Review: Willy’s Wonderland
Streaming: Willy’s WonderlandNicolas Cage stars as ‘The Janitor’, a man of few words (very few words) who finds himself tasked with cleaning up the titular ‘Willy’s Wonderland’ (an abandoned funhouse) in order to pay off his repair bill to a local garage after his car ran over some spikes left on the road by the towns […]
Review: Dry Drowning
Dry Drowning is a psychological investigative visual novel set in a futuristic dystopian city.

Review: Pang Adventures
Pang (AKA Buster Bros) has been around for years. My first memory of playing it was on an old arcade machine in a dodgy kebab shop a long time ago. Like the best games, the idea is simple. You control one of the Buster Bros who can move left and right. You have a hook […]
Review: The Nightingale
Blu-ray: The Nightingale (2018) Imagine if awards ceremonies weren’t absolute shite. If only truly really GOOD films were allowed to be entered and then won.

Batman: Arkham VR RetrospectiveIn my latest quest to get 100% trophies, I decided to revisit Batman: Arkham VR to grab a few which I missed when I last played it in 2016. I’ve been playing quite a few PSVR games lately, so I was looking forward to diving a bit deeper in the world of The […]
Review: The Buddy Holly Story
Blu-ray: The Buddy Holly Story (1978)Made just 19 years after Holly’s tragic death aged 22 in a freak crash along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, The Buddy Holly Story is a surprise, and perhaps one of the best music biography’s I’ve seen. This is largely due to an Oscar-nominated lead performance by Gary Busey, and […]
