10 Best Things of April 2011

1. Streets of Rage Remake

One of the best fan-created videogames. Too bad Sega took it down after several days of publicity and acclaim. Yet another decision that Sega hates money.


2. Mortal Kombat

Great story mode, fun gameplay and the return of fatalities. Well worth it for Noob Saibot's wishbone finish.


3. The Room special screening at Proctor's

Tommy Wiseau's best worst movie brought a lot of comfort and laughter.


4. Game of Thrones

I'm still wondering if the showrunners want "Winter is coming" to become a meme or something. Regardless, this new show based on the popular medieval fantasy book series is so far great. Peter Dinklage deserves an Emmy.


5. Community, "Paradigms of Human Memory"

A parody of clip shows that incorporates storyline twists, a satire of fan-made Internet music videos, and the harshest characterization of all of the main characters.


6. Drive-in Movie Season starts

Now I can save my money on all of Hollywood's releases for more fried Oreos. Actually, that is more of a lose-lose situation.


7. Source Code

Duncan Jones, you magnificent bastard.


8. The Undertaker vs. Triple H, Wrestlemania XXVII

The best match of the night, and possibly all year. Too bad the rest of the card was a mixed bag.


9. UFC 129

Very disappointing main event was the only sour note of one of the greatest nights for UFC. Now, please come to NY!


10. Abhishek Bachchan in Dum Maaro Dum

No more Mr. Nice guy. Bachchan moves away from his usual happy-go-lucky film persona to play the suicidal-and-loving-it police officer who wants the drug-filled streets of Goa clean, even if it takes to shove a magnum up everyone's anus.
