Based on a true character in history, Jiro Horikoshi(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) wants to make airplanes just like his Italian idol Caproni(Stanley Tucci). He becomes an aeronautical genius and makes Japanese fighter planes for WWII. Then he falls in love with a young woman.

Sketched Game: Dark Void and game length

Sorry this is late, I actually finished the game last week(and really late if you consider the game came out in 2010), and I've been a little sick *cough cough* but I wanted to talk about Dark Void.  
You play William Grey in the midst of WWII when you're sucked into a portal and go through another dimension filled with robots and tribes people. Pretty soon you find a jetpack and some guns and proceed to shoot robot aliens in the face to save WWII or something.

Red Tails

Get out your airplanes and racism, we're reviewing Red Tails!
Not very happy with this. I think the best thing about it is the brushed text. In my defense, I was sick. *cough cough*
I had medium hopes for this movie. And those were pretty much filled.  Nothing better, nothing worse. Overall it's a fun movie, but it is by no means an amazing one. More than anything, this is a movie made by George Lucas.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Bust out your shields and strap on your nazi stompin' boots, we're reviewing Captain America: The First Avenger!

The X-Men Poster design went over pretty well, so I tried making some patriotic propaganda! AND I'll be having a Red Skull one for another Captain America article!
Captain America isn't just a great comic book movie(and oh, what a fantastic comic book movie it is), but a great war movie summer blockbuster.
