Robin Hood review

Time for a confession. I’m a huge Robin Hood nerd. I mean HUGE! Ever since I was a kid and I saw Prince of Thieves I wanted nothing more than to be Robin Hood. In a lot of ways Robin Hood may be the first superhero type of character to really captivate my imagination. The [...]

Coheed and Cambria: Year of the Black Rainbow review

We’ve been talking about doing music reviews over here at the chronic for some time now and just never really had an album that we felt really fit our particular brand of nerdiness.  Don’t get us wrong, we’re all huge music nerds and our knowledge extends into many genres with obsessions over many artists and [...]

Kick-Ass review

The much anticipated film adaptation of the comic mini series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr is almost here.  Is the movie a glorious spectacle of violence, gore, and dirty language like the comic, or is it another horrible adaptation like Millar’s, Wanted?  Let’s find out.

Mass Effect 2

The highly anticipated sequel to the 2007 Bioware game hit shelves this last week for the X-Box 360 and PC. Did the game live up to the hype? It’s no secret that I’m a Bioware fanboy. Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, and the original Mass Effect are some of my all time favorite [...]

The Slammin’ Salmon review

First off let me say thanks to everyone who came out to the showing with us. The Slammin’ Salmon is the fifth feature film from the Broken Lizard comedy group (Beerfest, Club Dread, Super Troopers, and Puddle Cruiser). This is also Kevin Heffernan’s directorial debut. Obviously our review of this movie will be a little [...]
