Lance Armstrong’s story was one of the closest things we ever got to a real life superhero origin—a man overcoming a death sentence to rule one of the most grueling sporting events in human history. His iconic status was so large that acclaimed documentarian Alex Gibney was set to make a film that would cover […]
So, this coming Sunday is the annual TLC pay per view event, the night of the year where tables, ladders and chairs (oh, my) are promoted as not just weapons, but as stepladders (metaphorically and literally) to the top for WWE Superstars. This event is being given a boost of legitimate pay per view importance […]
Unless you’ve seen Adventure Time it’s hard to explain exactly what it is, because it’s not just a cartoon, it’s an experience. It’s like your brain has taken a sugar overdose and gone on the craziest hyperactive journey it could think up. When watching Adventure Time: The Complete Season One for review, I found after I’d made […]

Welcome, one and all, to this week’s results and review write up on NXT. This week we start things off with the NXT Women’s Champion, Paige, defending her title against the veteran main roster talent of Natalya. The fans seem pumped up for this match, and I am too, these two women are two of […]

Stars: Robert Redford | Written and Directed by J.C. Chandor There are many ways to tell a story. Certain stories focus on the use of words to translate unique experiences to general audiences. In rare occasions, like J.C. Chandor’s latest film All Is Lost, actions not words convey nearly every aspect of the narrative. In […]
So Infinity (w. Jonathan Hickman a. Jim Cheung, Dustin Weaver) concluded what’s been an interesting if not exactly mind-blowing run. The Avengers return to earth to sort out Thanos and his nasty mates, Maximus of the Inhumans cracks wise and saves the world and Rocket Raccoon makes an all-too brief (like, one panel appearance). The […]
Stars: Bruce Dern, June Squibb, Will Forte, Stacy Keach, Bob Odenkirk | Written by Bob Nelson | Directed by Alexander Payne Alexander Payne’s latest film Nebraska is a soothing venture that goes down easy like a gentle folksong. It embodies the personality of its rustic characters with a straightforward approach that is unaware of its own honesty. […]

Last month (November 23rd & 24th to be precise) saw the MCM Comic Con and Memorabilia show take place at the NEC in Birmingham. We were there on the Saturday, checking out all the delights on offer and spending way too much money (on Blu-rays, Funko Pop vinyls and much more) and grabbing autographs and […]
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 […]
Welcome to this week’s results and review of WWE RAW. The first RAW of December is under way. The show opens with “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour playing and CM Punk making his way down the aisle and to the squared circle as we see a replay of The Shield attacking Punk last week. […]
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 […]
