Gee, didn’t see this one coming.

‘Echo’ Review: Not Alone

4.0
out of 5
Echo is unlike anything I have ever played. From the opening title screen, a close up of an unblinking eye, I knew this game would be different. It quite literally took me a good 10 seconds to even realize it was a menu. Once I moved my joystick and the eye moved, it dawned on me. The eyeball moves to the menu options when moved far enough in any direction. Creepy and beautiful best describes it; in fact those two…  Read More

In many ways, Star Wars: The Last Jedi has more to prove than The Force Awakens ever did.

But that introduction served its purpose by giving fans Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Issacs), and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), and firmly…  Read More

‘The Disaster Artist’ Review: From Trash To Treasure

The Disaster Artist Review

I'm not one of those people who love Tommy Wiseau's The Room. It's an awful movie, that was made in all seriousness, and it's terribleness is why it is so popular. This turd of a film has gained a cult following, but it's hard to watch sober, as absolutely nothing works and it's so bad, it very quickly becomes annoying. The one saving grace from The Room is that it inspired James Franco to make a film, aptly named The…  Read More

‘Darkest Hour’ Review: A Masterclass In Acting — And History

Darkest Hour Review
4.2
out of 5
It's easy to begin any discussion about Joe Wright's new movie, Darkest Hour, by discussing its star, Gary Oldman. The only problem is Gary Oldman is nowhere to be seen in this film. The wonderful actor completely dissolves into the role of Winston Churchill, and in so doing turns in one of the very best performances of the year and one of his best in his long and storied career. Darkest Hour tells the story of Winston Churchill's rise to…  Read More
