‘Paul’ Movie Review

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are a dynamic duo. The two British comedians have made two of my favorite comedies of the last decade, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.  Their latest project together, Paul, serves as an homage to their love of American pop culture and all things nerd. The film has some good laughs, yet it... Read More »

‘Battlefield Bad Company 2′...

Competition is always healthy. After dominating the realm of multiplayer first person shooters for so many years, DICE’s Battlefield series has been overtaken in recent times by the surging emergence of Call of Duty and its Modern Warfare brand. The firstBad Company was a step in the right direction, offering a substantial multiplayer package whilst also showcasing the Swedish developer’s first attempt... Read More »

‘Borderlands: The Zombie Island...

Zombies, zombies, zombies; they’re everywhere. In our games, our movies, our books; whether they’re the classic slow moving kind, the crazy sprinting kind or even those that aren’t technically zombies, though we all know they really are (you’re not fooling anyone Resi 5). It seems we can’t get enough of the brain-hungry undead, even when they’re becoming about as stale... Read More »

‘Serious Sam: The First...

Are you bored of modern shooters and their emphasis on the latest high-tech weaponry, Middle-Eastern conflicts; the brutality of war and plot twists you can see coming from a mile away? Well,Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter might just be the game for you. There’s no story, no characters to care about and most certainly nothing that could be... Read More »

‘The A-Team’ Review

A-Team’s scatter-shot plot misses the mark of being a good action-comedy. Its comedy is entertaining, and some of its action scenes are decent, but unfortunately its plot is riddled with enough holes that they sink the film. Plot Summary (Spoilers Follow) The film opens in Mexico, where Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith (Liam Neeson) is being held captive. Left for... Read More »

Hot Tub Time Machine Review

Following in the grand tradition of such cinema classics as Snakes on a Plane, Hot Tub Time Machine has a title that leaves nothing to the imagination. This comedy, with a tremendous amount of blue humor and eighties references, succeeds where most outrageous comedies can’t. The movie scored a major coup by having John Cusack, a star of many...

The Ricky Gervais Show, Ep. 1 Review

Ricky Gervais’ new show is all about his comedy podcast that enjoyed an enormous following. Sitting down with his good friend and colleague Stephen Merchant and the absent-minded Karl Pilkington, they basically talk about nothing. The show has a unorganized format because Gervais and Merchant react to the idiotic ramblings of Pilkington. His ideas are random and absurd, but... Read More »

‘How I Met Your Mother’...

Community: ‘Communication...

Drunk calls. If you are a college student, you have most likely been the recipient or instigator of a call to a person of the opposite sex in an inebriated state. People will say their true feelings bluntly, however, there is an understanding that these things won’t be remembered in the morning. Unfortunately, there are times when you leave... Read More »

The Office: The Meeting Review

“The Meeting” aired last night and it was a satisfying return to form for The Office. For the last couple of seasons the show focused more on the personal lives of the workers and less about their actual day-to-day business. There were many hilarious episodes during in recent seasons but I sometimes wondered if the show was living up... Read More »
