About this time of year people typically post things about what they’ve done over the last year, or even the last decade. I thought about it, but decided not to do that. I could list some of the TV and films I’ve watched but there’s too much and picking out favourites is difficult. Instead I’mContinue reading “Changing media over the last decade”

What happened at MCM
Last weekend was the super busy London MCM Comic Con. For those who’ve never been it’s a massive event at the Excel Centre in London with tens and tens of thousands of people in attendance. I’m always amazed at how many people attend and again it was slightly overwhelming to walk through the vast crowds,Continue reading “What happened at MCM”
A review of 2016
This is going to be a best of the best post for me for 2016 covering TV and films. Not the best ever. Not everything I’ve seen, or read or done, just some of the highlights. Books Book round up first. So this year book 2 (Bloodmage) and book 3 (Chaosmage) were published. And it’sContinue reading “A review of 2016”
Suicide Squad Review
This review has spoilers, small and large. You were warned. I’m writing this a few hours after having seen the film, so that it is still fresh, but I’m probably not going to post it for a while. This is so that I can come back to it and add anything I’ve missed in myContinue reading “Suicide Squad Review”
Robocop (2014)
I didn’t go and see this film at the cinema as I had no desire to see yet another remake, so I waited for it to come out on DVD. The film isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, and as far as remakes go, it was much better than theContinue reading “Robocop (2014)”
Man of Steel
I’ve held off writing a post about this, mostly because I wanted to get some distance from the film, so I could write about it with some perspective. In the end I managed to say everything I wanted to on the latest episode of the Comic Book Outsiders podcast I co-host with Scott Grandison. We’reContinue reading “Man of Steel”
Remakes
In general I’m not a fan of remakes. I understand why they exist, the in-built audience and familiarity with a franchise or character, but my main issue is there are thousands of new ideas out there crying to be developed. Sadly, some amazing ideas will never reach a large audience, because the risk of adaptingContinue reading “Remakes”
Dredd
I absolutely refused to see this film at the cinema when it came out because to begin with it was only available in 3D. In general I’m not a supporter of 3D films. It’s not new technology and in my opinion it’s rarely needed. If the film is relying on 3D to bolster ticket sales,Continue reading “Dredd”
A New New Hope
I could be referring to the recent news about the American election, a result which gives me hope for the future, but I’m actually referencing the news about George Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney for the small sum of $4.05 billion. Disney have already announced that they are going to release Star Wars EpisodeContinue reading “A New New Hope”
I Know Kung Fu
Earlier this week I was one of the hosts on a new podcast I’ve mentioned in a previous post, Bags of Action. I love action movies, so every month a group of people get together and talk about an action movie and then everyone gives it a score. In the first episode we talked aboutContinue reading “I Know Kung Fu”
