Barbarian is the only film I have ever watched where I was rooting for a character who was an entitled rich asshole with rape allegations surrounding his name. Not because he was actually a cool, misunderstood guy, but because he was the most perfect kind of coward for a movie as willing to make you... Continue Reading →
Millions of years ago Godzilla apparently hooked up with Rodan, the big pterodactyl monster, because this film is about the two having a custody battle over their infant son. Seeing the destruction they cause, social services - that is to say the Japanese government - step in and attempt to keep the child away from... Continue Reading →
As though the sea reboots in cinema wasn't enough, it has now seeped into gaming. The 2019 Modern Warfare is a remake of the fourth Call of Duty game of the same name, which released over a decade prior. It features all the same characters filling all the same roles, but has a vastly different... Continue Reading →
I was pleasantly surprised by All Quiet on the Western Front. Not that I thought it would be bad or anything, just that war movies, with the exception of Saving Private Ryan (cliché as it is to say that), aren't usually my thing. This is the third adaptation of the book of the same name,... Continue Reading →
Of Mice and Men was always tied first place (alongside Lord of the Flies) for being my favourite book studied during high school literature. But was the film any good? Well... What can be said of it is that it's not a bad movie. It's certainly not poorly made. But I don't think this story... Continue Reading →

Convoluted as it sounds they're also one of the game's... Continue Reading →
Reviewing The Menu is, at first, a little strange, as it seems to be against the whole point of the film to do so. It's a film about art and being critical of our consumption of that art - be it from a fanboy perspective, a critic's perspective, or even that of the most regular,... Continue Reading →
Never been much of a Scream fan to be honest, which is odd considering what little I have seen of the franchise I have liked, and the fact that slashers are probably my favourite horror subgenre. Before this I'd seen only the original Scream and the first season of the Netflix TV show. Again, I... Continue Reading →
Trees give us oxygen. They eat carbon dioxide. They look really pretty. And they are essential for making so many, many things... And now, a band of hippie Wood Elves has decided that trees need to be preserved at all cost. Yes, Total War: Warhammer comes with it's own band of environmental activist, but who...
