So a trailer has been released for an upcoming video game known as Dead Island. The trailer in question is considered controversial, and the gaming press (and public) seem to be handing out lavish praise to it.
But I feel my thoughts on the trailer can be summed up in one simple word: Pathetic. Read more
The Oscars are a joke. That much has been clear for as long as I can remember. Animated films are treated as kiddy sideshows, timeless classics go ignored, pretentiousness is rewarded, and a bunch of movies no one remembers in two years steal all the awards from impossibly more deserving movies.
I have actually decided to stop watching this idiotic, political circus known as the Academy Awards (I may write a more in-depth blog as to why if I find the time between the other stuff I’m writing), but here I will list 30 reasons why these Oscars alone are simply not worth watching.
Keep in mind that they are just written from the top of my head, but are numbered for the sheer sake of helping me keep track of everything.
So enjoy 30 things that are horribly wrong with this year’s Oscars!

*For those who haven’t seen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull yet but wish to, the following blog contains spoilers. So be careful.*
The other day, I watched one of the first movies I ever reviewed on this website, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Now I, unlike a lot of people, actually enjoyed this movie. I’ll admit there are some aspects that are a little…not up to the series’ standards, but I have always defended the movie against those who act like it’s some kind of cinematic abomination.
As I’m sure you know already from Disney’s heavy marketing campaign, but the sequel to their 1981 cult hit, Tron, will be heading to theaters this December. I am greatly anticipating its impending release, and it’s probably the only CGI heavy movie on the horizon that I can say that about. Read more
It’s been a few months since Donkey Kong Country Returns was first announced, and since that time there has been some great new information on this sure-to-be-amazing game. But as always, it seems, there are plenty of annoying fanboys who already seek to jump up and down on the game. Read more
