I am a Shyamalapologist so take it with a grain of salt, but I loved Unbreakable and, while the discourse in Signs is atrocious, there is like a dozen amazingly directed scenes in that movie.

At least you did not lose to a dead guy!

Nice Faille! I did not get to see much sofar and it's not looking that good ahead. Just a note on Istomin, he was ranked 30ish at his best and if there were such a thing as hardcourt ranking, he would have been a little higher even. It's a guy who, without a doubt, can play some very good...

I remember the magic system in Mage being extremely open ended and as such good players and a good storyteller were needed for it to work. That seems like something very difficult to do properly in a video game, so you are left with something that strays away from the main interest of the system...

Does he have a work laptop with him? Those can be tracked too... I have a friend who works for a major computer manufacturer and he told me that they have a pretty broad spectrum of tools when it comes to try and find stolen/lost laptops (including remotely activating the webcam and other chill...

Neruda, or what would happen if a poet-politician wrote his own biopic, half self-aggrandizing and half self-deprecating. A movie that manages to be supremely smart, beautiful and very often funny. My only problem with it is that the game of cat and mouse between the policeman and the communist...

No Mario Maker this year. A team relay thing was entered just like the previous year, but it was not selected by the organizers, possibly because it was a bit more of the same and that it can easily go over estimate. They also have a Mystery Game relay race going at some point that kinda scratch...

I recommend watching Grandpoobear's run of Super Dram World. It's a Super Mario World mod that is pretty clever and ridiculously hard.

I missed the whole Contra block, but Metal Slug 3 was a pretty neat run. It's true though that the most interesting aspect for me was that it's much easier to see the insane amount of crazy detailed animations in the game when not playing it, something that a simple "let's play" also allows.

Somehow, no one killed for the GameCube...

@Amzin You're probably right /nod

TARANTULAR! On a side note, Xelna in the Zelda: A Link to the Past race just casually had the 2nd best run of the game ever. Oh and he is the guy who is the record holder... just about everything went perfectly through the whole run. I suspect that with a little bit of luck in the final Ganon...

I have never played any Dragon Age, but at HowLongToBeat, Origins is listed as 40ish hours for an average playthrough of the main game and at 28ish hours for a rushed playthrough of the main game. PS: Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is listed as 9ish rushed 13ish average. It's a DLC though, but...

Considering they raised more than $500k in 4 days, I seriously doubt that.

I am not going to rewatch the movie to be sure @Hoss , but I am reasonably certain the planet they go to is not colonized yet and

There are different types of commentary. I really enjoyed Blechy's commentary during the Mario races, where he talks non stop through a very prepared and informative script, but I also like humorous commentary like, say, Spikevegeta. For longer runs like the one fo FFIV it's pretty neat also how...

The Mario runs about to start! It should be good! This stuff is so ridiculously optimized.

The problems are that the frame story is a melancholic drama, but it does not have enough room to be effective, and the story within the story is a dramatic crime story, but since it is presented as fictional, it's very difficult to care about what happens in it. If there was something clever at...

Currently playing Beyond Oasis on Genesis via the official emulator available on Steam. It's an action adventure game a bit like Landstalker or Zelda, but more linear. It's not flawless, but still enjoyable with nice visuals using huge sprites at time and very little of the dithering technique...

Not according to the guy who went through the shipping manifest! But as I said in my review, you better not think too much about it all because the sci-fi element is just here to create a situation and its conundrum for the romantic dramedy. If it was an actual sci-fi movie other themes would be...

If we want to explore plot holes,

I hate TCM because when I want to watch a movie I end up watching three... anyway, that allowed me to watch again a film I first saw a long time ago: Nicholas Ray's 1954 proto-anti-western Johnny Guitar. The movie did not leave me with a strong impression the first time around (to the point I am...

Debatable!

Pro tip to enjoy the Yakuza serie to the fullest: relatively early on in every game there is a character (usually in a bar) that gives you hints as to where you can currently start side quests. Never progress the main story before you run out of side quests. The main story is an over the top...

Gigli of SF would be Prometheus. The guy who wrote Passengers had a hand in that though! Also this movie is not even the worst reviewed movie of the month. That dubious honor would go to Assassin's Creed.

It is a romantic dramedy in space and, for what it is, it's not that far from being great. You need to suspend a little more than disbelief to enjoy this plot though.

What a bizarre mess this movie is.

Monster Hunter and Dynasty Warrior sales? On a side note, that guy in the teaser should be careful with his sword, he almost severed his friend's Achilles tendon @30.

Just saw two movies very difficult to rate: The first one was The Neon Demon that takes a cliché story (new girl in LA has the special something thats makes her a star - here in modeling) and twist it by bringing it to its (il)logical extreme. The end result is somehow something even more stupid...

In the realm of "let's take an old IP and put a fresh coat of paint on it", these prequels are among the best there are. The fact they are well shot, well written and well acted big productions with 0% of camp and not a joke in sight certainly does not hurt. It's not at Villeneuve's level of...

Ended up seeing it. Solid movie, especially because of its omnipresent "end of an era" theme. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to westerns, but I feel that's it's a pretty common theme in classic westerns (the end of the wild west) that is here cleverly modernized. That being said, the...

Michael Chiklis was a huge fan of Fantastic Four. That did not help much!

A lot of Shutter Island with a bit of The Grand Budapest Hotel / Youth? Why not. I am a fan of Verbinski anyway. Also: set in Switzerland (the birth place of LSD!).

Wouldn't it be great if it ended up being a good movie? Finger crossed.

I'll preemptively ask rhinohelix to kindly spoiler the answer to that question.

Played on emulator through the Super Famicom remake of Dragon Quest III with the fan made english translation patch... A pleasant classic RPG romp with the always nice Dragon Quest flair. A notable thing in this game is a very neat character creation system where you answer some questions -...

I never was extremely enamored with them, possibly because I was not a child when I saw them first and also did not saw them at the time of their release, so, in a way, their impact got dulled by the fact I saw films/tv show/cartoons and read comics that got influenced by them before actually...

The prequels were aggressively bad. This film is just mediocre. I guess it performs its functions as a filler for a plot hole and as a cornucopia of references and easter eggs (other than the incomprehensible choice to have Darth Vader make a pun...), but I care very little about that, so this...
