So Idris Elba is a Badass, Isn’t He? Or Why We Can’t Wait to See The Dark Tower
Have you ever watched Luther? Idris Elba takes crazy/genius to a new level. Like this scene when after he gets done winning Russian roulette, he punches the guy in the face by channeling his inner Mike Tyson. Just listen to the crunch when his punches land. Now it’s his turn to act as Roland, the Gunslinger with […]

Stranger Things 2 Trailer Rocks. Completely.
Look at that friggin’ gigantic thing at the end! Look at the sketch in the notebook just moments earlier! What part about this trailer isn’t completely badass? Because I’m not seeing it.

It’s a time-proven storyline though. Machines become self-aware, and then they feel the only way to peace is through human extinction. Give them […]

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer #2
I know what you’re thinking. “What comes after Darth Vader?” At the very least, this is what went through my head after watching this trailer. I mean, everything in the first six episodes revolves around the evo-devolution of Anakin Skywalker. And if he’s dead, then what? I mean, do you remember the years of pro […]

Interstellar, Relativity, and a Mass Effect 4 Wish
I’m not a theoretical physicist, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I did however recently watch Interstellar (finally), and much like Doc Brown’s flux capacitor moment (sans the epic porcelain concussion), the gamer in me suddenly became overwhelmed with an idea: combining the theory of relativity with Mass Effect 4. BioWare, […]

Plato’s Reality Machine Review
Plato’s Reality Machine is a film about longing for another world. A world where one gets to be exactly who she or he wants to be. Whether it’s through drinking, sex or video games, the main characters struggle balancing the pull of reality with the push of fantasy. This dissonance drives the characters into more […]
