Today on the 5: I've seen a few posts lately about a possible Hellraiser film franchise reboot. Unlike a lot of remakes and reboots that have come along in the last few years, I think this is a property that has room to grow and new places to explore.

Today on the 5: There's been a lot of criticism lately on the internet concerning the new Batman film. While there are some very valid points made here and there, I've seen an awful lot from people who feel the Nolan movies have somehow lessened Batman as a character. I can only guess these people don't read a lot of Batman comics.

Today on the 5: A few weeks back I finally decided to make the move off of the HP TouchPad and onto the new iPad. Now that I've had some time to really use it, here are my impressions of the new device and my transition from webOS to iOS.

Today on the 5: My final review of the Red Dead Redemption DLC add-on Undead Nightmare. Now that I've finished the whole campaign, I can give a much more thorough review of the overall experience.

Today on the 5: I recently watched the 2001 H.P. Lovecraft inspired film Dagon. The director is Stuart Gordon, of Re-Animator fame, so i was expecting something different. I got exactly that, but I'm not sure it worked out the way I thought it would.

Today on the 5: As a companion to yesterday's 5, I look at one of the central arguments that often is used to argue against gun control. Defense against authority is typically cited as one of many reasons why the right to bear arms is so vital. While the argument once carried a lot of merit, haven't we moved past the point where a gun will keep you safe from the government?

Today on the 5: Last week Lando and I talked about the issue of gun control, specifically how it it inevitably brought up when a maniac decides to shoot up a public location. As I've thought about it, and seen all the mentions of it over the weekend, I keep wondering whether the public debate is just an empty argument.

Today on the 5: I've just finished watching the American version of Sasuke, the Japanese sports competition where hundreds attempt to conquer a physically punishing obstacle course. The Japanese version stressed individual achievement, but without the added need to beat the other competitors, which made it great to watch as you could cheer for everyone competing. Naturally, the American version decided to crap all over those qualities.
