Shin Godzilla Review
For a long time Tristar’s 1998 take on Godzilla was my only knowledge of the franchise. I didn’t know better, so I thought it was alright. At least it gave us Deeper Underground. In 2014 […]

Wish Review
I wish this film was better. There. Review done. Alright alright. It’s just extremely flat, and I’m not talking about the hybrid 2D/3D animation. As a very light and perhaps even comforting story that ticks […]

Back in the PS3 days I spent a lot of time running and climbing. Between Nathan Drake and Ezio Auditore da Firenze I shimmied along countless ledges. As amazing as Ezio’s trilogy and the first […]

The Marvel’s Review
Phase Four of the MCU was mid as hell. Following Endgame was a big ask, but overall it was muddled and stank of not really knowing what to do. Phase Five quickly followed – though […]
