Was Shakespeare a Fraud?

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On November - 18 - 2011

Anonymous is the story of “the truth” about who really wrote the works of William Shakespeare.

The film starts out as a stage play telling the tale of Ben Johnson, a theater owner and playwright that is entrusted with the works of the Earl of Oxford, Edward De Vere, and asked to put the plays on as his own works. Johnson puts on the first of the plays, and the crowd loves it so much that they call for the writer to take a bow. Due to Johnson’s reluctance, and being in the right place at the right time, William Shakespeare, an actor, steps out on the stage to claim credit for writing it.

There’s a lot more to it than just Shakespeare possibly stealing someone else’s work. It deals heavily with the privileged, yet tortured, life of Edward De Veer, his love for Queen Elizabeth, and very heavily with his conflicts with his wife’s brother and father, Robert and William Cecil.

Strong Punch to the Cineplexus – The Descendants

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On November - 18 - 2011

Sure, Twilight and Happy Feet 2 came out today, but you should be going to see The Descendants if anything. Well, unless you’re under 10, or an insecure girl. The Descendants looks like Alexander Payne’s version of Up in the Air. Or was Up in the Air Jason Reitman’s version of Sideways? Anyway, I really want to see it. Check out a trailer below.

Rainbow 6 Patriots – (Non)Trailer Time

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On November - 17 - 2011

They’re saying this is just a prototype video and is not representative of what the complete game will be, it’s just their ideas for now. Well, it looks pretty damn good already. I’m a huge Rainbow 6 fan, and the saddest thing about this video for me is that this game won’t be coming out until 2013. Check out the video below.

This was supposed to be posted about 11 hours ago, but it didn’t, so sorry about that.

Yesterday I said I’d be back later. I’m sorry I never was. I got my hands on Saints Row 3, so I had to play some of that.
