Star Trek The Motion Picture Review



Here it is, the Star Trek original movie series in review, in honor of the new Star Trek movie. Today's movie, starting from the very beginning:



I dunno what it is about the first movie of epic science fiction series, but this suffers the same problem as The Phantom Menace (and the same first letters of the title, just in a different order: TMP, TPM O_O!). This movie is very very very lacking when compared to the following movies. It has a very Lucas-ian habit of relying on the effects to carry the movie...and boy, do they love to rely on the effects in the movie. So here we go...

Star Trek TV Series Main Themes Review

Music is something that I consider important. When I play a game, I want a soundtrack that will pull me into the action. When I watch a movie, I expect a score that will accent the scenes, and not some crappy new age rock group playing forgettable songs that do nothing to enhance the scene. To that end, I decided to do a mini review on the Star Trek TV series' main themes, because these themes are part of the legacy of Star Trek, and the fond (or horrible) memories we may have of this epic space saga. So here I go:

Game Review - Knights of the Old Republic II





Today's review is of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords. Part of the Old Republic series that covers the first Knights of the Old Republic (from here on just called KotOR) and the upcoming The Old Republic MMORPG, this series really helped to pull people into the Star Wars environment and gave you a choice to walk the path of light, or the path of dark.

Game Review - New Super Mario Bros Wii





Today's review is New Super Mario Bros. Wii, or as the game calls it, "New Super Mario Brothers, Wii-HII!!!!!" And this game really is a mixed bag for me. Allow me to explain the backstory for this game. A friend of mine picked this game up, called me up and said he wanted to get me and my other friend together and play the multiplayer on the game, I was fired up, said yeah and we all got together and played this game, I didn't play all the game, but together, we all compelted this game in under a day (excluding the secret world). So how does it stack up? Read on to see...

Batman Forever Movie Review

Since I reviewed a good Batman game, I thought I would review a bad Batman movie to follow up. While it's not as bad as Batman & Robin, it's still pretty painful, so today's review is of:


What can be considered the second worst Batman movie of the original Batman franchise started by Tim Burton, Batman Forever, while not as horrid as Batman & Robin, is still pretty bad. Changing directors from Burton to Joel Shumacher was not the wisest choice for Warner Brothers to make, because the series changes from a dark Gothic story to a campy goofball story with offensive colorings and overacting that only Jim Carrey can master. I'll be reviewing section of the movie before giving a final score that's not an average.
