By all accounts, this hasn’t been a standout year for animation aimed at younger viewers. Even the most successful and acclaimed example, The LEGO Movie, was, if anecdotal evidence is to be believed, more popular with older audiences with many children being reportedly quite bored amidst all the post-modern gags and clever, subversive humor.

Fandoms are a strange and sometimes frightening world to the wary outsider, and certainly they can seem quite hard to elbow your way into when you’re more than a little fashionably late in handing in your application. My own tardiness to Hogwarts came as a direct result of one of my oldest friends being so […]

There’s no doubt that right now, young adult film adaptations are the current trend in Hollywood.

Not only did 2004’s Shaun of the Dead essentially define the zombie romantic comedy, or zom-rom-com, sub-genre, but it also then left a gaping hole behind it for film-makers of the living dead to fill with their own twist on the formula. Unfortunately, since then, the turn-over for zombie comedies with a romantic twist has […]

Geek; a person who has excessive enthusiasm for a specialized subject or activity I have always worn the geek badge with pride, I don’t think the definition above fits perfectly but it works, despite that niggly word ‘excessive’. I don’t know the exact moment I became one, I don’t know why I love what I […]
