Google Glass: The future, or a future pain in the arse?

Google Glass is essentially magic, and innovation is a good thing. Advances in science and technology move humans forward, for the most part. Even the most innocuous invention can have a huge impact, if not immediately, then perhaps somewhere down the line.

But that doesn't mean everyone has to like it. A restaurant in Seattle has caused a bit of furor by banning them before they're even available on the mass-market.

Gravity - Film Review

Gravity has been out in the US for weeks. Everyone on the other side of the Atlantic loves it, pretty much without exception. It isn't out in the UK until November 8th. I got to see it because I'm a jammy sod who responds to emails quicker than others. 

Banshee Chapter - First trailer and Interview

Here's the trailer for new horror film 'The Banshee Chapter', produced by Zachary Quinto's company Before The Door Pictures. You know, Spock in Star Trek. That guy.

They Are Making Sharknado 2: Shark Booglaoo

You probably haven't even seen the first one yet (you canread our review here), but SyFy have ordered a second in the wacky disaster series. That's right, the world's foremost channel for Syence Fyction want another 80-90 minutes of Shark/Weather madness.

Personally, I think one was enough. It was ridiculous and pretty funny but also absolutely terrible. It was the perfect mix of good and bad. Wondawful. But can a second one match that? Unlikely.

Pixar Break Grown Man’s Heart

A few weeks ago I saw an article on 'another' website and they had a thing where a journalist went off to Pixar Studios for a wander around. It looked like a bloody lovely place, full of dreams and wonder and those little aliens off of Toy Story.

Sharknado - Film Review and Epic Scene.

I'm not sure where to start with this review of SyFy Channel's newest production. Do I tell you it's terrible, which it is, or do I tell you that it's amazing, which it ALSO is?

Or do I tell you to go around your house locating and burning every book on science and nature that you can find before you watch it? Because not a word in any of those will apply to Sharknado.

The basic gist of the film is that a tornado out at sea fills with water. And also sharks. The tornado then moves inland, carrying the sharks with it. Exactly what these hundreds of sharks were up to off the coast of LA isn't addressed, because that'd take time away from the main spectacle of sharks shaking loose their tornado coils and wreaking big-toothed havoc on a whole bunch of people. They land in swimming pools, flooded houses and even, in one scene, on the roof of a car. Obviously the shark bites through the metal to attack the passengers. Why wouldn't it?

Pacific Rim - Review

Let me tell you something about me. I bloody love giant monsters. I love giant monsters from space. 





I doubly love giant sea monsters. Pacific Rim has giant sea monsters that also happen to be, sort of, from space. Prepare yourselves for a gushing review.
