The Great Gatsby was one of my favorite books when I was in high school. Along with To Kill a Mockingbird it really made me think about metaphor in story telling for the first time. Both books taught me a lot about society and how people treat each other. And I'd love to see a well done version of The Great Gatsby done with amazing actors with a brilliant and accomplished director behind the camera... but not with stuff like this in it.

One of my first video reviews was for the first Poker Night at the Inventory. I loved it because it felt like hanging out with friends I'd known for years and reminded me of why I loved them. Tycho from Penny Arcade, Max from Sam and Max, Strong Bad from Homestar Runner and The Heavy from Team Fortress two all cracked jokes together, threatened each other and made…

When it was announced years ago that Marvel Comics would team up with the Japanese animation studio Mad House, a lot of fans got very excited. First announced was Iron Man and Wolverine and the two seemed like a perfect fit. Wolverine's past as a modern day samurai warrior fighting against the ninja group known as The Hand and Silver…

About this time last year there was little to no fanfare for Spec Ops: The Line, a third person, cover based shooter that promised to blur the line between Call of Duty and Gears of War. What could have been the rebirth of an incredible franchise slowly died with whimper and just two months later it's developer claimed that it doubts a sequel would ever game made.…

I usually love the DC comics animated movies. I think their version of All Star Superman, if given just a bit more of a budget could have been one of the greatest superman films ever presented in film form and would have been worthy of the big screen. I also think that Superman vs The Elite is better than most with a final act that had me on the edge of my seat as I watched the big blue boyscout feign a murderous rampage. It was a treat. But now comes Superman: Unbound and I'm not quite sure…

Duke Nukem Forever is a game I’d been wanting to play for a long time. A really long time. And now that I’ve played it, I can say this: It’s a whole lot better than I ever would have expected.…

Sadly I missed my chance to see 13 Assassins on the big screen during Fantastic Fest. It was one of my most anticipated films of the festival and it sold out quicker than anything else there. The last Takashi Miike film I saw on the big screen was at the previous Fantastic Fest and that was Yatterman, a…

Black Lighting is one of the most stereotypical super hero films I've ever seen and that's it's biggest fault. I tell you that from the start because it's my key complaint with the film. Black Lighting is an origin story like many you've seen before. It takes entire ideas, sequences and themes from…

Why was this episode a day late? The answer lies inside the episode itself. And in the title. And in the darkest reaches of your soul… Actually, well, it probably won’t be found in the darkest reaches of your soul, at least not until after you listen to it, so in other words: listen to this episode! You will love it. YOU WILL LOVE IT.…
