After the failed attempt in 1995 to adapt the Judge Dredd comics into a live action movie starring Sylvester Stallone only resulting in it being a dumb guilty pleasure at best, there was a big chance that would kill chances for a faithful adaptation to ever be produced. Everyone mainstream has viewed Judge Dredd as a joke over the years, in the same fashion people did with Batman after the Adam West TV Show. But just like with Tim Burton giving Batman a more serious dark take in 1989, a unknown director named Peter Travis gave us a more serious dark take on Dredd last year.
However, the first time I saw a trailer of it, I was very "meh, whate

Top 10 Most Unoriginal Movies Of All Time
I think a worse crime a movie can make than being bad is to literally have nothing new to give the audience. Might be a movie people still enjoy or even love - but since they just in the movie use what is always being used in movies, that means they do not need to think about how to make it and just automatically make them, soulless and feeling pointless to people like me.
It's all a matter of opinion maybe either way, but here we go.
10. The Shawshank Redemption
Not only do I think this is the most overrated movie of all time... but it's also incredibly unoriginal to me. It's just another prison break movie, with absolutely no new interesti

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 Review
You know, I've avoided this movie for a long time because of it's reputation and how pointless of a remake it seems like. But now lately, I saw it on sale for an incredibly cheap price. And you know, I tend to be more forgiving on these horror remakes made by this company Michael Bay keeps producing than most people are. I actually liked the two Texas Chainsaw movies rebooting the old one, even though I think the old one is better. I dig the Friday the 13th remake and I think it's the second best of his movies second to Freddy Vs Jason (my opinion, don't attack me for it). So I thought I might be able to appreciate this movie more than most o

Alice in Wonderland 1951 Review
Growing to become a huge fan of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking glass, I think this movie is... okay. Like, maybe slightly above mediocre. People who reviews it seems to love it a lot more than I do. I've rewatched it several times to see what it is about it that rubs me the wrong way despite having good moments. But let's start with what is good about it.
The visuals and animations are pretty nice and interesting in the movie. Lots of crazy stuff happens. Though, it's not precisely the most breathtaking Disney animation - they've certainly done better both before and after this movie. BUT it's still

Injustice: Gods Among Us Review
Ever since I got into DC Comics as much as I am now, I've been thinking to myself: Man... what if they made a fighting game with nothing but established DC Comics characters in it fighting each other, and if the game worked and was fantastic? What if the levels where interactive and made you feel like you took a part in events right out from the comics in a cinematic way? What if all the characters where free to work the way they are supposed to, without any limits or worry about balancing it out and just make sure it still does work and somehow is balanced? I know it will never happen, but... I can dream. I mean, man... what if the game even

The Dark Knight Rises - Second Review
My first review isn't required to read in order to read this one - but if interested, there's a link to it in the description.
I know I've already been writing one review of this movie. But... not only do I feel like I was being too nice to the movie - I have additional points to make about it. This movie just simply fascinates me with how horrible it actually is. I've seen it 3 times in total now - it gets worse with each viewing. I felt uncomfortable the third time I watched it.
Yes, of course you're allowed to love the movie. Lots of people do. But I hate when people are blinded by their love of something and ignores all the dumb flaws. Y
I feel like talking about this, because I think the RPG genre is the most misused and abused gaming genre ever. And also because... I think it's the most awesome genre - not just for me personally, but I think it should be considered that objectively. Not everyone's cup of tea, of course not. But the thing is - the potential of roleplaying games is just endless. You can include things from all kinds of other gaming genres in there. Action, sandbox, fighting, racing, dancing, FPS, RTS, puzzle, adventure, platform... pick one. It can contain ANYTHING... in theory, of course. That's why I think it's an objectively awesome genre - it can have any
