A Bad Moms Christmas Review

There is something truly smart in the opening of “A Bad Moms Christmas,” the sequel to 2016’s “Bad Moms.” As Mila Kunis’ Amy explains it – Christmas is an incredibly hard time of the year to be a mom. There is a pressure to make everything perfect, to do everything in the right way. As […]

The Reunion (2011)

Every so often a friend says “Hey Savior, watch this movie” and we got a 50/50 ratio. Sometimes its a good movie, sometimes its them screwing with me and making me watch a crap movie.

Now first you are going to have to get over the fact that John Cena is in the movie. Waiting…waiting…Yea you either love him or hate him basically. Anyway the story here is a group of dysfunctional brothers and a sister meet up after their father dies to split up a boat load of cash. Around 3 million each.

But of course there is a catch. They have to work in a family business together for 2 years. But before they get started they will rescue a very rich business man with a very large reward for saving him.

The movie will have a few laughs and is pretty well done,and while not perfect isn’t as bad as one would think for having a wrestler as the star attraction. I can’t say its for everyone but most people will find something to like. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

arkham asylum book

So to start off, yes this is the book that inspired the epic Arkham video games. If you’ve played the game as a fun fact, the Amadeus Arkham recordings from the game came from the book. Both are extremely good but the differences are pretty heavy, outside the fact one is a video game and one is a graphic novel.

So the graphic novel follows a night where Batman is called by Commissioner Gordon for a special problem: Joker is holding the orderlies of Arkham Asylum hostage and says the only person he will deliver demands to is the Batman. Against Gordon’s wishes, Batman ventures in, getting caught in Joker’s game. Game is simple, Batman has to survive a one night long game of hide and seek inside the asylum with the inmates loose, wanting a piece of the Caped Crusader that locked them away. As this story is being told, we recount the eerie, Poe like story of how the asylum’s founder Amadeus Arkham lost his mind and became twisted.

The game has a different touch to the plot. Batman captures Joker one night, taking him to the asylum, weary of how easy it was. Turns out Joker used Batman to get access to the asylum, where he has been having a new permutation of Bane’s serum Venom to be created, making goons into raging beasts. Alone it’s up to Batman to face the horde of crazed inmates, armed thugs, and villains and stop Joker from unleashing Titan on Gotham.

Either way you look at it, Arkham Asylum is an amazing story. The book is written extremely well by one of my favorite writers, Grant Morrison and the illustrations are freaky as hell and abstract. The book does well to draw tension. The game is one of the best games I’ve ever played with great graphics, addictive combat, and great returning voice performances by Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, arguably the definitive Batman and Joker.There are very tense, eerie moments in the game and Scarecrow’s part scared the hell out of me first time I played it. Overall, I highly recommend giving either or a read or play through. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

November Free PS4 Games

The PlayStation 4 Free games have finally been revealed. The first is worms battleground.

I haven’t played this one, but the older games were fun and simplistic. Simply move your worms use some odd but fun weapons to kill the enemy worms. I am looking forward to trying this one.

Next up is bound. Honestly I know nothing about this but graphically it looks interesting.

I have also included a link below to see the PlayStation VR and PS3 titles.

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon, Which to Buy

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon director Kazumasa Iwao of Game Freak recently spoke with GameSpot about the idea behind these latest games and why his team decided to make two versions: “This time around there are differences in the story between the two versions that lead us to a split,” Iwao said. “But one particularly […]

Home Sweet Hell

This freaking movie was in both the horror and comedy section. It is not a horror movie. It is a pretty good movie,but not a horror movie.

That being said a guy with the last name of a high class alcohol has a wife is way hotter than he could ever get cheats on her with a woman that may actually be even more hot. Now I can’t really blame him. This chick is INSANE. Like sex is scheduled in advanced and can in no way be changed. She controls pretty much every aspect of his life.

Of course this goes well for awhile until inevitably out of his league but slightly less crazy woman number 2 decides she wants money or she is telling his wife.

Now I am going to stop here, because believe it or not that is simply where the story gets started. The rest is full of drugs, murder, and intrigue. While not quite a horror movie and really isn’t truly funny the movie itself is pretty solid. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Haunting in Cawdor

Normally I watch a movie, tell you guys a bit about it and tell you what I think. This time I thought maybe the fault is with me. I must have missed something. So I looked up a short synopsis. Nope I understood the movie. But I figured I don’t want to lie or steer you guys wrong. Maybe I am just wrong here. You guys may be starting to trust me. So I looked up a few other reviews. Nope. Pretty universal. This movie sucks. Its shit. Don’t watch it. Here is a quick run down anyway.

