This is not an easy game. I keep getting defeated. But, that’s sort of the point. Guild Of Dungeoneering places players in charge of a guild which they expand to attract new adventurers. Those adventurers get sent out to various dungeons which the player winds up building using their deck of cards as they are…
I don’t understand why people didn’t like this film. There’s a good adventure here, a moral, optimism, and essentially it just feels like the classic Disney live action films the type of which are not made much any more but we always complain about them not being made any more. Are we as a society…
With “Adventure Time” getting regular home video releases in full season sets, one might wonder why Warner Brothers and Cartoon Network would bother to release a compilation style DVD. Fortunately there is a good reason this time. This DVD collects a number of episodes dealing with the Enchiridion, the Book Of Heroes, a volume acting as a…
Honestly, I expected a sequel to My Little Pony Equestria Girls, and we got it, in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. What I didn’t expect was how far this offshoot of “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” would go. Now we have My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games, the third and…
One of the more recent of the Peanuts television specials, “He’s A Bully, Charlie Brown” was initially made available as a bonus episode on the DVD release of “You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown” which came out about seven years ago. Now we get this titular special leading the charge. Instead of the usual school setting…
Originally an iPad game, one might worry about the transition to a computer, but Gunpowder apparently does so with ease.

Using an “old west” setting the story…
Easily one of the most famous of Walt Disney’s animated classics, 1950’s Cinderella remains eminently watchable today. The story itself is almost as old as time, so in a way it is hard to both mess it up as well as retell it in a way that makes it stand out. Disney (sans Walt) attempts…
This does not replace the season sets that have been available through Amazon (I am still waiting on seasons 2 & 3, c’mon Shout Factory) but this is one of the better overview DVDs of the series. “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” not only survived the relaunch of the brand with staying power, but the…
The worst things about this Blu-ray is the cover art. It’s horrible. Thankfully Shout Factory usually includes reversible sleeves. I tossed the cardboard outer sleeve and underneath the plastic of the Blu-ray case I turned the paper insert around and now have artwork that more closely resembles the original theatrical poster on display. I mean,…
After the unceremonious cancellation of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” we got “Star Wars: Rebels” which aims to help fill in some gaps between the films Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope. By creating a new cast of characters we are getting a fresh look at not necessarily the rise of the Galactic…
