Movie Review: Ben X

by Amy on February 12, 2010 at 9:49 AM

Ben X is an emotional and thought-provoking ride by first-time Belgium director Nic Balthazar. Watching the trailer you might be forgiven for thinking this is a movie about the dangers of online gaming. In fact MMORPGs are portrayed realistically and in a positive light.

Movie Review: Dragonlance – Dragons of Autumn Twilight

by Amy on June 16, 2009 at 6:29 AM

This film is bad. Really bad. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly bad it is. I mean you might have been appalled by The Crystal Skull but that’s just peanuts to this.
