Film Reviews: The Super Mario Bros Movie

It’s finally here! The Super Mario Bros Movie has been 30 years in the making. There is a legacy of redemption here, after the 1993 movie deterred Nintendo from using their products for TV and movies for decades. After such a lengthy wait, my eagerness for this new film could not be overstated. There was […]

Film Reviews: Black Widow (Spoilers)

It’s been a long time coming, in more ways than one. Black Widow is the solo story of the titular character that’s long overdue.

Film Reviews – Sonic the Hedgehog

We have yet another video game-to-movie… erm… movie. This time it’s a piece of Nineties nostalgia – Sonic the Hedgehog is pretty iconic, even to a self-confessed Nintendo fanboy like myself. Sega’s mascot has been the star of a huge library of games, and whilst I haven’t played many of them, I found myself rather […]

Game Reviews – Luigi’s Mansion 3

I’ll start out by saying that I enjoyed this game. Mansion 3 (I’m too lazy to keep typing out the whole title) features a lot of familiar tropes from the first installment in the series (I can’t speak for 2 as I never played it), and adds some new layers and mechanics. Vacuuming up ghosts […]
