Paul: Interview with two of the stars, Frost & Pegg

March 24, 2011 Features

By Jim Ferguson & David Entin To their fans, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg epitomize nerd humor. They’re the Star Wars referencing, zombie bashing, British comics that defined a whole generation of film nerds. They’ve been making us laugh with Spaced and Shawn of the Dead, as well as their latest movie Paul. After a press [...]

Wall Street sequel can’t match magic of original classic

September 23, 2010 Features

Written by: David Entin It’s hard to love Gordon Gekko – a still-fantastic Michael Douglas – and harder to forget him after his luminous performance in Wall Street. Yet, after sitting through an overzealous two-plus-hour sequel, it is even harder to care. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is coated in a promising sheen, but readily [...]

Worms: Reloaded Written By David Entin The worms have been tossing their arsenals of hand grenades, explosive cows, air strikes, super sheep, lasers, and silly hats at one another for going on 15 years. It’s a popular, even venerable series among gamers, and the latest incarnation prepares to rekindle players with their love [...]

Starcraft 2: Coming soon following beta

April 29, 2010 Features

Written by: David Entin In the same vein that chess would be considered a sport, Starcraft must also fit the mold, although it had the good decency to amend its title to E-Sport. And the title is not one loosely earned; now 12 years after release, it still sees massive player volume at all hours [...]

April 22, 2010 Columns

Written by: David Entin Before any fans of the Splinter series knew better, Conviction was the next logical step in the franchise’s history. The last title, Double Agent, had popped out just about four years ago, and had been somewhat of a disappointment to the fans. It had felt stale, added little, and lost some [...]

April 8, 2010 Columns

Written by: David Entin Rainbow Six’s video game series Splinter Cell is specifically catered to die-hard loyalists which was notorious for its unwelcomed learning curve and rejection of other game play styles. Players took on the role of Sam Fisher, super spy steeped in evergreen night vision and hidden in shadows. Game play was slow [...]

It’s time to shake that weight away

April 8, 2010 Features

Written by: David Entin At first glance, the phallic appearance and functionality of the Shake Weight may be off-putting to the average user. It is single handedly the most absurdly parody-prepped exercise tool on the market today, and all of the different routines make you look absurd. But the physics should be sound, and upon [...]

This Column is Not Yet Rated – From soundtrack to acting, Pirate Radio rocks

March 4, 2010 Columns

Written by: David Entin The movie Pirate Radio is a strange minx. It’s a quirky, energetic romp feeding off of its own exhilarating sense of nostalgia. This is a tale of irreverent sentimentality. It’s a fine wine, so appreciation goes to the older, rock-loving spirits. The re-branded, re-edited for the Americas romp Pirate Radio is [...]

Bioshock 2: Interesting plot, but not much improvement from original

March 4, 2010 Features

Written by: David Entin Rapture was a leaking, rusted, urban sprawl built in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Founded by the industrialist Andrew Ryan, it was a city of the spirit. Every man earned his share, every man was his own ruler, and every man very rapidly turned on the man next to him. [...]

The Wolfman will have you howling for more

February 25, 2010 Features

Written by: David Entin The moon is full and the beast is on the hunt. The great Universal Monsters have truly gone through countless iterations of classic infamy and festering cinematic afterbirth. These were characters of the highest level of recognition; Frankenstein with his great, green, bolted neck; the scaly bastard from the Black Lagoon; [...]

Shutter Island disappoints regardless of Scorsese-DiCaprio collaboration

February 25, 2010 Features

Written by: David Entin Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are a winning combination. They almost seem like a guaranteed hit, glancing back at Boston’s own Departed to Gangs of New York and The Aviator. But Shutter Island stumbles over this legacy and the heavy expectations on its shoulders. The beginning is sublime Scorsese gold; two [...]

This Column is Not Yet Rated – Despite glitches, Mass Effect 2 great improvement

February 11, 2010 Columns

Written by: David Entin Mass Effect 1 was one hell of an achievement. Granted, the gameplay itself left much to be desired, but the density of the story was only dwarfed by the superb quality of the delivery. It was a space opera with planet hopping elements and unique worlds vast and exciting enough to [...]
