Doctor Who: Series 8 trailer
The first full length trailer is out for Doctor Who. It feels different. The Doctor is certainly different. What do you think? We’ve got the Daleks back — and they seem happy! The Doctor is now, as suspected, over 2,000 years old. Clara isn’t even sure if he’s a good man. The Doctor will take […]
No Midgard Serpent: A review of Jormungand
The anime Jormungand is named after the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr, a creature who it said will signal the end of the world should it ever let go of its own tail. This enemy of Thor is so large that it circles all around the world. There is no more Norse mythology in Jormungand – even […]
Cleverly layered: A Knights of Sidonia anime review
The Knights of Sidonia is the first anime I’ve watched on Netflix. One of the reasons I wanted to watch it was to encourage Netflix to buy in more – and they did do the heavy lifting on this one. The other reason was that the Knights of Sidonia looked like an interesting but relatively […]

Superhero Week: Behind the scenes at The Flash pilot episode
This is almost painful to post. I’m still waiting for Arrow season 2 to appear on Amazon Instant Video or Netflix in the UK. It’s Arrow which introduces Flash. Meanwhile, there’s no news as to whether The CW has signed a license deal to take The Flash to the UK. That’s painful because this featurette […]
Doctor Who: I see into your soul Doctor – trailer
The latest trailer for Doctor Who shows us more than just a teaser. Just a little. It tells us a lot more. That voice is familiar. No spoilers. Watch if you want; you’ll know who it is. You’ll also hear that the speaker likes the darkness they think they can see in the Doctor. We […]

Just how close are we to more Doctor Who? Very close! You can pre-order the series 8 DVD and pre-order the series 8 blu-ray from the official BBC Store. Shipping is free in the UK.

Monstrous: A review of the One Piece Movie – Strong World
I was lucky. The first time I watched Strong World was years ago and on the big screen during the 2010 Scotland Loves Anime. It was actually my introduction to One Piece. When I went from the movie to the original show it was quite a change. That’s because the show is so old it […]
