A steampunk magician in L’Orange’s “Blame the Author”

October 18, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If the hip hop sounds familiar then that’s because Del the Funky Homosapien, the vocalist, is from the animated band Gorillaz. I’m not hip enough to have known that before today but I certainly have some Gorillaz albums in my collection. I think Harwood Gordon is excellent as the magician. Alexander Thompson wrote and directed […]

Human emotions. Inhuman threats. A review of Beyond the Boundary the Movie

October 18, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I reviewed the Beyond the Boundary series back in January 2016 and called it a dangerous urban fantasy. It’s 18 months later and I remember it fondly – more fondly than I come across in that early review. On reflection I think that’s because the characters were so strong. As it happens I also reflected […]

Sold out before Christmas? Pokemon Monopoly

I’ve subscribed to Anovos’s newsletter because their collection of fashionable geeky merch are too to miss. As Star Trek Discovery is the cool new thing I headed over to Anovos’ Star Trek section to see what they have. The gold bubble filter brings up this great collection of dresses. My slight concern here is that […]
