Film Review: Robin Hood

May 31st, 2010 | by T. Andrew
Posted In: Blog

Robin Hood stars Russell Crowe in a Ridley Scott film that tells the back-story of the fabled “do-gooder”, up to the very moment the “rob from the rich to give to the poor” business plan is born.

April 14th, 2010 | by T. Andrew
Posted In: Blog

I was meaning to review the stunning “Heavy Rain”, a Playstation3 exclusive as I completed one play-through, but thought I might compare it to another big social gaming favorite “Bubble Island” by Wooga on Facebook.

How To Train Your Dragon is the latest offering from the venerable Dreamworks Animation. DWA is second only to Disney Pixar (Pixar themselves second to none) in the CG animated feature film field.
