My "Men Who Stare at Goats" Review
Just wrote a review last night about Men Who Stare at Goats, a truly unique film that combines psychic warfare, Iraq, the new age 70′s movement, Vietnam, and goats. It’s really quite an absurd film. Here’s a snipplet from my review: This quirky adventure mixes the irony of psychic warfare in the US army, a tale of self discovery, political commentary, a mix of great actors, and a premise that is guaranteed to be off-the-wall. While this may seem like a sure winner, it stumbles rather than taking flight and becoming a true classic. Interested in what I’ve got to say?...

I’ve been going through a few different games lately, most of them are older games! However, all of them are pretty damn fun. KOTOR 2 I’m super excited to get my hands on this one, because I’ve been wanting to try out the Restoration Mod for ages. Now I get to! I’m installing it right now, actually. Woo! Mercenaries 2 The first Mercenaries was one of my favorite console games of all time. The destructible environments, the ability to hijack anything, the warzone environment, a huge arsenal of airstrikes, artillery, and bombing runs. the ability to...
Read MoreMovie Review: District 9
I’ve written a review for the Science Fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp called District 9. Just what is District 9? You really have to watch the movie to find out. And boy, will it blow your mind. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I believe that you, too, should have the experience of watching it. You read my review posted over at my new website called “Movie...
Read MoreNew Muse Song: United State of Eurasia
So. basically, I’m a huge Muse fan. I love them. I mean, they’re great. Right? They’re essentially my favorite band of all time So. they have a new album coming up in September. So. they just released one of their songs from it. It’s called United State of Eurasia. And it is my favorite song (for now). At first, it was kind of a turn off. It’s a bit quiet (at first), and it just seemed a bit cheesy. It was also a bit too political. But after I realized it wasn’t just silly American bashing and it actually had a legit point, I enjoyed it a bit more. It look...
Read MoreThe Watchmen Review
[singlepic=70,410,240,,] The Watchmen is part action, part mystery, part drama, but mainly it’s just damn interesting. The movie itself is a near carbon copy of the graphic novel, and it doesn’t just skim the interesting bits from the top – it delves into a lot of detail. [singlepic=67,115,100,,left]There’s a lot of adult subjects in here. From nudity to excessive gore to political commentary to deep characterization, The Watchmen doesn’t treat you like you’re stupid. It gives you the respect to watch a deep, adult oriented movie, without having to dumb...
Read MoreLeft 4 Dead Review
[singlepic=89,410,240,,] Ever since the invention of bots within Counter-Strike, people have been restricting them to use knives only. and putting massive numbers of bots. Nothing is quiet as fun as mowing down dozens of rushing bots. Well, that idea expanded into actual “Zombie” modifications within Counter-Strike, which provided a lot of replay value. The idea of battling zombies within the Source engine can be largely accredited due to these inventive modders. [singlepic=92,115,100,,left]So then the idea of Left 4 Dead was born: a teamwork focused game where you and three other...
