Midweek DVD – Team America: World Police
Comments OffThere are very few films out there that can not only be viewed without thinking too hard about the content, but also be hugely entertaining by making you think. Yes, it’s a weird combination of thoughts, but that’s what sums up my view on Team America: World Police.
On the surface, it’s a Trey Parker and [...]
Guitar Hero: Yes, it Rocks
Comments OffEd Lau asked the question “How Much Does Guitar Hero Rock?“, before answering that yes, it does indeed rock.
