So the Last of Us TV show launched and I mean... eh? It's undeniably a step up from what has come to be expected from most videogame adaptations - that normally being that mediocrity is the high bar. But it's still not particularly special and really doesn't justify it's own existence in any way. The... Continue Reading →
Don't make me angry were my thoughts going into this one. I had an itch to watch Hulk break things but didn't recall this film being very good. But on some level movies like this always entertain me - giant monsters punching each other that is - like I can't turn off the child in... Continue Reading →
The Incredible Shrinking Man is a film that catches you off guard. Not because a man doesn't shrink - a man certainly does shrink in this one, rest assured - but because it at first feels like it's going to be high concept. Y'know, watch a man shrink and have fun at the whacky antics.... Continue Reading →
Dwarf Fortress is a game that has been under constant development for twenty years and recently got a Steam release. It's a game that's always had it's circles of praise, but a number of accessibility issues like where to buy it, a convoluted UI and control scheme, have kept me away from it. But now,...

Mark Wahlberg's in it, and there's lots of CGI so it should be a film, right? Wrong. Transformers isn't a film. You might now be expecting... Continue Reading →
There were a few TV shows I watched last year that I wanted to give my thoughts on but simply never got around to doing full reviews of. It's not really a secret that TV is kind of the outlier on this blog, with the main focus being films and gaming, but I do like... Continue Reading →
I never was into plays when it came to literature. I liked watching them if I ever happened to be in the theatre, but script reading wasn't for me. What didn't help was that I wasn't keen on the teacher who taught us A Streetcar Named Desire or the way she taught it. She wasn't... Continue Reading →
Dark of the Moon is one hell of a boring piece of crap movie, which serves to only emphasise Bay's flaws as a director and... Nothing else. Everything bad I had to say about the previous two films is double downed on here - the unending runtime, the stereotypes, the propaganda, the horny cinematography, the... Continue Reading →
