The Following, Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot, Jen Johnson Review

One of my friends said she would watch this as a replacement. (Hes 54 and still hot. Come on, people. That alones worth the price of admission.) If youre an Edgar Allan Poe fan, this will be right up your alley. Betcha didnt know that. Ad content continues below 4. It looks really damn scary. I have only one really big concern about this show, but Ill get to that later....

From the Recesses of Netflix: So far the movies are more entertaining than atrocious. Our intention with these articles was to share some really low quality finds with you. But with our last two reviews the movies turned out to be ok. Of course the author of this article may be biased since he absolutely adores H.P. And it is an excuse for him to make all kinds of literary allusions throughout the article....

Anarchy Reigns (Xbox 360), Review

Does it?Does it really? The Dark side of the gameplay follows a bounty hunter after the same prey. If I made this story seem interesting and compelling, it was purely accidental, guys. First of all, I must explain that Story is used rather loosely in this game. When I told you the basics of the story, I wasnt holding back. They really dont tell you much more starting out, and watching it unfold was painful to me....

Broken City, Review

When the audience if five steps ahead of the “crack detective” lead onscreen: Not. Politics is a dirty game, theres no question about it. Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) is an ex-cop turned private eye. Fervor over the Mayors inactivity in saving these peoples homes is not really what worries Hostetler though. Hell, our crack detective cant even figure out that his own girlfriend doesnt love him anymore. The attempted twists are broken, flimsy and underwhelming (not so twisty)....
