Jack Ryan is the CIA Analyst who’s been played onscreen by as many people as I have fingers on one hand. First, Alec Baldwin took the role in 1990’s The Hunt For Red October, followed by a double-header for Harrison Ford in Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). It was another 8 […]

Westworld – yes, it’s high time someone made a series about the late ’80s British pop band… (pardon? It’s based on the 1973 sci-fi movie featuring Yul Brynner whose circuits get fried and he goes on a killing spree that can’t be stopped without great difficulty? Oh, that’s a disappointment…) I jest, of course. Westworld […]

Wizkid & Kyla stays at No.1, yet again, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e July 7th 2016, with One Dance, and it’s just bland, auto-tuned blandy blandness. I find it difficult to get annoyed at such a lazy track, but I’m amazed anyone bought it. There are no new entries […]
Warcraft: The Beginning was that unsure of itself that it didn’t even have “The Beginning” tacked onto the onscreen title. I was also unsure… of what was going on. Never have I spent an entire 2hrs+ of a movie without the slightest idea of what’s going on (well, other than Fellini’s Satyricon). Perhaps that’s why […]

Medal of Honor: Warfighter: In reviewing this game… okay, I never played the 2010 reboot, but I remember really enjoying the original game, and even played it a few years later despite graphics having moved on significantly by then. In this latest installment, you begin with a simple intro level at an undisclosed ship dock […]

Safe House is the kind of film where, for anyone who’s seen the trailer, you can simply check your brain at the door. It’s really not a film about rocket science. Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA agent who spends many dull days monitoring cameras in a safe house in Johannesburg with no ‘house […]
