Arrested Development Series 4 Review
I really didn’t like this when I sat down to watch the first 3 episodes on Monday night (having originally thought it was released on Saturday, then realised after a drunken Sunday and most of a hungover Monday that it was indeed there). I felt that the show was suffering from the odd structure, lack of chemistry due to half the cast not being in the same room as each other, confusing pacing and Portia […]

Review: The Hangover III
At a Glance: A truly funny film with some unexpected turns. The funny bits that you have already seen in the adverts are shown in the first five minutes, which is great as it makes it more unpredictable. There are no dull moments, even the quiet parts of the film are funny and filled with hilarious social awkwardness. A bit darker than it’s predecessors but you’ll laugh through the insanity. Quality 6/10 Entertainment 10/10 […]

“The Name of the Doctor” S07E13 Doctor Who Review
Spoilers! Steven Moffat is a tease. He goes and calls an episode ‘The Name of the Doctor’ and of course, reveals something completely different. Not that I fully understand what he revealed, but at least he revealed something. This almost happened the wrong way round though, as someone in the Doctor Who offices fucked up big time and sent 210 blu-rays of the complete series 7 part 2 out to American fans about a week […]

“Amuse-Bouche” S01E02 Hannibal Review
After the very promising series opener ‘Aperitif’ last week, we were hoping this week would be more of the same. Well the performances are as sound, the script just as sharp, and the uck factor very much present. So is it as good or perhaps better? Well unfortunately the quick answer is no. Apparently Hannibal’s US ratings have dropped significantly, and on episode three, which is a massive signpost to the fault lying with this […]

Review: Star Trek: Into Darkness
At a Glance: Definitely worth seeing. It’s an all-out action blockbuster that doesn’t let up, you’ll not be bored for a second but that also means you don’t get a break. The hand-to-hand fights are on a surprisingly brutal level for a 12A rated film which is quite refreshing as other big budget movies would tone it down for larger audiences. There are no unexpected turns so no need to bring your thinking cap, just strap in […]

“Nightmare in Silver” S07E12 Doctor Who Review
I’m not sure where to begin with this episode of Doctor Who. I walked away from watching it with no real feeling about it. Would I be keen to watch it again? Probably not. Would I throw a tantrum if someone put it on? Probably not. And that’s not really great is it? Yes sure, it wasn’t bad, but then it wasn’t brilliant either, and with this series being fairly hit and miss already I […]
