Your garden has saved you once already from a massive horde of fun-loving zombies in the original Plants vs. Zombies. Those creepy, brain-seeking beings jumped the fence at the edge of your yard, limped toward your house and met their match ~ your loyal yet incredibly unlikely army of petaled and leafy friends. Now the tattered monsters are back for more. Try your hand at ultimate garden warfare ~ and sow the seeds of victory once and for all.The eternal struggle between plants and zombies rages on. In this fast-paced third-person shooter, you choose between Zombies or Plants, and mercilessly beat up on the opposite team with the multitude of weapons at your disposal. Explosives, landmines...nothing is out of bounds in this battle royale. Customize Zombies and Plants alike with hundreds of unique items and a huge variety of new abilities. Duke it out on more than 10 dazzling multiplayer and cooperative battlefields.

Fun multiplayer-only shooter
on March 21, 2014
Posted by: NeoQuintessence

If you like Plants vs. Zombies and multiplayer shooters, then you will enjoy this game. Each side has 4 different classes to play as, most of which are fun to switch between. The only problem with the game is the servers can be laggy and cause disconnections.

What's great about it: Good art design, interesting classes
What's not so great: Electronic Arts' servers tend to not be the best

Own the definitive version of the 1959 classic Ben Hur in this lavish box set that includes a new feature-length documentary on the film's production, an exclusive production art book, and a 128 page replica of Charlton Heston's journal and sketches.

Classic movie receives star treatment

Ben-Hur is a classic and it is nice to see this release do the movie justice. It looks and sounds great, and the entire Anniversary Edition packaging and contents are a good supplement to it.

Good to have the Batman movies in one package
on September 26, 2013
Posted by: NeoQuintessence
from Glendale, California
I like having a complete collection of series, so I bought this convenient package to achieve that. However, only half the movies are really worth watching more than once. The first two, Batman and Batman Returns, are pretty good movies. The last two, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, are not all that great.

Great final season, average packaging
on September 26, 2013

The entire Avatar: The Last Airbender is a testament not only to great animation, but to great television as a whole. This DVD release is great aside from the packaging. The edges are easily dented and the way the discs are put in the case is not great.

Good movie, but not Anderson's best
on September 26, 2013
Posted by: NeoQuintessence
from Glendale, California
Wes Anderson has created many great movies over the years, and while The Darjeeling Limited is a good film, it lacks some of the soul that has made the director's other movies fantastic.
Basically, if you like Anderson's other movies, you will like this albeit you may wish for a bit more out of it. And if you have never seen any of Anderson's other movies, I suggest starting with Rushmore or Moonrise Kingdom.

Funny movie with a lot of heart
on June 20, 2013
Posted by: NeoQuintessence
from Glendale, California
This movie is a lot better than the sum of its parts would make it look, but in some way a talking bear voiced by Seth McFarlane, who is often vulgar and kind of creepy, works on a certain level and winds up being quite funny. Even if the previews turned you off, this is still worth a look at least. Perhaps rent before you buy.

What's not so great: The ending is a little contrived

Classic Godzilla at its best
on June 20, 2013
Posted by: NeoQuintessence
from Glendale, California
If you are a fan of the original Godzilla, then you will like this. The only drawback has nothing to do with the movie itself, but with the packaging. I have never been a fan of having to slide one thing out of another. It is clunky and feels like it could have been thought through more.
What's great about it: The original version
What's not so great: The box

The absolute devastation of Emergence Day has just fallen upon the planet Sera and the Locust menace lurks in the secretly terrified corners of your heart. You are Damon Baird, leader of the elite Kilo Squad and your courage may be all that stands in the way of total annihilation. You must navigate the besieged planet in a life-or-death effort to eradicate the enemy ~ but is this a fight you can win? Gears of War: Judgment gives you a glimpse into the aftermath of Emergence Day, the most defining event in the history of the Gears universe, for the very first time in the most intense and riveting storyline. Follow the efforts of Kilo Squad through this campaign full of menacing enemies and challenging gameplay. The new Mission Declassification system keeps you engaged by revealing critical information upon the completion of achievements. Contend with unpredictable enemy types, timing and location with every new encounter thanks to the new Smart Spawn System. Play cooperatively with up to three friends on Xbox Live to destroy the Locust menace in the campaign, or experience the revolutionary new class-based competitive mode, OverRun, in which you play as Locusts or COG soldiers as they are pitted against each other. The saturated storyline of the Gears saga is enriched even further with numerous new gameplay modes and features in this prequel to one of the most riveting campaigns in gaming history.

Decent prequel, but it feels tired

Gender:Male
This game is fun and totally competent, but it lacks the spirit the previous games in the series had. The story feels unnecessary and the characters are bland. It is also strange seeing enemies that are introduced later on appear in this installment along with a new enemy entirely.
The multiplayer is much the same, with OverRun as a standout. The only drawback is a severe lack of maps.
What's great about it: fun gameplay, good co-op
What's not so great: story feels uninspired, lack of multiplayer maps

For a non-anamorphic picture (widescreen letterbox, 1.85:1 aspect ratio), the picture quality of Office Space is fairly sharp and smooth with rather detailed-looking events, faces, and scenes. Audio options on this single-layered DVD include English Dolby Digital 5.1, English Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, and French Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, with optional subtitles available in English and Spanish. Closed-captioning is also included. Bonus or special features are not, however, except for the original theatrical trailers. The sound quality comes through as mono sounding and front-directed, with overly loud dialogue in places throughout the film; coloring is a bit splotchy and inconsistent in some scenes.

Pretty much if you've worked, you'll enjoy this

Posted by: NeoQuintessence

There is so much in this movie that most people, including myself, can relate to. It also helps that not only is the comedy funny and well done, but it feels like a fresh take on things that many other movies have done before.
What's great about it: funny, interesting plot, relateable

Better than you would think

The part I enjoyed most about this release was all of its nods to the board game source material. The actual movie is entertaining enough, but nothing mind-blowing. I also would like to have seen more extras.
What's great about it: It is surprisingly faithful to a lot of parts of the board game.
What's not so great: Everything else is just okay; nothing is spectacular.
