80. Suikoden II (1998) One of the greatest and most celebrated JRPGs of all time. Sadly, I was never able to play this pirate-quest of a game until recently when Konami released it on the PSN. I was blown away. I can’t believe that a game that came out in 1998 (best.year.ever?) was able...

I am a person who has always loved video games. I began playing them when I received my NES as a gift on my second birthday. Since then video games and I have shared a love/love relationship. They’re my escape, my doorway into different worlds, and a way to decompress after a long day....

It doesn’t take long for The Witch to make a lasting impression. We meet the title character very early on. She’s hidden in shadows, obscured by branches, and in the midst of doing something unspeakable. Her actions are further obscured by the awful sounds made by her walking stick and her rapid, shallow breathing. Writer-director Robert...

Before we begin, I want to explain that I have a bit of a complicated relationship with Deadpool. I like him, in limited doses. He’s like that friend you had in college who just couldn’t seem to leave that mindset. He belches, farts, makes off-color comments, and it’s funny, but if you have to...

Now that 2015 is over, it’s time to look back on the films that had the most profound effect on me. Of all the lists I write, this is always my favorite one (hence the length). As fun as it is to trash something, it’s far more fun to praise something. And I hope...

It’s list season, people! As the last bits of egg nog enter our bloated bellies, we sit and look back on the year that was. The 15th year of the 21st century was a bit of a sneaky year. We had some HUGE announcements (FF7 Remake!?), baffling news stories (Kojima vs. Konami), and some...

Continuing my annual year end barrage of LISTS, I hereby present the most disappointing films of 2015. These are not the movies that are merely bad. Not the Paranormal Activities, the Green Infernos, the Adam Sandler films, or the Ride Alongs. Those films are easy targets. These are the films that should have been great but were instead massive...

The year is almost at an end and that means one thing for people who write about movies and TV: it’s time for LISTS!!! Best of, Worst of, Most Bizarre, Most Disappointing, you name it and we’ll list it. We do this cuz we’re a bunch of opinionated assholes with too much time on...

How To Talk To A Fanboy: An Olive Branch
Ever since I forced myself into a mainstay position as a PopChomp staff writer, I’ve made it a point to character assassinate A-list Hollywood director Zack Snyder. This is because I hate Zack Snyder’s films. I hate everything about his juvenile, pretentious, and sexually aberrated aesthetic. I don’t merely think he’s a bad filmmaker...

Spectre Failed To Reinvent The Modern Blockbuster. Shall We Burn It?
Imagine climbing inside a private jet piloted by Sir Roger Moore. His blood alcohol content is 30% above the legal limit because he has been drinking vodka martinis all day. He declares his intentions to fly around the world, thwarting evil wherever he can – from Mexico City to the Swiss Alps – and...
