Movie Review: The Wolverine
When is a super hero movie not a super hero movie? Does the inclusion of characters with strange and supernatural powers automatically consign a film to the increasingly dominant sub-genre mixing the most potent aspects of the science fiction and action categories, or is there wiggle room for a film to defy the tropes of the comic book super hero film as popularized by Marvel and DC in recent years?
The Wolverine evokes those questions despite the comic book origins of its characters and their super human abilities, because at its core it is an action film with a theme that questions the nature of mortality and immortality.

Blu-ray Review: 6 Souls
It might not have been quite what I signed up for, but it was still a pretty good ride by the time I’d reached the end. The plot doesn’t smash you upside the head with the paranormal the way other films in the genre sometimes do. In fact, the paranormal elements really don’t come into full play until almost three quarters of the way through the movie. I’d venture into saying that up until that point, Moore’s character doesn’t even believe them to be occurring (and not in the way some horror films fall prey to, with her disbelieving things that are right in front of her).

Movie Review: World War Z
by Bill Watters, Editor It says a lot about a movie when people suggest to NOT read the book before watching it in the theater as I’ve found more and more people doing with World War Z. I rather wish…
Nintendo 3DS Review: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
The overall story in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask feels true to what has made the Professor Layton games into what they are: A story about people, whether those people are Professor Layton and Luke or the people who are out to stop them or occasionally the people who are simply caught in between. It’s a story about human nature, and how a failing doesn’t mean you’ve failed and doesn’t mean you can’t do better in the future. It’s a story about sometimes not being able to see the big picture and not understanding the potential repercussions of your actions.
