A little over a year ago I posted my review of vanilla Destiny, which I gave a superb 4.5 star rating. That review encompassed the game from launch to three weeks after launch with a little over 85 hours invested in it and having done everything but the raid. Now here we are a month and a half removed from the release of Destiny’s first major expansion, The Taken King, and it is time to review it all over again.

Nosferatu Review
While far be it from me to condone direct theft/plagiarism, I will say here, that even though this movie was a direct rip-off of Bram Stroker’s Dracula, as a motion picture, it remains superior to any subsequent attempt to film the Dracula story, even to this day. This is another review from the big 50-pack… Continue reading Nosferatu Review
Evil Dead 2 Review
Still trapped in the same cabin from part one, Ash, the sole survivor from last time out, still finds himself battling the undead. To keep things interesting a few interlopers and visitors pop up here and there, but mostly, this is Ashley’s inner-badass coming out party bay-bay. Evil Dead 2 is the film most people… Continue reading Evil Dead 2 Review
The Evil Dead Review
As we get nearer to Halloween, I was struggling to think of more horror titles to fit in with the QDR series when the ‘Evil Dead’ franchise popped in my head. This works as a double tie-in with the Halloween season, plus the new TV series starting this fall starring none other than Mr. Bruce… Continue reading The Evil Dead Review
Star Wars – Knights of the Old Republic Review
Seven years. That's how long I considered Knights of the Old Republic my all-time favorite video game. It's still a top five, but it was knocked off by Red Dead Redemption back in 2010. Still, that's a good amount of time considering during that seven year (well almost) span a lot of really great games… Continue reading Star Wars – Knights of the Old Republic Review
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Review
What do you get when you cross the best elements out of a Grand Theft Auto game, the Metal Gear series, stealth games like Splinter Cell, and for grins an almost MMO lite online mode for a bonus? You get Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain which is easily in contention for Game of the… Continue reading Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Review
Leaving Las Vegas Review
Ben is a divorced screenwriter, recently fired, who has given up on life altogether. A chronic alcoholic, he has decided to take what money he has left and go to Vegas where he plans on drinking himself into an oblivion. Along the way he meets a Vegas hooker named Sera (Elizabeth Shoe) who takes pity… Continue reading Leaving Las Vegas Review
No Country For Old Men Review
I was a little younger when I first saw this movie, and I did not fully appreciate it to the extent I do now. I was watching it expecting a satisfying formulaic action movie, and of course, if you watch No Country For Old Men expecting that, you are going to walk out pissed. In… Continue reading No Country For Old Men Review
The Witcher III – Wild Hunt Review
This gaming series has been a frustration for me. Frustrating because I have played and tried each game in this series and did my darnedest to fall in love with the games and just couldn't because some of the gameplay and combat mechanics were not to my liking. I just couldn't get on board and… Continue reading The Witcher III – Wild Hunt Review
Stand By Me Review
Some of my most sacred childhood memories involve walking the local railroad tracks, most of the time with my dad trailing not that far behind. I grew up in the early to mid 90s, so it was not quite the same odyssey that the characters in this movie experience, but I get very fond nostalgia… Continue reading Stand By Me Review
