Video Game Review: Judgment

Easily the most robust addition to the activities roster is drone racing. Although you will be called upon to use your drone during some story sections, the racing element is entirely optional and highly involved as parts for upgrading your drone are strewn about Kamurocho. The races above the city’s streets are fun, and beefing up your racer can be an addicting time waster.

Blu-ray Review: Wonder Park

With her mother gone away in an attempt to recover, June’s dad sends her off to math camp in an effort to reintegrate her with her peers. A farewell note convinces June that her dad can’t make it without her and sneaks off the bus to return home. In the forest she discovers Wonderland as a physical place, but it’s not the version from her imagination. Instead, the park has fallen into disrepair and is being dismantled by rogue plushies (Chimpanzombies) and a gathering storm known as “the darkness.”

Blu-ray Review: The Batman Four Film Collection 4K UHD

It’s a solid film, still benefiting from Keaton’s work as Batman as well as Burton’s eye for bringing that dark and brooding atmosphere to life. There’s no question it misses Nicholson, however, as DeVito’s grotesque portrayal of Penguin just isn’t as entertaining — it’s telling that all three sequels featured multiple villains. Pfeiffer is stunning as Catwoman and was doubtless the object of countless fantasies among pubescent boys all around the world.

Blu-ray Review: A Star is Born: Encore Edition

So what do you get? Well, primarily you get extended and/or new songs. That starts in the opening scene in which Jackson’s performance now includes a second verse, giving you more lyrics but losing the really cool, establishing cut from the original. That’s pretty much the same vibe we got from the second notable addition, a longer interaction between Jackson and Ally in the parking lot. Yes, you’re getting more, but it also speaks to how crisply edited the theatrical version was.

Blu-ray Review: Isn’t It Romantic

There is a lot of funny gags and moments throughout the film, and the spontaneous dance numbers are cleverly implemented and choreographed. The karaoke scene might be the best in the film, and the whole homage aspect of these numbers is sure to elicit some nostalgia. The movie also manages to steer clear of anything that could be considered harsh or cutting with its light-hearted mockery keeping the tone perpetually whimsical.

Video Game Review: Sniper Elite v2 Remastered

Luckily, the game is still fun when taking part in its signature activity: sniping. Your heart rate is shown in the corner of the screen, and when you’re calm you can “empty your lungs,” which slows time and creates a precise firing point. Snapping off those rounds and watching the bullet sail through the air to pierce your hapless target remains as fun now as it was in 2012.
