Movie Issues: The Conjuring

The Conjuring is the dramatization of a little-known account from the 1970s case files of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson). Director James Wan (Saw and Insidious) pulls out all the stops in this very sophisticated supernatural horror film. The movie is laced with all the right amount of creaky

Review: Deadpool – PS3

There are plenty of video game studios out there, but there are very few that “get it.” High Moon Studios on the other hand has more than proven their Geek cred, especially after the Transformers game franchise.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one already: the White House is under attack and the President is the target of a terrorist master plan. Only one unlikely man can save him… sound familiar? It’s not uncommon once in a while for a few movies to be released with astoundingly similar plots. Remember Dante’s Peak

[Review] Much Ado About Nothing

After the bigger-than-life superheroes of Avengers, the vampires of Buffy, and the spaceships of Firefly, it’s definitely a head-trip to watch a Joss Whedon movie about a 400 year old play. But it’s a good head-trip, one that you need to go experience. Yes, I know it’s Shakespeare. You’ll like it. And you’ll understand it, I promise.
