Film Review: Future Shock: The Story of 2000AD
Note: Though previously published, I wanted to slightly update this review due to the sad passing of artist Kevin O’Neill, who died on the 3rd of November 2022. He was […]
TV Review: The Movies That Made Us – S3/E4: Aliens
Anyone who knows me even a little is likely to know how much of an Aliens fan I am, and to a lesser extent the Alien franchise in general; certainly […]
TV Review: Assembled: The Making of WandaVision
As the first new MCU material since 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, WandaVision had quite a tough job ahead of it – pleasing the hungry Marvel fans who’d been starved […]
TV Review: We Are The Champions
As someone who’s never been into traditional competitive sports, less mainstream types of competition really appeal to me. What I love about Netflix’s We Are The Champions is that it […]
Film Review: Beyond the Mat (1999)
Keeping to the wrestling theme started with yesterday’s review of comic book Invasion From Planet Wrestletopia, I figured it was way past time that I finally covered Barry Blaustein’s brilliant 1999 documentary going behind the scenes of professional wrestling, Beyond the Mat. It’s a remarkable film that covers an awful lot of ground, from amateur hopefuls looking to get their […]
TV Review: The Toys That Made Us – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
After learning about the rise and fall of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe franchise recently by watching – and immensely enjoying – the documentary Power of Grayskull, […]
Film Review: Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
I distinctly remember missing the broadcast of the very first episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in the UK; I was out playing with friends while it was on and we were all extremely jealous of the talk in the playground the next day, having not been able to witness what we were told was an absolutely […]
Film Review: Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau
There are countless tales of movies that never quite saw the light of day; absolutely fascinating stories of seemingly cursed productions where nothing goes right and everything goes down in flames before getting a chance to reach the big screen. Sci-fi is a genre in particular that seems to see more than its fair share of doomed projects, likely because […]
Film Review: Future Shock: The Story of 2000AD
The first time I properly sat and read an issue of 2000AD was in the early 80s. I was with my Dad, visiting one of his mates; his son was older than me and had a copy of the latest prog (that’s ‘issue’ in 2000AD lingo) on the coffee table. I was bored as the adults chatted and started to […]
Review: Maneater
I was far too young for Jaws when I first watched it in the early 80s, but I became obsessed with it – and sharks in general. The fearsome, toothy killers of the deep are a perennially popular oceanic villain too; Shark Week is a thing, of course – and shark horror is essentially its own genre now, even if […]
TV Review: Tiger King
Netflix’s documentary series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness dropped in full on the streaming service on the 20th of March. Since then, it seems like the world has been talking about it, blown away by the layer upon layer of craziness that the documentary throws at you over the course of its seven episodes. Though it’s extremely difficult to […]
Film Review: Depeche Mode: Spirits in the Forest
I’m a bit weird when it comes to music. I struggle with most songs that have lyrics, mostly because I find them so hard to ‘hear’ unless I know what’s […]
