I can’t quite believe it has been four years since I was over in Los Angeles at Warner Bros Studios for the 75th Anniversary of Batman Exhibition. The time has absolutely flown and after a nostalgic Google search for the past event, I came across an exhibition closer to home and one that was available…
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom finally embodies it’s ‘worldly’ title and has our human-chomping predators on a luxurious cruise as their island becomes a lava-flooded wasteland. It has been three years since the events of the first movie. The dinosaurs were left to their own devices on Isla Nubular and it seems all is well in…
With online streaming services destroying humanity as we know it, owning a real DVD and Blu Ray is slowly becoming a way of the past. For those like myself who are defiant enough to prefer a hard-copy of a film over some online database then DVD Locker is the way to go. For those budding…
I certainly wasn’t lying when I said I went on a subscription box manhunt at MCM Comic Con this year. I picked up ZBOX, Geek Gear, My Geek Box and of course, my new favorite The Amazing Mystery Box. After reviewing the first box I was sent a few weeks ago I was blown away…
It’s that time again when I get to experience a new escape room at Escape Stoke. Every time I go to Escape Stoke I get excited like a kid on Christmas Eve. I always love the theming of each and every room. It’s so incredibly detailed and with me being a huge fan of movies…
As of this year, a century has passed since the end of World War I. Known as ‘the war to end all wars’ the horror of the trenches and the terrible loss of life encountered on the field’s of France have been remembered across the ages and continue to serve as an enduring lesson on…
Freddie Foreman was born 5th of March 1932 in Sheepcote Lane in Battersea, London. Freddie is now 86 years old and he is one of last surviving old-school London gangsters. Freddie has had numerous nicknames, including The Undertaker, Brown Bread Fred and the High Executioner. Brown Bread is cockney rhyming slang for “dead”. Freddie left…
Solo: A Star Wars story is the Disney spinoff which tells the story of Han Solo. The film was estimated to reach between $130-$150m but has only reached $114.2m according to Deadline. So you may be thinking $114.2m is still a great total and by all accounts, it’s not embarrassingly bad but it is the…
SOLO: A STAR WARS story is a familiar animal; it is the latest in the “standalone” installments from Disney and had its production troubles that were over-reported by any and every online outlet possible. It was a sure foolproof failure they said. Disney was preparing for its first misstep after acquiring the brand. The online…
For the Love of the Boogeyman: 40 Years of Halloween is a documentary that brings together some of the brightest independent filmmakers and horror fans from around the world to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of John Carpenter’s seminal horror classic – Halloween. The documentary truly is a celebration of all things Halloween. From John Carpenter inventing the…
Well, shiver me timbers matey! Welcome to another Escape Stoke review where this weekend I had the pleasure of reviewing the brand new (and most difficult) attraction at the venue. The Escape the Seven Seas room. This pirate themed room opened May 19th and we were one of the lucky few to try it out…
HBO’s latest feature, a very modern interpretation of Ray Bradbury’s seminal novel Fahrenheit 451, almost cleared the hurdle of looking and feeling like a film that wasn’t made for television. The picture is headlined by Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon and has a production value that is comparable to HBO’s current programming; very much…
The latest Jim Carrey film is dark. Pitch black. It takes place in a world without cell phones and where videotape, tube television, and cassettes are prominent. It’s a fusion of Hostel and The Snowman but does an admirable job emulating the taut narrative and pristine aesthetic of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. As the transgressive…
I’ve always been a fan of geek boxes. The thrill of unboxing something that could contain just about anything in the world is a great experience. Every time I walk on by the stalls at comic con it’s so difficult to restrain myself from picking up every mystery box on every stall. A good…
My jaw hit the floor when I realised that it’s been two whole years since we’ve seen Deadpool on the big screen. The Merc with the mouth is finally back, 2018, the year of Marvel it seems with Black Panther and Infinity War blowing box-office records to pieces and leaving DC in their almighty dust….
Engrossed in a heist movie, I found myself watching Den Of Thieves but with every five or ten minutes that passed, I had flashbacks that explained why I was enjoying it so much. It’s basically Heat, and no, I’m not suffering from sunstroke! Den Of Thieves is heavily inspired by the 1995 movie starring Robert de…
