And So It Begins: The Holiday Shopping Frenzy

We’ve been run ragged for the last week trying to keep up with all of the holiday sales that have been popping up all over the internet.  Now we enter the week before Black Friday, which  is also the week before “Cyber Monday”.  For those of you who aren’t aware, “Cyber Monday” is the myth that retailers made up to create hype about online sales the Monday after Thanksgiving.  The whole Black Friday and Cyber Monday thing have officially become moot with the relentless “Pre Black Friday” sales that we had for the last week, however we here at Player Affinity just love cheap games, so we’ll cover as many of the damned sales as we can over the next week, or rather six weeks since there will be relentless retail publicity stunts right up through New Year’s Day.

Fair Game Review

People complain that the government is full of “red tape.” No one can get anything done because of all of the bureaucracy and paper-pushing. There is a memo for everything from weapons of mass destruction to paperclip storage. The list of agencies winds like a maze and their list of duties stretch from border to border. It’s all a bit much. And Fair Game, a political thriller starring Sean Penn and Naomi Watts, suffers under the weight of the complexity of its focal bureau — the CIA.

The Next Three Days Review

The last three years, the last three months, and the last three days are presented in regularly identified acts of Russell Crowe’s latest thriller The Next Three Days. It’s your typical action thriller with a central character on the run who must beat the odds to escape. In this case it is John Brennan (Russell Crowe) who decides after three years of fighting through the court system to help his wife Lara (Elizabeth Banks) beat a murder conviction to spring her from prison. The thriller packs a punch but is inevitably both generic and preposterous. Albeit entertaining, The Next Three Days is ultimately forgettable.
