True Grit (2010) Review

William McPherson2 Comments

Now here is a movie deserving of its title, as True Grit, is truly, as tough and gritty as they come. I must confess that I do ever so love a good western. Like many, I grew up watching countless westerns with my dad and my grandfather. There's just something very special and timeless about that period of history just after the Civil War up until start of the 20th century, at least as far as movies are concerned. And when it comes to westerns, few of them were as watched and re-watched by me and…

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

Undead Nightmare really is something special. Priced at $10, or 800 Microsoft Points, on PSN and Xbox LIVE, it's the kind of DLC that even the most anti-DLC person can get behind. It features additional multiplayer modes, but even more importantly a stand-alone single player campaign that will last you roughly six to eight hours depending on your play style. It's so well done and so well polished, that Rockstar released it as a retail game packed with the other DLC content for Red Dead…

Mass Effect Review

Gary Smith3 Comments

What can I say about Mass Effect?  For those that haven’t played it before, it is one of the best gaming experiences you can have.  For those that have played it, it’s still one of the best gaming experiences you can have. Our journey begins as Commander Shephard, or your own custom made character if you choose to go that route, and the crew of the Normandy being sent to Eden Prime to assist in securing and recovering an artifact of an ancient, extinct alien race, the Protheans.  As you can…

Portal 2 Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Reviewer's Note: I am reviewing the Playstation 3 version of the game, which I got after the attack on the Playstation Network. As such, I have been unable to link the game to my Steam account or connect to PSN to play the online co-op. Therefore, this review does not factor any of the Steam features or the online play. This review is purely based on the single player campaign.  Once PSN service is restored and I spend enough time testing the online features, I may revise and update the review…

Goldfinger Review

William McPherson

“Bond: Do you expect me to talk? Goldfinger: No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" Hello everyone and welcome to the third entry in my series of reviews covering the James Bond film franchise. Tonight we enter into what many fans and critics alike consider to be the ‘high ground’ of the series overall. If you read my previous entry in this series, you of course know that I do not share this opinion, as I feel that designation still belongs firmly to ‘From Russia With Love’ but that aside, the film…

From Russia With Love Review

William McPherson2 Comments

Hello everyone and welcome to the second in my series of reviews covering the James Bond film franchise. When last we left him, our hero was snug as a bug in a rug, in a boat with the lovely Honey Ryder drifting away the hours in the steamy Jamaican seas. All this of course after successfully foiling villainous S.P.E.C.T.R.E agent Dr No’s dastardly scheme for world domination and decimating his entire underground operation to boot. A tough day’s work for anyone no doubt, and one that might…

The Wrestler Review

William McPherson1 Comment

(spoiler warning - this review may contain slight spoilers) If there was to be one word to describe Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson it would be this: addict. He is an intense abuser of alcohol and several different kinds of drugs, both recreational and otherwise, but that is not what I am talking about here. Robin Ramzinski, which is The Ram’s real name in the movie, is mainly addicted to acceptance, and, in whatever form he can find it, love. He gets his fill of that mostly from his primary job…

3:10 to Yuma Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Daniel Evans (Bale) is a poor rancher trying to make it out West with his wife and two sons, and having a hard time making it work. Evans is figuratively and almost literally a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest (he lost one of his feet in the Civil War). His youngest boy has tuberculosis, and in order to pay for medicine, he had to take loans that he can’t make enough money to repay, as it’s not easy to raise good cattle with a drought. About to lose his small ranch and become homeless…

Gran Torino Review

William McPherson2 Comments

“Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while that you shouldn't have fucked with? That's me.” - Clint Eastwood as Walt Kowalski Clint Eastwood is not just an actor, he is an American institution. If they ever make a place on Mount Rushmore for iconic badasses his mug should be the first one etched up there, that is, if they can find suitably hard enough granite for his likeness. I, like many, grew up learning what it meant to be a ‘real man’ by watching movies like Dirty Harry, The…

The Green Mile Review (1999)

Gary Smith2 Comments

Frank Darabont's The Green Mile is one of the finest films of the 1990s. Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan deliver performances that follow you home and sit down at the kitchen table.
