Man of Steel
It may be because I came in with pretty low expectations – considering that so many of my friends appear to not like this movie – but I ended up rather enjoying this. As big a comic geek as I am, I have never liked Superman, but I thought this was a pretty good take…

Monsters University
I’m a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie, considering that I don’t have any particularly strong love for the first one (liked it, but don’t remember loving it). I really, really liked this one, thought it was a fun story, and pretty damn funny. I mean, it’s no Wall-E or Up, but…

Grand Theft Auto V
Yes, like everyone else on this planet, I’m playing Grand Theft Auto V, and frankly, having an absolute blast. I could just drive around Los Santos for hours and hours and hours… (and yes, even cycling is super fun).

Beware the Batman
I hadn’t heard of this show and just happened to come across a clip, and so decided to check it out. I’m really in love with the visuals – it’s animated in CG, but still has designs that aren’t that far off from the classic Bruce Timm look we’re used to seeing with animated Batman.…

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
OK, silly title aside – Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as opposed to who’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? – I thought the first episode was pretty good. It was funnier than I expected – some nice Whedonisms – and, come on, who’s not going to watch a show with a flying car?

After Earth
Came at this with extremely low expectations, considering I’d heard nothing particularly good about it, and now I know why. It starts off good, I liked the setup, the world they inhabit, the tech designs. Then you meet Will Smith’s character, an absolute bore. Smith Jr. is more just annoying than boring, and so it…

Final Fantasy XIV
I love this game so much. Sure, I was frustrated during the first weeks because of the issues with the servers, not being able to get on to play, but things are normal now, and it’s a joy to hop in and have some adventures in this world. I’m also lucky that I have a…

This Is the End
Holy shit did I ever laugh my head off while watching this – one of the funniest flicks I’ve watched in a while. Sure, it’s puerile as hell, but oh-so-much fun. The Franco/McBride argument about jerking off had me in tears. Sure, there’s also the fact that I like all of these people in the…
