Rachel Bellwoar reviews the fourth episode of Marvel’s The Gifted… Marvel’s The Gifted hasn’t been one to shy away from politics but in ‘eXit strategy’ it’s the politics of war that are in the forefront, with multiple characters questioning whether their actions can be forgiven by the constraints of wartime. The primary mission this episode is to save Polaris […]
Video Game Review – Echo
Calum Petrie reviews Echo… From my first impressions of the trailer I was expecting Echo to be a totally new experience. It has been a while since I immersed myself in a single player linear experience, and this was something I was more than ready to dive into. The game is a journey of one […]
Comic Book Review – Batman/The Flash: The Button Deluxe Edition
Ricky Church reviews Batman/The Flash: The Button Deluxe Edition… When DC rebooted their comic line last year, they left a very surprising twist at the end of DC Universe Rebirth #1 when Batman found a very familiar-looking blood-stained smily face button stuck in the wall of the Batcave. Meanwhile, Flash was given a warning by Wally […]
Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Lethe’
Alex Moreland reviews the sixth episode of Star Trek: Discovery… All my life, the conflict inside me has been between logic and emotion. But now, it’s my emotions that are hiding. In my review of the first episode, I spoke a little about the parallels between Michael Burnham and Spock: “Much as Spock was the […]
Video Game Review – Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 2 ‘Brave New World’
Shaun Munro reviews Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 2 ‘Brave New World’… Though the middle chapter of Life is Strange‘s prequel series doesn’t feel hugely eventful in terms of the story’s bigger picture (and what exactly that is still remains pretty unclear), it does a mostly stellar job of deepening the characters of Chloe […]
Comic Book Review – Optimus Prime: First Strike #1
Ricky Church reviews Optimus Prime: First Strike #1… Its not unusual for a big comic book event to have several tie-in issues to the main series, telling companion stories with some of the supporting characters to either help expand the event’s scope or fill in some gaps. What is unusual, however, is to have an […]
South Park Season 21 Episode 5 Review – ‘Hummels and Heroin’
Liam Hoofe reviews the fifth episode of South Park Season 21… South Park has been on fine form in recent weeks, with the show having delivered some excellent episodes so far this season and the franchise’s latest video game ‘Fractured But Whole’ also receiving some very positive reviews. The show’s latest episode ‘Hummels and Heroin‘, […]
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 2 Review – ‘Freak Show’
Jessie Robertson reviews the second episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season 3… This week’s Legends opens with a particularly hot scene between Amaya and Nate when they were together and is the highlight of another wacky adventure as they track down time anachronisms (they are really pushing to bring that word back into modern […]
The Flash Season 4 Episode 2 Review – ‘Mixed Signals’
Jessie Robertson reviews the second episode of The Flash season 4… The Flash tries to get back some of that season 1 magic by completely lightening up the mood on the show after one of the most abysmal episodes, not just in its history, but in all of The CW-Verse, last week’s premiere. The humor […]
53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – I, Tonya (2017)
Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street gave Margot Robbie a huge opportunity that she fearlessly seized, dressing up as Harley Quinn broke her into the mainstream as a Hollywood star, and now I, Tonya should net her a first-time Oscar nomination. Directed by Craig Gillespie (last year’s The Finest Hours), the biopic depicts the figure skating career of the infamous […]
