Peep Show Series 8 – Episode 2 Review
Luke Owen reviews the second episode of Peep Show series eight… I wasn’t overly kind to last week’s Peep Show. I felt that the series had started showing signs of growing stale, the characters were getting bored and the jokes were getting tired. However, based upon the feedback I received in the comments section (the one who […]
Of All The Films, In All The World…
Commenting on the Critics with Simon Columb… It was obvious I would discuss this; The Observer writes a short piece about *shudder* Casablanca 2: As Time Goes By: “According to a planned sequel to the 1942 classic, the couple, played by Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart, had a child together who was brought up in America […]

Comic Book Review – Batman Incorporated #5
Oliver Davis reviews Batman Incorporated #5… Grant Morrison has a wonderful way of mixing the absurdly camp with something terribly grown up. It’s as though he’s reached a higher plane through his niche occult habits, where cheesiness has gone-off and turned into post-modern mold. It’s a good kind of mold, though. Maturer, like Stilton. That’s […]

The Walking Dead Season 3 – Episode 7 Review
Piers McCarthy reviews the seventh episode of The Walking Dead season three… The end of The Walking Dead’s first half of Season 3 is soon approaching. It’s a depressing thought as the show fuels its 40-something minute run-time each week with more entertainment than most other programmes currently airing. Still, the cast and crew behind […]
