The Open House, 2018. Directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote. Starring Dylan Minnette, Piercey Dalton, Sharif Atkins, and Patricia Bethune. SYNOPSIS: A teenager and his mother find themselves besieged by threatening forces when they move into a new house. Proving that January isn’t merely a dumping ground for Hollywood’s most rancid theatrical releases, Netflix’s generically-monikered The Open House […]
Video Game Review – Shu for Nintendo Switch
Shaun Munro reviews Shu for Nintendo Switch… Shu is the latest in a seemingly never-ending line of acclaimed platformers being ported to the Nintendo Switch, and though hardly a must-own title for the console, Coatsink’s vibrant romp is a fun – if fitfully infuriating – jaunt that, at just three-ish hours in length, certainly doesn’t outstay […]
Video Game Review – InnerSpace
Shaun Munro reviews InnerSpace… InnerSpace is the debut effort from PolyKnight Games, a flight-exploration game which began development following a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2014. While undeniably rough around the edges, the game’s enticing art-style, free-wheeling “do what you like” gameplay and ethereal musical score did nevertheless make most of my time with it both relaxing and enjoyable. Like […]
Video Game Review – Super Meat Boy on Nintendo Switch
Shaun Munro reviews Super Meat Boy on Nintendo Switch… The Dark Souls of platformers – before Dark Souls was even a thing, no less – is back, available now on Nintendo Switch, and while this new port of Super Meat Boy is really just a thirst-quencher until the long-awaited Super Meat Boy Forever lands later this year, the […]
Movie Review – The Polka King (2017)

Movie Review – Brad’s Status (2017)
Brad’s Status, 2017. Directed by Mike White. Starring Ben Stiller, Austin Abrams, Jenna Fischer, Michael Sheen, Jemaine Clement, Luke Wilson and Mike White. SYNOPSIS: A father takes his son to tour colleges on the East Coast and meets up with an old friend who makes him feel inferior about his life’s choices. Though once upon […]
Video Game Review – Accounting+
Shaun Munro reviews Accounting+… With PSVR generally still leaving owners wanting for a respectable collection of “mature” games and experiences, the new beefed-up version of Accounting, which initially released for HTC Vive last year, provides brief and disarmingly demented relief, yet feels mis-priced and mis-marketed as an actual game rather than a mere experience. The barmy […]
Video Game Review – Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 3 ‘Hell Is Empty’
Shaun Munro reviews Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 3 ‘Hell Is Empty’… Maintaining the momentum of the previous episode’s scintillating cliffhanger, Life is Strange: Before the Storm‘s “season finale” brings Chloe and Rachel’s adventure to an understated crescendo in mostly satisfying – if occasionally detached – fashion. The snappy two-hour closer goes by […]
Video Game Review – Vostok Inc. on Nintendo Switch
Shaun Munro reviews Vostok Inc. on Nintendo Switch… If you’re not familiar with the “clicker” genre of video games – as I wasn’t prior to playing Nosebleed Interactive’s Vostok Inc. – it encompasses games reliant on grinding resources and performing repetitive actions in order to progress, requiring an abundance of – wait for it – clicking […]
Video Game Review – LocoRoco 2 Remastered
Shaun Munro reviews LocoRoco 2 Remastered… Cult classic PSP platformer LocoRoco was given a superbly shiny new 4K PS4 port back in May, and now its 2008 sequel has also gotten the glossy makeover treatment to similarly dazzling effect. LocoRoco 2 Remastered may not deviate much from the formula firmly established by its predecessor, largely succeeding and […]
