    $2.50 Reviews: There Will Be Blood (2007)

    Seems like that you didn't understand the movie. Daniel Plainview never does a good thing in the movie. Everything he does is so he can make more money. He was an asshole at the start, he was an asshole at the end. There is no slow descent, there is no madness there is nothing to corrupt...

    Sick of people indirectly insulting me because I like Transformers 3

    Not really no. It just shows that Michael Bay is a resourceful director. No wonder he manages to get his movies under budget and on schedule. To bad this talent is not being used on proper movies.

    Did L.A. Noire ever get, well..."noir?"

    L.A. Noire is really missing the noir feel. They created a story for a setting like Chinatown or LA Confidential, but try to pass it off as Double Indemnity or The Maltese Falcon. What happens is that it's somewhere stuck in the classic Film Noir and the Neo Noir style, thus not being anything...

    Why do people love Citizen Kane?

    Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of...

    Why do people love Citizen Kane?

    The movie is not about the twist. Stop thinking about the twist or Rosebud. It's just a tool to get things moving. Rosebud is not central to the life of Kane, it was just a part of it. Like the reporter at the end says "A piece of the puzzle". See Kane's life as a whole, and not just the...

    $2.50 Reviews: Inglourious Basterds (2009)

    My problem with this movie is that it feels like a collection of different movies with different tones, than a proper movie. The whole thing feels very disjointed. And that the opening scene was done better in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Though to be honest the title isn't about Brad Pitt...

    So, is Skyrim using GFWL or Steamworks?

    It just means that it's an exclusive to the Windows OS, not that it uses Live. If it just says Games for Windows it doesn't have Live. If the Live is underneath, it has.

    You get a hat for completing the game in SP. Maybe you get another if you finish Co-OP and other harder achievements.
