DVD & Blu-ray: Kursk-The Last Mission (2018) Kursk: The Last Mission is a dramatisation of the 2000 K-141 Kursk submarine disaster, where Russian bureaucracy, failing technology, and a series of unfortunate accidents, all came together to claim the lives of 188 men.

Review: Astro Bot Rescue Mission
A few years ago, I wrote about my love for PSVR and proudly proclaimed it as number one in my top ten video games of 2016. I (quite rightly) received a bit of criticism from people who said “PSVR isn’t a game you fool!” Although I was maybe a little misguided in my praise, I’m […]

Thoughts on Fallout
For me, Fallout’s world has always intrigued me, and for years I’ve tried to play Fallout games, always giving up at certain stages.

The hottest band in the world…KISS” I’ve heard the above introduction 31 times at KISS concerts across the UK since becoming a fan (some may say “obsessed with”) back in 1979. I’ve also had the pleasure of hearing that introduction MANY times over the years at Dressed […]
Review: Memory – The Origins of Alien
Memory: The Origins of Alien is the latest documentary written and directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, famous for ‘78/52’ the documentary which fetishistically dissected Hitchcock’s shower scene so eloquently. He now turns his gaze onto Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic, Alien.
