After eleven years, Toy Story returns! Of course, the original films were fantastic, genuine modern classics. Not only that, they launched the current era of animated movies, by proving that computer-generated characters had feelings too. So a little bit of pressure existed on Pixar for this … [Read more...]

Sherlock – The Blind Banker: Dork Review
After the first episode of Sherlock, audience reaction was hysterical. Twitter had an orgasm and reviewers spilled so much praise onto their keyboards that they exploded in a shower of plastic. (Seriously, I’ve only just picked the S key out of my hair.) So perhaps it was inevitable that when the … [Read more...]
Scott Pilgrim – The Comics: Dork Review
Scott Pilgrim, the Canadian-manga series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, has been the independent comics success story of recent years. From the first volume in 2004, momentum has steadily built until the sixth and last book in the series was released to an eager public last week. Midnight openings, huge … [Read more...]
3D TV: The Future Of Home Entertainment?
Cinemas have been offering three dimensional viewing for some time now, so it was inevitable that our living rooms would follow suit. After all, with more and more movies filmed for 3D, eventually the DVD buyer starts to feel they’re missing something. I imagine I’ll own a 3D set one day. So when … [Read more...]
Shrek Forever After: Dork Review
Although Shrek has become a critical whipping boy over the course of its sequels, you can’t discount its success. Four high-grossing films, and a Puss In Boots spin-off next year, or so Wikipedia informs me. Even the mighty Pixar haven’t yet managed a franchise with this much sheer volume. But … [Read more...]
Sherlock – A Study In Pink: Dork Review
After a long wait, Sherlock bounds onto BBC1 to solve mysteries and seem quirky. Although devoid of aliens or goblins, it has attracted the geek eye due largely to co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, both writers on the all-conquering Doctor Who. The first episode, written by Moffat, has … [Read more...]
Inception: Dork Review
There are enough positive reviews of Inception on the internet for me to wallpaper my house, without having to re-use a single one. By the time I finally saw this universally acclaimed modern classic, I somewhat wanted to hate it. I thought it might make this post more interesting for the reader, … [Read more...]
The Guild, Season 4: Dork Review
With relatively little dork-friendly television on the conventional airwaves, it makes perfect sense to turn to the internet. After all, it’s The Future. And as luck would have it, hugely successful web television series The Guild has just started its fourth season. Released online in weekly … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Misfits Series One
A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that E4 will be producing a Christmas special of Misfits, their 2009 series about young offenders with super-powers. This reminded me that I never actually watched it when originally broadcast. Helpfully, the entire series is available on the Channel 4 On … [Read more...]
The IT Crowd review: Series 4 so far
There isn’t a lot of ‘proper’ geek TV on at the moment, as our Editor bemoaned in a recent post. Many might take this as a sign to run for their DVD stacks, but there is one show which aims for the dork audience, but some forget because it’s a mere sitcom: The IT Crowd. The new batch is half over … [Read more...]
