Freakish Season 2 Review
Barrett gets a pass. NOTE: For those who have not seen Season 1 of Freakish, I advise that you stop and either go watch the show or read my review here. There will be spoilers for the first season. Season 2 starts immediately after the ending of Season 1, where the rest of the surviving characters are mourning the death of Natalie. No one has heard from LeShaen anymore either. We see that there ar...[Read More]
Does Being a Critic Ruin Movies and Games?
“Why can’t you just like anything?” Back in the day, I really didn’t care about reviews for games. I would play the game and either suffered if it sucked or thanked the gaming gods for the great game I bought. For movies, many of us would watch two guys on TV tell us how they felt about a movie. Maybe we would hear about it through word of mouth; that’s how I discovered The Matri...[Read More]

Black Panther Official Trailer #1 Released
Lately, the Digital Crack website looks more like Movieland. There’s been an awful lot of movie and TV write-ups and few video game mentions. This will be corrected. I’ll have a Retro Review up soon along with other video game-related stuff. But the first official trailer for Black Panther has been released. And you KNOW I gotta talk about it! Whereas the first teaser trailer tried to ...[Read More]

New Shanghai movie also in the works. Good day my fellow moviegoers. I hope you all are having a great day!

New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer Released
Fellow Digital Crack cohort Punisher and I were anticipating the release of the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer last night. When it finally dropped, we had two wildly different opinions of it. He was ecstatic; I was mostly indifferent. We still both want to see the movie; he already purchased his tickets. But maybe my Star Wars fandom has exhausted itself. That has nothing to do with the trailer,...[Read More]
When Movie Trailers Show Too Much
(Ed note: This article will discuss key moments in some movies. Some are much older movies, so if this article spoils the movie for you, too bad, ya shoulda watched it already! But some are more recent. Care will be taken to avoid outright spoiling big plot points, but since these scenes were in the trailers, they’re spoiled already. Still, consider this a blanket spoiler warning.) I’m a huge movi...[Read More]
Pacific Rim: Uprising Trailer Revealed
Pacific Rim 2: The Search for More Money I was unexpectedly pleased with 2013’s Pacific Rim. Whenever you have huge monsters fighting huge robots, we all win. Seeing the robots – or Jaegers – take on Kaiju made the little kid in me freak out. But that was pretty much the best part of the movie. The rest of the movie was average. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie. But...[Read More]
