You might remember back in 2010 (yes, that long ago) when SyFy first started flirting with Blood and Chrome as a Battlestar Galactica spinoff. It flipped between being a TV series, an online only series and then being dropped all together. Now the “original” two hour pilot is being chopped up into ten 7 to […]

Doctor Who: Time War trailer
These two videos are fan made trailers for the Time War. We’ve heard a lot about the Time War since the Doctor with Christopher Eccleston playing the Ninth Doctor but know very little about it. The Doctor and the Time Lords fought the Daleks and, in theory, only the Doctor was left. These Time War […]

Wolf Children review
Wolf Children is an anime by Mamoru Hosoda who is responsible for Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I watched Summer Wars at the Scotland Loves Anime film festival of 2011 and really enjoyed it – I went into Wolf Children with my expectations high. This is always dangerous. Wolf Children is […]
Blood-C: The Last Dark review
Technically Blood-C: The Last Dark is a sequel but the creative team re-jigs things slightly and the film stands on its own two feet. I didn’t notice or mind that I hadn’t seen any of the previous anime. Action kicks off in a train. A vampire looses control and goes on a face eating rampage. […]
Berserk: Movie 2 – The Battle for Doldrey
The Battle for Doldrey, the second Berserk movie, ensures that anime lives up to its 18-certification with plenty of blood, sweat and tears – blood from a torture scene and some deadly combat and the sweat and tears from all the other physical activities people tend to get up to. The hybrid form of animation […]
Berserk: Movie 1 – The Egg of the King review
