I’ve only read really good reviews about the Pixar movie, Wall-E. The local paper where I live gave it 5 stars and my fellow average dude said, “it’s really really good”, a review that will surely make it on the DVD cover. Now you can’t beat that right. Well it is a children’s movie so what do all the kids seeing it think. PIxar is known for throwing in many jokes meant for the parent that often get overlooked by the core audience, the children.

The fellas over at CollegeHumor.com got the 411 on just what the kids thought of this new Pixar flick:

The Nintendo Wii has been one of the biggest successes in video game history. I have no statistical data with which to back that statement, but take my word for it. Damn near everyone I know owns a Wii, including my mom. Even now, a year and a half after its launch, you’re lucky if you find one available to buy without checking eBay.

Nintendo has repeated this success with Wii Fit, a new game/peripheral bundle that gets you up off the couch and into various yoga poses, strength training exercises, and balance games. Wii Fit is pretty much as hard to find as the Wii itself, so obviously there’s a ton of hype surrounding it. Can this thing possibly live up to such expectations? Let me tell you, it absolutely does.

Anyone who owned a Nintendo 64 or a Nintendo Gamecube has probably heard of Super Smash Bros. It’s a series of fighting games that pits a bunch of famous Nintendo characters against each other in fierce battles to the death. For a Nintendo fan, there’s nothing cooler than playing as Mario and being able to beat the crap out of Princess Peach.

Nintendo recently released the third game in the series called Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Despite a few shortcomings, I completely recommend this game for any Nintendo fan who owns a Wii. (more…)

I’ve spent the past two days with my ass glued to my couch rockin’ out with the likes of Pat Benetar, Metallica, and Poison. While it sounds like a stoner’s daydream, I’ve actually been playing Guitar Hero 3 on my XBox 360. After beating the game on its Medium difficulty and suffering a wicked hand cramp as a result, I feel like I’ve experienced enough to recommend it to anyone with a video game console and a desire to have fun.

Every once in a while, a product comes along that makes us all smack our foreheads and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” That’s exactly what came to my mind when I saw the N-Ice Rack. It’s a simply brilliant concept and a product that will come in handy at quite a few parties. (more…)

I’m the kind of guy that loves the idea of starting a new, epic game, especially when said game gets really high reviews all around. Unfortunately, I’m also the kind of guy that quickly gets caught up in other things (namely, life), forgets what I had been doing in said game, and then quits playing it due to frustration at having no idea what’s going on. Call of Duty 4 was different, for better or worse. It’s a white-knuckle action shooter that’s pretty short overall, but it’s definitely worth the cost of admission. (more…)

As I’m sure you know by now, the purpose of this site is to provide you with simple reviews of things so that you can make a quick decisions as to whether or not you might be interested in them. Well here’s my simple review of the recently released movie, Cloverfield: It’s amazing, go see it now.

That’s really all you need to know. If you’re interested in knowing the reasons for my opinion, please continue. (more…)

It’s rare that a movie can completely surprise me nowadays. Trailers usually give so much of a movie away that by the time you’ve finally watched it, you feel like you had already seen it once before. That was not the case for me when I saw I Am Legend. I went into it completely unaware of the plot and I think it helped me enjoy the movie a lot more than if I knew exactly what to expect. (more…)

The holidays are upon us and what is better than sitting down and watching your favorite classic movie like A Christmas Story, Scrooge, or how about a throat slashing musical? Uh, yeah. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are at it again. Another dark depressing movie set to a classical tune and song, Sweeney Todd is a depressing tale of a barber that was thrown in jail on false charges for 15 years. His wife and infant child were taken from him. Upon his return to London, he meets a girl (Helena Bonham Carter) that runs a meat pie bakery that helps him set his revenge on the man that set him up.

I am a huge fan of Apple products. With each new product release, I have to try to justify why I need it so that I don’t feel guilty when I cave in and buy it. With the release of the redesigned iPod shuffle, I found myself in quite a predicament. I loved the new design, but I already had four iPods (yes, 4) so how could i possibly justify getting a fifth?
