Caligula The Ultimate Cut

Caligula was a movie of legend growing up. It was this forbidden fruit that myself and my friends had often spoken about in hushed whispers. A movie so controversial it was banned due to the sexual nature of the film. I don’t know where we heard about Caligula and the nature of this film but we all seemed to know something about it despite having never seen it. When I was offered the chance to review this film of legend, instantly I was intrigued and jumped at the opportunity. I told my wife about it and we watched the 3ish hour movie. When all was said and done, we looked at one another and thought – it wasn’t that bad. Why was this so controversial?…

The Equalizer 3 Bluray Review

The Equalizer 3 stars Denzel Washington, and Dakota Fanning and was directed by Antoine Fuqua. Special thanks to Sony Home Entertainment for the generous Bluray disc. The third and (potentially) final film in the popular action series. In this installment, Denzel Washington’s Robert McCall struggles with his past and learns that his friends are under the control of the local crime bosses. It’s at this point he decides it’s time to step up and become a protector. It’s been a while since I watched the previous installments in the series and I wish I had the time to review them one more time before diving into this one but timing just didn’t work out for me but from what I recall, the Equalizer 3 starts…

Leave the World Behind Review (Netflix)

It’s an adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s 2020 best-selling novel of the same name. It’s about a family who decides they need to get away from the big city and take a break so they rent a luxurious home for the weekend with their kids, Archie (Charlie Evans) and Rose (Farrah Mackenzie).

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Review (Xbox Series X)

Playing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was quite an experience. As someone who’s always been captivated by James Cameron’s world of Pandora, diving into this open-world action-adventure game was both exciting and immersive. Developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft, the game promised a deep exploration of Pandora, and for me, it delivered on all fronts. From the moment I started playing, I was struck by the game’s visuals. The beauty of Pandora pops off with screen with incredible detail and vibrance – every glowing plant, towering floating mountain, and intricate detail of the environment was a feast for the eyes. The dynamic weather and day-night cycle added an extra layer of realism, making exploration feel truly alive and immersive. The gameplay should look and…

The Invincible (PC Review)

The Invincible was developed by Starward Industries and published by 11-bit Studios. It’s a loose adaptation of the popular 1964 Polish novel of the same name. When I say loose adaptation, I mean that it’s almost like a complimentary adaptation of the book because as I understand it there are new or different events and characters that don’t necessarily align directly with the book. If you’re new to this channel, know that I hate spoilers and I always try to avoid them so you shouldn’t be too worried. There may be some small minor bits of information but nothing that the trailer doesn’t show you. The Invincible puts players in control of Yasna who wakes up confused and lacking memory of how she got there…

The Crew Motorfest

The Crew Motorfest was developed by Ivory Tower and published by Ubisoft. I love some racing games especially the Forza Horizon series so it was especially exciting to see that there was another challenger in this space. The Crew Motorfest is heavily inspired by the Horizon series and I honestly don’t think that’s a bad thing. The moment you fire it up for the first time and take control, those inspirations slap you right in the face immediately. The vibrant open world is set in the beautiful tropical paradise of Hawaii all surrounded by a festival celebrating car and race culture. It feels familiar and safe but that’s ok. This shift in direction is a good thing and gamers will really appreciate it. The first…
