#38 - The Games Maker

What do you think of when you hear a title like that? I think of creativeness above all else. Too bad this movie really doesn’t do it for me. The Gamesmaker was released in 2014 and has 40% rotten tomatoes rating with a 47% with audiences.

We have another Signature one here, man do they keep cropping up. Such gems as Debug, Norm of the North, Kung Fu Rabbit, Barely Lethal, Robot Overlords, Time Runners (coming next year), and a fair few others owe their existence to signature. I don’t know whether to send them flowers or a hand-grenade, although I’m veering toward the hand-grenade.

But their last movie with a child protagonist, Robot Overlords was my favourite of the ones I’ve watched. (I’ve seen enough of Norm of the North to know it’s my least favourite – might’ve made my top 10 if it were last year) so without further ado, let’s give them a shot.

Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Episode 3 review - The Holocrons of Fate

Thanks to the delay of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Star Wars Rebels has returned a week early. Here are my thoughts on the latest episode, the Holocrons of Fate

4 issue Test #30 - Captain America: Steve Rogers

It was only a matter of time before we got to this one, although it took nearly 2 weeks for the final issue to arrive. This comic eared significant controversy over things I’ll discuss in depth. Nick Spencer does not strike me as an idiot, but it would be idiotic to assume this twist could escape controversy. For many outside of comics, Steve Rogers is Captain America so him coming back and reclaiming the mantle was inevitable and it happened during the Assault on Pleasant Hill crossover. A lot of the crossover did help set up this title, but I’ll give details as they happen. Let’s take a look and see if this infamous book offers something to soothe the burn.

DC Rebirth review - Nightwing/Justice League

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Episode 1 review - The Ghost

Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is back baby!

Last year’s season had a strong first half and a second half that proved kinda lacklustre. But we have an interesting premise. Ghost Rider. I’m not all that familiar with the character from the comics and ultimately delving into the mystical elements of the Marvel universe with a rag tag team of mostly normal people kinda worried me. Were my worries justified? Let’s take a look

DC Rebirth review - Action Comics/Detective Comics/Batman/Superman/The Flash/Wonder Woman

So DC has decided to relaunch all their titles with new creative teams and is attempting to bring legacy back into the DCU. This is a very good idea, legacy is one of the greatest assets DC has over Marvel, which has almost all of its heroes operating in the current day. Another interesting part a number of series are now biweekly, and since the Hiatus combined with how many titles I’m covering make it impossible to do 4 issue tests on all of them I’m going to review the bi-weekly titles in 2 reviews. The first will cover the titles that first came out in June, and the second will cover those that came out in July.

As usual, I’ll cover the first 4 issues of the relaunch, plus the rebirth issue if there is one. But bear in mind that I won’t be covering them in as much detail as I would a regular 4 issue test because I’m covering several comics at once.
