New Star Trek series due January 2017
CBS is bringing Star Trek back. Alex Kurtzman, who co-wrote and produced the 2009 Star Trek film with Roberto Orci and Star Trek Into Darkness, is acting as executive producer. The brand new Star Trek is being made for CBS ALL Access. This is the US channel’s digital subscription service for video on demand and […]
Preacher’s trailer looks intense
I’ve always tried to find time to read Preacher but have never managed. I think AMC will grab my time with Preacher (if it gets to the UK). This trailer came out in The Walking Dead’s ad break so you know who the target audience is and just how high hopes are for the show. […]
Better than the first: A review of Magi – The Kingdom of Magic
I described the ‘prequel’ as odd but catchy. In Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic we meet anime characters with names taken from famous Arabian stories; Aladdin, Alibaba, Sinbad, etc, who have magic powers or supernatural abilities and follow them as their adventures led to a battle around the independence of a small nation. The action […]
Watch 2 minutes of Jessica Jones
We’ve had some teasers already but the first full length trailer for Netflix’s Jessica Jones has just dropped. Looks like the show will be as dark as suggested. Tennant as Killgrave looks to be as scary bad as he needs to be. In the comic book series Jessica Jones was, briefly, a more traditional super […]
Vin Diesel in a D&D adventure as “The Last Witch Hunter”
Make of this what you will! Cinema star and mates sit around the table and D&D their way through an adventure inspired by his latest movie. We have Vin Diesel as Kaulder the immortal Witch Hunter, Laura Bailey as Vex’ahlia a half-elf ranger, Travis Willingham as Grog the Goliath barbarian, Jessica Chobot as The Headmistress […]
Boom! A review of a Certain Scientific Railgun
As mentioned in my review “Wizards vs Science” of A Certain Magical Index that the best character in the show is Misaka Mikoto. Misaka can manipulate electrical forces to such an extent that she’s a formidable warrior and a favourite tactic is to accelerate small items like coins at such speed that she acts as […]
Legend of the Lich Lord trailer
Legend of the Lich Lord was described to me as “D&D meets Lord of the Rings and shot in the style of The Office”. I had to check out it out. The trailer above is the teaser for the second season, which is due to start airing this month. The first series, “One Hit Die“, […]
Which side would you pick? A review of Expelled From Paradise
Expelled From Paradise begins with a metric ton of fan service. A sexy woman in the sort of strappy swimsuit that’ll sure to provoke a reaction – even if it’s the roll of the eyes – is lazing around on a beach when she’s approached by a hunky guy in budgie smugglers. The action picks […]
Wizards vs Science: A review of a Certain Magical Index
I knew the light novel series A Certain Magical Index is very popular and so I was quite interested to see what the anime has to offer. It’s a wise choice from the still new but experienced Animatsu team who are responsible for buying the license and bringing the title to the UK. The series […]
