REVIEWS

Movie Review- Hot Tub Time Machine Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/hot-tub-time-machine-review_article_121454.html

The central irony of Hot Tub Time Machine is that the audience most willing to love it will probably also notice its copious 1980s continuity errors. And that's a good thing too.

TV Review- Lost: Ab Aterno Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/lost-ab-aterno-review_article_121428.html

During a commercial for ABC's "V" on Tuesday night Joe wasn't sure if he was enjoying this latest installment of LOST. It's now a few days later, and he still is not certain how to react.

Movie Review- How to Train Your Dragon Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/to-train-your-dragon-movie-review_article_121453.html

A year ago, How to Train Your Dragon might have barely registered amid the likes of Up and Coraline, and I'm certain better animated films will be along before the year is out. But that doesn't stop it from finding its own sense of identity or providing a marvelous good time in the process.

Game Review- God Of War III Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/god-war-3-game-review_article_121379.html

An "epic of epic epicness" may be the tagline for the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movie poster but after playing through God of War 3 it is also the only thing that can describe Kratos' latest and possibly last adventure.
