Movie Review: The Informant!
The quirkiest part of this film is its title. That exclamation mark at the end? Tough sell, considering this film’s near-glacial pace at points. Second quirkiest part of this film?

Movie Review: Enter The Void
One doesn’t watch Enter The Void, one experiences Enter The Void. From the incredible camerawork to the special effects or the jarring opening credits, everything melts together into one trippy mold. Casper and his sister Linda are denizens of Tokyo’s seedy underbelly. He’s a drug dealer who wanted enough money to bring her across the ocean, she’s a stripper trying to find an identity for herself. He falls into bad business and gets killed in a disgusting bathroom trying to lose his drugs. That’s only the first half hour.

The PlayStation Network Is Still Down. This Is What You Could Be Doing.
As of this writing, the PlayStation Network has been down for almost three weeks. Sony came out and told everyone their junk got hacked into and they’d restore it as soon as they figure out how to turn on their Norton Firewall software (the Geek Squad is taking forever). This means no playing games online, no downloading content, and definitely no sales for those affected game makers who rely on the network to be alive and kicking. That said, we at FEZ have some suggestions as to what to do in the meantime.

Movies Worth A 10 Out Of 10
Let’s talk about perfection for a moment. For one thing, it’s not possible. It just can’t happen. When it comes to reviews, it’s harder to justify a ‘perfect’ score when you have a granular, percentage-based scale than if you used a ten-point or five point scale.
