by

Red Stewart reviews the fifteenth episode of Black Lightning season 3… The word war is thrown around a lot in the penultimate episode of Black Lightning’s third season, yet I couldn’t help but be as disappointed by its prevalence as I was with War for the Planet of the Apes. Both act like what they’re […]

Book Review – M by Samm Deighan

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews M by Samm Deighan… Fritz Lang’s M is a horror film. There are other genres that would happily claim M as one of their own, but they’re not the reason the film has a Devil’s Advocates monograph.

Video Game Review – The Complex

by

Shaun Munro reviews The Complex… Wales Interactive, the outfit behind the BAFTA-winning interactive movie/video game Late Shift, returns to the experimental genre with their promising new sci-fi outing The Complex.
