    Hell or High Water - No Country for Any Man

    Agree with that score 100%. Easy movie of the year.

    Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates - Summer 2016's Funniest Movie

    I have to agree with you here. Funny as hell. a TON of great (and VERY funny) female characters - beyond the 2 leads.

    Review Scores are Shit

    I'm personally not on board with this Pollyanna-ish quest to rid the gaming world of review scores. It didn't take an industry-wide mind-meld for critics, as a whole, to tell you that Duke Nukem Forever sucked, or that Uncharted 4 is great. Some critics value certain elements that other...

    Alice Through the Looking Glass - Don't Waste Our Time

    I'm very much NOT a fan of animated films, but the first movie and this one somehow did it for me. Depp is, surprisingly less annoying than I would have predicted.

    X-Men - Apocalypse - It's the End of the World as We Know It

    We are going to need to see these big, bloated superhero movies re-invented before long, and I'm not talking in the Deadpool or Guardians of the Galaxy sort of way. Feels like a VERY long time since The Dark Knight did exactly what I'm talking about. Or the original Matrix. We can't settle...

    The Nice Guys - Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Repeat

    Here's my specific criticism - they dwell on the teenage girl too long - and it's creepy. The two leads are much funnier than I figured they'd be. Worth seeing.

    Neighbors 2 - Sorority Rising - Girls Just Want to Have Fun

    Why is it that Zac Efron is now super-appealing? thought he was a joke initially, but the guy can act Really steals the movie.

    OpenCritic Review Data May Have Popped Up on Metacritic

    Yeah, I got that sense too. Odd - Meta links to Escapist. Don't they? Wonder why they've jumped in to support the new kids? Fishy...

    OpenCritic Review Data May Have Popped Up on Metacritic

    Hillarious. A site which only exists by taking all of the sources from GameRankings and Metacritic is having a tizzy fit because a few of their altered links ended up on a competitor's site. Moronic.

    Hardcore Henry - The FPS Video Game Movie

    I think that's a little harsh. I agree almost completely with Josh Rothkopf of Time Out New York. It's a thrill ride that could be extremely tedious and boring had it not been so artfully crafted.

    Take My Money: Batman v Superman Who Are You Rooting For?

    Agree with Objectable - Wonder Woman. I'm rooting for a film that won't bore me to tears, but I have no faith that it'll come close to the Dark Knight series.

    The Worst Companies in The World

    Umbrella in the same list as EA? Heresy.

    Escapist Podcast: 214: Is Anyone Excited for Batman v Superman?

    Not so much. looks pretty horrible, to be frank. Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon this year ("Civil War" - X vs. X). Next.

    Own 10 Or More Games On Steam? You Are Too Core For Many Developers

    Why do they bother holding a GDC any more?

    Allegiant - Sets Up Dominoes to Knock Down Next Year

    I admire your courage in seeing this one. Loved the first Divergent, the second one was HORRIBLE... I've learned my lesson from The Hunger Games that only the first YA Novel movie in a series is good. The rest is crap.
