ECLIPSE REVIEW: Wait… Matt… LIKED it?

Friday, July 16th, 2010

As a film and as an adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s bestselling tween romance novels, Eclipse’s director, David Slade, most certainly out-did either of his predecessors. While the love story remains intact to satisfy Nat’s need for any angsty werewolf/vampire/human love triangle, Matt appreciated the clear effort taken to attract a male audience by adding a dark and more violent visual style, that was clearly riffing on actual horror elements for the first time in the series.

Coming up next are Reviews of The Last Airbender, Predators and Inception!

IRONMAN 2 REVIEW: The Only Thing Better than 1 Ironman…

Friday, May 14th, 2010

We were blown away by the first Ironman, and with the same creative team behind the sequel, we had high hopes going into part 2. The drama, action and comedy were all firing on all cylinders and it didn’t take long for us to realize we were in an Ironman film! Long live the Ironmen!

IRONMAN 2 VIDEO GAME REVIEW: Gyp Me Twice?

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010


With the rich world of the first Ironman film to start with and the failure of the first Ironman video game to learn from, adding Marvel’s writer behind Invincible Ironman to the equation SHOULD have made for an amazing game this time around… but it didn’t.

IRONMAN 2 PREVIEW: Hammer? Whiplash? War Machine? Black Widow? Now THAT’s a Sequel!

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

John Favreau, Robert Downey Jr. and Gweneth Paltrow are back for the follow-up to Marvel’s incredible Ironman and joining them are Don Cheadle, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson to bring Tony Stark face-to-face with at least one more iron man of his own design: War Machine! Plus, his industrial nemesis Justin Hammer, S.H.I.E.L.D. Leader Nick Fury, the composite villain of Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo PLUS his seducer and betrayer from Ultimates, Black Widow. It’s anybody’s guess where this sequel will be going, but with a fanboy like Favreau in the driver’s seat, we just KNOW it’s going to be a ride we’re gonna love!

GOD OF WAR 3 REVIEW: Rage + Vengeance + Brutality = Perfection!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

We were both BLOWN AWAY by almost every aspect of God of War 3. A fitting end to the Kratos trilogy and an amazing mythological bookend, GOW3 also delivered an even slicker gameplay and possibly the greatest graphics in any game, ever. Small hiccups to the gameplay like a DDR-style music minigame and a few too many knuckle sandwiches to the face of Zeus aside, this baby knocks it out of the park!

NEW MOON REVIEW: Twilight Kicked Up a Notch

Friday, November 20th, 2009


We were both impressed with what this sequel was able accomplish over the first film in the Twilight franchise. With better action, better acting, and better direction all around, New Moon gave both Nat as a Twilight veteran, and Matt as a noob, much more than we were expecting.
