Video Game Review: ‘Puzzle Chronicles’ Barely Satisfies
Submitted by BrianTT on May 3, 2010 - 3:40pmVideo Game Rating: 3.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Those of us that are wildly addicted to “Bejeweled Blitz” and played through “Puzzle Quest” like a gleeful toddler with a new toy were pretty psyched that the developers of the latter, spectacular Nintendo DS title were releasing a DLC game called “Puzzle Chronicles”. Once again, our puzzle-loving persona could meld with the kid inside us who misses the days when he played Dungeons and Dragons in his basement. Sadly, “Puzzle Chronicles” only barely delivers.

Blu-Ray Review: ‘District 13: Ultimatum’ Falls Short of Predecessor
Submitted by mattmovieman on May 3, 2010 - 1:42pmCHICAGO – Parkour is a type of physical discipline well suited for the cinema. It trains mere mortals to move like supermen.

The only tools used by parkour practitioners are their own bodies and their surrounding environment. Buster Keaton would’ve excelled at this.
Blu-Ray Review: Glorious ‘Nine’ With Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard
Submitted by BrianTT on May 3, 2010 - 1:36pmCHICAGO – History will be kind to “Nine”. Due to wildly extreme expectations caused by the pedigree of the film’s cast, many critics and audiences dismissed Rob Marshall’s musical on its release in late 2009. “Nine” falls short of perfection but the Blu-ray release proves that it gets a lot closer than most people thought the first time they saw it.
Blu-Ray Review: John Carpenter’s ‘Escape From L.A.’ With Kurt Russell
Submitted by BrianTT on May 3, 2010 - 12:28pmCHICAGO – There is no Blu-ray justice. The great “Escape From New York” sits unavailable in HD, along with dozens of other great movies of its era, but the vastly inferior sequel “Escape From L.A.” lands on the format this week. “L.A.” isn’t a horrible film, but it works mostly because of the goodwill created by love for the original, which makes that film’s unavailability on the format all the more bewildering.
