I have found over the years that there are films that I enjoyed when I was younger which I don’t enjoy anymore. So it being years since I’ve seen The Big Lebowski, which is making its Blu-ray debut on August 16th, I can’t honestly say whether I’d still enjoy it as much as I did. [...]

American Graffiti is another of many movies that suffer due to generational gaps. It being from the early seventies, there is a substantial time disparity. When it came to a movie like Rocky, I was able to appreciate it more because I did watch it as a youngster, even though there was still a fairly [...]

Kung Fu Panda 2, whose name doesn’t really denote anything all that original, was surprisingly funny. You’d think that it being a sequel to a kids’ movie it would be dull and completely trite, but it wasn’t. It had some of your standard child movie humor, but, and this is what really got me laughing, [...]

Yes, I could have done this sooner, but time is needed to fully process… alright! I’m lazy! Here are my thoughts. The gameplay was rock solid, with few initial connection issues [...]
