London Has Fallen Review: A Mediocre Action Thriller With Grander Asperations
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] London Has Fallen is a film that thinks a great deal of itself It probably had a somewhat swelled sense of it's self-importance after the moderate box-office success of it's predecessor, Olympus Has Fallen It's kind of like someone who got first in a small town track and field event and thought they were[...]
Superhot Review: It's Just That
So, there is an alternative review floating around here, that is equally as representative as my written stuff here Simpler, for sure, but it equally conveys my feelings while also showing how effective the idea of the fiction is. I hope I can convey to you, why I actually decided to do the review quite like[...]
Risen Review: The Resurrection Of Jesus As A CSI Episode
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] No, the title of the article isn't a hook, it's actually the premise of Risen, and the weirdest thing? It's not all that weird and it actually rather works Directed and co-written by Kevin Reynolds (the same fellow that directed Tristan + Isolde and Count of Monte Cristo).  There's plenty of films inspired by[...]
The Witch Review: A Wonderfully Crafted Puritan-Era Horror
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The Witch (or the VVitch as it's labeled on the movie posters, in an homage to early 17th century printers who would use two Vs next to each other rather than a capital W), is a stark, haunting period piece set in 1630's New England For this to be a debut feature film by Robert[...]
Deadpool
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] It's been far too long since Fox put out a Marvel-based character property that wasn't painful to watch It was 2011's X-Men: First Class that was the breath of fresh air (and hope) on to the mutant family of films, but now the long holding of breath for the next non-stinker is finally here[...]
Zoolander 2: The Slow Murder Of A Memorable Original
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] When Zoolander first hit the big screen back in 2001, it was a genuinely funny film It wasn't trying too hard, it was somewhat fresh with a satirical send-of of the fashion industry and specifically at the stereotypical perception that male high-fashion models are dumb as bricks Cut forward 15 years and we're diving[...]
An American English Lit Teacher Reviews Pride And Prejudice And Zombies
Cloud, Igby Goes Down) gives his audience exactly what the title advertises: a PG-13 mashup of Austen's novel and TV's Walking Dead, but with a lot less gore than one would expect.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Review: The Mashup Award Of The Year
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Hollywood is frequently criticized about it's never-ending recycling of novels and films without adding a drop of anything approaching inspired creativity It's the same story time after time, with only new faces speaking the same lines; Jane Austin's classic 1813 novel, Pride and Prejudice has been adapted for the screen no less than a[...]
Oxenfree Review – Teenage Dream
The final points of the game got a little lost and that is a real shame.

The Forest Review: Definitely Neither Scary, Interesting, Nor Entertaining
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I am one of the easiest lays in the world for thriller and horror films They can be high or low brow They can be big budget or something made off a student's camcorder If the story is gripping and the acting solid (or at least heartfelt), I'm in I don't even need modern[...]

SOMA Review – Are We Human, Or Are We Cancer?
[This review explores a few themes that some might consider minor spoilers] I've long pondered the concept of downloading consciousness, and preserving it within a digital space It's a huge idea, but one that makes sense provided that 'souls' can be transferred into downloadable data It could be a way for a scientific afterlife to live,[...]
Mad Max Review – This Engine Roars Impressively But Needs More Bite
I've heard reports that other ports of the game are stable, particularily the PC version, so I didn't make note of it in the review Having said that, I thought it was worth a heads up.] Mad Max is a 'ferocious' series That word perfectly encapsulates the franchise's focus on a hostile wasteland, punk styling[...]
