As we enter the world of Steven Speilberg‘s The BFG, an adaptation written by Melissa Mathison, who penned the screenplays of other childhood favourites such as E.T. and Indian in the Cupboard, we find ourselves in a slightly different place than Roald Dahl‘s original classic portrayed. Set in the London of a slightly modern yet […]

I need to re-watch Breaking Bad. Not to annoy anyone on a fine Monday, but were we all a bit taken in? Do you ever walk around thinking “I must watch that again?” I don’t. It’s been a while, and looking back, Breaking Bad doesn’t seem as crazily amazing as it did on the first […]

The new Ghostbusters may be a reboot of the classic 1984 comedy, but be under no illusions, it’s far from a complete analogue. Rather, director Paul Feig has worked to recapture the wit and charm of the original in a new light while still attempting to honor what made the first so entertaining. And despite […]

There seems to be a number of upcoming titles that will be very interesting and […]

The Bartimaeus trilogy is a series of books about magic, mystery and conspiracy and is one of my all-time favourite series. If you can get over the fact the book is technically marketed for children aged nine to twelve, then please give this series a read (case in point: Harry Potter!). To me, it’s one […]

I’ve been on an anime binge as of late. I am catching up the current season stuff while working through older things I’ve let slip. My personal taste or go to Anime usually revolve around magic, girls and mystery! If you throw in some pretty boys and you’ve got yourself a win in my books! So what would […]

Central Intelligence Review – Big Heart, Little Intelligence

On the face of it, Central Intelligence is as standard as standard gets for a studio comedy: two seemingly unfitting actors are placed together for an Odd Couple-style caper, hilarity ensues. And despite being composed of disparate elements, Central Intelligence manages to hang together with enough laughs and genuine charm to gloss over the parts […]

I’m stumped. I’m still thinking “What’s Preacher’s endgame?” after the events of this episode. I don’t know what to make about that ending but it certainly makes things interesting… Anyway, let’s get into it. “STAB HER GENTLY!” Last week we left Jesse at the Flavor Station (where he had been for most of the episode).

Sequels rarely live up to the hype of the originals. That phrase has never been more true than for the sequel to the cult classic Highlander. I am referring to the hot mess that was Highlander II: The Quickening, released in 1991. I could not find a theatrical copy of the film, and so when I did my […]

By the Old Gods and the New, what a finale. Perhaps the greatest one in the history of the series? It certainly went out with fireworks. Usually when I’m lost for words with Thrones it’s from unmitigated horror. This time it’s just awe. The plot takes enormous strides forward with each scene, before breaking into a sprint towards […]
