Oh Doctor Who, using big words and gibberish to make us believe we have been entertained and what we are seeing is not silly at all. With an episode titled Kill the Moon, I did wonder where the imagination had gone from naming episodes, but that won’t stop me from watching it. Perhaps the most […]

Adventure games tend to have a set narrative, they like to guide you by the hand and lead you through the scenes to make sure you are doing things right and not deviating from the set path. This has worked ever since the origins of computer games, right back to text-based adventures so why change […]
Knowing a film is to be Hayao Miyazaki’s last is something you don’t really want to hear, but The Wind Rises shows why he is such a master of his art. Studio Ghibli is a company that I regard as being the best at what they do, and that is no small thing when you […]
I am a Doctor Who fan, I want to like every episode I watch but sometimes this just isn’t the case. Last week when I watched the teaser for The Caretaker I was worried, and having now watched it I was right to be, but also wrong because in truth it wasn’t that bad. My […]

Stars: Shirley Henderson, Neve Campbell, Anna Maxwell Martin, Alexandra Maria Lara, Oana Pellea, Danny Huston | Written by Jennifer Higgie | Directed by Oliver Parker Jobs are strange things, we are often tied to them and if we are unlucky we hate them. You have to be lucky to truly love what you do, but what do […]
There always has to be those throw away episodes in a television show, where the episode has no real importance to the overall continuity but just works as a filler. Time Heist arguably signposted that it would be one of these episodes and to be fair has done little to dissuade me from changing my […]

Appearing out of nowhere they have one hunger and that is to consume people, apparently not through a need but for enjoyment. The last known human outpost is a country surrounded by huge walls created to […]

This is one reason that seeing […]
Looking at Doctor Who episodes written by Steven Moffat you can see that he understands how to scare viewers, especially the younger ones. Listen taps into the fear of the unknown and very much like Blink and The Empty Child creates something that really does show an understanding of what is definitely creepy. Not everything […]
