While I’m waiting for Arrow s2 to drop onto Netflix UK the CW team are teasing us with their next project. Flash has been associated with Arrow in the TV show… and this helps. Flash feels like a tricky show to make work but the Arrow team have proven their skills. What do you think? […]

SyFy step up the sci-fi with Dominion
Rather than starting at the beginning so every one can catch up – SyFy have done the mature geek thing of launching a series that follows on from where the movie left off. The catch? I don’t think I ever got around to watching Paul Bettany in Scott Stewart’s Legion film even though it ticks […]

Demonic chaos: A review of the Blue Exorcist movie
I’ve reviewed the two parts of the Blue Exorcist TV show on Geek Native and rather enjoyed the show. Those encounters were based on the subbed version of the anime. I jumped at the chance to watch Blue Exorcist: The Movie at my local indie cinema but made a surprise discovery when I got there. […]
Watch the Constantine trailer (UK)
NBC have released the first official trailer for their new Constantine show. Blogs have picked up the YouTube version which, oddly, is blocked in the UK. In a show of digital marketing smarts the very same trailer is available for all, even outside of America, to watch on Facebook. Post by Constantine. What do […]

Two minute Gotham trailer
Smallville was the TV series prequel to Superman. Gotham is the TV series prequel to Batman. I think the similarities pretty much stop there. This trailer for Gotham looks good. We follow a young Jim Gordon as a detective, watch him promise Bruce Wayne that he’ll catch the killer of his parents. There’s even a […]
Disney marks Star Wars Day with Star Wars Rebels full trailer
In time for Star Wars Day Disney has released the first full trailer for the new Star Wars Rebels show. We’ve a band of heroes; Sabine, Kanan, Hera, Ezra, Zeb and Chopper and they’re up against the Empire. The big question is; does this look as good as the Clone Wars? What do you think?
Turning the anime market upside down – Patema Inverted rocks Kickstarter
We’re lucky here in the UK that there are companies determined to import the very best anime. All the Anime, based down the road in Glasgow, is one such. At last year’s Scotland Loves Anime festival I watched Patema Inverted and enjoyed it – despite it messing, at level 10, with my vertigo. Now All […]
