After an epic Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace review, Mike Stoklasa is back with a review of Avatar. It’s a more manageable 20 minutes now, and given that Avatar has fewer… “inconsistencies” compared to the subject of his previous review, it still manages to exhibit the same humor and level of film-making analysis [...]

Mike Stoklasa’s review is really long @$$, but seems to fly faster than Anakin’s pod-race sequence! It’s a bit like Film Making 101 meets Yahtzee. The humor can get disturbing at times, but it is brutally honest with an eye for the structure and purpose of film. Perhaps Gizmodo’s headline describes it aptly by saying that [...] On your way home one fine afternoon, you happen upon a little girl staring at the roof of some house, where a little kitty appears to be stuck. Being the nice guy that you are, you decide to give the little girl a hand. Maybe you’d get a ladder to climb-up and get the kitty? [...] Busy month, last June was. A lot of interesting stuff, and not enough time write lengthy spiels about. Micro-blogging has thankfully allowed me to at least place some of those thoughts on record (which reminds me to look for some means of archiving them properly), but some of them are somewhat significant that I’d like [...] … well, you should if you’re willing to deal with a deep/heavy storyline involving personal issues, the nature of humanity, and supes. The story ain’t for everybody, nor is the movie. If you still don’t know, Watchmen is a movie directed by Zack Snyder based on a 12-issue comic of the same name, which was written [...] The Orange Box was released on 2007, so getting it just now (as mentioned in my previous post) makes me a bit late in the game. My system can barely run Portal, and I’ve even run out of virtual memory (a problem I rarely encounter). Still, in my bone-headed desire to fill the time until I [...] The past week was filled with rave reviews on Left 4 Dead. Since I already got myself a steam account last week, and since I’m assuming you’ll need Steam anyway to play Valve games, I was considering purchasing Left 4 Dead online so I can finally get my feet wet with multiplayer FPSs. Two things gave [...] I’ve never been one to get into these “social-network website” things. Every time someone asks to add me to their friends list, I say I don’t have an account, and I get a look of confusion. I have a ton of respect for the social-web thing, I think it’s a great platform and still has [...] A quick review of Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 [Amazon][I got mine from Comic Quest] The official description: Mouse Guard is comic book written and illustrated by David Petersen. Each mini-series is six issues long and published by Archaia Studios Press as well as a collected hardcover edition [sic]. Villard will be publishing the softcover edition of Mouse [...] Iron Man is all over the place! It’s already the 2nd best opening for a non-sequel (Spider-Man still at #1) and the 10th largest all-time opening! But is the movie any good? I’m very pleased to say it is! I’m not all that up-to-date with the comics, so I came into the movie with less background [...] |
