There is a place in Hollywood where some of the greatest movies never made spend their days. It is known in the industry and by movie fans around the world as “Development Hell”. The movies that end up in this purgatory not because the aren’t potentially great ideas but because of rewrites, casting or location […]
Game Review: Jump Into The Action With ‘Metal Gear Solid HD Collection’
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection’s title is somewhat misleading. This is not a collection of all of the Metal Gear Solid games as the name implies. MGSHDC consists of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, which was previously released on the Playstation Portable. One might expect that […]
Game Review: An Immersive Experience Awaits In ‘Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’
I eagerly anticipated Skyrim’s release despite not having played the other entries in the Elder Scrolls series. I am a huge fan of Bethesda Studios’ Fallout series, and the previews of Skyrim, also developed by Bethesda, depicted Skyrim as a medieval version of Fallout. As it turns out, the previews were pretty accurate. Skyrim is […]
Review: Van Halen Triumphantly Return With “A Different Kind of Truth”
“A Different Kind of Truth” is Van Halen’s first studio album since 1998’s disappointing “Van Halen 3” and the band’s first with David Lee Roth on vocals since 1983’s “1984.” I was skeptical after hearing the first single, “Tattoo,” but after positive word of mouth, I decided to give ADOKT a listen. I sure am […]

Movie Review: ‘One For the Money’ Starring Katherine Heigl
The movie adaptation of Janet Evanovich’s book, “One For the Money,” was torn apart by the press. A reviewer for New York Magazine headlined his piece, “Don’t Spend Money on One for the Money.” Critics describe the film as “unnatural,” “not worth it,” “painful,” and simply “bad” and “void of romance and laughs.” Ouch. I’m not […]
Killer Game Review: ‘Saints Row: The Third’ Charges Into Action!
Saints Row: The Third is THQ’s latest entry in the Saints Row series, which began as a tongue-in-cheek social commentary much like Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto franchise. As Grand Theft Auto veered more towards reality, Saints Row plunged headfirst into the absurd. The Third continues the plunge, as it is more ridiculous than its predecessor. […]
