Reviews Without Pity: Commando

Commando is a truly awful action movie from 1985 featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, with an unsurprising plot, idiotic dialog, cardboard characters, and one unimaginative cliche after another, which somehow still manages to be great fun to watch.

Bookstores, Libraries and a Lack of Satisfaction

It's become my weekend routine to spend Sunday afternoons in a bookstore. I'll head to whatever Borders or Barnes and Noble is convenient and wander the aisles for a few minutes, waiting for something of interest to catch my eye.

Reviews Without Pity: Leprechaun

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, and after succumbing to the constant urging of a friend whose exquisitely refined taste in cinema I have come to appreciate and depend on, I recently enjoyed a viewing of the 1993 horror classic, Leprechaun.

I Want You To Want Me, Or, Why I Don't Care If Spitzer Broke the Law

The story of Elliot Spitzer's fall from grace has been spotlighted by the national media with enough intensity to induce third degree burns. It seems pretty likely at this point that the now former New York Governor broke any number of laws.

The Menance to Your Rear End

I've had to exercise my citizenship to make a difficult political decision lately, and I'm going to try and discuss it here without mentioning my leanings. It isn't about universal healthcare, 100 years of war in Iraq, or the economy (, stupid).

Reviews Without Pity: I Am Legend

I Am Legend continues a disturbing Hollywood trend of "basing" movies on books by pulling the title, setting and character names, and completely rewriting the plot, themes and everything else to the point of unrecognizability.

First Impressions Without Pity: Mass Effect

I picked up BioWare's Mass Effect yesterday immediately after work, and managed to log around 4 hours of solid playtime. I just reached a point I think most people will recognize as the end of the intro segment and beginning of the bulk of the game.

Socrates, Halo, Scarface, Space Nazis, Corrupting the Youth, The Global War on Terror and the State of the Arts (and I Agree With Jack Thompson)

Reviews Without Pity: Catan

About three weeks ago, I dropped ~$500 on an X-Box 360 and accessories. Care to guess what game has begun to consume my every waking hour? Gears of War? No. Oblivion? Nope. Bioshock? Wrong Again.
