Ever since Blink, there has been an anticipation around creepy episodes of Doctor Who, that they will deliver the same creepiness. While some have come close, not many have managed to reach the same impressive quality of Blink. Knock Knock though promised something different, and that was David Suchet. In Knock Knock we are back […]

I have not read American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Now that we have that […]
Three episodes into this year’s season of Doctor Who, and we are in Victorian England. With more of a hint of Dickens about some of the tropes used in the episode, will Thin Ice be a damp squib of an episode, or a behemoth of excellence? Instead of returning The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Bill […]

Confusing and slow, […]
Given that this week we’re celebrating Alien Day, it’s only fitting that I return to my reviews of the Alien and Predator Figurine Collection with a character from the original movie, and the choice is Captain Dallas. Captain Dallas played by the ever dependable Tom Skerrit is memorable not only for being the brunt of Ripley’s (Sigourney […]
Stars: Shinichi Fukazawa, Masaaki Kai, Asako Nosaka | Written and Directed by Shinichi Fukazawa When a film has a name like Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell, it comes with certain expectations. Described as the Japanese Evil Dead, that is a lofty claim. So, can the crazy titled film live up to the name of […]
When I first saw the teaser for this episode of Doctor Who, I had to admit that the thought of an Emoji robot just didn’t work for me. Surprisingly though, this new refreshed Doctor Who makes the lovable little killer robots actually work. This week The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) takes Bill (Pearl Mackie) into the far […]
If there is one genre of game that has pulled me in now I review games, it has to be the JRPG. While they tend to consume a lot of time, they tend to be full of lore, and drag you into a zany story. While sometimes they may not deliver, when they do they […]
When I reviewed season one of The Bureau I enjoyed the shows more realistic feel when it came to the French intelligence services. Now with the release of The Bureau: Complete Season Two the story continues, with Guillaume Debailly (Mathieu Kassovitz) once again trying to pull the wool over his colleague’s eyes. Still connected with the […]

What we need is a glimmer of hope, something […]
With the knowledge that Peter Capaldi is set to leave, and we also have a new companion, I will admit I was worried about the latest series of Doctor Who. With a name like The Pilot though, that insinuates a brand-new start for this show, but is this the names only meaning? The Doctor (Peter […]
Stars: Anthony Forrest, Tom Marshall, Georgina Kean | Written and Directed by Alan Birkinshaw What would you do if you thought you were in a dream?

Stars: Paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead | Written and Directed by Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert How do you write a movie about a farting corpse that leads a man home by a certain part of his anatomy? The answer to that is to watch Swiss Army Man and look beyond what you are […]
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve looked at the Marines from Aliens, but this week our Eaglemoss Alien and Predator Figurine Collection review moves back to the Xenomorph. While Alien 3 may not have been the best received of the Alien films, it still had an interesting variation of the alien, based off the […]

Taking our weekly look at the Alien and Predator Figurine Collection, today we have another marine. Last week we featured Hudson, who of course had the famous “Game Over Man!”, and it only seems that this week we move to the Corporal Hicks figure. While Hudson may have been all mouth (and action when it mattered), […]

Thankfully, we can trust Legion […]
If there is one enemy that we can all understand, it is the bank. Holding our money, we trust them to treat it well, but in recent years we’ve seen that sometimes that isn’t the case. Follow the Money season 2 sets up a story revolving around banks, and while this could have been a mediocre […]
