Archer: Danger Island Review
One of the hallmarks of a good Archer season (they are all fairly good) is enough snappy dialogue, and action set pieces to keep the viewer interested as the plot flows from one scene to the next. Traditionally this was done through seasons that took place outside of Archer’s head in the ‘real world’. Now after his coma however, the last two seasons have taken place in fantasy la...[Read More]
Between Worlds Review
Nicolas Cage has had an interesting career hasn’t he? His list of roles stretches long and wide, starting with (apparently) Oscar worthy performances that devolved into lead roles in straight to DVD movies reeking with an artificiality akin to pesticides. Did anyone even notice when Between Worlds was released? Perhaps I’m being too judgmental. Perhaps I shouldn’t have gone into this movie expecti...[Read More]
The Cloverfield 3-Movie Collection
When the first Cloverfield hit screens back in January of 2008, many praised the film for its style and approach to the creature feature. Undoubtedly it was a success, for its time being the most successful January release, making 40.1 million on its opening weekend. While the found footage approach may not hold up as well today, the film still told an old story in a new way. There was a focus on ...[Read More]
Black Sails: The Complete Series
There’s something to be said about the recreated historical dramas that have risen in popularity over the last few years; Downton Abbey, Poldark, Peaky Blinders, Vikings, Marco Polo, Rome, and Jamestown come to mind. It’s obvious there is a demand and streaming services and traditional channels alike have answered the call with a plethora of semi-accurate historical pieces that introduce act...[Read More]
Ant-Man and the Wasp
I don’t need to tell you about Marvel, I don’t need to explain their success or their complex ever expanding universe that brings in millions of fans and casual viewers alike. When you go see a Marvel movie you expect action, quips, interesting characters, fighting, maybe some explosions, and you get what you sign up for. Ant-Man and the Wasp sticks to the tried and true formula continuing the sto...[Read More]
Ninjin: Clash of Carrots
Ninjin: Clash of Carrots succeeds in mimicking those side scrolling beat-em-ups of yesteryear. With an anime-inspired art style, a fantastic chiptune soundtrack, and addicting gameplay, it’s hard to put down. The story is simple, with a focus on comedy, that gets out of the way for the gameplay, and aside from a few stages that feel a bit repetitive, its some of the most fun I’ve had in a si...[Read More]
Scum Review (Early Access)
Survival games, battle royal, looting, shooting, resource management, crafting, and zombies, at this point it’s enough to make you vomit before you can say, ‘Not again!’ Anytime I see a new survival game plastered on the Steam store page, I have a tendency to roll my eyes, and with Scum seemingly doing a little bit of everything listed above, I was skeptical to say the least. When I first lo...[Read More]
Scooby-Doo! and The Gourmet Ghost
Everyone knows the name Scooby-Doo, from the golden age of Hanna-Barbera to those classic direct-to-video animations like Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, and there’s really no surprise the Great Dane has survived as long as he has. For fifty years, from 1969 up until now we’ve gotten television shows, spin-offs, a plethora of special guests, animated movies, and live action movies just to name a few....[Read More]
The King’s Bird
2D platformers face a unique, if not more difficult challenge in creating believable and alluring worlds when compared to the more contemporary first person shooters and action oriented games of today. The big problem being; how can a game compete, through its visuals, sounds, and storytelling, all the while doing so with one less dimension? When you first start up The King’s Bird it may seem like...[Read More]
Arrow: The Complete Sixth Season
Season six of the CW’s Arrow does one thing consistently well when mimicking its comic counterparts, keeping a steady flow of action and campy dialogue coming in each episode. However, that’s just about the only consistency you can expect from this season. Season six picks up where the previous left off after the explosion on Lian Yu left the main cast in, well… limbo, their fates unknown to...[Read More]
