Mortal Kombat Duology Review

Posted on September 28, 2013 by OGR

Mortal Kombat was and is a kick ass video game, especially in the 90s. I, like millions of other young guys, loved the release that an hour of ripping out spines and shattering the bodies of guys I just froze, all … Continue reading →

R.I.P.D. (Review)

Posted on September 27, 2013 by OGR

Frankenstein 1994 (Review)

Posted on September 26, 2013 by OGR

Posted on September 21, 2013 by OGR

The Call (Review)

Posted on September 20, 2013 by OGR

21 Grams (Review)

Posted on September 19, 2013 by OGR

21 Grams is a story told out of sequence that gradually embroils the three lead characters as the story – and their lives – unravel before us. With the flip-flopping nature of the narrative it is unfair to discuss even … Continue reading →
