Jelly Bean’s Google Now Could Be So Cool… Some Day
Just enough education to perform, as the Stereophonics would say.
When Google unveiled Jelly Bean, the latest edition of their Android OS, they showed off a new personal assistant-ish feature to rival Siri called Google Now. One part dictate-and-respond internet AI, the other part precognitive search engine, Google Now has the power to, based on your many Google searches, help you help yourself in ways you never thought imaginable. But having used it for a few weeks now, it’s obvious that it has a long way to go, but a lot of incredible potential. So how does it work?

It used to be funny-sunny in Philadelphia. Now it’s just…weird.

Zaxxon Escape Review: It’s Like Temple Run, But In A Ship
C’mon baby, let’s do the twist!
If you’re like me, you’ve played the original Zaxxon (on our fourth-grade classroom’s Apple IIe, mind you!) and you think Temple Run is thematically uninteresting. Really, a bunch of apes chasing a scared adventurer down a series of randomized paths until it simply becomes impossibly difficult to play? Boring. But, turn your adventure into blaster-enabled spaceship and the apes into flames licking your ship’s rear end and you’ve got Zaxxon Escape. How good is it? Really good.

Frankenweenie Review: Tim Burton Being Tim Burton
A boy and his undead dog.
In early ‘80s, Tim Burton worked as an animator for Disney. He wasn’t very good at fitting into the Disney mold, so instead of working on major productions, he was relegated to making short films based on his own ideas. During this period he made two excellent short films, Vincent and Frankenweenie, which held the distinction of being absolutely unlike anything Disney had ever produced before. Thirty years later, Burton has dusted off the old property to make a feature length film which is almost identical to every other Tim Burton movie made in the past couple of decades.

Taken 2 Review: Taken Too Far
Trust me, you don’t want to get a call from Liam Neeson.
The characters in Taken 2 have no idea how revenge is supposed to work. In the first film, Liam Neeson kills his way through dozens of shady Eastern Europeans to save his daughter from a sex trafficking ring. In this sequel, Liam Neeson takes revenge on family members of the dead baddies from the first movie who try to take revenge on Liam Neeson for taking revenge on the people who kidnapped his daughter. So…yeah…
