Sanctum 2 Game Review

An amalgam of first-person gunplay and tower defense strategy Sanctum 2 is different from the previous series of games. Tower defense as a genre has been hyped and gained a lot of popularity in the recent times. The main motive of the game is to deliver something epic and memorable. ...

Admission (2013) Movie Review

At a time when studio comedies are driven primarily by the hook (“They’re rival a cappella groups!”) or the gag (“Fattie fall down!”), there’s something to be said for the admirable few filmmakers who still try to instill their laughers with an innately humane approach in the vein of Hal Ashby and Elaine May, directors like Alexander Payne and the Weitz brothers, Paul and Chris... ...

Ken Scott's French-Canadian comedy follows a prolifically successful sperm donor as he surreptitiously meets his now-grown children.

Bullet to the Head Review

Maybe it only seems like Walter Hill and Sylvester Stallone worked together before "Bullet to the Head." After all, the director and the iconic action star sound like an ideal pairing, and nothing here will dissuade fans of their suitability as a team. Stallone may tinker with everything on his outside, but (who'd a thought?) it's the inside that counts, and by now, playing a tough hitman with a strong iron ...

Review: DmC: Devil May Cry

Review by Joystiq [4.5/5] There is a fine, bleached line between "trying too hard" and "confident in your own skin." The two descriptors can look disturbingly similar: Some people use hair dye, awkward yet fashionable clothing and violent curse words as a mask for their insecurities, while for others these are outward expressions of the very personality quirks that the first group attempts to hide. At first ...

Review: Knife Fight (2013)

Review by NPR Framed for television and photographed in faded panels of astonishing blahness, Knife Fight is a dull political dramedy that ping-pongs between caustic misanthropy and soapy sentiment. Playing like a mashup of tropes from far superior small- and large-screen entertainments (Scandal, House of Lies, Ides of March), this clunky feature from Bill Guttentag is satire at its most soft-bellied and to ...

Review: John Dies at The End (2012)

Review by Roger Movie Nation “John Dies at the End” is a horror-comedy that scores more points for trippiness than it does for truth in title advertising. Before it trips over its own overly complex plot, before the comic leads have exhausted their modestly amusing repertoires, this odd stoner/sci fi creature feature blows out of the gate and threatens — for about thirty minutes — to blow your mind. Then it ...

Review: Mama (2013)

Review by Vulture As a horror enthusiast weaned on the classics of Universal and Hammer as well as far more disreputable producers, I’ve been dismayed at how the genre has gone to the dogs — and the mindless zombies, motiveless poltergeists, and indestructible psycho killers in remakes nobody needs. I’m sick of all the unhappy endings with their nihilist final shots confirming that evil can never be put dow ...

Review: The Last Stand (2013)

Review by Time “I told you I’d be back,” Arnold Schwarzenegger says in the promo that introduces The Last Stand, the Governator’s first starring role since Terminator 3 a decade ago. Never averse to reusing his trademark catchphrases or characters, the 65-year-old slab of Austrian beef returns to the private sector with the very definition of an all-American action film — guns, cars and a sexy hostage — tha ...

Sundance 2013 Movie Reviews: Kill Your Darlings & Don Jon’s Addiction

Kill Your Darlings Review If poetry doesn’t broaden our view of our world and force us to push the boundaries of our lives, then it’s pointless.  Poetry cannot always tap into the chaos and beauty of life if it must be constrained by meter, verse, and rules set down centuries ago.  Poetry, when wielded by genius, can seduce, defend, condemn, and most importantly, transform.  Words are powerful enough to cha ...

Borderlands 2 Game Review

Review by Game Informer (9.75/10) Three years ago, gamers were treated to an ambitious title that appealed to fans of first-person shooters, lootfests, and RPGs alike. Its sequel would have been a step up (and a multi-million seller, assuredly) even if Gearbox only expanded upon the narrative. Instead of taking the easy route, the studio has taken everything that impressed in the original and greatly enhanc ...

Rise of the Guardians Movie Review

Review by Chicago Tribune DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg recently lamented the dearth of holiday-themed movies headed to your multiplex this year. But in foisting "Rise of the Guardians" upon unsuspecting audiences for the holidays, it's clear he just wanted to take some of the pressure off this joyless, soul-dead piffle. "Guardians" is the worst animated movie to ever wear the DreamWorks logo. ...
