2025 has been a massive year for video games. Frankly, there’s more to talk about than in the movie industry. Games such as Silk Song, Hades 2, Ghost of Yotei, DOOM: Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Pokemon Legends ZA, Mario Kart World, Metroid Beyond, Donkey Kong Bananza, Blue Prince, Death Stranding 2: On the…

Best and Worst of 2025
This year has been a slog. That’s about as well as I can put it, for me personally. I wonder if this has affected my perception of movies, too? There were a lot of 3.5 ratings, and zero 5 cups of cocoa scores. It feels like a year dominated by video games; there are plenty…
Best and Worst of 2024
2024 has been a real rollercoaster of movie quality. Sometimes it swings one way or the other, but this time it has been fairly samey with big swings and big misses. For every Monkey Man there was a Borderlands. The samey-ness came from Hollywood just churning out unnecessary stuff. A sequel to Beetlejuice? A sequel…
Video Games of 2024 (with only three being from 2024)
Looking over my list of games… almost none of them are from 2024. So that’s a warning for you! “Epics” have been taking all of my game-playing time this year. From Dragon Age: Inquisition (ahead of this years Dragon Age: Veilguard) and Larian Studio’s Divinity and Baldur’s Gate 3. I definitely feel a bit wiped….
Video Games of 2023
This year has flown by. Genuinely cannot think of a faster year for me. 2023 wasn’t just packed with movies again, with theatres recovering from the pandemic enough to be open, but also games! It should be said that both industries have been hit very badly during 2023, however… The game’s industry suffering record amounts…
Films of 2022
We reach the end of 2022, and I just want to thank the 210+ readers WordPress, the 155+ followers on Facebook, and the 70+ on Intagram! You are all great! 2022 felt like a busy year; as if everyone was trying to reclaim lost time over the pandemic. Cinema slowly started back up again as…
Films of 2021
With the start of this year being as difficult as last year, I think everyone saw some hope when Autumn came around. Cinemas reopened, restrictions under lockdown were tentatively lifted, and we got to see some movies again in the place they should be seen: the big screen. With the UK getting hit hard by…
Banter: James Bond themes Ranked
Now firstly, I am no expert in music theory, and I don’t have an ear for picking up on talented performances in music. But I do love the Bond themes, and I have immense respect for the franchise maintaining this tradition in each and every film. In some ways, I look as forward to the…
Banter: Star Wars – Ranked
Since “Skywalker Saga” has officially ended, and the franchise-to-end-all-franchises has met a sort of impasse, it seems right to rank the current theatrical released films. That is to say, we won’t be including the animated Clone Wars movie, or the two Ewok movies from the 1980s. Personal feelings definitely enter into construction of this list,…
Best and Worst of 2019
We are here again. Seemingly so soon, too. I remember having great enthusiasm for this year, or certainly compared to 2018’s film roster, but now that we have reached the end of 2019 it is sad to admit that there have been a lot of disappointment in the last twelve months. Of course, like all…
