  • Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Review

    “BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER” Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the latest MCU film and is definitely the most sombre one to date, since the star of the first film, Chadwick Boseman, sadly died before being able to film this one. As a result, it seemed like the sequel would never happen. However, the team from…

    “BLACK ADAM” Black Adam is the latest film in the DC cinematic universe (which is kind of up in the air about what direction it’s going in at this point).

  • The Woman King (2022) – Review

    “THE WOMAN KING” The Woman King is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood with a screenplay by Dana Stevens who worked in collaboration with Maria Bello to develop the story.

  • Thymesia – Game Review

    Thymesia (available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC) (PC version used for review) Yeah, I don’t know how to pronounce it either I feel like most non-from software Soulslikes are following a very similar formula: emulate Dark Souls in gameplay and difficulty, and not much else.

  • The Forgiven (2021) – Review

    “THE FORGIVEN” The Forgiven came into film festivals last year and is both written and directed by John Michael McDonagh, and based on a book by Lawrence Osbourne.
