Doctor Who Wetworld audio CD review

The TARDIS lands awkwardly on the edge of a vast swamp on the planet Sunday. Full credit to her for managing to make the Doctor sound so convincing. Its fair to say Freemas acting skills lift an otherwise quite pedestrian story of survival. Agyemans clearly enjoying herself especially when vocalising the otters. Russell T Davies feels that alien planets should fundamentally convince the viewer. The beauty of audio is, of course, the pictures are always better....

Interview: Stephen Greif on Blake’s 7

In addition, Nations excellent 1977 post-apocalypse sagaSurvivorsis currently being remade by the BBC. Late last week, Sky One announced that Nations 1970s space-operaBlakes 7is also the subject of a remake. Were you picked for the role of Travis, or did you audition for it? He had played my defence counsel in a thing calledKillersin the mid-seventies, and we just became great friends. Well, the imagination boggles. I went to see the producer the following afternoon, I think....

Movie London review

From London landmarks to innocuous back streets, everywhere seems to have a movie story to tell. Theres many a surprise too. Chelseas Stamford Bridge doubled for an entrance to Wembley stadium inNuns On The Run. The guide also points out blue plaques denoting the homes of the famous. Arthur Lowe and Kenneth Williams are amongst many featured in the book. The central colour section is arranged by film genre. Bond, Rom-coms, Gangsters, Scary, Sixties, Hitchcock, Literary and Poptastic....

I Am Legend Blu-ray review

A three star film, no more, no less. The high definition transfer, though, is a flat-out five star piece of work. This is a brand new, glistening modern day blockbuster, so to be fair wed expect no less. And it really is bad. you’ve got the option to check out our review of the DVD here. The presentation is simply greater than the film its presenting. The Film The Disc...

Iron Man – The Official Movie Novelization review

Paul W. Smith checks out an excellent movie-to-book adaptation. However, hes caught in a surprise attack and seriously injured by weapons manufactured by Stark Industries. And what happens if certain rebel leaders are out for revenge too? Equally, with the film full of hi-tech action sequences, David condenses screen time into pacey description. Equally both the genial Yinsen and the steely Obadiah Stane come from Iron Man history. For extra suspense during Tonys time in captivity, he neatly adds sequences of Rhodeys search plans....

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe Edition review

Its a curious one,The Killing Joke. Discounting extras, youre basically paying twelve quid or so for just 48 pages of actual story. Rating: 4 out of 5

Iron Man movie review

And handily given Iron Man the Achilles heel every superhero needs. Its clear that Downey has brought everything to the part. I love Jeff Bridges, but this wasnt one for him. Stan Lees customary appearance is as jarring as ever, though I wont spoil it for you. Batman had better watch his ass.

Procession of the Dead by D. B. Shan review

Mike checks out the final part in D B Shan’s City trilogy. But is it really the end…? The second book swiftly followed, but the third never saw light of day. The first book introduces us to the charming Capac Raimi, a gangster whos new in The City. The break-neck ride rolls back into the station with a conclusion that is sure to prove divisive. Ill see you in The City....

The Day After Tomorrow Blu-ray review

Golden rules of a Roland Emmerich blockbuster. Never, ever, let plausibility get in the way of a good story. Dont worry with expensive actors when you could spend the money on some computer graphics. And always guff on for about 20 minutes after the audiences buttocks have given way. And so we haveThe Day After Tomorrow. On paper, a potentially interesting take on climate change, wrapped around a modern day blockbuster....

Wall Street Blu-ray review

Wall Street on Blu-ray? But theres still plenty to enjoy. Top of the bill, of course, is Michael Douglas outstanding Oscar-winning performance as Gordon Gekko. Weveexamined this topic before, but its still an odd choice for the format. So you get hefty documentaries, including a terrific, nigh-on hour long Greed Is Good retrospective. Throw in an assortment of deleted scenes, and you have a good package. Your wallet will thank you, too, and your telly will barely notice....

The Resident Evil ready reckoner

More zombies than you’ve got the option to shake a leg bone at. Street Fighter 7 EX Plus Alpha Ultimate Edition Super Hyper Fighting, anyone? That accolade falls toAlone in the Dark). You really did value every single bullet, and tried desperately to conserve ammo for that next big threat. Visually, its aged badly, but the game is still as good as it ever was. But, its worth a play if only for the custom shotgun you eventually get....

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney DS review

Kim checks out the newest instalment in the Ace Attorney series… and happily, it’s quite good! TheAce Attorneyseries started in 2005 withPhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Many of us went out, played the first game and wore egg on our faces. Not only was it quite original, but also engrossing and brilliantly executed. I dont know about anyone else, but Ive been gripped by this series. I call my first witness!...
