    Zero Punctuation: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - It Sucks, Ha.

    Good stuff, as always. I would like to comment on your final bit of text: 'can vampires stop being sexy?' In the business of monsters and otherness, the single most defining characteristic of vampires from the beginning (aside from the etymological link to dragons 'dracul') is their sexual...

    Escape to the Movies: Prometheus

    I can come up with some criticism for this movie, but I think your atheistic bias turned you a bit in the wrong direction here. At the very least, this movie carries with it a message of religious ambiguity, and the strengthening of belief as a result- there are no answers at the conclusion, and...

    The Big Picture: Untransformed

    Escape to the Movies: Super Mario Bros. (Rough Cut)

    This was largely unfunny. Seriously, april fools jokes are WAY more funny when you don't realize that you are being fooled. This was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen right from the get go. I'm sure you hate the usual comparison to the infamous "Yahtzee" but I must indulge a bit- when he...

    Escape to the Movies: The Kings Speech

    Look, you cannot simply throw out a bunch of apparently "oscar specific" guidelines and neglect to provide sufficient examples for them. I could literally take ANY of the other nominees and give it the same service as you just did, with the ultra sarcastic, smug tone to boot. OH, black SWAN...
