Guilty Pleasures #10 - The Polar Express

Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year everyone.


Time to look at a Christmas movie. The Polar Express is an adaptation of a book by Chris Van Allsburg, released in 2004, it had a decent box office performance, but was not considered a great success owing to its massive $165 million budget.

It received mixed reviews from critics, with many not liking the motion capture animation (all be it, a better version of it than a lot of films) with a 56% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a 61 on metacritic.

What's my opinion on the film? Well time to jump into this holiday classic find out just how interesting a film this is.

TV Retrospective: Arrow Season 2 episodes 1-3 review

We now take a look into Season 2 of the series, before we dive into the first episode, I'll briefly mention the series 1 recap bonus. It's a basic recap of events leading up to the season 1 finale, and their eventual outcome. It’s quite thorough, but it is just a recap of events narrated by John Barrowman (Malcolm Merlyn) and there is no chance in hell I will be reviewing it, with that said, let's dig into season 2 of Arrow and see how the destruction of the glades pushes the quality of the show.

Guilty Pleasures #9 - Space Warriors


It’s been a while, but we’re back, and our next outing is space warriors. How could you possibly go wrong with a title like that?

A movie released in 2013, I happened to come across it in Asda for £5, with a title like Space Warriors, I couldn’t resist. My research reveals very little about movie. I don’t have any budget or box office figures that I could find, implying that it was definitely done on the cheap.

Reviews about this, like most of my Guilty Pleasures are… mixed. However, unlike the usual movies, I’ve had to watch a movie to form an opinion, because there are so few of them. I did a post a few early responses to the movie on Twitter but that’s it.

Constantine Episode 8 - The Saint of Last Resorts (part 1) review

Welcome to my next, and sadly also my last Constantine review - I have enjoyed the show, but it's content is somewhat above my head, and it's notoriously difficult for me to review. It's also where the show takes its mid-season break, so...
