    Zero Punctuation: Minecraft

    And yet, Yahtzee doesn't like Eve Online. It must be the fact that it involves other people.

    Escape to the Movies: True Grit

    1) The King's Speech isn't overrated, The Social Network is. 2) Do you literally have no balls whatsoever? What's with the apology to Michael Bay. 3) Glad you remembered Kick-ass. Pity both of the other movies in your top three are the definition of insipid 18-34 target marketing.

    Escape to the Movies: The Social Network

    OH HOW UNPREDICTABLE. You just don't have the balls Armand White has, do you?

    Escape to the Movies: Machete

    "best pure action film of the year" Urrgh, get out. You are such an industry toady, Moviebob.

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    The only thing missing from this review was a mention of Kick-ass as an example of an action movie with blood, characters, comedy, drama, and all that old-fashioned stuff no one seems to care about any more. Nonetheless, you have finally redeemed yourself for that Splice review. Who'd have...

    Escape to the Movies: The Last Airbender

    When an action-epic fantasy movie is released in a cut around 90 minutes long, it's because they realised they'd screwed up udirng post-production and cut out everything possible to reduce the amount of FX require and cram in the most screenings per day during the opening weekend. Oh and M...

    Zero Punctuation: Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

    Ebert is a solipsistic old troll and Yahtzee is a youthful and spritely one! I tip my hat to you, sir!

    Escape to the Movies: Knight and Day ... also Smurfs

    I think MovieBob will somehow manage to forget his outrage at the Americanisation of all things Belgian when Speilburg's Tintin movie is released. Just sayin'.

    Escape to the Movies: Toy Story 3

    Uh, Toy Story 1 was about accepting yourself for what you are, Toy Story 2 was about parental feelings of abandonment when children leave home. Nothing about mortality in either movie at all, frankly. Also, Splice sucked, and to such a degree that I can't believe you really liked it. I'm...

    Escape to the Movies: Splice

    I'm going to assume by "this year's District 9" you mean an above-average if critically over-rated recycling of genre cliches (even though I know you don't) that dips in quality after the middle of Act 2 yet remains enjoyable. In all seriousness: sign me up to see this! BTW no year when...

    Escape to the Movies: Shrek For Ever After

    No, but it makes the amount of hype they get mildly irksome. Ratatouille? That had a literate rat controlling a human's movements by pulling his hair. It's transparently obvious that it's whole story is derived from a stupid pun on the title. It has a 96% Tomatometer rating. I'm not going to...

    Escape to the Movies: Shrek For Ever After

    I sense that you are mistaking me for a troll. I merely wished to make a few points: 1) Ppl should really check out Miyazaki's stuffs he's awesome <3 <3 2) Western animation is always hamstrung by committee plot design which restricts the kinds of stories they can tell and ensures that...

    Escape to the Movies: Shrek For Ever After

    "Remember how good the first Shrek was?" No. Oh, and except for the first Toy Story Pixar's movies are all tiresomely generic, unimaginative tosh hiding behind superficially high concepts. Yes, that includes the Incredibles. No, I'm not saying Dreamworks are any better. Hayao Miyazaki, baby!

    Zero Punctuation: BioShock 2

    Word is that Portal 2 will have a coop mode where you play as a modified gun turret. I'm not making this shit up.

    Escape to the Movies: Avengers: Assemble!

    Well it SHOULD have, nyah! =P In all srsns: the Avengers movie isn't as good an idea as you think it is. It's like going "why not put He-Man, Aragorn and Luke Skywalker in the same movie?" There's no reason to do it, because they're all essentially the same Joe Campbell character - just like...
