Review: Iron Maiden Darkest Red

August 18, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Laithwaites mismanages expectations by describing this Iron Maiden-branded wine as a collector’s item. It’s not. It’s a paper wrapper, albeit a good one, around a cost-effective and pretty darn tasty red wine!

A review of Blue Lock the Movie – Episode Nagi

July 3, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I watched Blue Lock on the big cinema screen and that’s still pretty rare for an anime. However, I haven’t seen the anime series, and I don’t particularly like sports anime. That’s a bit of a risk! Now, the good news is that Blue Lock the Movie is good. You don’t need to know anything […]

Will they save the world? A Spy x Family Code: White review

April 24, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It helps if you already know and love the characters, but I do not think you need to know either the manga or the anime series to enjoy Code White.

That escalated badly! A review of Phoenix: Reminiscence of Flower

November 13, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Studio 4°C anime is directed by Shoujirou Nishimi and suits fans of surreal and/or bleak fantasy. The flying evil goose spaceship is just one example.

Men are idiots: A review of Macross Plus (Movie Edition)

November 13, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was calling Macross Plus the movie edition “Top Gun in space” in my head long before I heard pretty much everyone else on the Sunday night of Scotland Loves Anime call it the same thing. Ergo, it makes it into the review. However, the male idiots in Top Gun were at least a bit […]

Jazz to the MAX: A review of Blue Giant

November 12, 2023 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Aside from reading the synopsis, I knew absolutely nothing about Blue Giant before going in – and I know very little about jazz (can’t even read sheet music, in fact). But that didn’t stop this from being a very enjoyable film. ~B

Sentimental sap in the best possible way: A review of The Concierge

November 12, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You might want to know that Japanese celebs do many animal voices. I also got to see the feature-length show on the big screen here in Europe, and I see press coverage that says Crunchyroll will/did so a cinema release in the States.

Anti-Scooby-Doo: A review of Lonely Castle in the Mirror

November 12, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you like good stories and not too much mystery (I think the twist in the tale is easy to spot), then I’d recommend taking a trip to the Castle.
