The Grudge
Here it is! The anticipated review! Ok, so this is a remake of a Jap horror flick, usually doesn’t go too well. As expected, nopers. The movie manages to keep you tense throughout, but the story is just plain suck. Perhaps Japanese stories are told in a fashion like this (leaving you wondering what the hell happened to the guy in the first scene…

I Am Famous
No, really, I am. Just a couple of weeks ago my name was in a magazine, Grassroots Motorsports and just yesterday my exact hat was on SpeedTV (I caught it after a JGTC racer for the Daishin team threw it off the stage at the awards ceremony).

The only downside is the jumpiness of the movie, you’re constantly struggling to…

Gran Turismo 4
After a long, long wait, it’s finally here. Yesterday was an exiciting day in the US for car and game fanatics and for good reason, it was the release of the new version of the most entertaining driving simulator ever. Unfortunately it did not come as expected, and Sony was forced to scrap the much anticipated online mode, which would have opened new doors…
