Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 3rd, 2014 – Take the Road Less Traveled By

Josh Zyber — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:00:26 +0000

One of the biggest blockbuster hits of the year comes to Blu-ray this week, but unless you’re of an age that ends with “-teen,” you probably don’t care. New Releases ‘Divergent‘ – What I said above in the intro paragraph to this post is probably not fair, as the target demographic for the latest YA...

Luke Hickman — Mon, 17 Mar 2014 17:00:31 +0000

Lots of money was made at the box office this weekend, but not so much from Friday’s new releases. The top two spots flip-flopped from last weekend. DreamWorks Animation’s ‘Mr. Peabody & Sherman‘ climbed into first place by slipping only 34% and earning another $21.2 million. After ten days, the 3D family flick has brought...

Weekend Movies: A Long Time Ago, We Used to Be Friends

Luke Hickman — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:00:09 +0000

Ready. Set. Go! This weekend’s most noticeable movie releases belong to three franchises – that is, if you consider Tyler Perry’s schtick a franchise. Which I do. Along with Perry’s latest, cruising towards you is a videogame adaptation and the big-screen revival of a canceled television series. Few are likely to enjoy all three, but...

‘Need for Speed’ Review: Needs a Rewrite

Philip Brown — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:00:51 +0000

There are few things more thrillingly cinematic than a car chase, which is why it’s odd that so many movies based around that twisted metal thrill tend to be so dull. ‘Need for Speed’ is a perfect example. Here’s a movie directed by a former stunt man (Scott Waugh) who is hell bent on reviving...

The Trailer Park: Not Much Else Going On

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:00:45 +0000

The last couple of weeks have been pretty slow in terms of new movie trailers. With little else to discuss, let’s look at a few potentially interesting movies coming soon. ‘The Rover’ First, ‘Mad Max’ portrayed a post-apocalyptic future set in Australia. Now, David Michôd (who directed the excellent ‘Animal Kingdom’) envisions a violent and...

Videogame Releases: PS4 Launch Edition

Brian Hoss — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:00:18 +0000

With apologies to the Wii U, the next generation of videogame consoles begins with the PS4, and the launch of a new console means launch games to go with it! All in all, the launch lineup is a mixed bag. It’s heavy with games that are available on other platforms, and it’s missing both ‘Watch...

Videogame Releases: Week of October 28th, 2012

Brian Hoss — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 17:00:40 +0000

The sheer volume of videogames being released this week is spooky. ‘The Avengers’, ‘Lego’, ‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘Wreck-it Ralph’… These are just some of the properties eclipsed this week by a French game. Assassin’s Creed III (360, PS3) The jump in detail and scope between the first two ‘Assassin’s Creed’ games was massive, but...

Videogame Releases: Week of November 14th, 2010

Dick Ward — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 16:00:08 +0000

We get the release of the first multiplayer ‘Assassin’s Creed’ title and a console version of ‘NBA Jam’ all in one week? Seems amazing, right? Well, it’s not all good. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (360, PS3) While playing ‘Assassin’s Creed’, have the thoughts “Boy, this game could use multiplayer!” or “If only I could play against...
