    iPad App Review: Avengers Origins: Hulk

    by Mike Favila, Reviewer

    After reading the fun Avengers Origins: Assemble! (read my review here), I was curious to see if there would be any major differences in the pacing of this app. With the same writer (Rich Thomas) and the same excitable narrator (Stan “The Man” Lee), would this just be more of the same? Amazingly, I found a more intereresting, engaging adventure.

    iPad App Review: Avengers Origins: Assemble!

    by Mike Favila, Reviewer

    With the upcoming theatrical release of the inevitable blockbuster The Avengers, Marvel have released two apps to tie in which should appeal to a younger audience. Avengers Origins: Assemble! is the first cannonball from the promotional might of Disney, but it’s charming on its own merits and hits the mark.

    Blu-ray Review: The Three Musketeers

    by Mike Favila, Reviewer

    As a relatively big fan of Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element), I was eager to check out her and husband Paul W.S. Anderson’s (Resident Evil Series) take on the classic book by Alexandre Dumas. Would The Three Musketeers blast away the Disney version starring Charlie Sheen (pre winning era)? I popped in my Blu-ray to find out.

    DVD Review: Project Nim

    Project Nim

    by Mike Favila, Reviewer

    After seeing Planet of the Apes in its many (and sometimes unwatchable) incarnations, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would this real life film on a champanzee raised as a human being be just as entertaining? Project Nim was spearheaded by James Marsh, the acclaimed director of Man On Wire, so I had a feeling this would be a documentary I could actually watch and enjoy in one sitting.
