Hardly Legendary - Doctor Who: Robots of Sherwood Review

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

In the first week we saw the Doctor flirting with a T-rex. In the second he turned a Dalek good. Unfortunately, Peter Capaldi’s third outing as the time-hopping hero held nothing particularly memorable, and will likely come to be known as “that one with Ben Miller in it”.

The Girls Fight Back

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

They may be beautiful, but get on their bad side and they’ll take you down before you know what’s hit you. With Guardians of the Galaxy currently storming cinemas, and in honour of battling sisters Gamora and Nebula, we here at Vuepoint have compiled a list of the most badass women in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’re keeping this strictly within the films, so apologies to fans of the TV Series, but Agent May won’t be appearing on this list, as cool as she is.

Marvel Takes to the Stars - Guardians of the Galaxy Review

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

Many have looked at Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy as The Avengers in space. Whilst this wouldn’t be massively inaccurate, writing off the latest addition to the cinematic universe as a simple rehashing of the 2012 blockbuster would be doing the film a disservice, and you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you missed out on it. Guardians of the Galaxy is a funny, action-packed movie, that is not only a great addition to the series, but a great standalone sci-fi action film.

First Impressions - Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Sunken King

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

Excitement. Crown of the Sunken King is the first of a trio of DLCs being released for Dark Souls 2. I’ve only been playing for about 10 minutes, but already that feeling of anticipation and trepidation have returned. That feeling that you only get on your first playthrough of any Souls game.

Game of Thrones: The Children - Review

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

Last night saw season 4 of Game of Thrones reach it’s devastating conclusion. With a death count to match that of the Red Wedding, The Children featured more plot twists and tense moments than ever before in a single episode, closing out a number of stories in a spectacular manner, and ranking itself as one of the best episodes to date. I’m gonna recap what’s happened, share my thoughts and make a few predictions as to what this could mean. (Just so that you know, I haven’t read the books, so any predictions I make about the future are completely blind) Before we go any further, I will warn you of MASSIVE spoilers below, so if you haven’t seen the episode yet, leave now!

Frightfully Good - Oculus Review

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

What is real? What is illusion? What can you trust when your own senses lie to you? These are the fears that Oculus preys upon. A horror film with some great scares, an interesting premise, and a chilling story, told in a mix of flashback and present day action. Whilst some of the features – such as the credits – look a little amateur, if you’re one for being sat on the edge of your seat biting your nails, Oculus isn’t one that you want to miss.

All Style and No Substance - 300: Rise of an Empire Review

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

Zack Snyder’s 300 was a stylish action fantasy, driven by its story, performances and stylishly edited action pieces. Personally I was a huge fan. So I was quite excited when I heard about a sequel in the works. Unfortunately, I was left somewhat disappointed. Directed by Noam Murro, rather than Snyder, the influences from the original are certainly there, but seem messy and unpolished.
