Arrow Season 6 Episode 21 Review – ‘Docket No. 11-19-41-73’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the twenty-first episode of Arrow season 6… Three words best describe this episode: Melodrama, thy name. Whenever a superhero is put on trial, it usually ends up wacky and bad. So with a long sentence hanging over Oliver, this felt like a dooming moment looming. Just think: Diggle went to prison last […]

Chicago Critics Film Festival 2018 Capsule Review – Fast Color

by

It is movingly fitting that one of the only superhuman-based films centered on women (in this case, generations of women with Gugu Mbatha-Raw and her growing star power, underrated television character actor Lorraine Toussaint, and youngster Saniyya Sidney bonding and making amends while also going even further back reading ancestral passages from a handed diary) focuses […]

The Flash Season 4 Episode 20 Review – ‘Therefore She Is’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the twentieth episode of The Flash season 4… ‘Therefore She Is’, is naïve while being brilliant. Tonight’s episode focuses on some flashbacks that take us back to see how this happy couple, the DeVoes, came to be. It reminds me of exactly no one else’s courtship. Once they start dating, Marlize discovers […]

by

Robert Pattinson is a lover, not a fighter. Playing a businessman named Samuel in the days of the old West, he decides to travel across the country to reunite with his beloved fiancé Penelope (Mia Wasikowska, who I’ll have you know right off the bat is more than just the titular damsel in distress) believing […]

Video Game Review – Battlezone Gold Edition

by

Scott Watson reviews Battlezone Gold Edition… Talk about making you feel old… doing a bit of research and back history into Battlezone, and Rebellion’s repackaging and Gold Edition release, has made me feel positively archaic!  I remember summer holidays to Scarborough, Bridlington, and the North East coast of England in my youth, chucking ten pence […]
