The Cold War has supposedly been over for 20 years now, so what’s with all these films pitting Cold War spies against each other? Salt continues the trend formulaically, but also spectacularly- it is truly the new template by which “Spy vs Spy” films should follow.

Guess who’s back…back again…Predators returns the franchise to the jungle, but manages to keep the formula intact. Whether this is a good thing is entirely up to the viewer.

Midnight Shamalon is an awesome director. After he did the lame Sixth Sense, he started making awesome movies like that one with that chick in the swimming pool. So obviously I went to see this movie.
Some retards called Midnight’s decision to get white people in this movie as “racist” or “the dumbest things I’ve ever heard,” but I believe these people are the idiots because they fail …

Sonic Triple Trouble (Japanese title: Sonic & Tails 2) is a direct sequel to Sonic Chaos (Japanese title: Sonic & Tails). Once again, I have to wonder why they changed the name, because Triple Trouble doesn’t make much sense as a title. Again, only Sonic & Tails are playable and while there are three antagonists, you don’t see them very often so I have no idea why they settled on that name.
Unlike the other Game Gear games up to this point, Sonic …

The story of the underdog-turned-champion is one oft repeated in film and television- Rocky, Major League, Seabiscuit and the original Karate Kid all proved this. But what makes Karate Kid 2010 truly shine is the fact that this one, out of all of them, is a complete package, with sharp writing, stunning cinematography, intense action sequences and charismatic actors. It is total entertainment wrapped around a relatable story.

Where Pixar first pushed the envelope many years ago, they picked it right back up and pushed it some more. The environments are still colorful, the characters crisp and the dynamics of scene almost overwhelming. Despite being fully human-sized, I immediately could feel the room growing around me until I was the same size as Woody and the gang.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is perhaps the best video game movie released to date. Unfortunately, the standards for video game movies are quite a bit lower than other movies.

May’s edition of the Manga Moveable Feast features To Terra as the title for discussion. As a collaborative project, I wondered why I should bother with an intro to the story with a lengthy and detailed introduction written by Kate Dacey already available. I would recommend those unfamiliar with the series to read that link before continuing on. I planned to write more on this month’s topic, but end-of-school-year obligations held up my progress.

To Terra is a very interesting example of late 70s Japanese science fiction. It clearly displays elements …

I went into Avatar not expecting much. I expected a mediocre, but pretty, action movie. Somehow, it went far, far below my low expectations and continued to become even worse. Here’s why Avatar sucks
1.The Villain Has Less Depth Than Boris Badenov

The villain is all but giggling as he kills children and destroys homes, the villain hates blue people because they’re stupid and don’t appreciate humans invading their territory, the villain is not an actual character. He is a plot device. He exists for the audience to hate him. He has …

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter sounded like a book that would only be amusing or interesting in its base concept, but nothing more. I picked up the book fully expecting it to be bad and only have a few parts where I would find it interesting. I was pleasantly surprised and found a pretty good vampire story.
Outside of Teddie Roosevelt–who you could say was Batman and a master zombie-killer while still being perfectly plausible–there are few presidents who mix well with weird stories. Abraham Lincoln is one of those few. With …
