Well here we are, another Sunday and that can only mean another instalment of Otaku Digest. So far I think we can all agree the winter season has been very fruitful for new anime series, although there have been no real heavy hitters yet we are hopeful and enjoying what we have.  I know most […]

Needless to say I was not the only one who was thoroughly excited for the reboot of the Cassandra Clare The Mortal Instruments series, following the Hollywood flop adaptation of City of Bones (2013). The book series was quick witted with a strong but funny leading lady and a story that actually kept fans reading, […]

[This article contains spoilers – read on if that doesn’t bother you!] In its entirety, Marvel’s Secret Wars had some really […]

Creed, the new film in the Rocky saga has been met with near unanimous praise for it’s heart, characters and the fresh approach to the formula. It’s hard to believe that a film of such integrity and realism is just two installments ahead of the unpardonable drivel that is Rocky IV. For those who don’t […]

I don’t know where the Internet and its netizens developed an obsession with cats and kittens but as far back as I can remember the world wide web has always worshipped felines. Lolcats, grumpy cat, cheezburgr have grown so big they’re a cornerstone of internet pop culture and those only scratch the surface. We love everything […]

If there’s one thing The Revenant achieves, it’s that it completely disperses any doubt of Alejandro González Iñárritu as a film-maker.

The gorgeous, huge landscapes […]

Y’all have no idea how ridiculously excited I am to be writing Comicphiles this week. I know we say it every week, but narrowing this list down to just three is honestly impossible. Despite being a self confessed Marvel obsessive,  I tried super-duper hard to include non-marvel #1’s, in my top three this week. Totes swearsies! […]

Review: Sherlock – ‘The Abominable Bride’

In the spirit of Doctor Who, the latest adventure of BBC’s Sherlock is a Victorian-era spinoff from the main series – a Christmas special, of sorts. Same cast, setting, tone and film-making prowess, but with Victorian London as the backdrop as opposed to modern. Though the series has become an event in the TV calendar […]
