  • Sam I Am: Alexa’s mother****ing upgrade arrives…

    Have you ever wanted to yell: I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger ?   Amazon‘s ‘personal assistant’ Alexa undeniably revolutionised the home-tech market. But one of the few complaints about Alexa’s growing capabilities is that the audio-instruction devices still have limited accents and you...
  • Free the spirit: Ghostbusters heads to the ‘Afterlife’…

    Who you gonna call?  That’s the legendary question and next year the answer will still be ‘Ghostbusters‘ though it looks like the journey will take audiences out of New York, out into the rural plains of Oklahoma and possibly even into the ‘Afterlife‘. The original two films were smash-hit...
  • New Year’s Days and Transfused on the BBC…

    Following through on its promise to return ‘early in 2020’, we now know definitively that Doctor Who will be back on tv screens on New Year’s Day – kicking off with a slightly longer episode (entitled Spyfall) before settling back in for the rest of its run on consecutive...
  • Sequel/Prequel: Will ‘WW-1984’ be more equal than others?

  • Black Widow teaser spins onto the web…

    Despite its over-all success, one of the major criticisms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was its lack of female characters getting their own solo outings. Iron Man, Thor and Captain America got their own franchises but despite her prominence in the team and action sequences where was that Black...
  • ET: Etc? There’s no place like Home for the holidays…

    There’s no place like home? ET, even  nearly four decades later, is still considered one of the most heart-warming family films ever made. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the time since, you will know that the 1982 Steven Spielberg movie tells  the story of a young...
  • Will Noah Hawley’s ‘Trek’ sequel have a Legion of fans?

    There’s been a fair amount of Star Trek-related material recently (the return of Short Treks, the DVD release of Discovery‘s second season and the imminent launch of the much-anticipated Picard) but while these televisual projects were garnering attention it did seem as if the cinematic strand of the Star...
