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 →

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 →
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 →
