WWE Absolutely Everything You Need to Know Review

Gary Smith

The latest book release from the DK Publishing/WWE partnership dropped at the beginning of the month, and as you would expect it's a pretty good one. If you're a fan of pop culture books, you may have seen some other DK's other "Absolutely Everything You Need To Know" books for Star Wars, Marvel, and LEGO. WWE: Absolutely Everything You Need To Know is presented in that same style, and you can get an idea for what the entire book is like by the header image above and the image down below. The…

Neverwinter Review

Gary Smith

Neverwinter is a free-to-play MMORPG that released on PS4 over a month ago, but has been available on PC for three years and Xbox One for a over a year. This review is based on the PS4 version, and it's completely free in that you don't even need PlayStation Plus to play the game. Since its release, I've put A LOT of time into the game. I wouldn't do that if I didn't enjoy it. And while it is a free-to-play game, it no longer is to me. I've put $60 into the game, so it's basically a brand new…

The 100 Greatest WWE Matches Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

The partnership between WWE and DK Publishing has produced some of the highest quality WWE books ever, and that partnership's latest release certainly lives up to the high standards that they've set. In WWE: The 100 Greatest Matches, best-selling author Dean Miller returns to write in-depth about 100 WWE matches. Each match takes up two pages and details the lead up to the match, the match itself, and the aftermath of the match. All the text is broken up with wonderfully placed, high-quality…

Rainbow Moon (PS4) Review

Gary Smith

SideQuest Studios' wonderful RPG Rainbow Moon released on PS4 a couple of weeks ago. I originally reviewed this game back in 2012 when it released for PS3. As such, I'm reposting that review for the PS4 version. This is release is just Rainbow Moon on PS4. There's not much different, it's the same game. Having said that, it was the perfect time to re-release the game on PS4. The sequel, Rainbow Skies, is still scheduled to release on PS4 this year, and Rainbow Moon is a fairly sizeable game. So…

Review: Rise of The Tomb Raider

Eric W.2 Comments

The Tomb Raider reboot of 2013 was my dark horse game of the year, as it was for many other people. It was impressive and it struck a nice balance on gameplay and challenges that drew in many new fans to the series, including myself. I had always respected this series and I had tried out several of the earlier games, but the twitch gameplay and some other aspects were extremely frustrating. Now comes the highly anticipated sequel to the reboot and I can guarantee you this is a game that people…

Fallout 4 Review

Eric W.

It’s been a long time in coming… too long… but at last a new Fallout game is upon us and it’s very good. The good news is: A review like this is a mere formality since many of us have already broken the 100 hour figure on this. What more need be said, right?

WWE 2K16 Review

My confidence is now restored in this series and I'm excited for the direction it's headed in. In a number of ways these games are better than the real life product because we as fans can make the product the way we want it

Bone Tomahawk Review

William McPherson

This is a hell of a year for Kurt Russel fans. Not having done a western of any kind since Tombstone, 2015 will see him star in two oaters, this being the first, and the second one being QT’s upcoming ‘Hateful 8’. Bone Tomahawk (a truly great title) is billed as a genre-crossing horror western, although I would say that’s really only applicable to the final act of the film, which to be fair, cranks up the intensity level to eleven as far as the gore and terror are concerned. My wife is a huge…

Beetlejuice Review

William McPherson

My wife is among the world’s biggest Tim Burton fans, and this of course, is one of her favorite movies. Growing up I recall loving it too. It’s strange looking back now how little actual screen time Michael Keaton gets in the title role here, but it’s telling how much that he manages to do with said screen time. Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin carry the bulk of the movie, playing a newlywed couple that is killed in a freak car caused by them swerving to avoid hitting a cute little puppy. That’s…

At the end of Evil Dead 2 Ash, (who while not killing the undead demonic hordes of the world is a humble retail sales associate at S-Mart) jumped into this time vortex thingy-what-have-you or whatever and it transported him back to medieval times where he must use his cunning badassedry to help save a simple people from the evil that lurks among them. To save them, he must help them procure the ‘Book of the Dead’, the mystical entity from the previous two movies that unleashed all this hell to…

Sideways Review

William McPherson

It’s a real treat to stumble across a movie like ‘Sideways’. I’d never heard of this before stumbling across a showing on HBO last night, but considering it had two of my favorite character actors in Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, I figured it was worth a shot. Giamatti plays one of the best roles of his career here. His character, Miles, is a put-upon middle school English teacher who has been divorced for two years, and is struggling to get over his ex as well as get a novel published…

Black Mass Review

William McPherson2 Comments

What an unnerving film—and just in time for Halloween too. ‘Black Mass’ is an interesting exercise in genre bending/blending. There are really two films playing simultaneously. The first is the historical account of real life gangster James “Whitey” Bulger—a sociopathic killer who used his political connections to reign over South Boston (Southie) for several decades. This offers nothing new to the well-trodden ‘gangster’ genre and plays like Martin Scorsese on Quaaludes. The second movie is not…

Friday The 13th Review

William McPherson

I recently bought the entire F13 series on the cheap in several 5 dollar DVD double features, and the wife and I have been watching a couple every week. It is interesting now watching these movies that I used to stay up late watching as a kid. These movies were designed to be seen on dates, or in big group settings, and so I found it useful to have experienced these movies with an extra perspective to take note of. Here’s the plot crunch. Way back in the late 50s young Jason Voorhees drowns in…

Kill Bill Volume 2 Review

William McPherson

Kill Bill Volume 2 is kind of the yin to Kill Bill Volume 1’s yang (or vice versa). Unlike the first film which was pretty much one action sequence after another with brief moments to set up the next ones, this movie stops occasionally to let the characters---even the villains have their moments of reverence to make their just desserts that much more meaningful/conflicted when they come about. Michael Madsen here has his second best role next only to his work in Reservoir Dogs as a trailer park…

Kill Bill Volume 1 Review

William McPherson

Here is a movie that lives or dies on style alone. The story is as simple as it gets, and makes no pretense about existing as anything other than a device to bring us gobs and gobs of sword play and one liners. Uma Thurman is one pissed off Bride on a mission to skewer all the dirty SOBs who murdered her groom and left her for dead at the altar. There were so many aforementioned SOBs it turns out, that this process takes two movies to complete said revenge. We even have the classic set up of the…

American Beauty Review

William McPherson

This movie is to a dull suburbanite family existence, what Office Space was for a dull corporate office job—a fascinating glimpse at what it may be like to escape, with a reminder of the cost one would have to pay. People often forget that "American Beauty" is a comedy, because of how dark and deep it is willing to go, but it is, and at times a very funny one at that. It is also one of the most painfully human movies of my generation telling the story of a middle aged sad sap named Lester (Kevin…

Cast Away Review

William McPherson

This review contains spoilers. SPOILERS I SAY! If you haven’t seen it, just move it along here folks. Now, onto business. Cast Away is a great movie that could have been an even better movie, in my opinion, if they lopped off more from both the beginning and closing sections of the movie. Tom Hanks plays a UPS man who is every Tom Hanks cliché rolled into one, a sweet, loving, and generally well liked by everyone kind of guy. He has a fiancée that he is about to wed, before fate and his job put…

Gangs of New York Review

William McPherson

Gangs of New York represents the kind of old school cinematic excess such as Ben Hur and the Ten Commandments, with massive sets and thousands of extras, but with a modern arsenal of special effects to give it a little extra oomph. Daniel Day Lewis plays Bill the Butcher, the old school gangster kingpin of New York in the 1860s. Lewis plays Bill as a shrewd politician, and brutal schemer. His performance, like in most of his films, is the movie. Leonardo Decaprio plays the son of the man who…
