COD Zombies – Shadows of Evil Review

With every new year comes a new Call of Duty. It has joined Death and Taxes on the list of inevitabilities. Thankfully, Black Ops 3 once again gives us the pleasure of blasting the heads off of shambling corpses. I’ll be honest, it’s the main reason I bought the game. Ever since they were introduced back in World at War, I have been an avid zombie hunter. This year, they changed it up a bit -although it does borrow some mechanics from older maps. Previous games have had well known faces and voices in your control as you take on the hordes of undead, and this one is no different. We get Neal McDonough (Arrow, Minority Report), Heather Graham (Boogie Nights, The Hangover), Ron Pearlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy), and my personal favourite – Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park). All based in a 40’s era noir-esque map accompanied by some catchy jazz riffs. However, even with others boasting awesome

Just Say No To George Lucas (Episode II)

Prequels It’s tempting to leave the brilliant Mr. Plinkett Star Wars prequel reviews to suffice for this post. I think they should be used in film classes everywhere. Red Letter Media’s brilliant look at what went wrong with the franchise is without equal and perfectly nails everything wrong with three installments that scarred memories and almost derailed a franchise. The critiques are raunchy and in terrible taste but they are also funny as hell and exquisite. See all of them HERE There are multiple parts for each film, but every single one of them is worth it. Watching the Plinkett critiques was far more entertaining than watching the actual films. &list=PL5919C8DE6F720A2D#action=share To someone who’s under the age of 20 and says his his least favorite film in the series is the Empire Strikes Back because “it was the most boringest one,” can I suggest you shut this review off right now before I carefully explain how much of a fucking

Norman Reedus Still Wants Silent Hills

There were very few smiles the day Silent Hills was stricken from Konami’s roster. In fact I feel bad for even bringing it up. But not for good reason! There’s a silver lining to this tale of woe. It might not be a “HOLY SHIT GUYS THEY ARE MAKING IT!” silver lining, but it’s good to hear nonetheless. Norman Reedus has recently stated that he is still totally down for the game to be made. Even though Konami has axed the project, Reedus has faith that Del Toro, Kojima will still be able to collaborate in the future on another project. I mean, with petitions going around the web since the announcement of the cancellation reaching thousands signatures, someone is bound to jump on to complete this project and get it done. Del Toro also gave his two cents on why he thinks it would have been a great experience for gamers. Word is, they were trying something new when

“All of the darkness looks alive.” A Review Rodney Ascher’s “The Nightmare” Documentary.

While the idea of watching a documentary about sleep paralysis doesn’t seem that thrilling, Rodney Ascher has the ability to capture each sufferers moment of horror and somehow bring it to life for the viewer in his newest film,“The Nightmare.” Now, horror documentaries have a tendency to turn into mocumentaries, often spoofing classic horror films, however, this is not the case. “The Nightmare,” concentrates on 8 separate individuals, men and woman from all walks of life, all across the globe, who suffer from similar episodes of phenomenon known as sleep paralysis. While most modern day horror films are pure movie magic, these are REAL subjects, these are their REAL lives, REAL encounters, REAL experiences. Each interviewee shares multiple episodes throughout the film and while the victim is sharing their story, the film cuts back and forth to reenactments. These reenactments themselves are terrifying, and it is very clear form the first episode that Ascher does not want you to feel

A review of Terror Films “Trace”

Terror Films presents “Trace,” a supernatural thriller that follows a group of friends experimenting with a specific type of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). After trying to make contact with a sprite at a party, the friends get a lot more than they bargained for… Soon the friends realize that they have opened a door to a realm that the living were never meant to see. Now, they are in a race against time to destroy the transmission in order to save themselves and prevent a demon from entering our world. ‘Trace” stars Nick Fink, August Roads, Jesse Pepe, Samantha Lee, Maddie McGuire, Jerod Meagher, Jeremiah Benjamin, Mike Capozzi and Herion Mustafaraj, and the cast is great! From the first time we see the large group of friends, we instantly get a sense of who these characters are simply by their “look” and attitude. With that said, the main cast is so large, it was sometimes confusing at times to concentrate

A DOOM-ed Reboot

It’s not actually doomed. I just really, really wanted to make that pun. In fact, it’s quite the opposite of doomed. After years of silence and turmoil about the game, it has finally started to poke it’s head out of the ground. All thanks to Bethesda Softworks for jumping in to publish it. A trailer was released at this years E3, and while no official release date has been set, we should see it within the first half of 2016. It’s still definitely a Doom game, complete with hellspawn, devastating weaponry and oodles of buckets of blood. And with today’s tech, we get badder hellspawn, bigger weapons and that satisfying sound of blood spatter drenching the walls of the UAC facilities. Those of you that have played Doom since the beginning will be glad to hear they are moving forward with a more fast paced shooting game, much like the original. Where Doom3 had us hiding around corners, looking out

Is George Lucas THE PHANTOM MENACE? EPISODE I

You Won’t Have George Lucas To Kick Around Anymore George Lucas has been kicked around for the facial he gave us with the Star Wars prequels. While he’s taken a new drubbing in the media (Mostly as to why he’s not directing new Star Wars films/not asked to), it all adds to the hype for the upcoming Episode VII, but take a look: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/13/george-lucas-star-wars-episode-vii_n_6462960.html https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/why-george-lucas-wont-direct-841972 https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/13/george-lucas-star-wars-episode-vii_n_6462960.html https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/star-wars/news/a442537/george-lucas-i-wont-have-much-involvement-in-star-wars-7/ Before I go into the Cynema aspect of Lucasfilm, I want to ask all of the film fan experts how are YOUR movies are doing? You know the ones you don’t write? Don’t direct? Don’t produce? Let me be more specific: the ones in your heads, on your hard drives or in the reams of your unpublished fan fiction? Right. “Fans” have done more to ruin the enjoyment of the Star Wars franchise than George Lucas. Their rabid love for fantasy product has taken what was once a fun, cinematic experience and turned

Alien: Isolation – A Review

They say in space, no one can hear you scream. Which is most definitely true. However, the same cannot be said for here on Earth. Thanks to this game, I’m pretty sure my neighbours suspect I either scream like a girl, or have one tied up in my murder room. I’ve played quite a few horror games in my day, but few succeed in keeping up the novelty of the scares until the end. Alien: Isolation manages to make this limited list. Developed by Creative Assembly, Isolation takes place 15 years after the original Alien movie, you play as Amanda Ripley – daughter of the iconic Ellen Ripley – as she searches for answers to her mother’s disappearance. Her chance arises when she learns the flight recorder of the Nostromo has been discovered and the ship that found it is currently resting at the space station Sevastopol. So off you go to find some answers about the fate of your
