Adam Sandler's Movie Company: Let It Die

Following the depressingly base, lowbrow, blatantly stuffed product placement fest that was Zookeepers, we already have a new piece of garbage from Adam Sandler's idiotic company, Happy Madison Pictures. I kid you not, that review by Red Letter Media for the Zookeepers trailer was spot on and could be applied to this one as well: This just looks like a parody trailer, a sick joke. Adam Sandler as himself, hanging out with a version of himself in drag that's supposed to be his sister? Taking a concept so tired and somehow making it shi**ier?  Seriously, at this point its just sad and depressing. These movies are so f***ing lazy and phoned in that they make my head spin.

They aren't even trying here. The movies are made to appeal to the lowest common denominator with their crude humor, STUPID slapstick and overwhelming amounts of product placement. Just to prove a point, Happy Madison's earlier feature from this year, 'Just Go With It' had over 50 f***ing product placements in the film, which probably inspired Michael Bay to stuff even more shots with Cisco routers and Adidas sneakers into his latest foray into mediocrity, Transformers 3. Instead of trying to make good movies, Adam Sandlers idiotic approach is to lower the bar in order to squeeze as much money out of his horrible movies. I can't help but feel angry that these insultingly bad movies continue to generate a profit, even as critics universally pan these releases. I can only hope that these movies, Adam Sandler and his D-list crew will finally be relegated to strictly straight to DVD work. I have a good feeling that this movie might be the final nail in their coffin career wise.

Gun Loco: The Latest JRPG Masterpiece From Square Enix Is Coming Exclusively To Xbox 360!

Or... Maybe not. Turns out the next game you'll see on the 360 branded by the illustrious Square Enix will be this spastic third person shooter that's looking a lot like 2008's The Club meets... Well, I don't really know what it meets.

To be honest, part of me wants to purchase this game on day one just for the hell of it. Then there's the other part of me, which would completely agree if this game wasn't weighing in at a full sixty dollars on GameStop dot com right now.

So this raises the question, "What are you up to Square?"

FPS Games Now

Two images that kind of ring true as to how FPS games are now.  We feel that over time games have actually become way more dumbed down, rather than progressing the genre.  Heavy on cut scenes and linearity, light on content and exploration.  When will this trend end?  This is a curse that consoles seem to have brought on the genre.
