#29 - Antboy

So, we’re in December, hooray… or something. Or not, thanks to Thanksgiving ruining my schedules this is being pushed forward into November

Time to look at our next lesser known movie

  
Oh f*ck. Ah, Denmark… I know so little about you it’s a little embarrassing. But your nation did create this abomination, so I don’t think I’ll be making a tourist visit any time soon. Filmed in 2012, this film is infamous for a very expensive costume, the costume of the lead. Hell, it was so expensive, apparently Oscar Dietz, the actor who plays our lead couldn’t eat whilst wearing it… 250,000 euros spent on this costume, and good grief let’s just get on with this.

The Flash Season 2 Episodes 6-7 review - Enter Zoom/Gorilla Warfare

Schedule note: Because of Thanksgiving both The Flash and Agents of SHIELD will not be airing next week, unfortunately that means a triple episode review of Agents of SHIELD when we're at mid-season break. The reviews of Doctor Who and Star Wars Rebels will continue unopposed. 

With that out of the way, let's look at the next 2 episodes of the Flash

Guilty Pleasures #23 - Robot Overlords

To draw this year to the close, I’m going to be looking at 4 lesser known films and 1 big but ultimately sh*t adaptation. The first of these is Robot Overlords


Made in my home country of the United Kingdom (the word British is used by Politicians and Marketing companies, it’s rarely used by English/Scottish/Irish people, at least few that I’ve heard) anyway, this film was released in the UK in 2014 and in the US in 2015

Made with a low $21m budget, it doesn’t appear that film got a wide release, only being in 30 cinemas in the UK, as such what research I found seems to imply that this film did not make a return on that budget. The few critics that rated it on Rotten Tomatoes found in their favour, gaining a 60% rating, but it only rates 23% with audiences. IDMb ranked it somewhere in between with a 4.6/10.

Doctor Who Series 9 Episodes 8-9 review - The Zygon Inversion/Sleep No More

OK, I'll get this out of the way first. This is a review blog. I'm not here to provide commentary on the atrocities that have occurred in the last few weeks (my condolences to anyone who lost someone in any of those attacks). In perspective, obviously my rage of a couple of episodes of a British TV show is relatively small potatoes. But I do so, with some comedic intent, hope it might make someone smile.

With that said, let's take a look at one of the best and one of the worst episodes this season of Doctor Who with The Zygon Inversion and Sleep no more
