Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: From Russia With Love

From Russia with Love

Well shit. It had to happen eventually, didn’t it? We’ve found a Bond film that I can never remember jack about, and that’s because not only is it pretty damn good, but it’s also probably the only Bond film with no gimmick other than being a straight up old-fashioned spy…

Two Blokes and a Chick Watch: Moonraker

Best moment in the film. DAT FACE.

Moonraker is often remembered as BOND IN SPACE as it’s the one film where Bond transcends his role of special agent to become an astronaut. It’s also one of the more formulaic of the Bond films, being almost a carbon-copy of its predecessor The Spy Who Loved Me, albeit with…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Die Another Day

Nyah

When Die Another Day first came out in cinemas, I went to see it an instantly took a severe dislike to it (translation: it turned me into a frothing, raging fanboy). It felt like a missed opportunity to truly celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bond ruined by CGI, bad writing…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: For Your Eyes Only

Martine stares at the audience

I don’t like For Your Eyes Only very much. It’s a genuinely difficult film to remember after any period of time on account of being a truly forgettable experience. Case in point, following the film I asked the other two blokes and the chick what they remembered from what they’d…

Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Goldfinger

Goldfinger Laser Scene

For me, weekends mean booze, video games and movies. I do this in the company of my other half and two very good friends. We often notice things about films we love, and because we care we pull them apart and chastise them. Here’s the first in a series of…

PC Elitism – Because PC Owners Can Be Smug Pricks Too

PC Master Race

So I’ve lambasted Apple and stuck my nose up at the smuggery of the self-satisfied lifestyle that they promote, but I feel like maybe I’ve been unfair. Perhaps I’ve been overly biased, because very recently I saw something that made my blood boil and caused me to reach an epiphany….

Video Game Scavenger Hunts, a.k.a the Art Director Really Wants You to Appreciate Their Hard Work

A GTA 3 hidden package

Were scavenger hunts ever fun in games? Is there nothing more tedious than scouring a digital landscape for small digital tokens? Look, I get it: it took sodding ages to create these digital worlds and one way to make sure that the player appreciates every corner of the map (and…

There’s No ‘I’ in ‘Team’, Except for Apple’s Marketing iTeam

No Solicting - No Religious Queries - No Apple Fans

If you know me at all then you might be aware of my hangups over Apple products. There’s a vast misconception that I don’t like Apple hardware and software and that I’ve a personal embargo on the purchase of aforementioned products. Not at all! This is absurd for the following…

PlayStation Trophies: My Unhealthy Addiction

PlayStation Trophies

Note: This was originally an application piece written for a job as an amateur game reviewer. To no one’s surprise, there were about 30 applicants and I didn’t get the job. I don’t hold any trophies for sport or physical achievement. It’s not like I didn’t try, my brain would…
