Aaaah Nightfall, how I wanted to love you with all my heart. A new Halo series produced by Ridley Scott you say? What could possibly go wrong? Well, quite a bit it would seem….

Simpsorama! The Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Review
A show out of ideas teams up with a show out of episodes. Whereas The Simpsons and Family Guy crossover episode earlier this year mirrored its double billing with a double length running time, Simpsorama is a brisk 20 minute jaunt which whilst is certainly funny, simply doesn’t have enough time to become anything more meaningful…
Boardwalk Empire: Season 5 Review
“Mrs. Thompson said you want to be good, but you don’t know how.” So we reach the end of the tale of Nucky Thompson’s rise and fall, as the criminally under-watched and underrated Boardwalk Empire closes shop on its fifth and final season. In my review of the season five opener I predicted an overarching theme…
The Strain: Season One Review
“Love, you see, is the one force that cannot be explained, cannot be broken down into a chemical process. It is the beacon that guides us back home when no one is there, an the light that illuminates our loss. Its absence robs us of all pleasure, of our capacity for joy. It makes our…
The Walking Dead “No Sanctuary” Review
“They’re gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out….they’re screwin’ with the wrong people.” The Walking Dead made its long awaited return this week, and it did so with a zombie filled explosive bang. No Sanctuary kicked off season 5 of everyone’s favourite post apocalyptic zombie drama by picking up where we left off last season,…
Gone Girl Review
“What are you thinking? What are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?” Dark, tense, dramatic, thrilling, Gone Girl is perhaps one of the best films of the year to date. For his 10th feature film, director David Fincher turns the screw on the audience, and ekes out two incredible…
Destiny Review – One Month In
Come October 9th, it will have been one month since Destiny was released into the wild. After one month, and 30+ hours of gameplay, I’m close to hitting the wall. One month and 30+ hours of what Bungie claimed would be a 10 years of planned content, narrative and development of the Destiny universe. So where…
The Simpsons/ Family Guy Crossover Review
With The Simpsons entering it 26th season, and Family Guy entering its 13th, these two much loved shows are perhaps both past their primes, but the novelty of seeing both families duke it on screen is a something that provides in part moments of greatness, in part missed opportunities, as well as a smattering of simply bizarre moments.
Godzilla (2014) Review
“The arrogance of men is thinking nature is in their control and not the other way around. Let them fight.” Gareth Edwards follows up his feature debut Monsters with his take on the biggest monster of them all, Godzilla. Hitting the reset button on the franchise just 16 years after the 1998 Roland Emmerich film of the same…
Boardwalk Empire “Golden Days For Boys and Girls” Review
Be honest and true, boys! Whatever you do, boys, let this be your motto through life. Both now and forever, be this your endeavor, when wrong with the right is at strife. The best and the truest; Alas! Are the fewest; but be one of these if you can.
Lucy Review
Luc Besson’s relentless ‘Lucy’ is his best film in over a decade, but is still no classic.
