For a show that is all about time travel, it’s pretty damn frustrating that I can’t hop into my own TARDIS (Kervyn’s smelly port-a-pottie is not bigger on the inside) and see the upcoming 50th anniversary special, Day of the Doctor. What I can do however, is satiate that Gallifreyan need for more Doctor Who by bombarding your peepers with new pictures, …
The latest true-life thriller from director Paul Greengrass – and most recent bit of evidence that Tom Hanks is an acting god – reduced Nick and I to simpering messes – and that’s after taking a few years off our lives with insane tension. I felt that Captain Phillips brought it all to the table , from deft directing, great scripting …
Every great hero has a villain that defines them. Batman has the Joker. The Doctor has the Master. And James Bond has Ernst Stavro Blofeld. We haven’t seen too much of the pussy-stroker (I meant the cat you perves) since Roger Moore did us all a favour and dropped him down a chimney stack via the ol’ helicopter and wheelchair …
Perhaps sensing that the Playstation 4 launch would steal many a customer away from cinema seats, the North American box office only saw one new notable release.

Plenty of other folks have tried to emulate that success and get some of that sword and sorcery pie for themselves, but they’ve all failed. Badly. One film that could forge something to rival a hairy-footed ring-bearer? Warcraft, a series of games …
If you had told twenty years ago that the goofy bartender from Cheers would be playing a seriously intimidating bad guy, opposite not only the little kid from Empire of the Sun who grew up to become arguably the best Batman ever, but also the new Batman’s younger brother, I would probably have given you a serious taste of the side eye. But these are …
I’ve a done quite a few articles already about comic books that should be adapted for the big/small screen. One comic I never had on any of my lists though, despite it being one of my all time favourites? Grant Ennis and Steve Dillon’s Preacher. It’s honestly one of the greatest comics ever written, but also one of the most controversial, …
Is Kill la Kill the weirdest, wildest anime series of 2013? Yes, yes it is.
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
