I’m told it has previously been quite hard to jump into the quirky, sometimes adult, Kizumonogtari series. Actually, a quick look on Amazon seems to confirm that with a host of anime and manga with similar names and characters. The good news is that this three-part film is a prequel. Start here. I’m glad I […]
Gorgeous but flawed: A review of Kingsglaive – Final Fantasy
Kingsglaive Final Fantasy and Warcraft are in a battle over which is the best ‘movie based on a computer game’. That’s another way of saying that Kingsglaive looks great, is entirely loyal to the franchise, takes itself very seriously, nearly works but is missing something. In the computer game Final Fantasy XV we follow Prince […]

The ‘first world’, just as we know it today – the rich countries – […]
Go wild: A review of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Colouring Book

Infamous adversaries – A review of Batman: The Killing Joke
I went to see Batman: The Killing Joke having read the original graphic novel some years before, but not with it fresh in my mind and having read some SDCC-born concern over the treatment of Batgirl. I left wondering why we had two separate movies held together by a narrator. The first half has a […]
