Well, that was disappointing. Aliens: Colonial Marines has a good story, but the game itself doesn’t match expectations. Despite the involvement of Lance Henrikson and Michael Biehn, and direct ties to the movies, fans of the franchise will most likely want to skip over this game. This isn’t to say Aliens: Colonial Marines…
“Barney & Friends” has been around a while – and only a few years ago did new episodes stop getting produced. New DVDs keep getting released, and Let’s Go To The Moon is one of the latest featuring the purple dinosaur. As you might have guessed, the central theme is centered on the moon. …
Nickelodeon Rootin’ Tootin’ Wild West features a collection of six shows from Nick Jr. – all centered around the theme of The Wild West. Well, at least a version of it that is sanitized and appropriate for a preschool audience. Here is a list of episodes on the DVD Bubble Guppies “The Cowgirl…
The Man With The Iron Fists was written, directed and stars RZA. It’s no secret he is a friend of Quentin Tarantino, and both are fans of martial arts films. RZA is a member of the rap group Wu-Tang clan, which itself took its name from a martial arts film. Loving martial arts films…
While it may be a cliche, there is some truth to the common belief that when you get older you’re more prone to yelling at kids to get off your lawn. Presumably the kids in question in this scenario are strangers trespassing on the older person’s property. And then…
In the future the world has devolved into chaos and humanity has begun changing, either via mutation or augmentation. This is the basic backdrop for Anarchy Reigns, a sort of fighting game/action hybrid that falls short of being great, but is serviceable for those looking for violent action. Think of it as a video game…

We’re getting short changed with the latest “Dora The Explorer” DVD release. I don’t care how good the episodes are, but we are only getting 3 episodes. In the past when Nickelodeon and Paramount put out a 3 episode DVD, one of them would be a double-length episode. Not this time. Just over 60 minutes…
I am so frustrated with Amazon’s Instant Video service. It’s a great resource, in theory, but in practice, it’s an exercise in frustration. Particularly if you’re a member of Amazon Prime – a service I pay for. You expect, when you pay for something, to get a certain level of service. Granted, this is an…
The 1953 film Titanic stars a great deal of fantastic actors on a sinking ship. That’s a fantastic analogy for the film itself. Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Wagner, Thelma Ritter, Richard Basehart and several other recognizable names and faces show up in this melodrama. At just over an hour and a half, the film…
