I always enjoy Moviebob's videos because he bothers to analyze things beyond the surface level, which some people find no value in, sadly. Whether one agrees with him or not, his points are at least thought-provoking, and the inevitable fanboy rage will no doubt spike page hits for The...

The Kobayashi Maru...KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! Except for that German dude who was cured with a bone marrow transplant...I think he was only at the HIV stage, though. So, leukemia + HIV = Win? Take that, Magic Johnson! :P

Holy crap! How could I forget Brazil? That one will scar you for life! :) The Red Violin is probably a great choice as well...A beautiful train wreck from start to finish!

I can think of no film more emotionally devastating than The Fountain, but a lot of people seem to think it's pompous drivel. It probably helps to be an athiest/agnostic for it to really hit home, though. If you don't mind subtitles, I can remember the French film Love Me if You Dare being...

As a couple of others have stated, it feels more and more like Rebecca Mayes genuinely dislikes gaming in and of itself. It's not the same good-natured fun as when, say, Yahtzee rags on the Total War games for being "glorified spreadsheets." There is a palpable disdain for gamer culture in...

If we were talking about a list that contained preferred hair colors and favorite vacation destinations, then, sure, it would be superficial. That's neither here nor there, though, of course. Religion IS a big deal. If one person's deepest beliefs, hopes, and dreams are considered quaint or...

Contrary to popular belief, everyone has expectations or "requirements" when it comes to a significant other (usually minimum levels of attractiveness, motivation, etc.). It's probably for the best that she is up front with this religion thing, honestly. It would have just come to bite you in...

I was a bit underwhelmed by the campaign's storyline at first, but this was more than made up for by superior gameplay that never got stale. The funny thing is, I actually watched my fiancé play the original Starcraft on her Mac off-and-on this past month (She wanted to start from the...

Something in the film that surprised me was the use of automobiles some 30 years after the war. Gasoline degrades after about three months in storage without stabilizer. Even with stabilizer, it lasts only about a year and a half. Side note: I had to chuckle when thinking about the odd...

I think people who dislike The Catcher in the Rye because they despise Holden Caulfield are missing the point. He isn't a likeable character on many levels, but he is a believable one. So many stories have Mary Sues and two-dimensional characters who always do what they believe is right and...

Either way he is wrong, so the poll results should remain unchanged. :P

I actually hadn't planned on buying FO:NV due to a combination of general disappointment with FO3's story and Obsidian's track record of woefully broken games. I ended up receiving the collector's edition as a gift, though, and am I ever glad I did! New Vegas actually has heart and...

The outrage over this decision perplexes me. People aren't just innocently using hacks in single player to "better enjoy the game." They are doing it for free achievement points and character portraits. There is no other reason to use these "trainers." Want to cheat in single player? Do...

TL;DR Version: Has technology ever inconvenienced you?

A film about Facebook and co-starring Justin Timberlake receives wide critical praise. Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction...
