Review: Frankenstien’s Army

In a time of movie oversaturation, it’s tough to stand out in a crowd, especially when it comes to the horror genre. These days films are judged by their budgets instead of the creativity put into them. That means films like Frankenstien’s Army unfortunately fly below most people’s radar. That’ll be too bad for them,

Movie Issues: Riddick

Riddick fans rejoice! The long awaited but unlikely anticipated sequel to the Riddick franchise has come to the big screen. Championed by its star Vin Diesel, who’s been rumoring it’s slow progress for the nearly 10 years since he last portrayed the space badass in Chronicles of Riddick, this sci-fi action flick delivers exactly what

[Review] Game Dev Tycoon

As a simulation of the gaming industry that places you in the driver’s seat of a studio making games, Game Dev Tycoon is meta to the point of textbook definition, but its execution is infectiously charming.

Movie Issues: The World’s End

With all good things there is always an end. With that, The Cornetto Trilogy has reached its end. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, along with director Edgar Wright, the geniuses that brought their genera filled adventures starting with 2004’s horror inspired Shaun of the Dead, seconded by the 2007 action themed Hot Fuzz, finish off with

Movie Issues: You’re Next

Trailers can be the worst thing to happen to a movie. In 1:30 minutes, a lasting impressing needs to be made that leaves the audience wanting more. You’re Next is currently suffering from this problem, as its trailers make it look more like a rip off of The Strangers than the incredible experience that it is.

Movie Issues: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
