There are many ways games can make one's brain release dopamine. One way is by making you shoot dudes in hilarious ways, and another might be to make numbers go up by clicking stuff. Vampire Survivors takes both of those things and sticks them together in one of the most shockingly satisfying ways I've recently... Continue Reading →
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Review – Ultimate Excess
In my review of the first Transformers movie I noted that, while it was what surrounded the movie that made it interesting, I could see why people liked it as a relatively solid action blockbuster. I also said I didn't understand how people could like the cynical sequels for anything but their context. And... I... Continue Reading →
Transformers (2007) Review
The first Transformers movie came out in a different time. A time where a movie designed to do nothing but sell toys and make cool visuals wasn't so ashamed of doing that; and the fact it wore that on it's sleeve levelled the playing field between itself and it's audience. Now days - and indeed... Continue Reading →

Films ranked in descending order with twelve being the worst film I watched this year, and one... Continue Reading →
Cut Short: Violent Night (2022)
As much as I enjoyed Violent Night, there's not a lot to say about it. It's about Santa Clause deciding to give up on Christmas until he finds a family being held hostage by mercenaries, and his big warm heart urges him to help free them. Santa then proceeds to rip out eye balls, set... Continue Reading →
Logan (2017) Review
2017 might not have been that long ago in the grand scheme of things, but the number of superhero movies to have released since then has surely been massive - that's discounting spin-off shows and tie-in shorts. And what is quite remarkable is that it seems very few, if any at all, took a look... Continue Reading →
Doctor Who Season 1 Review – Eccleston’s One Season Roundabout
So... I watched a whole lot of Doctor Who and need to talk about it. Specifically season 1, the soft reboot of the series after the 1996 movie didn't do so well. This season puts a lot of distance between itself and the classic Doctor Who stories, mainly to appeal to a new generation of... Continue Reading →
