Free Fire Review
Free Fire is in the same stroke an absurdist presentation of the longest gunfight you’ll ever see and one grounded in an odd hyperrealism you don’t see much in action films. What starts as a funny and loose character study with an improbable amount of bullets ends the same way. And while that may sound like a one-note movie, that one note tends to be slick, sassy, and worth your time. The premise…

Colossal Review
Colossal is not what you expect. If you saw the trailer and went into this thinking it’s a low fantasy, summertime romp as Anne Hathaway controls a monster and saves the world, then you’d be stupendously wrong. But if you can look past the 30-story romcom monster, then you’ll find a surprising, funny, and pointed message about gender relations (and several meandering ones about a bunch of other…

You Should Probably Play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
You Should Probably Play PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
As I’m slowly falling down to Earth, I look back on the plane as it meanders away from the island. It was a simpler time back when I was aboard, even if it was just as confusing sitting in a cargo hold filled with 100 people. But looking around at the other black dots of parachutes littering the sky, my hands begin to sweat—my muscles tighten. There are two jumpers less than a hundred yards away.…

About Telltale's Guardians Of The Galaxy
About Telltale’s Guardians Of The Galaxy
We’ve heard a near ungodly amount of news regarding the impending Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. There are like a dozen post-credits scenes and writer/director James Gunn will continue for another 20 sequels. Or something. But what about Telltale’s take on the franchise. What about Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series? Upfront, it sounds like the perfect marriage betwixt material and…

Your Name Review
The best anime does the impossible. Movies do that all the time, I guess, pitting irresponsibly beautiful men and women against dinosaurs and aliens, but anime does something different. It makes this plain old world feel magical—expansive to the point of exploding with possibility—while making the ethereal appear as normal as white bread. That’s exactly what Your Name does, the fifth film from…

The Fate Of The Furious Review
The Fate Of The Furious Review
For such an explosive and visually tantalizing action movie, it’s odd to consider that The Fate of the Furious nails the fundamentals and somehow fails to stick the landing. It’s hard to point to any one part of the film that does its job poorly, and yet the overall taste left in your mouth is one of only tepid adrenaline. Amidst all the jokes and stunts and drama, there’s a revelation that it…

You Get What Yooka-Laylee
You Get What Yooka-Laylee
There was a time when the N64 ruled the world, and it’s not hard to see why. It was the successor to one of the most successful consoles ever made, it birthed both the conventions and the genre of the 3D action platformer in Super Mario 64, and it taught every kid and college student that playing as Oddjob is a bitch move. For seven years, cartridges and blisters ruled the Earth. Several games…

Put Your Peepers On The Thor: Ragnarok Trailer
Put Your Peepers On The Thor: Ragnarok Trailer
Hey, do you know what looks really good? Thor: Ragnarok. There’s a lot to digest here. First and foremost is now we have more concrete answers for where the Hulk has been and, to a lesser extent (given the post-credits scene for Doctor Strange), Thor’s additional and notable absence from Civil War. Thor has been imprisoned, lost his…

You Should Probably Play Persona 5
You Should Probably Play Persona 5
Most games aim for a moment. The Moment, really. They want to make the sort of splash that doesn’t just generate waves but leaves a lasting impact on the shores miles out. And despite the incredible breadth of suitors that indulge in this journey, very few make it. It’s hard to explain how Persona 5, then, manages to land not just The Moment but a series of moments that are tremendous. (And…

The Thing About Rain World
The Thing About Rain World
I have not finished Rain World. It’s entirely unlikely I’m ever going to finish it either. Most people push back from getting to the end of something because it’s bad. Take, for example, Weeds or Jupiter Ascending. That’s not the crux here with Rain World, though. It’s not a great game—not even close—but it’s also not bad. The real problem is that it’s just so goddamn brutal. The Thing is that…

Ghost In The Shell Review
Ghost In The Shell Review
There are messes, there are hot messes, and then there are messes that are also hot. Ghost in the Shell, unfortunately, falls in the last bucket. While visually arresting, it fails to capitalize on its iconic realization of a cyberpunk future and gets mired in the simple act of getting from scene to scene. Even with the context provided by growing up with the source material, it doesn’t ever get…

Loot Rascals Review
Based on the title alone, you’d think that Loot Rascals is all about the loot. (And rascals, if you want to be pedantic about it.) For that much, it’s true, but the game is also difficult, esoteric at times, and damn hard to put down. It combines a lot of odd parts into a surprisingly compelling whole. Perhaps that’s what you get when you have a man who says he’s not interested in roguelikes…

Bill Nye: Science Guy At SXSW 2017
Bill Nye: Science Guy At SXSW 2017
Bill Nye: Science Guy tells the story of Bill Nye, the guy you probably best known for starring in a PBS series that ended every episode with an objectively nerdy parody of a famous pop song. He spent five years doing this, educating the youths of yesterday (and the adults of today) on topics like dinosaurs and gravity by making somewhat mundane topics bouncy and energetic and, above all,…

Power Rangers Review
Power Rangers is a mystery. First off, how does it exist? That’s bonkers. But also, how does it work? It manages to be innovative, progressive, and just the right amount of referential and reverential at the same time. It’s far from a perfect film—it’s biggest problem is caused precisely by that Megazord-sized ambition—but it gets so much right, you can’t help but walk away with a smile on your…

Ape Out At SXSW 2017
When a crowd gathers at a convention, you go. It’s kind of just human instinct. As long as there aren’t shirts flying through the air or people yelling at other people on a stage, you can’t go wrong with a crowd’s interest in a particular gaming spectacle. In the case of SXSW 2017, tucked away in the back corner of the Gaming Expo where faceless curtains hide concrete walls and endless cables, I…

Iron Fist Season 1 Review
Iron Fist Season 1 Review
Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised. At this point, we know that Marvel’s continued success is almost equal parts casting and production. When they align like with Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Chris Pratt/James Gunn combo, it’s beautiful. When things fall apart from a coupling made in heaven and descend into passability like with Ant-Man‘s Edgar Wright/Peyton Reed swap meet, it’s painful to know what…

Where The Water Tastes Like Wine At SXSW 2017
Where The Water Tastes Like Wine At SXSW 2017
I doubt I can do any better at cultivating the right expectations for this game than its own website, so here it is: “Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a bleak American folk tale about traveling, sharing stories, and surviving manifest destiny.” Hot damn that’s good. It perfectly paints the tone and attitude of the tales (yes, plural) contained within. More than that, it’s oddly haunting.…
