Jurassic Park

A landmark in filmmaking, too bad it’s not as good as we remember.

Okay courageous readers, here’s something new for you. The first review of a movie based very stongly on a book. Due to the complexity of the original Michael Crichton book, I kind of have to look at this review in a different manner. This was both a good movie, and a crappy movie. By that I mean in comparison to the book. If you look at the book and compare directly to the …

SiN Episodes: Emergence

Feel like playing a naughty game? Do us a favor and play this instead of strip poker. No one wants to see that.

Throughout video game history, there have been a number of exceedingly appropriate titles for games: God of War was war-like, Doom sent you to Hell, Devastation was devastating, and The Guy Game was… stupid. Wait, what?… Enter stage right SiN: Emergence. I feel I need to go to Confession after playing this game, and I’m not even Catholic. Extravagant Boobies, excessive swearing, …

Harsh Realm

War games matrixified

Welcome grateful readers to a change in my lineup…a TV show. Or rather, ex TV show. That’s right. Change. Who here likes the X-Files? Everyone? Good. Then you will love this show. Yeah, it’s not the X-Files, but it is along the same lines. I rather equate this show to X-Files meats the matrix. It’s frickin’ awesome. I am willing to bet though that all 1.4 of my loyal readers neither watched this show when it was …

The Matrix Revolutions

“Huh?”

All right, Wachowski brothers, here’s your motivation: You took one of the most original movies and brutally murdered it with the sequel, it’s the final installment, fix it. Yeah, that happened. Honestly, I loved the original Matrix, and if you’ve read my review on Reloaded you know how I felt about that one. This movie, however, fell somewhere in the middle. Still, its shortcomings were more than obvious and I felt like the brothers still missed the mark. But it definitely was an improvement from …

The Matrix Reloaded

Kinda wish I could go back in time and slap the Wachowskis before they started making this one

Wachowski brothers, what the hell happened? You went from one of the coolest and most original movies in many years to creating this drivel. What the hell? Anyway, let’s get this going right. I loved the original Matrix. And there were parts in this movie that weren’t terrible, I really felt like the Wachowski brothers kind of lost their way with this flick. I heard this movie …

The Matrix

Who actually needs a review to convince them to see “The Matrix?”

I freakin’ love this damn movie. It’s creative, original, and well created. The Wachowski brothers hit the mark in every possible way here, from the fantastic and beautifully crafted special effects to the incredibly original plot and story line. This Sci-fi/Action flick in my opinions redefines the lines of both genres. There’s really not enough I can say about the amazing originality of this movie, I just love the idea of waking up in …

The Matrix Online

I wish I could find a good MMO

So I was looking for a distraction from school this one time and thought to myself, “Hey, an MMO would be nice!” Thus the search began to find a MMO that I could actually get into and wouldn’t abandon my characters after a month or so. What I found, however, was The Matrix Online.

I started actually playing this game during beta testing and thoroughly enjoyed it. What made it so fun was not necessarily the gameplay–it was more the community. …

Mirrormask

A modern generation’s version of Labyrinth, now with fewer David Bowie.

Remember that time you did acid in your best friends basement and watched that one circus movie? Yeah, me neither. But if you could remember that experience without slipping just a little closer to madness, this movie would kind of remind you of that. I really can sum up this movie in just two words: drug trip. But nonetheless, it was a truly interesting and captivating movie. Even with the strange creatures and the alternate …
