Jupiter Ascending was, in a word, Fabulous. In two words it was Absolutely Fabulous. My slightly longer review is that I think I understand why reviewers aren’t liking it much: because they don’t understand that it is the film version of a Space Opera roleplaying campaign. I don’t know WHY they were expecting something else, […]
Dave and I went to see the new Sydney production of this show recently – he has never seen it on stage before, although he has of course seen the musical version movie. On the other hand I have seen it at least 6 times before on stage (it may be 7, I lost count), […]
One of my all-time favourite tv adaptations is House of Cards with Ian Richardson and Susannah Harker. It was a 4-part BBC mini series based on a novel by Michael Dobbs, although the ending was quite significantly changed. Dobbs then wrote two subsequent books based on the ending that the mini series created. The series […]
I am currently doing my second play through of this game, with my original Shepherd character that has been with me since the original Mass Effect game. She is a Sentinel class, and has been used for 2 playthroughs of ME, ME2 and now ME3 (some achievements can only be unlocked with a second playthrough […]
Seeing as The Great Intervention is nearly upon us (due next year in fact), I am doing a reread of the Julian May books – Saga of the Exiles, Intervention and the Galactic Milieu trilogy. For those who like their stories on a grand scale with a lot of philosophy, Jungian archetypes, history, pseudo history […]
I have put off writing this review for a while, because I really wasn’t sure what to say. I loved Fallout 3 so much and spent hundreds of hours playing the main game and all 5 expansions as they came out. So I was really looking forward to Fallout New Vegas when I heard about […]
I have never been interested in Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) games in the past, I’ve had a bit of a look at some of them and there was no appeal. But the Star Wars game Old Republic has been in works for a while now, and I was kind of interested in that, and wondering […]
We saw this movie in January. I knew it was a murder mystery, and based on a book, but not much more than that going in. The movie was set in the early 70s, and the overall visuals had a lovely warm, yellowish colour, like an aged photograph. Given the narrator’s love of photography, I’m […]
I saw this on Boxing day and have been meaning to write something but couldn’t be bothered. It has pretty much been said, but just in case my opinion is required: – very pretty to look at – shit boring script, being ‘Heroes Journey, ‘Dances With Wolves’ variation – Sam Worthing still has the acting […]
This is a classic BBC miniseries from 1998. I had seen the first two episodes when it originally screened, but never seen the whole series. Dave had not seen it at all, so when I discovered a friend had the series on DVD, I thought it would be great to watch the whole thing (thanks […]
