Superhero Week: Constantine rumours grow
I had hopes but low expectations for the Constantine TV show. Of course; I liked it, no one else did and it was cancelled. When I say ‘no one else liked it’ I mean its ratings were bad. I haven’t actually found anyone who admits to not watching the show. After the show was cancelled […]

Cybernetic ghosts: A review of Ghost in the Shell – The New Movie
“The New Movie” might not be a very original name for the Ghost in the Shell’s title but it the technique kinda works – promising more of the same. I think that approach works for Ghost in the Shell as The Force Awakens works for Star Wars. We’ve had some experimentation with prequels, Ghost in […]
