Summary [8.0 out of 10] A prequel to the God of War series, Ascension tells the story of Kratos’s attempt to break his blood oath to Ares and his subsequent imprisonment by the Furies. Ascension is a solid entry into the series but does very little to move it forward with a story and gameplay [...]
Far Cry 3 (Xbox 360)

Olympus Has Fallen Movie Review
An attempt to pull off Die Hard in the White House, Olympus Has Fallen is a baffling failure in almost every way. The story is pretty simple.

Dead Man Down Movie Review
A straight up no-nonsense revenge-fueled action flick, Dead Man Down is a very entertaining movie with lots of great action and a strong story.

Oz the Great and Powerful Movie Review
With a few bumps along the way, Oz the Great and Powerful is a fun prequel to the Wizard of Oz with gorgeous effects and truly impressive and worthwhile 3D. Based more on the books of Frank Baum than the 1939 MGM film (mostly for legal reasons), Oz the Great and Powerful tells the story [...]

Jeffrey’s Preview of the 85th Annual Academy Awards
I have a confession to make. I love The Oscars. No, I do not always agree with their choices, not at all. I don’t think they are perfect in any way. I do, however, respect The Academy. Unlike any other award show, the Oscars still have at least an illusion of credibility. Unlike the Grammys, [...]
