Review: Space Babies & The Devil’s Chord
Genuine storytelling in amongst the silly and surreal Spoiler Warning Watching the first two episodes of the new season of Doctor Who and I can see why they are labelling it ‘Season 1’ rather than continuing with either the original or reboot number – this is very much a regeneration…

Review: The Marvels
A fun popcorn movie that goes too high, too fast, too far, and misses its emotional punch in amongst all the action Spoiler Warning So, given the immense amount of criticism The Marvels (2023) garnered on its theatrical release and the subsequent dismal box office, it really wasn’t as bad…

Review: Echo
Echoes of the past help Echo find a tone which works for a thin redemption arc saved by a great cast and an exploration of Choctaw culture Spoiler Warning I think it’s safe to say that Echo is one of the Marvel Disney Plus shows which hasn’t been wildly anticipated…

Review: Doctor Who’s 60th Anniversary Specials
A nostalgic trip to the past to ensure Who’s future I stopped watching Doctor Who religiously sometime towards the middle of Jodie Whittaker’s time in the TARDIS. It wasn’t Jodie’s performance or the fact that the Doctor was a woman that lessened the appeal, but rather the storytelling. Chris Chibnall…

Review: Enemy at the Gate
A stand-out piece of art A season finale is always a hard thing to judge but combine it with being the 100th episode and the series finale and it almost becomes impossible. Sentimentality is so mixed up with a wish list of expectations; a great story, action, drama, and a…

Review: Vegas
A stand-out piece of art Vegas is not just a step outside of the box entitled Stargate: Atlantis but an entire leap. On one hand, this is a clever and stylishly told alternate reality story with Sheppard at its centre yet on the other it leaves behind just about everything…
