Review: Venom: The Last Dance
Sony’s Marvel Universe continues to flounder as the Venom trilogy comes to a messy and rushed ending in Venom: The Last Dance.

Review: Smile 2
The recently released Smile 2 does exactly what a good sequel should: it takes what worked in the first movie and ramps it up to new levels. Naomi Scott takes over the lead role as Skye Riley, a troubled pop superstar on the verge of starting a big comeback tour. While trying to get some […]
Review: Joker: Folie à Deux
2019’s Joker was an interesting spin on a classic comic character and a stylish throwback to 70s Scorsese griminess that found its way to an Oscar win for Joaquin Phoenix and over 1 billion dollars at the box office.

Gamebox 2.0: Games of August 2024

We entered VR for an homage to the classic Point Blank series, On Point, and played the sequel to the brutally hard action platformer Volgarr the Viking, a fantastical adventure 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Verne: The Shape of Fantasy, journeyed into the Dark and Deep and more!