Bunch of criminals score enough good faith points to get sent to a special camp rehabilitate. Mostly petty stuff mind you, DUI , drugs. Mostly kids that became adults. 1 however was a victim of abuse and killed someone. Enter Camp Cawdor. Part of the rehab is to put on a play, Shakespeare this time. 90 days of working at the camp 20 miles from anywhere, working on the play then performing for the nearest town.

After finding a tape our main woman Vivian finds an old VHS tape. (I’ve provided an image for the young kids.)

The tape appears to show someone being murdered. What follows is a weird tale of betrayal, possibly inappropriate relationships, stolen drugs and broken hearts.

The movie sucked tho. The acting wasn’t bad, and the start of the movie was pretty enjoyable. But after over an hour of being extremely slow it finally starts to pick up but when it does you won’t care. The plot twist isn’t good the murder isn’t scary or even clever and worst of all the ending feels forced. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Freddy Vs Jason (Jason’s side)

freddy vs jason

So, I know I’m skipping ahead a bit but me and Savior decided to join sides and debate who really hand the upper hand, Elm street’s #1 Christmas fan or Crystal Lake’s mascot. So Savior covered Freddy’s side, so I’m going to cover things through Jason’s perspective.

So sleeping peacefully, minding his own business, he gets woken up by his mom telling him to go to Elm Street because kids are off drinkin, smokin, and screwin like usaul. So Jason wakes up grouchy and walks all the way to Elm Street to go teach the kids of 1428 Elm about the dangers of alcohol and premarital sex…with his machete. He taught a couple of those pesky kids good but than the cops came, worried about some hoodlum named Fred Kruger. Jason, being a morally upstanding citizen, kept a chopping, finding his way to a rave the kids were throwing in a cornfield. And they didn’t invite him, which was rude. So he went to the rave anyway, because obviously the postal service lost his invitation in the mail, and oh what a ball he had with the youth of Springwood. Good times were had by all but the same group his mom wanted him to talk to ran away again, for some reason to the local psycheward. Jason met a few more of them there but one strange young man put him to sleep and there was his mom…but not quite. It was that dastardly villain Freddy the good people of Springwood were afraid. Jason couldn’t leave Springwood at the hands of this madman so he faced the rude burn victim and kicked his ass a bit. But Freddy’s dream magic sent him back to the crummy day he drowned. But those nice kids woke him up with Freddy in his old stomping grounds none the less. After a epic but bloody battle Jason triumphed, leaving the lake with Freddy’s head in hand…

Happy Halloween and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Freddie vs Jason, The Freddie side.

As kids there were plenty of arguments. Who would win? Freddie or Jason Voorhees? Obviously we would never know. Why would they even fight in the first place? One slaughters campers at Crystal lake mostly and the other, people over on Elm street. It didn’t even make sense. People just wanted it in the 80’s and 90’s. But then the 2000’s came.

Four years after his daughter kills him Freddie is in his own personal hell, both literally and figuratively. Meanwhile the town of Springwood has erased the memory of Freddie and all traces of his existence. The fear that fuels the nightmare machine is gone. Freddie is gone. Nothing can bring him back.

Freddie however has one last plan. If his children aren’t afraid of him he is powerless to do anything. But there is a sleeping man, a sleeping monster that can change it all. The plan is simple. That plan is Jason Voorhees.

Send the sleeping Jason to Springwood, make them afraid. Rise from the ashes and return to his former glory. There is just one small flaw that the master of dreams didn’t consider. Jason won’t kill just one or two of Freddie’s children. He will kill them all. And Freddie can’t allow that.

Join Torsten later for the Jason half of the review and our take on who won the fight if anyone. Best wishes and may the gaming gods being you a glorious Halloween.

Jason goes to Hell: the Final Friday

friday9

Spoiler alert, this isn’t the last Jason movie either. Jason goes to hell is New Line’s first foray in the Jason franchise and arguably the strangest.

It begins with our typical Jason movie setup; hot naked chick undressing at Crystal Lake and of course Jason shows up We get the standard chase until we find out it’s really a set up; Jason gets mowed down by the most brutal gunning down I’ve seen since Predator, and Jason gets blown to pieces. End of story right? Well, no. Jason’s spirit starts possessing people and continues on his usual murder spree on this time hunting down the last Voorhees who can actually send him to hell and finish his ass.

Honestly, this doesn’t feel like a Jason movie. There’s a lot of spirit talk in this one and I can’t really buy much of what comes out the story of this movie. Most Jason fans I know like this movie but it just wasn’t for me. The kills are fine but nothing special. I don’t like Jason’s design in this, for the very little we do see of him. My favorite part of it was the ending before credits where Freddy grabs Jason’s mask and pulls it under. Other than that, it’s just kinda there to me. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
