  • Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

    Watching Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory today (apparently pogle has several of the songs stuck in his head today). Even better than I remember. I probably haven’t seen the film for a decade or so. I love that science teacher! Class dismissed! Veruca Salt is hilarious. A demon child to haunt the dreams of…

  • Limbo (Xbox Arcade)

    Limbo Xbox 360 (Arcade) Story Rating: 2/5 Environment Rating: 5/5 Game Play Rating: Thumb Buster Review: Dark and innovative, Limbo is a very unique game. There is no dialogue, written or heard, throughout the entire game. Instead, you wake up in a dark wood and must find your way as best as you can with…

  • Back to the Future I & II

I was pleasantly surprised when, while watching Back to the Future, I could not stop laughing. Being older now, I…

  • Toy Story 3

    Once again, Pixar has managed to amaze me (and make me cry). Somehow they have made each Toy Story be as good as, and in this case better than, the last. An enjoyable film geared more towards an adult audience simply because children, while they’ll enjoy the action, will not have yet experienced the bittersweetness…

  • How to Train Your Dragon & 9

    How to Train Your Dragon Excellent movie. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the original books, but from what I remember the movie definitely followed at least the spirit of the books. I love how natural Toothless appears: you can definitely tell that they studied animals to get his movements down (he reminded…

  • Red: Werewolf Hunter

    Not really a review, more a collection of thoughts of the film. Hobo werewolf evangelist Go Jake! Glittery hand of doom! SyFy does to SF films what Hallmark does to Drama films Someone please send out a Jurisfiction agent to fix all of the plot holes. Conclusion: Not bad for SyFy. The plot was too…

  • Mini-Movie Review: 30 Days of Night

    Haven’t done a movie review for awhile, so what the heck, have at ye. 30 Days of Night Overall I rather enjoyed this film, although I was so wound up from all the slaughtering that I trembled through most of the movie. In case you didn’t get the hint, there’s a lot of blood. Pretty…
