I remember really really hating this movie for some reason when I was younger. I can't remember why, I'd have only been 15 when it came out. It's not like I was becoming some sort of film snob either at that age, I was just coming off the back of declaring Godzilla 2014 to be... Continue Reading →
Back when I was doing Blaugust I said in my review of Jennette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died that I really wanted to get back into reading. And while her book did absorb my life for the duration of time it took me to read it, afterwards I just sort of didn't read anything... Continue Reading →
No, it's not. But that comes with the territory. Yes I'm talking about Amazon's Rings of Power TV show and the critisisms of it's lore breaking and general willingness to make change/unwillingness to be a direct adaptation of lore. This critisism online has circulated as the phrase "it's not Tolkein." To be clear this post... Continue Reading →

I actually thought, 'no wonder they wanted to remake this', which isn't common given the era of constant sequels/reboots/remakes we currently live in. But no, this movie was a surprise....

Total War Warhammer III released in February of this year and I've been wanting to review it for a long time, but no time ever seems right. The game is so frequently updated, broken, fixed again and being built upon that I feel as though most of what I say will be outdated in a... Continue Reading →
It's not that common of an occurrence, but when it does come up that I write reviews on my corner of the internet I'm sometimes met with the question of 'how do you do it'? It's a bit odd because it's not like I'm ending world hunger, but the question is phrased and inflated in... Continue Reading →
Ah, Skyfall. The one that went, 'what if we slowly steered Craig's Bond back to what Bond used to be'. This is where Craig's series started to be more cheesy - not that, as I've noted, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace weren't also over the top. But here's where there was a real tonal...
