The To Do List

The To Do List
Genre: Comedy
Starring: Aubrey Plaza, Johnny Simmons, Bill Hader, Alia Shawkat, Scott Porter, Rachel Bilson, Donald Glover, Andy Samberg, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Connie Britton, Clark Gregg
2013

Review
This comedy has quite a few recognizable faces. Starring Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation)as an uptight high school graduate set on loosening up. Plaza is backed up by such notables as Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), and Donald Glover (Community). That is about half of the faces you may recognize in this film. Aside from the great casting, the film had some really funny moments. The premise is fresh in an industry in which people are constantly remarking on the lack of creativity. If you enjoy any of the actors mentioned above and their typical roles, this movie will be an good match for you.

Dead Man Down

Dead Man Down
Genre: Action, Thriller
Starring: Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Terrence Howard, Dominic Cooper
2013

Review
Colin Farrell stars as a enforcer for a gang in this thriller. There is plenty of action for those who seek that type of film, which considering you sought out a review for this film, is right up your alley. Surprisingly, most of these characters show some humanity which makes the action ever a little more exciting.Even if you are not a fan of Colin Farrell, this movie may be worth watching if you like action movies. If you find yourself trying find a movie to watch, give this one a chance. Chances are you won't finish it feeling like you wasted your time.

Saints Row IV

Saints Row IV
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, RPG
2013

Review

Saints Row is back for fourth installment. The amount of customization of the character is always a plus for this series. Also, as always, there plenty of Easter eggs and references that should result in a chuckle or two. There is tons to do in the sandbox. The amount of play time that can be invested in the game is impressive. The plot is a little over the top, which is what I think they were going for in this game. It is seems the game uses the plot to get away with more of the cartoonish mayhem from Saints Row: The Third. Really, the only downside to the game is the amount of ridiculousness with the plot, but that is a personal preference. I would recommend it to most anyone who likes getting bang for their buck or is a fan of the series.
