FILM REVIEW – I Love You Phillip Morris

By Marty Mulrooney

ILoveYouPhillipMorrisPoster

Jim Carrey is, without question, an acquired taste. I still laugh at some of his older all-out comedy films (my inner child I guess), but truthfully, I preferred him in slightly more serious fare such as The Truman Show or Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind than I ever did watching him goof off. The trailer for I Love You Phillip Morris left me slightly confused as to which category this latest Carrey flick this would fall under. Having just got back from the cinema, I am surprised to say that the answer is neither.

GAME REVIEW – Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, The Director’s Cut (iPhone)

By Duncan Voice

It’s been great seeing a resurgence of the old style adventure games recently. I’m admittedly pretty terrible at them, and fairly resentful of anything that makes me think of something more complex than what to have for dinner, but as a gamer it was great to see the much loved point and click adventure genre make such a comeback last year.

It was recently announced that the 1988 classic movie Midnight Run could be receiving a sequel, over twenty years later. Now call me pessimistic, but I am not sure that this is a good idea at all.

FILM REVIEW – Halo Legends, Part 2

By Stewie Sutherland

HaloOriginsBluRay

Released worldwide on both DVD and Blu-ray, Halo Legends takes one of the most popular franchises of our time and spins seven short films about it. It goes without saying that in something like a war for survival, there are many interesting stories to tell. When that war for survival is scattered across colonies, planets, star systems, space stations, artificial constructs and alien worlds, you get an appreciation of just how many of those stories are out there. 343 Studios and Warner Brothers intend to bring new and old fans of the Halo series a handful of those tales to their living rooms.

Last month, AMO reviewed the first half of this set, which had been already previewed to the public on Xbox Live. Now, we complete it by reviewing the other four films and the Blu-ray release of this compilation.
