Let’s Review: Eaters of the Dead

One of my favourite films of all time is ‘The 13th Warrior’ by the director responsible for Predator (the good one), Die Hard (the Christmas Movie) and The Hunt for Red October. 13th Warrior was his last movie before he ended up in prison for lying to the FBI. Regardless of that, I have alwaysContinue reading “Let’s Review: Eaters of the Dead”

Finished. At Last.

Lets Review: The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan Nearly eight hundred pages of description, dialogue, action, edge-of-the-seat tension and infected nightmares. And that list doesn’t even scratch the surface of what Jordan has offered. It has taken me just over three weeks to read this book with all of Life happening around meContinue reading “Finished. At Last.”

Let’s Review: The Final Empire

Here is an admission: I have never before read anything by Brandon Sanderson. Nothing at all. Nada. Nowt. But I had heard lots and lots about how good his work was. Hell’s bells – he was even chosen to finish Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. So, with a sense of anticipation, I spent aContinue reading “Let’s Review: The Final Empire”

Let’s Review: The Demon’s Curse – A Tale of Mauls Darkblade

Published in 2005, the Daemon’s Curse is based on the original Malus Darkblade story presented in issue one of Warhammer Monthly (March 1998). I have had the series on my shelves, collecting dust, for the last few years – though the books themselves are well thumbed. I have read the tale at least three timesContinue reading “Let’s Review: The Demon’s Curse – A Tale of Mauls Darkblade”

Lets Review: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (I promise I’m over 18!).

This review has been sitting in my drafts folder for over a week, waiting to be finished. This has turned out to be harder than I envisioned for a couple of reasons. First, the completed draft doesn’t seem to have saved for whatever reason – a pity, but not the end of the world. Secondly,Continue reading “Lets Review: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (I promise I’m over 18!).”

Let’s review: Noah (2014)

Sat in a caravan over the holiday, with the rain whipping down, Netflix was my friend. One of the films that piqued my interest was Noah. The film is more than a faithful retelling of the Judo -Christian Bible story or the Mesopotamian legend uncovered on cuneiform tablets by the British Museum. Instead, I takeContinue reading “Let’s review: Noah (2014)”

Let’s review: 13 Bullets

So first, an admission. I picked this book up for a quid in WHSmiths for my holiday and didn’t have high expectations. It was just something to fill the time while I waited to come home to my WiFi. I picked it up because it had a cool blurb and was on clearance. I amContinue reading “Let’s review: 13 Bullets”

Lets Review: The Dark Crystal

So it isn’t a book. I know. I have, in my few years upon this Earth figured out the difference between a movie and a book, but having recently watched this film again on Netflix, I really wanted to celebrate some of the things that I think the story and the production achieved well. IContinue reading “Lets Review: The Dark Crystal”

Lets Review: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The Hobbit – It is the bar against which almost all other children’s fantasy is judged, and much adult fantasy fiction too.  Published in September 1937, it has endured as the most influential novel in the genre coupled with the Lord of the Rings trilogy which came out seventeen years later.  What better book isContinue reading “Lets Review: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.”
