A Journey Through Sci-Fi

July 5, 2007 by Bartoneus

I noticed today that Rotten Tomatoes has put up a list of their highest rated top 100 Science Fiction Movies of all time.  If you’ve never been to RT, it is a really nice site that congregates every critic’s opinion/review of a movie and gives them all equal share in the movie’s score.  They then […]

Roll Out: A Transformers Review

July 4, 2007 by The Main Event

I loved Transformers. There, I said it, and a spoiler-free review follows… Plot: A reasonably plausible series of events (considering the arrival of Extra-Terrestrial Non-Biological Beings) occur. Sure, there are some robots (I’m looking at you Frenzy) and some characters (Hackers?) and some events (nerd recluse with grandma, didn’t that ALSO happen in Live Free […]

Inq. of the Week: Transformers?

June 25, 2007 by Bartoneus

When asked which Star Wars games you liked most, Knights of the Old Republic came out on top with 58% of the votes which is not entirely surprising but I was still a bit shocked as I had assumed one of the more classic games/series would pull ahead.  The amazingly classic Tie-Fighter/X-Wing series came in second […]

Inq. of the Week: May the Dice be with you

June 18, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked what kind of gamer you classified yourself as. The top pick was Explorer/Achiever with 9 votes… possibly because it was the most positive of all the options. I know that most of you like to talk smack and just won’t admit it. Second place was my pick, the Dysfunctional Game Designer, […]

Shiver me Timbers, Pirates be a Hit!

Comic Characters Brought to Life

May 20, 2007 by Dave

Just a collection of images from upcoming comic book movies: Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent (and maybe Two-Face)

Inq. of the Week: Third in a Trilogy

May 14, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked what should happen in Spiderman 4. Most of you picked for Carnage (or Maximum Carnage) to happen to the big screen, possibly because the third movie didn’t satisfy your symbiote satisfaction. Coming in second, a possible plotline for those of you who seem to hate Spiderman, was for everybody to die. […]

YouTube of the Week: Superman is John Hodgman Edition

May 8, 2007 by Dave

Even though I’m a big DC fan, I enjoyed these parodies of the Mac/PC ads that lampoon DC Comics’ movie franchises. Originally found at Comics Should Be Good. Three more after the jump.
