We are still a few weeks out from our return to your regularly scheduled Nerd News program. That being said, I AM still doing SOME things. Since I am a bit of a HUGE Mortal Kombat nerd it seemed fitting that a movie review for the reboot be the thing to use to bridge the gap.
I liked it overall in spite of the glaring issues.
