Mario Golf: World Tour Review

But did the long break away from the green make it hard for Mario to get his swing back? The games interface and design has a lot in common with Camelots previous 3DS offering,Mario Tennis Open. But all minor issues aside,Mario Golf: World Touris an easy hole-in-one in many aspects. AndGoogle+, if thats your thing! Rating: 4 out of 5

Music in Film: Under The Skin and The Grand Budapest Hotel

Any high street outside a UK shopping centre. Under The Skin Ooo. A signal from a mothership? A failing of machinery? An interference of emotion? The noise of life humming away? For us, those three notes are a unique and uniquely terrifying experience. A perfect use of sound to elevate an accomplished sci-fi to a technical masterpiece. One can only imagine what Scarlets alien feels when she hears them. The Grand Budapest Hotel...

Why 1985 was a golden year for videogaming

For the time,Saboteurcontained some great ideas, courtesy of programmer Clive Townsend. There were stealth elements, too, which were practically unknown at the time. The sun cast shadows on the games title planet, which shift with its orbit. The result was another action adventure masterpiece. As an expansion of Reidys ownSkool Daze,released a year earlier,Back To Skoolwas technically superb. As an interactive, quintessentially British comedy, it was top of its class....

Revisiting Biggles: Adventures In Time

ThinkIndiana Jonescrossed withAces High. As such Fergusons role ends up being closer to that of a comic foil. This means that the other American characters have to be grating comic relief just to make Jim look good. Or, when the contrast between nationalities provides some good natured ribbing, with Biggles declaration: Quick! Untie us before they realise youre not a God, youre just an American. The drawback of the comic foil also being the audience identification figure is that he effectively becomes the lead....

Honeymoon Review

It can be an old cliche that men never quite know what is going on inside a womans head. In Janiaks story, the problem may be he knows her a little too well. Theres no cell phone service, no wi-fi, and not even a DVD player. Of course, this is going to end well for the lovebirds. The movie is also aided immensely by Rose Leslies performance as Bea. Its also effective because it becomes so much more telling about her state of mind when the smiles stop....

Watchmen’s long journey from page to screen

Alan Moore always said his graphic novel was unfilmable, and for a while, that almost looked true. Silver said: It was a much, much better movie… I was trying to get it back from the studio at that point. Christ almighty, its the goddamn Watchmen! It all started when Silver and 20th Century Fox president Lawrence Gordon optioned the comic back in 1986. More infamously, he changed the ending. Meanwhile, Silver reportedly had some ideas about his dream cast for the film....

Game Of Thrones: Breaker Of Chains Review

The mystery of who killed the king is hardly that in this week’s Game of Thrones. Also, Dany reaches Meereen… ThisGame of Thronesreview contains spoilers. Who killed Joffrey Baratheon? Not the kind of writers to hide in the shadows, creators David Benioff and D.B. Now is the time for jostling and shifting for power and position. And in Joffreys case that means a very prone one while mom and dad make their moves....

Life Partners Review

Leighton Meester and Gillian Jacobs make for a unique pair of Life Partners in their new film… Friendship can be the most difficult kind of love, because youdontgo to bed with them every night. At least that is what Susanna Fogel posits in her first feature,Life Partners. Branching further out into Sashas life beyond this connection, however, can be a mixed bag. It is not Brodys movie, but he makes a nice foil for adulthood against the endlessly childish Sasha....

Ways MLB: The Show can be innovative again. But while this will almost certainly be the most beautiful baseball sim of all time, aesthetics arent everything.

Billy Bob Thornton Talks Fargo

Was there anything about this character that you added to the role that wasnt already really scripted for you? Billy Bob Thornton:A weird haircut [Laughs], which was actually a mistake. I could be the bass player of the Buffalo Springfield. Or, Ken Burns, the dark side of Ken Burns. But Malvo would look at their sweater and say, why are you wearing that sweater? I mean, you work in a clothing store....
