I had wanted to see this film when it came out, loving the trailer, but it looked to shaky for my lovely wife to see, so I did not see it. I should have watched it once it’s song “Falling Slowly”...
View ArticleSeriously, that is the ending to Mass Effect 3?
I have been a huge fan of this series since the first, so have put in a good 70+ hours into this series, and have thought it was easily the best game ever made. Great gameplay, great graphics, a...

I saw the trailer for this one, and like Paul Rudd, so I wanted to see this, and I did enjoy it, but it is certainly a bit of a snoozer. And it isn’t helped by the horribly shaky camerwork, which I am...
View ArticleHer written and directed by Spike Jones (2013)
I was really looking forward to Spike Jones’s quirky science fiction love story, but this, like many films recently is a bit of a snoozer. And it is pretty weird. Funny and enjoyable at points, but the...
View ArticleThe Night of the Doctor by John Hayes (2013)
As a huge fan of the 8th Doctor Paul McGann and his Big Finish Audio Adventures, this short film is literally a gift from Steven Mophat. Not only do we finally get to see the 8th Doctors regeneration,...
