The Last Starfighter Blu-ray Review

I have heard a lot of people talk about the The Last Starfighter as a “guilty pleasure”. I definitely won’t call it that. I have very few guilty pleasure in life as I feel no guilt for the things I have liked in my lifetime (well in film and music anyway…). The Last Starfighter is one of my favorite films from the 1980s and I still enjoy watching it to this day, perhaps 25 years after the first time I … Continue reading

Fallout 4 Preview Update | New Vegas Voice Cast (Wayne Newton)

Fallout 4 Preview Updates Check this link for the Fallout New Vegas Soundtrack & Music List. Fallout New Vegas has updated it’s voice cast with a personality that really embodies the Vegas spirit.  “Mr. Vegas” himself, Wayne Newton will provide the voice of himself as the Radio DJ pre-recorded before the big Fallout event.  I think Newton is obviously a perfect New Vegas voice casting choice and a beyond adequate replacement of Three Dog from Fallout 3.
