Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Supergirl… There are those who will consider this a bad idea. Not Supergirl. That remains a good idea poorly executed. Anyone who sat through the Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway travesty will understand where I am coming from. No, what I am talking about is having a man review […]
Video Game Review – Whispering Willows
Martin Carr reviews Whispering Willows… I am a fan of haunted mansions. Whether exploring a dilapidated annexe or traversing creaky stairwells, there is much to be said for anything which provides that type of locale. Whispering Willows may not have the heavy artillery, and perpetual moaning of the undead outside like Resident Evil. Yet there […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 5 Review – ‘Scarification’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Gotham Season 2… Back history, pipe bombs and flame retardant arsonists are just a few things on offer this week in Gotham. Giving us an antique blade, old wife’s tale and a suitably creepy woman to impart said story just adds atmosphere. With Penguin still on a choke […]
Video Game Review – Elite: Dangerous
Martin Carr reviews Elite: Dangerous… Elite: Dangerous should come with a health warning. This game is not designed for the novice. Ported over from PC with no graphical compromise and minimal lag, Frontier has offered up an open world experience Xbox One style. That it comes with a list of YouTube based training tutorials, which […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Strike Force’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Gotham season 2… Adding a militant edge to this show was someone else’s bright idea. Gotham needed something to combat the rise of these villains and their answer came in spades this week. By bringing in Michael Chiklis as Nathaniel Barnes, show runners have hopefully brought someone capable […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 12 Review – ‘Dead End’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of The Strain season 2… In typical fashion I am yet again running to catch up. Procrastination should replace my middle name as Christian no longer seems adequate. Legend has it that Robert Towne, master screenwriter, was horrendous at finishing things. There would always be a reason, an emergency, or […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 13 Review – ‘Night Train’
Martin Carr reviews the season finale episode of The Strain season 2… A slaughter house and the promise of processed carcasses is one stark metaphor for a finale. In this respect The Strain spares no quarter in its desire to push the boundaries of expectation. Like a grand high executioner Eichorst bears witness to this feat […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘The Last Laugh’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Gotham season 2… Storm clouds are gathered and winter is coming but this is no Game of Thrones. As Essen bleeds out and Gordon’s face turns to Mount Rushmore, you feel some serious shit is being thrown down. This is Straight Outta Compton crossed with New Jack City […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 10 Review – ‘The Assassin’
Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of The Strain season 2… Does anyone remember The Day of the Jackal? Not the sub-standard, Bruce Willis pay check movie where David Addison dyed his hair blonde. I mean the Edward Fox effort which portrayed a cold blooded, calculating killer wrapped up in a web of deceit. Before […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 11 Review – ‘Dead End’
Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of The Strain season 2… This is a two hander with some history thrown in. Split evenly between The Mayfield Hotel and Nazi Germany circa 1931 to 1935, The Strain proves adept once more at weaving a compelling web. You always had the inkling that Thomas Eichorst was a […]
