  • Review: Dragon Ball Daima Episode 4 – Chatty

    While the previous entries in this newest instalment of Dragon Ball were good and entertaining, episode 4 is just downright pure, unadulterated fun. I loved everything it had to offer, which is a lot. Daima is off to a much stronger start than Super managed, both in terms of narrative, character development and most importantly,…

  • Review: Dragon Ball Daima Episode 3 – Daima

    Picking up where episode 2 left off, episode 3 finds our heroes embarking on the next step of their journey and entering the Demon Realm at long last. Goku and the Supreme Kai join newcomer Glorio in his ‘demon plane’ and speed away from Earth, much to Goku’s delight, and travel to a Warp point.…

  • Review: Arcane – Season 2, Act 2

    Review: Arcane – Season 2, Act 2

    Finally got to watch Act 2 last night, and like Act 1, I was blown away by almost everything in the three episodes. Act 2, however, is a very different beast to the opening act. While Act 1 focused on the aftermath of Jinx’s murder of three council members and the resulting political turmoil that…

    Review: Gladiator 2

    I wanted to let this one ruminate for a couple of days. Gladiator is, after all, my favourite film, whether it be in this life or the next. I didn’t want to just jump into this review until I’d sat with the sequel in my head for a few days. I think I owed it…

  • Review: The Day of the Jackal – Episode 5

    I finished the previous review stating that I was still waiting for the series to hit its stride in the coming episodes. Well, say hello to the stride in episode 5. Everything about his episode is what drew me to this show in the first place. It focuses almost entirely on the main plot, with…

  • Review: The Day of the Jackal – Episode 4

    Episode four, while stronger than its predecessor, again spends an overdue amount of time focused on the personal lives of Bianca and the Jackal. Not only does it burden the episode with poorly executed drama subplots as we witness both leads tackle their rapidly disintegrating personal lives, it detracts from the actual interesting portions of…

  • Review: The Day of the Jackal – Episode 3

    After a promising start to the series with two strong episodes, the third stalls and almost goes into reverse. Much of the plot falls into predictable patterns but retains elements of interest due to the promise of the previous entries. The Jackal’s story continues to be engaging, at least as far as his assassin business…

  • Review: The Day of the Jackal – Episode 2

    The second episode of The Day of the Jackal begins with an examination of the fallout from the Munich assassination. The political landscape in Germany has been utterly devastated by the killing of Chancellor candidate Manfred Fest. The elections that were alluded to in the background of episode 1 are now up in the air,…

    Trailer Reaction: The Thunderbolts*

    I’ve got to be honest; I truly did not expect much from this project when it was initially announced given how scattershot Marvel properties had become in terms of quality. I love the property itself, it’s a fantastic, fun comic book team to read. Then the first teaser dropped back during the summer I think…

  • Trailer Reaction: Marvel’s What If…? Season 3

    Trailer Reaction: Marvel’s What If…? Season 3

    I had completely forgotten there was a season three of this coming out. Absolutely loved season one, where we finally got to see a damn good, menacing and terrifyingly powerful version of Ultron become a godlike being and almost destroy the multiverse. This is the kind of treatment he should have received in live action.…
