Blu-ray Review: 6 Souls
It might not have been quite what I signed up for, but it was still a pretty good ride by the time I’d reached the end. The plot doesn’t smash you upside the head with the paranormal the way other films in the genre sometimes do. In fact, the paranormal elements really don’t come into full play until almost three quarters of the way through the movie. I’d venture into saying that up until that point, Moore’s character doesn’t even believe them to be occurring (and not in the way some horror films fall prey to, with her disbelieving things that are right in front of her).

Nintendo 3DS Review: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
The overall story in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask feels true to what has made the Professor Layton games into what they are: A story about people, whether those people are Professor Layton and Luke or the people who are out to stop them or occasionally the people who are simply caught in between. It’s a story about human nature, and how a failing doesn’t mean you’ve failed and doesn’t mean you can’t do better in the future. It’s a story about sometimes not being able to see the big picture and not understanding the potential repercussions of your actions.

Movie Review: Fast and Furious 6
Wuv…true wuv… Some sequels of cool originals just shouldn’t be made. The Boondock Saints II, The Hangover II (and now III), G.I. Joe: Retaliation. The Fast and Furious franchise somehow doesn’t fit that bill, ridiculous as it is. Director Justin…
