Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness And The Secret Hideout is the first time I have played the Atelier series of games. Atlelier Ryza literally dropped in our laps a few weeks ago, oblivious to what it actually is except for the fact that it is a JRPG! The review is coming in a bit late given […]

Upgrade is a 2018 film which had a DVD-only released in January of this year, with the Blu-ray coming some time later, and as a Limited Edition with a stack of extras, and that is how I’m watching the film for the first time. We’re in a world where in-home technology is as advanced as […]

Cold Call is a new four-part drama over four nights where the first thing I noticed is that Sally Lindsay‘s house is a damn sight more tidy than mine! Okay, it turned out it wasn’t her’s, as June (Lindsay) was standing over man’s bed before it cut to the opening credits. After that, she was […]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now on PC, but first was released a year ago on consoles. It’s a prequel to 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, a game which I played only briefly via Playstation Now on a trial, a few years back, but just couldn’t get into as it seemed slow and overly story-based… […]
Midway is a film I’ve been looking forward to since I first saw a trailer for it and, knowing it was from the unsubtle Roland Emmerich, I figured it would at least be visually entertaining from start to finish… But… how can you take such a piece of history and make the most utterly uninvolving […]

Gold Digger stars Julia Ormond as Julia Day who, at 60, she’s single after splitting up from a 35-year-marriage, but then she falls into a relationship with a young man. She’s in love, but the kids sense danger. We gather from the title that he’s a… yep. Or is he? That’s the billing for this […]

The Cockfields are a family headed by Sue (Sue Johnston) and Ray (Bobby Ball), respectively mother and stepfather to Simon (Joe Wilkinson, who also co-writes). The pair live on the Isle of Wight where Simon’s returning to celebrate his 40th birthday, and taking girlfriend Donna (Diane Morgan) in tow. Sue is the typical overbearing mother […]
The Mandalorian is a bounty hunter who’s here to take out the trash… so that’s most of the recent Star Wars movies, then. Rogue One was the only one I really enjoyed, whilst Force Awakens was a disappointment, The Last Jedi was even worse, and Solo was the biggest stinker ever in the canon, especially […]

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters is the belated follow-up to the 2014 Godzilla reboot, and I figure if you’re going to have an action film, you want it wall-to-wall action, rather like the recent Terminator: Dark Fate. However, the 2014 movie fell way short of that as the big man didn’t show up for the […]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 is out now, and the first thing that is worth mentioning is that COD is well and truly back. If we look at the array of most recent releases from the franchise – such as last year’s Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4, we had been inundated with crazy […]
