Max Payne Original Motion Picture Score Cd Review

I was pleasantly surprised, therefore, when I listened through this CD of the original motion picture score for the first time. Far from echoing the critical failure of film, the score manages to sustain your interest throughout its 44-minute runtime. Scores such as this are a tough task in many ways. Its themes of action and sci-fi are such that it needs to have a fast, impactful tone that grabs from the off and doesn’t let go....

Merlin Series 5 Episode 12 Review The Diamond Of The Day Part 1

5.12 Diamond of the Day (Part 1) Morgana has a new weapon in her arsenal, a creature capable of draining the magic from people. She sees nothing wrong in using this upon her former ally, Ari, despite Mordred voicing his reservations. She’s unstoppable, though, as she knows that without his magic, Merlin is powerless and that Camelot will surely fall if Arthur doesn’t have a powerful wizard – albeit unknowingly – in his midst....

Monster Hunter World Review

The backbone of Capcom’s Monster Hunter series – a sweet and simple gameplay loop that sees players hunt ferocious monsters and then improve their gear and skills before questing after bigger, badder monsters – remains as sturdy and addictive as ever in Monster Hunter: World. It’s the grandest, most inclusive installment in the series yet, with lush, sprawling environments teeming with creatures that are equal parts eye-catching and terrifying. Longtime fans will feel right at home, and newcomers will find a deep but accessible action RPG to sink their teeth into....

Ms Marvel 8 Review

Ms Marvel has been one of this year’s breakout titles – if you’re not been reading it, hit those back issue bins and make that right. I’m going to try and hold back my blatant gushing during this review (you can pretty much read that in my review for Ms. Marvel #7, here) and just take a look at this great comic book. For those who did read my review of #7, you may remember I was not so keen on that particular issue, feeling that after such a strong run it lacked the emotional punch I’ve come to expect from this book....

Music In The Movies Single Band And Artist Film Soundtracks

I’ll have to wait until I see the film to see if this works or not, but when looking into the soundtracks for some of this year’s movies, this isn’t the only recent example. Noah Baumbach’s latest movie Greenberg is scored by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and later in the year we’ll get to hear Beck bringing Sex Bob-omb’s music to life in Scott Pilgrim Vs The World and Daft Punk providing the score for Tron: Legacy....

New Girl Menus Review

Coach is still around, having moved into (temporarily?) Schmidt’s vacant room as he finally finishes moving out. Coach sees Nick down a behemoth breakfast of various Chinese foods and begs Nick to start exercising with him. Nick protests at first but eventually gives in. Winston wants to join, but Coach remarks on how Winston is always too injured, setting in motion a rousing sequence of events leading to Winston remaining in a wheelchair for the rest of the episode....

Once Upon A Time Season 5 Episode 10 Review Broken Heart

5.10 Broken Heart We experienced our first taste of Dark Hook, and he did not disappoint. Back in his leathers and with a slightly new hairstyle, he is the image of a swoon-worthy swaggering pirate. Well, except for the whole evil bit, like when he tells Emma she will always be an orphan. He knows how to hurt. Unlike Emma, who managed to hold off the darkness for days (weeks?...

Oscars The Popular Film Category Shouldn T Be Necessary

… And yet, in much more controversial news (at least outside of industry guilds), the 91st Academy Awards will also be the first time we get an “Achievement in Popular Film” category. This choice is obviously in reaction to a steady decline in viewership for Oscar telecasts. While the Academy Awards still remains the most popular awards show, this past March’s 90th ceremony was the lowest viewed in television history, with a meager 26....

Outlander Season 3 Episode 2 Review Surrender

Outlander Season 3, Episode 2 Sex scenes, like any other kind of scene in a TV drama episode, should be vehicles for expressing character. Unfortunately, they are usually the same, requisite formula that reveal little about the characters or the plot other than Yep, These Two People Are Having Sex. This was something that kept running through my mind in this week’s episode of Outlander, “Surrender,” which saw Claire and Jamie continuing to live their lives centuries apart....

Pantani The Accidental Death Of A Cyclist Dvd Review

But I finished watching Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist and felt as if I hadn’t seen a traditional sports documentary at all, because the love of the sport didn’t come across to me as a pure and clear motive for its making. Muhammad Ali, as an example, is already well established as an iconic, untouchable figure in When We Were Kings. It’s easy to celebrate him. Pantani is a very different character....

Peaky Blinders Series 3 Episode 2 Review

The Shelbys shouldn’t throw parties. Someone always ends up getting shot. It didn’t last. By the end of the episode Tommy was back to being terrified. What a final moment that was, not only for the cliff-hanger, but for the damn style of the thing. As the camera tracked backwards from Tommy screaming for an ambulance, the wide shot was gloriously choreographed. Arthur and the boys kicking seven shades out of the Italian assassin, a statuesque Tatiana surveilling the chaos, Polly slo-mo running in that Parisian couture gown… there was violence and beauty everywhere you looked....

Peep Show Series 9 Episode 3 Review Threeism

9.3 Threeism Although both episodes leading up to Threeism were great, neither peaked in their final moments. Super Hans’ wedding and Jerry’s decampment didn’t crescendo out of Peep Show’s characteristically backwards algebra of self-delusional logic. Threeism, on the other hand, built steadily towards a big payoff. By the time we’d reached the halfway point, everything was in place for a long, hilariously uncomfortable evening of sexual indiscretion and relationship sabotage....

Philip K Dick S Electric Dreams Episode 7 Review The Father Thing

Leaving an almost four-month gap between Electric Dreams’ previous episode and this story was an unwittingly judicious move by Channel 4. Not only would it have felt clumsy to show two alien-possession stories back-to-back, the relative complexity of the first—in which the alien invader turns out to be preferable to the human it imitates—would have emphasised a lack of the same in the second. With a good chunk of air between them, it’s easier to view The Father Thing on its own merits....

Actually, we got two! The episode opens with Jake and Noah shopping, where they run across a familiar motorcycle. That’s right; Mentor Ji from Power Rangers Samurai makes a surprise appearance that even the online fandom didn’t find out about! I follow Power Rangers news online far more than one should, so the fact even I was surprised by this? It made me smile. Thank god Jason David Frank wasn’t around to spoil it....

Preacher Season 2 Episode 7 Review Pig

2.7 Pig While Jesse is still looking for the Grail, and talking to crazy street preachers about the impending apocalypse, he’s not the focus of this week’s episode. The focus is on the new mysterious organisation that is chasing Jesse Custer to try and get Genesis under control, The Grail. We’ve seen them briefly; the lounge singer that sweet-talks Jesse is a Grail agent, and we’ve seen a few mysterious men in white suits in brief since the first season of the show, but this is the first time we’re actually spending any time with Herr Starr and the organisation he’s in charge of....

Primeval Season 5 Episode 3 Review

While Doctor Who did Victorian England in spectacular, if brief fashion, it seems that ITV/Watch and Impossible Pictures were hobbled a little when trying to bring their vision of Victorian history to us, with a budget that seems to only stretch to a one-day ticket to the Black Country Museum for the cast and crew. All we get to show us we’re in Victorian London is a lot of very empty day shots....

Ray Donovan Episode 8 Review Bridget

1.8 Bridget Whoever it is, (both, actually) Bridget is an episode concerned with families and relationships. It’s a full-cast diversion. Lena, who has been given very little to do so far, is given her own storyline to address her relationship problems. Even relative newbie Sully has a moment that focuses on the family implications of his leaving Boston on his Marlowesque mission to terminate Mickey Donovan with extreme prejudice. For all that, Bridget is concerned with the relationship between the Donovan men and the women in their lives....
