Sucker Punch: Review


Zack Snyder. A name that is associated with dark, gothic and incredibly stylish productions. Now comes Sucker Punch, the story of Babydoll. A girl, abused by her father, who is put into a mental asylum. With a group of friends, she plans to escape, but she needs a series of items in order to do it. And so the action begins. She and her associates enter an imaginary world, where finding and retrieving the items is a lot more...exciting. But can this action flick live up to Snyder’s reputation? Honestly? No.

Review: Prometheus


In 1979, Ridley Scott hit us with an instant classic. Alien is widely renowned as one of the best sci-fi horrors ever made. Since then, there have been sequels, videogames and mash-ups, such as when Alien met Predator. However, now comes the first prequel to the franchise and it packs one hell of a punch.

Change of plans

OK, I decided that leaving a week between each review is...too long, so I have decided to post one every Wednesday and Saturday...which means, the Prometheus review is going up now. Enjoy!

Catching Fire!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is set to be released in November 2013. Its a long wait, but they have to give Jennifer Lawrence time to shoot the sequel to X-Men: First Class. As a fan of the books, I was happy with the way they handled the first film. Lets hope they do an equally good job on Book 2!

First thoughts

So this week I have been playing Skyrim. I can't publish a full review yet, as I know that I am far, far, far from completing it. However, so far its looking great! The graphics, gameplay and levelling up all work brilliantly! Although I have already encountered numerous bugs, including one that stopped me from completing a quest altogether. But ahh well. It's still an amazing game. Will publish a full review when I've finished!

Just Sayin'

Hi guys, just to let you know, I'm gonna try and post a new review each week. Next week is the recent Sci-Fi/Action/Horror - Prometheus. Hope you enjoy!

Also, I try my best to avoid spoilers in my reviews, but sometimes they cannot be helped, so I'd like to apologize in advance for anything along those lines :)

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North


As a novel that was loved by millions, it was inevitable that J.R.R Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’ would get a movie franchise, and with the success of the films, the videogames were sure to follow. By now however the LOTR fever has died down. That was until Snowblind studios unveiled The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. This new action-RPG had fans of the franchise grabbing up their swords in delight, but does this new adventure live up to its predecessors, or does it deserve to follow the ring into the fiery pits of Mordor? In short-none of them.
