My Top 8 Video Game RPGs

When I found out that this is considered JRPGJuly, I knew that I had to do this Top 8 post, though I’m just considering RPGs as a whole, not the subset of JRPGs. The definition of an RPG varies from person to person. In the very broadest sense, Super Mario Brothers could be considered an RPG (you are playing...

Just Another Movie Review – Deliver Us From Evil

Deliver Us From Evil repeats - less successfully – the beats of many possession movies that have preceded it. But that’s not what I really want to talk about. Director Scott Derrickson has proven himself capable of effective scares before, particularly with 2012′s disturbingly grisly Sinister, and Deliver Us would certainly have been better if it had...

In that day and age, they weren’t locked away behind glass cases, so we could pick up the cases and look them over. Between us, we had about $25 or so and noticed...

2014 Emmy Nominations Preview – What If There Were a Sketch/Alternative Category?

Recently, Comedy Bang! Bang! creator Scott Aukerman penned an op-ed directed to the TV Academy asking for the potential creation of a new Emmy category. As it stands now, the Outstanding Variety Series is a catch-all that includes late night talk shows, sketch series, and most other breeds of comedy programs that do not fit in the Comedy...

Movie Review: Deliver Us From Evil (2014)
