Video game to film adaptations are often seen as terrible, and sometimes even unwatchable. We're looking back at these films and giving them a second chance, reviewing them with a focus on finding the good in them.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Video games are referred to as worlds of endless possibility, places where you can be whatever you want to be. Nothing proves that more than the documentary, "The Remarkable Life of Ibelin". Join us while we discuss the story of a young man named Mats, who's suffering from muscular dystrophy but finds a second life playing the character "Ibelin" in World of Warcraft.
