Space Jam 2

Unfortunately for many the joke that Jordan is better than Lebron because Lebron never helped the Looney Tunes save the world is about to end. The long since rumored Space James 2 is no longer a rumor, but is a fact. According to Hollywood Reporter James and Ryan Coogler (director of Black Panther) will be setting out to make the world a better place, through basketball. Personally I am hoping for a Jordan cameo of some sort. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Death of Dead Rising 5

Dead-Rising-5-Logo

It was recently reported by Screen Rant that the Vancouver Capcom studio will be closing, and part of that closing will be taking Dead Rising 5 with it. The last iteration was met with mixed reviews and five seemed to have been meant to largely ignore its story. Sadly we now may never know, unless of course this zombie game somehow rises from the dead. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Haunting of Hill House trailer

Normally I’d ask why but it’s been almost 20 years since the god awful remake of a terrifying book and eerie black and white movie. I can say the movie visually looks nice and there is some nice scenery but other than I get a generic feel. I think because the original has been emulated so many times a remake is going to feel like it’s a copy of a copy. Still, it looks meh. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

As above, so below

above below

When it comes to found footage, it’s a real niche genre. There is Paranormal Activity and The Last Exorcism which were at least convincing, and then you have movies like The Devil Inside blew the concept. As Above So Below is one of the later.

We follow a history student named Scarlet as she sets out on a documentary to find the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. Her search leads her to believe the stone under the catacombs under Paris, deep below the City of Lights is a network of winding, endless tunnels and thousands of bones gathered over centuries. It’s believed the tunnels rest between our world and hell, and lies the stone. Would you descend into hell for the key to ultimate wealth?

The concept for this movie is great; the catacombs are a fantastic setting for horror. The rest of the movie is a train wreck. The characters are thinner than tissue paper; the plot is too. I’m still trying to understand how the hell the ending works. Characters face secrets they hid in hellish visions but they haven’t really established the characters enough to care or connections to what we see later so it’s just random. There’s a hell of a lot of shaky cam and jump scare noises- in fact I’d say it’s 90% of the movie. This movie is one of those sad cases of great potential lost in artless trend and I don’t recommend it at all. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Anguish (2015)

download (4)

Anguish is a horror movie that I admittedly thought would be good. The idea was good. A girl named Tess is diagnosed with a personality disorder but things aren’t what they seem. The acting is good and the story honestly is pretty easy to follow, but that is basically where I stopped enjoying the movie. It is just not good. The first hour or so is a whole lot of talking and is mostly meaningless. The last 25 minutes or so is where we finally get into the actual events of what is going on and why but by that time I was so bored I no longer cared.

This review is short admittedly and I won’t spoil the ending for you, but I also don’t suggest seeing it for yourself. I wouldn’t watch this movie again, there are far better movies out there, go watch any of them before you watch this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina trailer

After watching the Riverdale season 3 trailer and being curious as hell, the curiosity tripled after finding out Sabrina was getting her own show again. Well, a weird day it is when Sabrina the teenage witch has a freakier trailer than American Horror Story . I was caught off guard and I’m glad to say it looks pretty cool and I’m willing to give the new creative direction a shot. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Venom rating announced

venom 2018

I’ve been following the Venom movie pretty closely, especially since the rumors began that it was going to be rated R. With the huge successes of Deadpool , Deadpool 2 , and Logan as well as the fact it wasn’t a part of the MCU I imagined it’d be no problem getting a R rating. Well, it’s PG-13 which is pissing off much of the nerd community. I understand, the first thought that comes to mind is the watered down, corny Venom of Spider-man 3 ; another foul taste that comes to mind is the unwise choice of making The Dark Tower PG-13. While the Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises made the absolute most of there PG-13 ratings, I have to admit I’m seriously doubtful now about this movie. I think Tom Hardy will be great, I think the creature effects will be great, but everything else will be played out. I pray I’m wrong, but time will tell. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Supernatural Season 10

download (2)

And here we are at season 10 of Supernatural. Its been a long road so far with a few more seasons to go. This season starts in the aftermath of Deans death and his becoming a demon. Admittedly demon dean is pretty great. The season revolves a lot around curing him and finally getting rid of the Mark of Cain and figuring out the Book of the Damned. This season has some great surprises, and some very sad points.

This season also sets up season 11 amazingly. It is actually one of the strongest endings to a season in a while and I am happy I am basically binge watching these because having to wait for season 11 would have been horrible. While season 10 isn’t perfect it does pack a lot of great lore and back story into it and is quite interesting. Personally I had always wondered how a show like this stayed on for so long, but having seen all 10 seasons and started season 11 I understand now. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Supernatural Season 9

download (4)

Season 9 of Supernatural follows Sam and Dean as they attempt to deal with Metatron and the fall of the angels from Heaven and the continued search for a way to defeat Abbadon. We will find out some lore about histories favorite first murderer, Cain and why he killed Abel. The season is actually very interesting, and meeting Cain proves to be a minor yet very great part of the season. I won’t spoil why for those that haven’t seen it yet but it is worth the wait.

The end of the season also plays out much as you would expect, setting up season 10. As always I won’t be explaining much on that either since that would also spoil quite a bit of things for you. The season focuses very heavily on a war between angels and the struggle Cass has with everything that happened which honestly at times gets a bit annoying. I love Cass but I’d like to see him be a bit less whiny in the future. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Bert Kreischer: Secret Time

download (2)

Many of you may know Bert as the guy on Facebook and YouTube that told the story about having accidentally joined the Russian Mob. This time however, he is getting drunk and telling secrets. He covers various tops from how as a parent he now knows how you can end up dropping your kids off at school while you are drunk to how he ends up giving his wife multiple pairs of pajamas for Christmas.

Honestly this is one of the funniest stand-ups I have seen in a very long time and you would do well to watch this. From start to finish Bert had me laughing, and that is rare these days from a comedian. I whole heartedly recommend this one, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
