Muggle Humor #62: Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted 13 May 2012 in Muggle Humor of the Week

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, “I hope I haven’t made you feel ill at ease; it’s just that you look so much like my late son.” He answered, “That’s okay.” “I know it’s silly, but if you’d call out ‘Good bye, Mom’ as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy.” She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, “Goodbye, Mom.” The little old lady waved and smiled...

The Cabin In The Woods

Posted 24 Apr 2012 in Movies & DVD, The Muggle Review, Uncategorized

Release: April 13, 2012 Director: Drew Goddard Writer: Joss Whedon, Drew Goddard Cast: Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford Trailer: The Muggle Review So the story goes that a group of horny college kids decide to go to a remote place for the weekend to get away. Sound familiar, yeah, we thought so. The good news that’s as familiar as it gets. What appears to be another hack ‘n’ slash film throws you for a loop, then twist and turns into an awesome thrill ride. The film starts off introducing you to two average workers discussing family life and a few other things, and makes you go “what the hell”. Then...

The Muggle Review: Final Fantasy XIII-2

Posted 02 Mar 2012 in The Muggle Review, Video Games

Developers: Squarenix Release Date: Jan. 2012 ESRP Rating: T for Teen The Muggle Review: One of the biggest sellers for Squarnix over the past several years has been their RPGs, and Final Fantasy was their top seller, and one of our favorites. You could always expect top notch graphics with monster game play that you could carry on for months & months. With Final Fantasy XIII & Final Fantasy XIII-2 you get stellar graphics and minimal game play, really minimal gameplay. The game litterally is designed with the lazy in mind. We turned the game on and waited an hour or more before we could even touch the controls, and when we finally got to it was a live...

Muggle Review: ‘This Means War’

Posted 02 Mar 2012 in Movies & DVD, The Muggle Review

Directed by: McG Writer: Timothy Dowling, Simon Kinberg Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Tom Hardy, Chelsea Handler, Til Schweiger, Abigail Spencer The Muggle Review The best thing about this film is that it has a little something for everyone, action, comedy and romance. It’s a well rounded film that starts off with a bang. Ever wonder what happens to a couple of Field CIA agent’s who get “grounded”, ‘This Means War’ is a great way to imagine it. The film opens introducing you to the two main characters who are CIA operatives that are like brothers, but when an operation goes wrong they get stuck at the Office until the mess gets cleared up. So they get bored...
