  • Fright Night (2011) Review: aka David Tennant is a Bad-Ass MoFo.

    I’ve never been a huge fan of horror movies, but when I heard that David Tennant, the most amazing 10th Doctor from Doctor Who, was going to be in the remake of the 1985 cult-classic Fright Night, I knew there was a very good chance I was going to go see it. The story revolves…

  • Warning: Read This Before Playing Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood

    There are a few things I need to warn you guys about before you settle in to play this awesome game. 1) Prepare to learn a foreign language (or two).
