The Avengers: Age of Ultron – Film Preview
A week earlier than planned (due to a low-res leak on YouTube which made Marvel decide to put it up in HD), and to the utter delight of an entire fandom, the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer has hit the internet. As you'd expect, it's a whopper, with explosions, drama and an incredibly unnerving … [Read more...]

TARDISnail Vs 2Dis – Doctor Who: Flatline Review
This week on Doctor Who: we're on a council estate, running away from mysterious monsters with the help of plucky locals and silly humour!

Marvel’s Daredevil – your next Netflix obsession
Despite the fact that it's still some time away, 2015 has already been hailed as The Most Epic Film Year EVER (I feel like I should trademark that...) .

The Doctor gets a thorough dressing down from Clara in an episode that passes all the Bechdel/Mako Mori tests. First an apology. I totally failed to review last week's episode.

Doctor Who hits his stride in Time Heist caper
Another doozie from the Twelfth Doctor as the series continues to keep form and the Doctor has started to bed in nicely. Yep, I'm sold. I know my quality control levels are set to 'over-enthusiastic fan-girl' when it comes to Doctor Who, but I really am loving this series. Even my other half, who … [Read more...]
