Sin Eaters serves as a farewell to the Ninth Doctor Titan comics, giving us a good, pretty much stand-alone two-part story, then a somewhat hurried triple bill to end on. It’s good though, it’s a shame that out of the original foursome of “New Who” that the least served Doctor TV-wise would be the first to get their run cancelled, but hey-ho… let’s take a closer look!
My review of the latest volume (to hit the UK) of Dragon Ball Super is up on Anime UK News and can be viewed by clicking HERE. Some interesting differences between the anime and manga that’s always fun to take a look at…
I was really looking forward to this adaptation of the Gaiman / Pratchett novel I’d heard good things about, then after hearing the cast I was REALLY looking forward to it. Thankfully that excitement was met with a genuinely funny six-part story, with great acting and effects, and generally a good time in front of the screen. Let’s take a deeper look!
Arrow’s penultimate season was a mixed bag, but in my opinion definitely swung more towards good in the end. It actually felt like it wrapped the whole show up neatly, leading very little for it to do in its shortened final season at the end of the year… so let’s take a look then, shall we?
Arrow’s seventh season comes a wobbly end, but ultimately a good end. In fact the finale feels very much like an overall series finale, which given Season 8 is not only the last season, but only 10 episodes, it probably for all intents and purposes is the big ending. So let’s have a look at the build up to this grand finale, and see how much of it actually worked…
Benny’s second boxset release, Road Trip, actually feels more like it was created after the run of boxes and just set “during the time Bernice was on her way to Legion”, as that plot thread from the end of Epoch doesn’t arrive until a 10-minute post credit sequence. That being said, for three stand-alone stories, it’s actually a good bunch of audio dramas, so I’m certainly not complaining after the far more dull start to this run… so let’s take a closer look!
The Flash is back for a fifth season, but sadly one that was far more scattered and less focused than Season 4, which I really enjoyed (but not many others did, seemingly). There were some highlights, but a lot of… lowlights? (is that a thing?) So let’s take a deeper look at the overall season…
The Flash’s fifth season’s second half (I’m sure there’s a better way of writing that…) has been and gone, and once again it had some good moments, and some bafflingly written moments… Let’s take a look!
Our look at (most) of the live action game adaptations, and the games that inspired them, starts with a double helping of Super Mario Bros. and boy… The staggering difference! The original Super Mario Bros. (review here!) is an all-time classic that’s still fun to play today, where as this is a complete flop that fails to even slightly evoke the spirit of its source material. Even ignoring the link to the all-time classic game, as a film it’s still pretty flawed… so let’s take a deeper look!
There have been times on this blog where a marathon has led me to having to review something that makes me go “What new can I possibly say about that?” This is one of those times. The original Super Mario Bros. is iconic, addictive and its influence on the industry can’t be overstated. Even in 2019 the game is still fun to play, a joy to listen to, and has charming sprite-based graphics… In other words, the polar opposite of the film version (reviewed here!) Let’s take a deeper look anyway.
