Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers (1980)
Culinary Hell
This movie was terrible. It had little useful information about garlic. For the majority of the film, it was just pointless interviews with random garlic-obsessed freaks. I mean, how are you supposed to take a guy seriously when he's wearing a hat shaped like a giant clove of garlic? And the idea of "pet garlic" (a plastic clove of garlic on the end of a stiff leash) proves that some people see very little of life. Not even the editing was done well. I had such a hard time trying to read the names of the interviewees printed on the screen. White text on a white background? If you want information on garlic, read an encyclopedia. If you are a garlic loving lunatic, check out this film.
0.5/4 stars
Civilization III (2001)
Fantastic
Civilization III is one of the best games I have ever played. I have followed the Civilization series since it first hit the market in '92 and have been a huge fan ever since. This one takes the cake, however.
Basically, your objective in the game is to take control of an infant civilization and leave your mark in history through one of many victories. You must achieve victory through cultural conquest, world domination, colonization of a distant star, possessing a certain percentage of the world, or several other paths.
This is one of the greatest games ever created. The plethora of options and multiple approaches to the game will keep anyone with the will to learn occupied infinitely. ***** out of *****
The Journeyman Project (1993)
Groundbreaking Experience
It's been awhile since I've played this game, but it's pretty hard to find these days. Bear with me. The Journeyman Project Turbo set the standards for a photo-realistic adventure experience. It was the first of it's kind, featuring an intriguing storyline with multiple turns and enough dangers to keep you well aware of the choices you're making. For it's time, the realistic looking visuals and haunting voice effects throughout the game were enough to send chills up my spine. Time travel played a HUGE part The idea of solving the game through multiple time eras is very unique, and to this day, the Journeyman Project Turbo remains one of the most unique experiences that I've ever had the pleasure of taking part in.
