What do you expect to see when you see a DVD box like the one above? A decent horror film? A cheesy, yet enjoyable, film? Perhaps a diamond in the rough. Well let’s take a look at Mr. Jingles and see.

When I first saw the trailer for Taken I was unsure of how the film would be. I ended up waiting til it came out on DVD. After seeing it I forgot to do a short review of it. But since I have just finished rewatching it I thought now would be a pretty good time to do one.

This movie is unlike any other version of Sherlock Holmes ever made. It’s a wild ride of action, drama and comedy weaved together to create a pretty cool movie.

Many of us grew up with Disney movies and it is very likely that our first exposure to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was the 1951 animated Disney film. In this film Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole and enters a bad acid trip she calls Wonderland. The entire film follows Alice as she meets a bunch of nonsensical and insane characters along her journey. Eventually she wakes up and the movie leaves you wondering if it was real or just a dream.

59 years later Tim Burton decides to create a sequel to that and thus Alice in Wonderland is born and released. But how does it hold up?

I originally saw Saw VI in theaters and again just a few nights ago on DVD. I forgot to write a review when I saw it in theaters, so let me fix that now..

As far as the Saw movies go, 6 is a great addition to the series and a much-needed face lift after the last one. This movie had a lot of decent twists, tries to wrap the series up (though it does leave a few plot threads open, since they are working on a 7th), and of course has quite a bit of gore with the traps.

Like rhythm games that are played using plastic instruments? Then you might like this. This is Frets on Fire, a free, open-source rhythm game where you can play pretty much any song ever made (if you can find it/make it). Did I mention it’s FREE? It’s basically a Rock Band/Guitar Hero clone. But how does it REALLY hold up to the masters of plastic instrument rhythm games?

This game is amazing. So much, in fact, that I thought I should post my own little review here.

For those who don’t know, Vampire the Masquerade was a vampire paper-and-pen RPG by Whitewolf. It was recently replaced with a new system called Vampire: the Requiem. Anyway, VtM was around for ages (probably not as long as D&D, but close). It’s set in modern day and basically there’s 7 vampire clans who have to adhere to certain rules. This game takes that and makes an RPG that might rival Knights of the Old Republic in size and quality.

This review is an old one from a long time ago but I was playing through DQ8 again(for the first time in a very long time) and was just reminded of how great it was. So I felt it necessary to paste it here again with a few new tidbits of info.

Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, later renamed to just Punch Out, and Super Punch out were some of the most memorable games on the NES and SNES respectively. They had quirky characters and were quite challenging, with each fighter having their own strategy to take them down. But how does the newly released Punch Out for the Wii hold up? Let’s take a look.
