I don’t like this game. This isn’t going to be a favorable review. Hear me out. The thing is, Beyblade: Evolution isn’t a bad game from what I can tell. It’s just not what my I or even my 10 year old son enjoy. Travelling around and battling other characters is a stable in these…
I know I shouldn’t get picky about this, but for a film that wants to be as authentic about its soundtrack there are a couple of obvious mistakes. Suede’s “So Young” was from 1993, a year after the 20 year past mark the film is supposed be celebrating. Pulp’s “Do You Remember Your First Time”…
“Oh, that’s a good special!” That was the reaction my 10 year old son had when he saw an email (he was looking over my shoulder for some reason) that “Jake And The Never Land Pirates” had a new DVD available based on the double-length episode “Jake’s Never Land Rescue” (he, along with his…
We are dropped into the middle of a case that appears to involve a Mexican cocaine smuggling ring. Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington are either criminals or undercover agents, and it’s not clear which is which if that is the case. Add to this a bank job that adds a couple of surprises. 2 Guns…
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a big game. New York City big. Players have a lot of territory to cover and a lot of character to cover it with. While the story will take players to other parts of the Marvel universe, it is New York City that is the heart of the game….
There are a few times when I really wish my old review website was still functional I am pretty sure I reviewed the original Jewel Master: Cradle Of Egypt on PC a few years ago (or at least a game very similar to it). Much of this is familiar, and for a good reason. The…
Cars was so successful it spawned a franchise. Not only was there a series of shorts (Maters Tall Tales) and a film sequel, but also now a themed area in Disney’s California Adventure park. A spin-off was put into production and was originally to be a direct to video offering, but the test footage looked…
Danguard Ace was a segment in the “Force Five” anthology series along with a few other Japanese animated offerings. What Shout Factory has to offer isn’t the full series, but is instead The Movie Collection on DVD. Originally 56 half-hour episodes, eventually they would get edited down and compiled into several movies, presumably for VHS….
Six of the starring ponies are featured in six episodes of “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” with the latest compilation DVD release A Pony For Every Season. While not as cool as the season sets (I’m still waiting for Season Two to arrive) having this as an introductory package for new viewers is a…
R.I.P.D. was a flop. It didn’t make its money at the box office. Critics for the most part lambasted it for having more style over substance as well as a lack of originality. Thing is, it’s not a bad film. It does have some flaws, but overall it’s enjoyable. A cross between Ghostbusters and…
