Brick by prehistoric brick: LEGO Jurassic World Game gets a trailer
It seems that everything these days is turning to LEGO. This is not, of course, even remotely a bad thing and merely confirms what I instinctively knew to the core of my being at the age of five, that the world would be a far better place of everything Continue Reading
Weekend pop art: Modern TV shows and movie get a retro ’80s VHS cover makeover
We’ve all heard the old adage “everything old is new again”, a wry commentary on the idea that everything from fashion to fads to old toys comes back around again eventually, but what about “everything new is old again”? It may not as common an axiom but in the Continue Reading
The joy and pain of letting someone in: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (trailer)
SNAPSHOT Up until senior year, Greg (Thomas Mann) has maintained total social invisibility.

Life is a real mixed bag isn’t it? Regardless of whether you approach it from a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty position, it rarely stays in one emotional place for too long. Hence we have great ups and downs, ins and outs, steps forward and lurches back, all of it providing Continue Reading
The gloriously silly 50 Shades of Drebin: A mashup of Naked Gun and 50 Shades of Grey
I love me a good, nay, a great parody. Which is why when I came across the Unusual Suspect‘s inspired blending of a parody via deathandtaxes, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad, with Fifty Shades of Grey, one of this biggest-grossing movies so far and arguably Continue Reading
Everyone’s talking about Games of Thrones, even the cast of Silicon Valley

Outlander: The Reckoning (S1, E9 review)
After waiting far longer than any Scotland-based historical fiction-loving TV fan with a burning predilection for time travel, kilts and romance of the bodice-ripping kind should legitimately have to wait, Outlander, based on the novels of Diana Gabaldon, came roaring back atop a Highland steed in “The Reckoning”, in which you’d Continue Reading
Exciting news Kermie! “It’s time to meet the Muppets” again on TV!
It’s a universally-acknowledged fact that you can never spend too much time with Jim Henson’s greatest, most-beloved creations, the Muppets.
