May 29, 2012 brianmortimer Leave a comment

Cannon Cat, by Loqheart, is an iOS only game where a flightless bird named Evil Emu, out of jealousy has captured all the flying fish, known as “Skyfish,” trapping them in bubbles. Evil Emu, with the help of his army of flightless birds and evil robots attempt to give the skies back to birds and birds alone. Only way to free these encapsulated Skyfish is from the sheer force of Meo blasting paws first through the bubbles they are trapped within. MEOW!

May 25, 2012 carrielynnreinhard Leave a comment

With over 900 million users, it’s hard to simply call Facebook a social network. As a virtual community, it has the third largest population in the world, and could surpass India to become second only to China. As Facebookistan, it generates revenue and investments that rival many other national economies. People live and die, meet and separate, laugh and cry, […]

Catching Up: When the Wind Blows

May 21, 2012 danschindel Leave a comment

We all have gaps in our cinematic knowledge, films which, if we confess our ignorance of, someone, somewhere will say, “How have you not seen that?!” Catching Up is about these films, and viewing them so long after seemingly everyone else has. Some of these entries may be shocking, some are embarrassing, but all of them are classics. But When the Wind Blows is […]

Movie Review: The Dictator

May 19, 2012 danschindel Leave a comment

Man, what happened to Sacha Baron Cohen? It’s hard to believe that the razor mind behind Da Ali G Show and Borat has reduced himself to… this. Each new outing with Cohen playing a kooky, un-PC foreigner has been a huge disappointment of diminishing returns. First Bruno misfired, and now taking his schtick out of the real world into the fictional realm hasn’t […]

Cinematic Soulmates: ¡Three Amigos!, A Bug’s Life, and Galaxy Quest

May 18, 2012 christopherolson Leave a comment

In my last column, I discussed how cinema is essentially a medium that is built upon its own history, with countless directors using their own films as excuses to pay homage to those that inspired them. Whether it come in the form of lifting a particular bit of technical flair like a camera movement or editing choice, or the outright […]

Review: Frisbee Forever

May 15, 2012 brianmortimer Leave a comment

Finally you can toss a Frisbee and actually control it during flight! I remember all the years of looking like an idiot at the park as I toss a Frisbee to a friend, and then twisting and leaning my body in various directions as if somehow that would get the failing Frisbee to mimic my movements and go where I […]

Dr. Geek: Threats to the Future of Television

May 11, 2012 carrielynnreinhard 2 comments

Film and television geeks like to watch copious amounts of either film or television. Their whole geek-cred starts there, and then it may extend into other pursuits, from attending film festivals to find fresh faces of hip directors, to attending pop culture conventions to get the autograph from the TV star of that series no one else has ever heard […]

Review: Poke Fish

May 9, 2012 brianmortimer Leave a comment

Poke.. poke…poke. Sounds simple enough right? Think again. There is a lot of water between the dark ocean floor and the crashing waves at the surface. Poke Fish, developed by Menki Mobile, is basically a digital paddle-ball game. Your goal is to help a little benthic anglerfish, named Mr. Justin Fish, find his way up from the depths of the […]
