Overwatch is a new gamble, a new hope, for Blizzard Entertainment. The game is a multi-player, first-person shooter set in a new game world. It’s set in the future, with advanced technology and a global crisis. The game is described as easy to learn with Blizzard using the phrase “pick up and play”. They’re going […]
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies trailer
We’re sneaking up to the end of the year and that means another Hobbit film. I wonder what people who’ve not read the books are thinking as they watch The Battle of the Five Armies trailer. Are they thinking; “What’s dragon-sickness? Where did all those armies come from? Thank goodness Legolas is there.”
Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie trailer is loaded with feels

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has a new movie coming out. He’s not the clean cut goodie two-shoes now. The movie is called Horns and is based on the book of the same name by Joe Hill. You can buy a copy in paper, ebook or even as an audio download from Amazon. Why buy […]
Judge Dredd: Superfiend trailer
This is a trailer for Adi Shankar’s Judge Dredd tribute. Adi explains the animation is a departure from the film and channels more of the humour found in the comic book series. There’s plenty of shocks and gore in here but this “Bootleg series” show is apparently aimed at children. I suppose that works. I’m […]

Black Butler live action coming to UK; latest trailer
I watched a chunk of the Black Butler anime before giving up. I wasn’t the target demographic. The live action is very different. It’s set in the future. There’s a different sort of the anime-esq gender role tensions. Sebastian is still one hell of a butler. He’s looking after a young noble who has had […]
Tomorrowland’s trailer will intrigue but it’s not Star Wars
Disney have a themepark called Tomorrowland and they’re working on a movie too. Once rumoured to be a Star Wars film we can now see that’s not true but there is sci-fi here. George Clooney and Britt Robertson star. They can access a place called Tomorrowland and while they visit their actions have a direct […]
The latest Interstellar trailer gets down to amazing details
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar started off by teasing us what the movie would be about. This trailer lets us know. Okay, sure, we’ve a much better idea of what Interstellar will be about and it’s look and feel. This is true. I can tell there’s still plenty of twists, turns and surprises. It’s easy to see […]
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor launch trailer
If I’m asked for famous Lord of the Rings games I’d say Cubicle 7’s The One Ring or MERP. These are tabletop RPGs. Can’t someone make a computer game that does as well? Rated 18, is Shadow of Mordor a candidate for this prestigous role – the best Middle Earth computer game of all time? […]
