This week we take a look at another film adaptation of an originally animated property, one that has admittedly been covered before by more experienced critics, and one that is often cited as one of the worst adaptations of all time; The Last Airbender. The film that may well be eternally considered the nadir of […]
Death Note, a Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba, and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. Another western, live-action adaptation of a previously animated Japanese property, and those do not have a good reputation. So, can Netflix’s one buck the trend? However, first thing’s first, a little apology. I’m more than a little late this week, but […]
A new Uncharted game, only without its possibly iconic main character, Nathan Drake. Does Uncharted: The Lost Legacy live up to the reputation of its predecessors, and can Chloe Frazer adequately fill Drake’s shoes? In my opinion, the answer to both of these questions is mostly, yes. Possible spoilers beyond this point. The first thing […]
So Gamescom came and went over the last week, and I thought I would talk about that a little bit. Now obviously larger sites than this have covered the even, and I can’t compete with them. So I thought I would just mention what were some of the highlights for me. So, let’s take a […]
Now that the full series is (finally) up on Netflix, let’s take a little look at this tale of whimsy and magic, shall we? Normally when I hear something described as “fun for all the family” I just kind of roll my eyes, because what this usually means is that it’s a film aimed at […]
So, opinion time! Metroid Prime: Federation Force is a game that released almost a year ago at time of writing, to an almost overwhelming negative fan response; even though it mostly received ratings of average, from professional reviewers. Now that tempers have been cooled a little by the announcement of two more Metroidgames for the […]
Come with me back in time, as I review a game from January of this year. Hey, I wasn’t doing this blog back then. Okay, first things first, this is a game in the mould of Koei-Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors, so if you know those games you will have an idea of what the gameplay is […]
So, do you ever get the feeling that you like something that you usually wouldn’t? Because that’s the type of feeling I got when I first read Murcielago. This review is for volume 1, which contains chapters 0 to 5, plus a bonus chapter. Be warned, this manga has the “explicit content” label for a […]
So the latest Justice League trailer was dropped at San Diego Comicon over the weekend, and I have to admit that I’m pretty excited by it. So here’s hoping the film is a good as the trailer made it look. Now, I’m one of those people who wasn’t particularly enamoured by Man of Steel or […]
Dunkirk, possibly one of the greatest disasters in British military history, where Britain very nearly lost the war. Creating a film based on such traumatic historical events must be an incredibly daunting task, but Christopher Nolan handles it well. Beware, there are possibly some spoilers ahead. From the very beginning the film emphasis the hopelessness […]
