The GX4000 was Amstrad’s short-lived attempt to enter the games console market. With a higher spec graphics card and more memory Amstrad saw the GX4000 as serious competition for Sega’s Master System and market leaders Nintendo’s NES. The 8-Bit console was into the European market in September 1990 […]
I was so looking forward to Christmas. The tenth series of Doctor Who finished with an astonishing cliffhanger, revealing the First Doctor — played by Game of Thrones’ David Bradley — would play a fundamental role in the multi-doctor Christmas special later this year. But it was all […]
Netflix originals are popping up left and right and seem to be making their way onto everyone’s must see lists. Shows like Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, and Daredevil have all captured the interest of a wide range of audiences. However, you may […]
At 2am on Monday the 22nd of May I raised my cup of Damn Fine Coffee and re-entered the realm of Twin Peaks. There was a deep humming noise. There were incomprehensible scenes of nothing happening, followed by scenes of nothing comprehensible happening. There were heart-warming appearances from […]
Peter Capaldi has joined Steven Moffat in announcing that season ten will be his last full series of Doctor Who. As has become the tradition Capaldi will regeneration into the thirteenth Doctor during this years Christmas special. Even though both Capaldi and Moffat have faced criticism during their […]
Since the release of Rogue One people have been wanting to know more about the character Saw Gerrera (played in the movie by Forest Whitaker) – so we have dug deep into revealing all we can about him. Saw Gerrera (voiced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars by Andrew Kishino) […]
Between Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and the upcoming Wonder Woman, DC could have introduced a number of female characters that at this point we would be excited at seeing team up, but that would involve planning and not knee jerk reactions. Instead […]
Nicolas Cage named his son after Superman and once owned a castle. He’s been a sex symbol, an Oscar-winner and a punchline. A man from the school of acting where every line of dialogue must either be whispered or screamed. He’s Nicolas Cage, and he might be the Internet’s […]
It was 2007 when director Edgar Wright dropped Hot Fuzz on us. The film was written by Wright and Simon Pegg and featured long time collaborator Nick Frost. It is referred to as the second film of the “Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy” which includes Shaun of the Dead […]
Last week’s Flash episode “Welcome to Earth 2” (Season 2, Episode 13) has the potential to change the game for the DC Universe on the film and TV screen. No longer will they need to be mocked for their awkward planning and rushing of ideas. No longer do […]
There’s a scene in the Wizard of Oz. Having killed the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy returns to the Emerald City. The Wizard delays her request to grant her well-deserved reward and as she argued, Toto pulled open a curtain exposing the “Wizard” as a normal man. “Pay no […]
With the eleventh Doctor Who Christmas Special of the modern era this year I thought it’d be a good time to count down the previous ten. I’ve decided to not include the William Hartnell era ‘The Feast of Steven’ for three reasons; one it’s not from the modern […]
Everyone loves ‘Back to the Future’ don’t they? But be honest, you’ve been conditioned to like this film. Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Do you think it’s really a good movie or is it because you watched it as a kid? Isn’t it time you dropped this “nostalgia for […]
The other day, for no good reason, I started to watch Avatar. This in itself was unusual, because I have always found the success of the film to be a phenomenon as baffling as string theory. Avatar has the power to turn an otherwise decent, functional person into a raving […]
Iron Man has a cool suit. But that’s it. If you took the suit away he’s just a cocky rich arse, a crap Batman without the pathos. He’s smarmy and over-privileged, his movies have a weird lack of coherent storytelling and even his villains are lame. Even Iron […]
Do you think Star Wars was great? Sorry to break it to you, but it’s actually a big pile of pump. Not the prequel trilogy, not the original films, not the Holiday Special, the Clone Wars series, the dozens of video games or even the toys. All of […]
Back in 1989 two dudes known as Bill S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) – together they were known as Wyld Stalyns – needed to pass history or the future of all mankind was doomed. They were assisted by a guy from the […]
Alan Partridge: Right, OK. Shoestring, Taggart, Spender, Bergerac, Morse. What does that say to you about regional detective series? Tony Hayers: There’s too many of them? Alan Partridge: That’s one way of looking at it, another way of looking at it is, people like them, let’s make some […]
With all the chatter regarding Secret Wars it is easy to get caught up in the hype that surrounds it. Looking deeper though it would seem that perhaps Marvel had no other choice than to pull a “Crisis.” We all know how successful the Marvel films have been […]
I say to people I am a gamer, and to me being a gamer means spending at least 3 hours a day with a mouse and keyboard or controller in my hand, but then again i have been known to be wrong… occasionally. To most other people this […]
