When you watch social media it’s always interesting to see what people find funny, or what they are a fan of. One thing I’ve noticed when it comes to comedy on television is that some people see Mrs Brown’s Boys as the worst comedy you could watch, and I can’t help but wonder why? I […]
When it comes to television shows it’s fair to say that Kevin Williamson knows what he is doing. He’s worked on successes like Dawson’s Creek and The Vampire Diaries and they were (and are) fairly big successes. With The Following I heard good things, but in watching it for review I can’t help but feel […]
Stars: Danny Dyer, Roxanne McKee, Vincent Regan, Bruce Payne, Emma Samms, Nick Nevern | Written and Directed by Stephen Reynolds Danny Dyer is an actor who tends to take a lot of flak for his acting. In Vendetta I won’t say his performance is Oscar worthy but you get exactly what you expect, and that is Danny […]
There are many things that make Adam Hills a good comedian, but the fact is he is more than that and it’s all from his own choice. When the Special Olympics were riding the success of the Olympics and making people realise that this sports events were just as important, he became in many ways […]
I will admit this week feels like a long week, turns out watching so many stand-up comedy DVD releases is a tiring task. I’ve sat through the comedy created to shock, the comedy related to make you think a little and comedy that didn’t really need brain power at all. I’ve still got a few […]

The name Sean Lock: Purple Van Man is very fitting. I saw him do an interview about the release and he said that what he was aiming for was to be the “white van man” of comedy, only where a white van man believes he knows everything, the Purple Van Man doesn’t really know anything, […]
I think it’s easy to say that Reginald D. Hunter didn’t have the best of years in 2013 in the United Kingdom, though he came out on top because of the idiocy of the people who took offence. Let’s just say that the “Professional Footballers’ Association” really should have been aware of the language used […]
Comedy is about humour, but you’d never guess that sometimes. Very often especially on the internet you’ll see people who seem to decide what is funny and they decide who should have retired by now. They tend to proclaim this to people who are like minded then enjoy the feeling that people agree with them. […]
There is no getting away from the fact that “geeks” love art, whether it’s the TV obsessed people who post gif files on Tumblr from their favourite shows or movie fans who find movie based art from around the internet and post it on social media, art infiltrates the social side of entertainment and infests […]

Stars: Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Willem Dafoe, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan | Written by Walter Hill, Larry Gross | Directed by Walter Hill There are films that are said to be “ahead of their time”, this can often be an excuse for poor box-office sales or just the fact that the film was done in a style that people […]

When it comes to first person shooting games now people tend to think of the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield where the action is mainly based on multiplayer battles and the solo campaigns are somewhat of an afterthought. Sometimes we get lucky though and we get something like Deadfall Adventures which while it may not […]

Playing games can be a complicated experience sometimes, sometimes we want to play first person shooters, sometimes we want to play sports games and sometimes we want to play something that will make our brain work overtime. Then of course there are those times when we just want to beat up wave after wave of […]
It’s fair to say that the horror game has made somewhat of a small comeback in PC gaming, with Outlast being released and now Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. These two titles have brought back atmosphere and more importantly upped the fear factor, with some saying A Machine for Pigs is one of the scariest games […]
