The Legacy Season 1 on Blu-ray – The DVDfever Review

The Legacy centres around Veronika Grønnegaard (Kirsten Olesen), a celebrated artist who goes into a flower shop to order five bouquets. There may be some order in her chaos, but her whole house looks like a state as it’s one big workshop for her varying and, rather random, sculptures and artworks. She’s clearly a bit […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on March 5th, 2015

phantom-pain

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain continues on from where the superb Ground Zeroes left off, and now, the release date has been revealed.

This entry is the series’ largest and most ambitious edition to date, expanding upon themes and content seen in Ground Zeroes. Set within huge open-world environments, Phantom Pain is brought to vivid life with realistic weather patterns and day/night cycles. Thus, players can adapt their tactics to match the changing environment, creating an intuitive and non-linear gameplay experience. Similarly, a host of acclaimed Metal Gear Solid troops return in hugely advanced forms, including expanded CQC (Close-Quarter Combat) skills, vastly improved enemy AI, online elements that complement the single player campaign, and an all-new version of Metal Gear Online, a competitive multiplayer mode, included within the main game.

We're backWe’re back!

Well, the website server update is still in progress, but I heard back from 1&1 in the meantime and I’d been misled about not being able to update the site while it went on. Gah!

Oh well, let us crack on now!

Website server update in progress…

Posted by Dom Robinson on March 3rd, 2015

Website server update in progressWebsite server update in progress…

I’ve had some recent server issues and my hosts, 1&1, tell me that an upgrade to sort it out may stop me being able to make new posts on here for 3-5 days, so if you hear nothing new from me for a short while then I haven’t dropped off the face of the Earth and, like James Bond, I will return… obviously a lot more quickly.

Of course, if Jennifer Aniston pops round and asks me to run away with her to Los Angeles or wherever she resides, then I’ll be a little longer. But the chances are that will not happen….

Chappie and Still Alice lead the new cinema releases & trailers – w/e March 6th 2015

Posted by Dom Robinson on March 3rd, 2015

chappie

This weekend there are six new films out for you to choose from: sci-fi in Chappie, dementia drama in Still Alice, crime thriller in Kill The Messenger, French farce in Life of Riley, alleged comedy in Unfinished Business, and tedious drama in White Bird in a Blizzard.

Chappie is the latest film from Neill Blomkamp, director of the superb District 9, and also Elysium.

Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there’s one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot.

The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever.

As with The Voices, I’m in two minds as to whether this will be any good. It’s got a great director, and also high-profile cast (Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver, Dev Patel, plus Sharlto Copley doing the motion capture for Chappie, himself), but it feels like we’ve been here before with Short Circuit. On balance, I’ll err on the side of…

Hit or Miss? Verdict:

Posted by Dom Robinson on March 3rd, 2015

poldarkPoldark returns to BBC1 after nearly 40 years as it originally ran for two series between 1975 and 1977, with Robin Ellis in the lead role.

This time round, Aidan Turner takes the lead as Ross Poldark, and the actor may be best known to viewers as Mitchell from BBC’s Being Human, and as Kili in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, which came to a finale last Christmas with The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Poldark returns to England after fighting in the American Revolution. His family and friends thought he was dead. The woman he hoped to marry is now engaged to his cousin. His father is dead, and the property he has inherited has been allowed to deteriorate. It is the late 1700s in Cornwall, England.

The Casual Vacancy Episode 3 finally puts itself out of its misery, and a good job too as, quite frankly, over the course of these three weeks I could’ve pulled a better story out of my arse!

Howard and Miles are fussing over the vandalism on the front of the former’s pie shop, adorned with the election poster for the latter, with the added scrawl, “I like soapy tit-wanks”.
