It's a hard-knock life in The Orphanage. Unreal Tournament 3 frags the PS3. Vader and Yoda in Soul Caliber IV? Plus Mad Men, and, because you demanded it, Dexter!

This week in Movies:

It is an international edition of the movie segment this week, starting with a review of the Spanish-language thriller, El Orfanato (The Orphanage), presented by Guillermo del Toro. One, two, three, the guys knock on the wall.

Meanwhile in Thailand, the Jackie Chan-esque legacy of stunt-laden martial arts films continues with Chocolate. Alex, Dan, and Jeff are impressed by the new trailer.

This week in Video Games:

Alex, Dan, and Jeff have played a bunch of Epic's newest frag-fest, Unreal Tournament 3 on both the PC and PS3. Does it compare to the great multiplayer experiences in Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2?

One of Dan's favorite overlooked titles of 2007 was Stuntman: Ignition from THQ. Alex and Jeff give the game a whirl to see if they agree with Dan's high praise.

Namco-Bandai shocked the geek world this week, with announcemen of surprise characters in their upcoming fighter, Soul Caliber IV. The guys discuss the ramifications of playing Darth Vader and Yoda in SCIV!

This Week in TV:

Following the Best of 2007 episode , Alex, Dan, and Jeff received an overwhelming number of emails wondering why they hadn't included Showtime's Dexter in any of their top 5 lists for TV. Their reason? None of them had seen it! This week, they rectify the situation and give Dexter a proper review.

AMC's Mad Men has been receiving kudos from many critics, and even earned Golden Globe nominations. But is it rad?

Plus!

The guys put-put over to the mini-golf course for an epic TRS showdown on the greens in the shade of the castle and windmill.

This week's email question asks the guys to look forward to the rest of 2008 for their most anticipated events. Expect some unexpected responses!

Sort of bummed that Dan only got to 4 episodes of Dexter before this show. Only by the end of the season do you really get a sense of what the show is trying to accomplish. Glad to see it considered, however.

I'm so disappointed with Alex and Jeff you guys hated stuntman? for me stuntman ignition was one of the most overlooked games of the year and the first level was called "Aftershock" and the trailer made me actually want to see that movie that i just did all the stunts for. second of all Jeff not to sound like a douche bag but learn the characters in the games soulcalibur II had Link on the Gamecube, Heihachi for the PS2 and Spawn on the xbox not the "female master chief jerk-off" as you so kindly put it that was Dead or Alive 4 on the xbox 360. again i did not mean to sound like a douche in that rant but thats who the characters were.

You're absolutely right. Realized when we finished that I had confused the DOA special character with SC. But, seriously, Spawn is even worse!

AMC also put out the awesome show "Hustle" you guys should check it out if you haven't and also "Remember WENN" which is one of my favorite show

About Don Draper = Batman/Bruce. I can kinda see it but for some reason I see him as Rex Tyler/Hourman II, I dunno why. Although as an interesting bit of trivia 'Draper' was the last name of one Robin's (Tim Drake's) code names : Alvin Draper.

As far as music, check out Lupe Fiasco

I am in total agreement with you here, and have mentioned it in previous threads too.

One thing to realize in the game is that i's very hard to get 5, 4 or even 3 stars on your first play through on a level. Just go for that 1 or 2 stars finish it off and come back for more later. Also I don't think Jeff or Alex 'got it' as I myself didn't get it at first - the key to the game and where the differences come in (as in its not the same every time) is that to get the 5 stars - you have to string your stunts, which can be done anyway you like, drive close to this, jump here, drift there etc. And then you have to hit your marks.

I think one of the reasons Dan likes it so much (and maybe you and I) is it has a very 'movie' feel to it - with the directer etc, the awards you win and of course the final payout of the trailers.

Maybe you just have to be a certain type of person to enjoy this game to it's fullest.
