‘The Internship’ Review: Painful to Watch
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson reunite in a movie about two talented salesmen who, finding themselves out of a job, elect to reinvent themselves and apply for careers at Google. Co-written and produced by Vaughn, The Internship contains plenty of dated gags about Skype and Instagram, but not much in the way of bona fide humor.

‘The Purge’ Review: This Isn’t Supposed to Happen in Our Neighborhood!
The Purge introduces us to an America reborn and free from the grip of unemployment and poverty. The nation prospers and the less fortunate are nonexistent. How did this happen?

I started playing D&D back in the late 1970s when the core books were thin paperbacks about the size of a third-grade work book with bad art and lots of problems. Back then, we had no idea how big the idea of role playing games would become or how that idea would spawn an entire genre of table-top and electronic games.
Now, as we prepare to roll out to E3 2013, I find myself casting off the idea of strictly digital RPGs and going back to the idea of tabletop RPG’s, but with a bit of a twist…
