For the second year in a row, I’ve played through Wolfenstein: The New Order twice, back to back. Last year it was on Playstation 3, and it was great. I don’t believe it suffered being a last-gen version of a multiplatform game. This time, I’ve played through it on Playstation 4, and while it looks better, I’d say I enjoyed both versions about equally. They … Continue reading Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Art of Replayability
The Hunger Pangs Best described as a mix of Mario Party minigames and a brawler, Kirby: Battle Royale released last month on 3DS as a belated part of the franchise’s 25th anniversary. While some reviews for the game popped up, the response has been sleepy at best. As someone who follows gaming news daily, even I wasn’t sure what this game was, or that it … Continue reading Game Review – Kirby Battle Royale (3DS)

I started my first video game blog when I was in high school, and kept up with it for months. I transitioned into writing for a website, but was quickly overwhelmed and had to refocus my life on other things. This blog … Continue reading A Look Back at Nier

In this episode of Silver Screens & Politics, Brett and Dominic explore ‘Broken Promises: The United Nations at 60.” This documentary, which was made largely to explore the failed aspects of the UN’s broad global reach, was released in 2005. Most vital to the purposes of this podcast, though, it also includes an interview with then-real estate mogul, Donald Trump. In the grand tradition of … Continue reading 10: “Broken Promises” is the Worst Birthday Celebration Ever
In this week’s episode, Brett and Dominic explore 1995’s Anthony Hopkins-vehicle, ‘Nixon.’ Nixon is paranoid. Nixon is sad. Nixon thinks he killed Kennedy? What on earth is going on in this three hour spectacle of boredom? 5/10, doesn’t include Nixon aggressively grabbing Checkers the dog’s ears and yelling “we’re keepin’ him!” Next Sunday, join us for 2005’s ‘Broken Promises: The United Nations at 60.’ Want … Continue reading 9: Why is “Nixon” Three Hours?! Three… Hours…
This (in)famous 1970s TV movie featured a young John Travolta as Tod, a teenager with immune deficiencies that forced him to live in plastic tents and positive-pressure rooms all his life, until he met this girl… Loosely based on a true story, this movie took a few liberties with science that are a little hard to swallow. For our next round of “You Did This … Continue reading 10: The Boy in the Plastic Bubble
Long before HBO was what it is today, they were trying to find their footing with original content. In 1995, they released “Truman,” a biopic of Harry Truman starring Gary Sinise. He sits on a park bench for awhile. He also learns how government works, sort of. It’s not exactly a high point in the HBO lineage. But, hey! That’s why we’re here. To make … Continue reading 8: At Least “Truman” Isn’t Egregiously Awful
Why did we cover 2008’s “Ip Man” for our second Around the World movie? Because Donnie Yen is THE Man, not just Ip Man. Known in the West primarily as Bruce Lee’s teacher, Ip Man had a fascinating life story that Donnie Yen portrays with a Zen-like calm and a smoldering strength. This movie covers the period of the Japanese occupation of Man’s city of … Continue reading 9: Ip Man
| By Nicole Davis | Life is short. Too short to subject myself to “CHiPs” or “Baywatch” or “The Emoji Movie.” So the not-so-great movies I see are unfortunate surprises. If you haven’t seen these yet, and your taste is similar to mine, you may want to steer clear. 5. Colossal This is appearing on a few “best” lists for the year, and I’m not … Continue reading My 5 Most Disappointing Films of 2017
