Blu-ray: Wild Things (1998) Alas, they don’t make film like this anymore. What’s that? NO sigh of relief from Tina? No feminist outburst? Nope, just a genuine lament at the loss of ‘sex-thrillers’ such as Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction and director Jon Macnaughton’s Wild Things. Apparently star and producer Kevin Bacon said this script was […]
Blu-ray, DVD & Digital: Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2021) Having not watched 2014’s Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, I went into this sequel hesitant as to how much of the narrative would be reliant on a knowledge of the events so far. I needn’t have worried though, as despite some of the lore of this particular undead […]
The first time I was properly made aware of the concept of verticality in a video game was around 2016, in a review for that year’s triumphant return to the DOOM franchise. In that instance, TotalBiscuit (RIP) described how Doom 2016 built upon the scrappy, rapid yet meticulous combat of its progenitors by adding platforming […]

We next see him alone in his own room, away from the other injured soldiers in a VA hospital and refusing to see his fiancé Ellen (Theresa Wright). Cared for […]
I enjoy side-scrolling shoot ’em ups, or shmups as they are often referred to, as they remind me of a more innocent time when I played a lot of them in arcades or on my home computer. I’ve reviewed a few of my favourites including U.N. Squadron and Apidya to name a couple.If you’ve played […]
The last time I saw Joe Bonamassa do a solo show was way back in December of 2009 at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. It goes without saying the venue I saw him play this past Friday was quite the step up!A huge crowd had assembled for the second of two nights at […]
Number 25 in 101 Films “Black Label” range of releases (make sure to read my review of their previous Black Label release Snowtown), Johnny Mnemonic is a 1995 sci-fi/action movie set in the far flung future of 2021…which is scarily accurate at times, with citizens of Beijing all wearing face masks!Keanu Reeves (fresh off the […]
After reviewing the original release of Lawn Mowing Simulator last year, then jumping back onto my mowers just before Christmas to review the Ancient Britain DLC, I’m once again risking setting off my hay fever by cutting some more grass in the new Dino Safari DLC.Much like the previous DLC, this adds a few new […]
