Video Game Film Fridays – Resident Evil (2002) – Goes Nice With A Lovely Cup Of T…Virus.
Hoo boy, I guess this is my next six Fridays. I was originally going to end this season of reviewing Video Game Movies with the Resident Evil series, but I […]
Stu’s Film Fridays – Video Game Movie Review – Need for Speed (2014) – Finally, a Racy Film
Yet not the raciest film that Dakota Johnson has ever been in (I’m referring to 21 Jump Street. It’s got that car chase scene). Need for Speed is a mega […]
Stu’s Film Fridays – Video Game Movie Review – Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) – If I Could Turn Back Time…
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time could have been the one. The one film to break through the now very well established glass ceiling of video game movie adaptations. […]
Stu’s Film Fridays (on Sunday) – Warcraft (2016) – Horde On, I’m Coming Home
I’m going to be totally honest – I really was not looking forward to watching Warcraft at all. Having never played the original Warcraft games and being a long lapsed […]
Stu’s Film Fridays – Video Game Movie Review – Max Payne (2008) – Payneful
Now if there was ever a video game that could make a good movie it was Max Payne, a neo noir action game with cinematic gameplay thanks to the introduction […]
Stu’s Film Fridays – Video Game Movie Review – Hitman (2007) – Deadly Boring
On paper, the Hitman franchise should work well as a movie. It’s all about an assassin trained from birth to be the perfect killer boi, going all around the world […]
Stu’s Film Fridays – Video Game Movie Review – DOOM (2005) – DOOMed from the Start
There is something about the current situation we’re in that lead to this moment. As of right now we are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic that has lead […]
Video Game Movie Review – Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) – What a Carrey On
Sonic the Hedgehog is the single earliest memory I have of playing a video game and I’ve always carried a fondness for the Blue Blur. Despite some iffy games in […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life (2003)
What happens when a mediocre film gets a sequel? Most of the time you get forgettable garbage – albeit the kind of film that you might see on TV quite […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – Tekken (2009) – Probably Not the Worst Film About Iron Fisting
I love Tekken. If there is one arcade-style fighting series I actually like and have even a small percentage of knowledge about how to win (I boast a 35% win […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – EVO Week – DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
This is gonna be a short review. I am not familiar at all with Dead or Alive as a series and after watching this film I feel like I know […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – EVO Week – Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)
I am starting to sense a pattern forming this week. Mortal Kombat was quite fun. MK: Annihilation was quite terrible. Street Fighter was very fun. Legend of Chun-Li? Well you […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – EVO Week – Street Fighter (1994)
After quite liking Mortal Kombat and hating Annihilation, it’s safe to say that I have already had mixed feelings this week. Street Fighter was always going to go in one […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – EVO Week – Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)
The first Mortal Kombat movie is very flawed but it is at least enjoyable to some degree. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was a chance to fix those flaws and provide us […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – EVO Week – Mortal Kombat (1995)
It’s EVO this weekend and since there is a bunch of movies based on fighting games it felt only natural that we would tie the two together. A movie review […]
XtA’s Video Game Movie Festival – Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
It’s quite easy to forget just how huge of a phenomenon Lara Croft was when she first burst into the scene with her double guns (not an euphemism) and a […]
