Escape from Mars

Note: Please forgive me if some of what I’m writing sounds familiar.

House of the Dead

House of the Dead is a movie based on the popular arcade game – I should just stop right there, shouldn’t I? Admittedly, I have on more than one occasion (drunk or not), picked up the plastic blue or pink shotguns and shot and CGI zombies. And you know what? It’s a fairly fun game. [...]
