We all have that movie that was shoved into the VCR during times when we needed a pick-me-up. When we were sick, by a mother desperate to stifle our whiny moans of a sore tummy, or after eating too much junk food, or to cleanse our viewing palette after Saturday morning cartoons. For me, that […]

We all have those shows we’ve been watching for what seems like forever. When people bad-mouth them, we rush in and put our feet squarely down on the idea. Thou shalt not diss! Unfortunately, the universe is a constantly changing place. Nothing is permanent; not even writers or quality, no matter how much we wish […]

No matter what level of gamer you are you know that, in gaming, there is always that one boss or that one fight that made us grit our teeth, scream, shout and nearly whack our screens with the controller. Now, imagine thirteen of them in one game series. The Kingdom Hearts series has some stand […]

On this week’s Yesflix/NoFlix, we’re heading into the unknown with a massive culture shock. We’re all familiar with the classic story of a clueless traveller having to make-do in a foreign land. Perhaps they don’t speak the language. They certainly don’t know the customs of the locals. Situations like these can be hilarious and awkward, […]

So, I’ve been singing the theme song for this show in my head for most of my adult life. If I’m being honest, it’s probably one of the best intros in cartoon history, but that’s just my opinion. This was one of those shows you raced home to watch; flinging your schoolbag into a corner […]

There’s nothing quite like a Monday morning to make you feel like you’re about to head into battle. You’ll wake up groggy and grumpy after too little sleep due to an impromptu Netflix marathon. Then you’ll drag yourself to the kitchen and sigh to yourself as you make a sub-par breakfast of stale coco pops […]

Daredevil: The man without fear. Also the man that suddenly justified this month’s Netflix subscription. Yeah, that guy. Some of you now might have heard that Marvel’s scarlet swashbuckler landed his own show with Netflix, tied directly into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Blinded by radioactive chemicals as a child, Matt Murdock soon realized his remaining senses had been […]

I first thought about writing this review when the BBFC re-released Stanley Kubrick‘s classic 2oo1: A Space Odyssey in 2014 and then again following Christopher Nolan‘s Interstellar that same year. When Ex_Machina came out, it occurred to me once more. I kept looking for what seemed like a fitting occasion to pick up the novel that Arthur C. Clarke wrote in tandem with the Kubrick […]
