Surreal horror-sitcom Psychoville returns, after becoming a cult hit in its first run. I loved it, and I don’t even have enough grounding in horror cinema to get half the references to horror movies. Ratings were not necessarily amazing, but pleasingly the BBC has given Reece Shearsmith and Steve … [Read more...]

Doctor Who: The Curse Of The Black Spot – Dork Review
Arr, shiver me timbers, parrots, skulls, yo ho ho, bottle of rum, pieces of eight, peg legs, silly hats, rubbish Disney trilogies, other pirate jokes. Now that’s out of the way, it’s time to review this week’s Doctor Who, in which the regular gang finally stop fretting about the uber-plot … [Read more...]
Thor – Dork Review
Following in the hissing footsteps of Iron Man, Marvel Studios brings you Thor, their latest attempt to push a lesser-known hero to a wider audience, in advance of his role in next year’s Avengers. But the thunder god is a slightly more fantastical premise than Captain America, Iron Man or Hulk. … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Day Of The Moon – Dork Review
After watching the second episode of Doctor Who, I scratched my head. Then I wandered around. None of it helped. I still had no notion of what was going on in the last couple of scenes, so I’ll probably spoil them in this review as a form of therapy. You have been warned. So was it all confusion … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Impossible Astronaut – Dork Review
After much ado, the first episode of Doctor Who series six finally unfolded backwards across BBC1. By the time it aired, I had stopped reading publicity, not just due to a nerdish fear of spoilers, but also the feeling that the hype was becoming akin to the second coming of Jesus. It’s even … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Series Six – Dork Preview
The return of Doctor Who on Saturday is being anticipated with a pleasingly messianic fervour. Even in America, where they think we’re silly and quaint, the Doctor’s oh-so-British antics have been embraced. So much so that the they're airing the episode on the same date as the UK (I'm not bitter) … [Read more...]
Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith
So, I was scheduled to do a post in advance of Saturday’s new Doctor Who series. I was going to be excited about upcoming reviews, describe my ludicrously high expectations, all the stuff you might expect. But then, last night, we heard that Elisabeth Sladen, aka Sarah Jane Smith of both Who and … [Read more...]
Attack The Block – Dork Preview
In upcoming movie Attack The Block, aliens are invading London. If they hit the Kent-ish suburbs where I lurk, they’d be able to march cheerily from house to house, licking stray people out of the back of their rooms. Fortunately for the nacho/guacamole industry, they are hitting a South London … [Read more...]
Sucker Punch – Dork Review
Many of my previous film reviews have been of massively acclaimed Oscar-contender movies, where I could only add to a deafening praise chorus. Here, reviewing Sucker Punch, I have the opposite problem: everyone hates it. I mean, look at those review scores, not to mention the mocking I received … [Read more...]
Becoming Human – Dork Review
Being Human is now a genuine smash hit for the BBC. It’s been renewed for a fourth series, adapted into a US version and even had a guest appearance from Robson Green. So it’s time for the next consequence of telly success: the spin-off show. Namely Becoming Human, featuring teen vampire Adam, … [Read more...]
