By Ian Rapoport Executive Arts Editor The Playstation 4 has been available for over a year now, but the lineup of games still lacks anything truly noteworthy. It is because of this drought of games […]
“Chappie” is marred with an overwhelming amount of problems. It is poorly cast, with one-dimensional characters and overwhelming conflicting stories. The film’s creative hero is the only element that holds it back from being a complete disaster. […]
By Ian Rapoport Executive Arts Editor When I sat down to watch the 87th-annual Academy Awards, I was disgruntled and annoyed at the thought of sitting through three hours of weak jokes and self-flattering speeches. […]
Movie theaters just might be dying. In 2014, 1.26 billion people bought theater tickets in North America. While this initially may seem like a large sum, this actually marks the lowest attendance at theaters since 1995.

Under the guidance of series director Masahiro Sakurai, “Super Smash Bros for the Wii U” contains everything that has come to be expected of the series: ridiculous gameplay with considerable respect toward the many games that are incorporated within it.

As the next film in Marvel’s behemoth “Avengers” series, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” proves to be a basic, easily-forgotten experience. Even though the film succeeds in being a thoroughly exciting flick, with constant action and upbeat writing, “The Winter Soldier” is marred by a lacking protagonist and a generally uninspired plot, robbing the film of any discernible aspects.

Like “Demon Souls” and “Dark Souls” before it, “Dark Souls 2” is a video game defined by its extreme difficulty. Video game developer From Software not only maintains the series’ precedent of challenging but fair combat, but the game is also refined, with minor tweaks across the board. This, coupled with the game’s distinctive multiplayer and massive open world, excels “Dark Souls 2” to heights not generally seen in a majority of video games.
