Let’s Play Mass Effect 3: Part 33 – Picking up the Pieces
This time we deal with some of the aftermath of the attack on the Citadel.
Film Review: King Kong (1933)
King Kong is a film that is widely held as a classic of cinema – with some of the iconic monster photography in cinema. It is a film whose visual effects have held up very, very well, but narratively hasn’t held up quite as much.
Film Review: Squirm
You know the old joke of Slasher films having “30 minutes with jerks”. This film is more like “90 minutes with jerks”. Continue reading
This time we take back the Citadel from Cerebus, contend with a traitor, and have our first meeting with Kai Leng.
This week I’m giving my (belated) thoughts on Kumoricon 2016, along with brief thoughts on Eva 3.0, and my thoughts on seeing Akira on the big screen for the first time. Continue reading
This time we team up with another old Krogan buddy to investigate some missing Krogan scouts, and signs of the Rachnai.
Film Review: The Fall of House of Usher (1960)
Arguably, the best films of Roger Corman’s career were his adaptations of the works of Edgar Allen Poe he made with AIP. They had some of the highest on-screen production values of the films he directed, and had some of the finest actors he ever worked with – especially this film’s stand out star, Vincent Price. Continue reading
Film Review: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
It’s interesting having viewed the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers after I’ve seen the remake. It’s interesting to see how many beats the remake cribbed from the original, but which executes on them so very differently, with a different emotional payoff. Continue reading
This time we take down a Cerebus air defence installation.
Legends of the Force: Episode II – Marvel Star Wars Part 1, Blows Against The Empire
This time we’re continuing with Legends of the Force with a look at the first third of Marvel’s initial take on Star Wars – how it came to be, who wrote it, and the stories that were told. Continue reading
This time we take a moment to chat with the crew, particularly our party members, and see the state of the party.
Film Review: Death Valley (1982)
What’s worse than a horror film that’s bad? A horror film that’s bad because it’s boring and annoying. This is the issue with Death Valley, a slasher film with an interesting concept, that fails in the execution in multiple respects. Continue reading
Film Review: Phase IV
Phase IV is an underrated, very weird film – the only dramatic film directed by Saul Bass, who is best known as designing the movie posters and opening credits sequences for the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Continue reading
Cerebus has seized a colony world, and is murdering the populace, so we move in for a rescue op.
I saw Doctor Strange last weekend, and video recorded myself talking about it! There are some minor spoilers towards the very end of the video.
This time we cure the Genophage.
Film Review: Dark Angel (1990)
Dark Angel (originally released as I Come in Peace in the US) is the film I wish Predator 2 was. Continue reading
Film Review: Mr. Vampire (1980)
Jackie Chan, as a performer, is frequently compared with Buster Keaton and, as I’ve mentioned in my own review of Police Story at Letterboxd, Charlie Chaplin.
Well, Mr. Vampire, a martial arts horror-comedy film produced by Jackie Chan’s friend and fellow member of the Five Little Fortunes, is what I’d probably describe as the Hong Kong equivalent of the Abbott and Costello Meet… movies. Continue reading
This time we’re helping complete the Turian scout mission (and referencing one of the oldest memes on the internet).
This week I have a video of my pickups from Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2016, with an unboxing of Hyperkin’s Gen6 Controller. Continue reading
Cerberus troops have taken over a ground-based orbital defense platform on Tuchanka, and we’re taking it back.
