It has crept up on us slowly but now it is here. Mario Kart 8 and Prey are the last two big releases before the E3 period. Most gamers […]
What really makes this a formative film to me is the way Boyle, taking inspiration from Alien, 2001 and the original Solaris, tried and succeeded with his first effort in the Sci-Fi genre. Unfortunately, because he hadn’t prior success in the field people didn’t view it as kindly as it deserved despite it showing that a director who studies other films of the type can make an original film in his own right to add to the masterpieces.
A week after the dust has settled on the Undertaker retiring at Wrestlemania 33, I suddenly realised this was a milestone for myself. Despite watching wrestling my whole life, The […]
