Overlord Raising Hell PS3 review

But is it worth the asking price for the Overlord? Ironically, the Overlord is more of a herald for the real stars of the game: the minions. At this point, you really feel like youre orchestrating a small, chaotic army. And If thats not enough, you could always go and set some more peasants on fire.

Zombie Powder Volume 1 review

Manga-neophyte Matt Haigh dips his toe in Manga comics for the first time. And it’s a fairly encouraging start… Subsequently, I began reading the book from the end, but luckily realized my mistake some pages in. The book opens with Elwood, a young boy whos been working as a pick-pocket for a criminal gang. He has a terminally ill sister, whom he takes care of. All perfectly normal, then. Rating:...

The Den Of Geek interview: Mark Herman

Your early career seemed to indicate you were heading towards animation. What happened to move you towards film? I suppose it was probably the notion of having to spend a whole year on one joke. I think it was my touching depiction of an inflatable woman getting her own back that swung it. This was around 1984. Ad content continues below That first year at the National was a little demoralising....

Enchanted Blu-ray Disc review

We first saw her in the excellent indie movie Junebug, but heres her star-making turn. Its not a perfect film though, sadly. Its a sizeable misjudgement, that leaves Adams and co without anything to really push against. And, also on the plus side, its not got any sign ofHigh School Musicalanywhere near it. The high definition transfer looks as radiant as the film. Theres, at some point in the future, a stronger collectors edition ofEnchantedsurely likely to hit the shelves....

The Pineapple Express review

Yet another Seth Rogen movie hits US cinemas - does the man ever stop? Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) is a process server. Nobody likes process servers, which is one of the many reasons slacker Dale smokes pot all day. He buys his pot from his permanently fried dealer, Saul Silver (James Franco). Dale is very much living his life on autopilot. This movie really surprised me. From the trailers, I didnt expect much....

The Den Of Geek interview: Dean Cundey

Yeah, its one of those things. I wonder for people coming into your profession now, if those problems just arent there. I think theres a lot of truth to that. It seems so carefully chosen, the amount of light that you put on a scene. Ad content continues below Yeah, I think thats important too. I try as much as possible, still, to do things in front of the lens....

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor review

Tangled morality and important political questions? Naturally, its nowhere near as easy as that. Whats great aboutThe Mummy 3is that it doesnt spend a huge amount of time setting things up. Its unashamedly goofy, but the silliness is part of its charm. (Although since when are there more than four elements? Earth, air, fire, water, right? Thats why the movieThe Fifth Elementhad such an interesting title. I cant help but feel I should be criticising this film more....

The Den Of Geek interview: Rob Cohen

Im pleased with the numbers [laughs]. You dont even start the film if thats what youre thinking. Opening weekend must be the most nerve-racking experience of any directors life…?

And whose deciding that its bad are people that you dont have any respect for anyway....

X-Files: I Want To Believe review

So why are the pair so afraid to use it? Its not a bad film, just not a confident one. It picks up with Mulder and Scully leading very different lives. Where are the shadowy, nameless figures? Where are the conspiracies? Where, even, are the monsters of old? Answer: nowhere to be seen. YetI Want To Believedoes have its moments. Yet the casting of Billy Connolly is a gamble that doesnt work....

Kevin Reynolds: The Den Of Geek interview

What is it about that particular film, has that influenced you in some way? Do you think theres a kind of fate in there somewhere? I suppose you could say that. I read it and I kinda liked it but I just wasnt as enthused about it as he was. You know, he tried and I finally just said, No really, you should do this. It wasThelma and Louise. You started off as a lawyer?...

The X-Files: I Want To Believe review

The film opens with Mulder (Duchovny) standing outside Joliet State Correctional Institute with a suitcase in hand. Pulling up in an old police car bought at auction is Scully (Gillian Anderson). Oh wait, thats the plot ofThe Blues Brothers. If you need a psychic wrangler, who better than Mr. Unexplained Phenomenon himself, the legendary Fox Mulder? Theres nothing overtlyX-Filesfeeling about the events of the story. Theres no real creepiness factor....

The Dark Knight IMAX review

Duncan maxes out his Dark Knight experience in the Bat-tastic IMAX version of the caped crusader’s latest… But I have to giveThe Dark Knightfive stars. Obviously were all in favour of geeking out here, so indulge me for a minute. What really compelled me to write this article though was the sheer spectacle of seeing it at the IMAX.
