Review: My Neighbour Adolf
Cinema & Digital: My Neighbour Adolf (2022)My Neighbour Adolf is a bit of an odd film, with just the title alone anyone would think it was a maybe…a comedy? Or some sort of Fried Barry type experience. With financing from Israel, Poland and Colombia, and all those languages spoken in it, it’s a film that […]

Live Event: EGX 2022
EGX 2022 returned to the London Excel arena, but would it be back to the full experience last seen in 2019, (pre-Covid) or a more scaled-back show similar to 2021? The truth is that EGX 2022 had more in common with last year’s event, with more of a focus on indie games, but there were […]
