The other day I finally managed to cross off one of the things on my (admittedly rather limited and lacking in scope) list of things I’ve always wanted to do (aside from buy a plastic figure of Dr. Robotnik). For years I’ve made do with wooden shelves, converted bedside cabinets…

In this week’s guest blog post, Sam gives us a brief overview of why Hollywood still has some way to go when it comes to gender equality, and explains why attempts to make a strong female lead can backfire and result in removing part of what makes them a woman….

Warning: this blog post contains spoilers for not just the ending of Fallout: New Vegas, but the expanded DLC (DownLoadable Content) missions too. One of the first articles I placed on the Blogsplosion was a lengthy exploration of my character Max Valerion, within which I explained my disappointment at how…

I rarely join in with fandoms having gut reactions to changes in their beloved franchises, especially negative ones. One of my prouder fan moments must have been reserving judgement about Daniel Craig back when he was first announced as being the next James Bond. The tabloids shit themselves inside-out with…

Very recently I fixed a small injustice in my life, by spending what most would class as an extortionate amount of money on a small figure my five year old self was denied, not because my parents didn’t buy it for me, but because it simply didn’t exist. It’s Dr….

You have to understand that there’s a reason I like Casino Royale so much. Put yourself in my position – you’ve just watched the Bond franchise fire a nail gun into its own ball-sack over and over for two hours in the absolutely dire Die Another Day, a film that…

If there’s something to be said about A View to a Kill, it’s that it’s 80’s. Very 80’s. If AVtaK (which in itself sounds like a failed Sinclair or Amstrad computer) was a person, it would grease back its hair, wear cheap suits from Woolworths, carry a brick phone and…

I went to the nearest multiplex cinema with the two blokes and a chick yesterday, and there was an interesting turn of events. Prior to seeing the film, the two blokes weren’t brilliantly keen on Daniel Craig’s Bond and I was rather fond of him (he would rank second behind…

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…

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…
