Bio: Chicago sport fan, die hard Chicago Bulls fan. Obviously like my film like most here, however you’ll find some of my writes to be a little personal and sometimes very critical. Specifically, if it’s stuff I relate to or in the case i feel is blatant, repetitive, and or disingenuous.

I am a huge fan of the incredibly stupid and cheesy Fast and Furious franchise, but I mostly identify as a horror nut with a strong inkling towards the Alien, Evil Dead, and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises.

Ya know that that saying “opinions are like assholes” well…doesn’t mean you have to be one. Cheers to film!

12% The Callisto Protocol (2022) - Rated 06 Aug 2023
"Glen Schofield’s return to survival horror since Dead Space is sadly underwhelming. Atheistically and graphically, The Callisto Protocol is a treat in the world of horror, and compliments its atmosphere extremely well. However, the core game itself is painfully dull. Between story and game progression that’s cliche and reminiscent of Dead Space, boss battles are lazy and the game’s movement system punishes you during these sequences. On top of that, it’s easy to cheese this game’s short runtime."
10 91% Call of Duty: Black Ops II (2012) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"After what was a slight misstep in MW3, BO2 got everything back on track. The multiplayer was good as it had ever been to this point, featuring great maps with new environments, more fleshed out weapon customization with its own new class system, and with the futuristic setting, just felt new at a time CoD was struggling to. The campaign was nothing to write home about, but between the multiplayer, zombies, and updates/DLC, BO2 capitalized in its most important components."
32% Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"MW3 felt like a respective step down from its previous two iterations. This when people started really questioning CoD fatigue as the game had little innovation, pretty average campaign, mediocre maps, and some horrible weapon balancing. Thats not even mentioning the horrible CoD: Elite system in place for new updates/DLC that was later dropped after its lone year here. This game was rushed and was kind of a surprising mediocre entry in the pinnacle of the franchise."
56% Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"Black Ops 1 was Treyarchs most refined project to this date. Lagging behind a little in what Infinity Ward had done with the MW sub series, Treyarch was looking to have its definitive series and this proved worthy. Black Ops wasnt perfect, but introduced plenty of iconic maps, solid weapons, and respectful updates/DLC in its own right. The campaign stood up to par with what to expect, and Chapter 2 of Zombies had some great maps and ideas that would later be expanded on. Very solid."
10 91% Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"This was Call of Duty at it’s peak. Modern Warfare 2 kinda took this franchise to another level in the gaming industry. Between a very good campaign, great multiplayer with updates, new maps, deeper weapon customization, and even weird game modes like a 3rd person version, MW2 just did a lot of things that left this game iconic, and that’s not even including the Spec Ops (IW’s 3rd game mode since Treyarcg did zombies) providing once again, a great overall package to the franchise."
32% Call of Duty: World at War (2008) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"World at War is one of the more impressive and frustrating CoD games of all time. Its where I got my start, but its campaign literally devolves into grenade spam that is impossible to get through on higher difficulties. Its multiplayer was interesting, especially with the inclusion on vehicles and big game modes. It took a sizable step from CoD4. However, zombies stole the show here. For its time, Zombies was like nothing else we had at this time for CoD fans. Good overall package."
12% Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"Modern Warfare (2007) was absolute staple for it’s time. Quite possibly might be the most influential shooter of all time, and kickstarted one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time in Call of Duty. However, over time the game has shown it’s cracks. Even in the later remaster released in 2016, the games have made so many advancements since then. It’s still has it’s great maps and smooth gameplay, but it’s a pretty barebones shooter with a solid campaign at this point."
74% Alien: Isolation (2014) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"Being that Alien is my favorite movie of all time, I have some bias, but Alien: Isolation is by far the best Alien game we’ve ever got. Level design is damn near perfect, leaving the atmosphere to be captured really well. The step back from the traditional shooters really tops this off, opting for slow pace that feels more in tune with the franchise’s roots. The Alien, and it’s dynamic A.I, make this the make terrifying the Aliens have ever been. It will be hard to ever top this."
56% The Evil Within 2 (2017) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"For a sequel, The Evil Within 2 does a lot to distance itself from it’s predecessor. Between sandbox sections, refined gameplay, the removal of cinematic black bars, and very goofy story, TEW2 feels like the studio tried blending new mechanics (like most sequels should) and also trying to appease a more mainstream crowd. It honestly feels like Mikami tried catching that RE4 magic once again in attempt to shift the franchise a bit. It still is quite good, but TEW1 is clearly superior."
32% The Evil Within: The Consequence (2015) - Rated 13 Jul 2021
"As the final chapter in her own story-driven DLC, Kidmans The Consequence is really just more of the first installment. There isnt anything really new in particular to gameplay, and thats good enough for me for the most part. The story is justifiable enough, and didnt make Me regret my playthrough. However, this does just enough, but really doesnt break any ground. Wouldve been nice to see a little more to it, but I think all fans of TEW would get enjoyment out of this."
