Kept thinking it was up for Sound Editing, which TTT won last year. Impressive, since AotC had once of the best sound mixes in ages.

Wait... Isn't RotK 7/8 here?

My dad highly enjoyed Army of Darkness, and my mom enjoys the entire Halloween series. This news threw me off since my dad doesn't enjoy a movie unless it has aliens or sharks in it, and my mom isn't big into the horror genre.

My two favorite endings couldn't be anymore opposite, and are both from two movies that I feel are only average. The first is the ending to Desperate Measures. The last line and the quickest cut to credits I have ever seen just made my day. The second is the ending to... Titanic. It feels...

I enjoyed the hell out of the menu animations. The tranfer is clean, and comes close to the clarity that the Imax presentation delivered. The menu design is much more structured and easier to navigate than the original DVD. Excellent buy for a great price. 4 million copies sold on opening...

My second favorite movie of the year, right behind, of all things, The Matrix Reloaded. Every scene and nearly every line had weight and meaning. While I agree some areas could have been cut, I still feel that the pacing is perfect. Previous films with impressive gunfights (Heat, Way of...

The Rundown (formerly Helldorado / Welcome to the Jungle) View The Trailer Here While many viewed the new trailer to Robert Rodriguez's "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" before "Bad Boys II" last night, select audiences also were able to view the new trailer to Peter Berg's "The Rundown"...

I saw the movie at the Lennox 24 tonight, and it was a mad house. A MAD HOUSE. 24 screens, all showing the same movie. Multiple showtimes all through the night, and showed no signs of slowing down. The crowd wasn't electric, but they responded at all the right moments. The good news was that...

What is the Matrix Reloaded? A faithful installment to the series, and an all around satisfying ride. Pros: Nearly everything. The humor, the music, the images, the underlying themes and all around plot are top grade. Cons: Odd dialogue. Lazy and/or Odd Editing. I would say cut...

Finished with Tesshu's missions and now for the final impressions. I have to agree with a few assessments on this title in that it could have been more. It could have told a deeper story, presented some more light sourcing effects and could have aimed for a less repetitive design. However, I...

Finished both Rikimaru's & Ayame's missions. Happy to say that I decimated Uncle Tenrai both times with the Almighty-Wrath-of-Heaven-I-Just-Impaled-You-Dude-Move. The storyline, if you just play through as a single character and leave it there, is weak. However, while they may not be correctly...

Almost complete with the Rikimaru missions. This installment really knows how to extend out the gameplay. It has three separate characters to select, all with different variations in the missions. Then every level has three different layouts available once beaten. Each level has at least two...

Ninjas. Monkeys. Pie. The three universal elements that, if added to anything, becomes at the very least 900% cooler. Tenchu III:Wrath of Heaven doesn't have any monkeys, or pie as far as I can tell, but it makes up for it with enough assassin/demon/mecha ninjas to fill all of Florida...
