*note: I played as a Demon Hunter on the Playstation 3 When it was first released by Blizzard Entertainment back in 2012, Diablo III was not received well. However, when it was re-released in August of this year, it made a remarkable comeback. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – The Ultimate Evil Edition redeemed itself […]

As you may know, we have done a review of the book this movie was based on. If you haven’t already, reading that may give you some useful context, as much of this will be a comparison. (click here for the book review) Otherwise, let’s get going. The basic plot of this film is identical […]

“Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse” is one of the most unexpectedly excellent television shows we have ever had the pleasure of viewing. It follows the life of Barbie (as well as her sisters and friends) in Malibu. It is set up to seem like a normal reality T.V show but it’s animated, so it’s obviously […]

I mean, can a movie with a talking raccoon really be anything more than a kid’s film? Well, we were very pleasantly surprised. “Guardians of […]
