In previous weeks, I’ve referred to Sinbad as “bad” or synonyms of such, and I’m a little concerned I might have lessened the impact of negative language by leaping in with this so soon.

Merlin – Another Series 5 Trailer!
It's time for another new Merlin trailer, less than a week after the last one.

Sinbad: Old Man of the Sea – Dork Review
So far, I’ve written two reviews of Sky’s Sinbad, one of the first two episodes and another of last week’s episode three.

Last time, I said the show was an interesting set-up for a Merlin-esque fantasy … [Read more...]

A group of misfits sail the seas, led by Elliot Knight as Sinbad, legendary sailor, cursed to die if he sets foot on land for more than a day and a night. So, is this a worthy addition … [Read more...]
The Amazing Spider-Man – Dork Review
Spider-Man returns, a mere five years after the last film, with not only a new actor in the spandex but a total restart of the story. Peter Parker is now played by Social Network star Andrew Garfield and has reverted back to high school, where he rides a skateboard and mopes like a real … [Read more...]
