Superbad (2007)

The early years of the first decade of the 21st century were greatly defined by the films of Judd Apatow. Everyone who lived in those years, almost definitely saw Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Knocked Up and loved them and made Apatow’s name one known in every Hollywood studio. After the hit Knocked Up, he produced a comedy teen film directed by Greg Mottola (Who would later direct and write hit comedy Adventureland), a film that would forever resonate through history with one word; McLovin. Let’s talk about Superbad.

Evil Genius (PC) (2004)

Why is it when we have fantasies of taking over the world, we imagine doing it in the style of a James Bond villain? Sitting in an evil comfy chair in front of an evil world map in an evil secret underground lair surrounded by evil henchmen and honest working minions. The plans concocted are usually too complex and overtly complicated and easily defeatable because it has been explained to a super spy while being strapped to an easily escapable and needless torture device. And the plan is usually hold the world to ransom with an impossible weapon. The only game that allowed you to take over the world, but in a non-Bond villain way, was Sid Meier’s Civilization series. But in 2004, Elixir Studios released Evil Genius, a game similar to the Dungeon Keeper series, in order to gratify your inner Blofeld, but does it succeed? Let’s see:

Postal (2007)

What to say about German director Uwe Boll? Only that he is possibly the worst director of all time and that’s including Ed Wood and Bruno Mattei. Most of his films are based on video games and that should spell it all out since every single FUCKING video game film adaptation has failed…miserably. He also intentionally makes sure his films suck so that he can exercise a German tax law that allows investors to have a tax write-off if a German-owned film lost money. In 2005, that law was changed and that meant that Boll would have to put real effort in his films to get more funding and money, and guess what, his films are still crap. Well, except for one; a film based on a video game directed by Uwe Boll that has become one of my favourite films. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out.
