Street Fighter 6 Review – Punching Down (PS5)
by
Daniel Boyd
Street Fighter 6, – the latest addition to the renowned fighting game franchise, falls tragically short of expectations, ultimately resulting in a disappointing experience. In the interest of full disclosure, I should probably make it known that I have always been a bigger fan of the Mortal Kombat series than the Street Fighter games. For me, Street Fighter always lacked the […] More

The Boogeyman Review – A Masterclass In Tension
There is perhaps no horror author more prolific or more successful than Stephen King. And if he’s not #1, the list above him is a short one. And one consequence of that extended and sustained success is having many of your written works adapted into movies. Carrie, The Shining, Misery, It, the list goes on and on. […] More

About My Father Review – Great Setup, Disappointing Result
About My Father puts stand-up comic Sebastian Maniscalco in the leading role of a major feature film. The road from stand-up comedian to movie star is paved with successes and failures alike. Robin Williams (good!) to Dane Cook (bad!), there are countless examples on both sides. The bottom line is being a successful comic has no […] More

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Review – A Waste of Your Precious Time (PS5)
by
Daniel Boyd
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a game that nobody asked for. Not Tolkien fans, not gamers, not even Andy Serkis himself, and yet here it is. In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a LotR fan, nor am I a fantasy fan. While I appreciate that the Peter Jackson trilogy is […] More

FUBAR Review: Terrible Series Too Tailored To Arnold
by
Elliott Wishnefsky updated
FUBAR is a new Netflix series starring legendary action star Arnold Schwarzenegger in his first television series role. The series had potential, but it ultimately falls flat on its face. The action scenes are generic, the humor and jokes are forced, and the characters are underdeveloped. Schwarzenegger does his best with a role clearly tailored […] More

The Wrath of Becky Review – Bring On The Blood
by
Joshua Ryan updated
2020’s Becky was somewhat of a surprise hit. As a low-budget, action thriller gore-fest it was released to video-on-demand and a handful of theaters. One significant draw to the film was its casting of comedian Kevin James — best known for the long running sitcom The King of Queens — as the film’s antagonist. This year’s follow-up, […] More

The Little Mermaid Review – Wading Through a Sea of Mediocrity
by
Joshua Ryan
The Little Mermaid holds a special place in the hearts of Disney fans. Releasing in 1989, the animated classic about a young mermaid with dreams of exploring a world beyond her own marked the beginning of a new era for the studio. The characters were fleshed out, the villain was perfectly maniacal and the songs were […] More

Disney’s Live-Action Remakes Ranked: Where Does The Little Mermaid Land?
by
Joshua Ryan
Disney’s live-action remakes have come to be an expected part of the studio’s film lineup, both theatrically and on their streaming service. While most of the adaptations are met with a significant amount of cynicism — especially from a small, but vocal toxic online presence — these movies usually bode well at the box office. […] More

White Men Can’t Jump Review – An Air-Ball Of A Reboot
by
Joshua Ryan
1992’s White Men Can’t Jump is a modest cult-classic, fondly remembered for its outstanding cast, its handling of sensitive topics and its blending of a sports-comedy structure with dramatic elements. Filmmaker Calmatic — whom also brought us the House Party remake earlier this year — does his best to bring the story to a modern […] More

by
Luke Addison updated
Last month Turtle Beach released their latest product onto the gaming headset market, and following on from their Stealth 600 MAX and Stealth 700 MAX naming convention, we now have the Stealth Pro; a premium monster of a headset, but does it warrant the price-tag? Most gamers have heard of, if not used one version […] More
