel to the upcoming Dead Rising 2, that sometimes it doesn’t hurt to have a refresher course. In this installation the player takes control of Chuck Greene three […]

Review: Machete

I found Jan Brewer’s beheaded bodies, they are in…Machete! The Grindhouse faux trailer turned feature length grind house film fits in perfectly with its predecessors, Planet Terror and Death Proof. The film is just as over the top, gory, and ludicrous as those that aforementioned double feature and is filled with same game talent beyond […]

Review: The American

The second feature effort from Anton Corbijn is almost as good as his first and is a quiet, deliberate, and sexy thriller lead by the great George Clooney. Clooney stars as Jack/Edward, a hit man that is loosing his drive for the profession though is still as sharp as ever. After a too close for […]

Review: Going the Distance

Going the Distance is dirty R-rated romantic comedy that has a grounded and believable couple surrounded by a top notch supporting cast equals a funny and entertaining flick. The film follows Erin and Garrett a new couple that meets over a game of Centipede and when they fall harder than expected they decided to keep […]

Now Playing Review – Machete

Usually a man’s best friend is a dog, but you’ve got two guesses as to what Machete likes to keep at his side. Evildoers beware; you are about to be introduced to his BFF. Back in Mexico Machete was the one man on the police force that would make grown man weep if they heard […]

Now Playing Review – Going the Distance

Following the recent release of The Switch, it seems as if we have made yet another step in the right direction of the realistic romantic comedy with Going the Distance. Maybe not quite to the same extent as the former, but way better than that heightened, cookie cutter, romanticized nonsense, none-the-less. When it comes to […]

Gaming Review – Shank

Shank’s revenge story might be a tale as old as time, but that is where the comparisons to a Disney film end. Instead it provides a gruesome blood bath of 2D side-scrolling violence that would do Quentin Tarantino proud in many ways. The player will take control of the title character, wielding an array of […]

Gaming Review – Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game

For weeks now Playstation 3 owners have known what it is like to be Scott Pilgrim while the rest of us (I am including me because of my achievement whore status) have had to sit and live vicariously through the film and books. Now with the recent release on the Xbox 360 Arcade everyone can […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.6: Waldorf Stories

Oh, Mr. Draper. How far you have fallen and when we thought the hole could get no deeper you make it ever so.
