With many prequels failing the expectations of viewers, I’ve tried to go into a prequel not expecting a single thing. X-Men: First Class however, magnified what little expectations I did have and blew them out into space. This movie was an entertaining, slick and enjoyable watch. It traces the roots of the characters we’ve already … Continue reading Review – X Men: First Class

My relationship with sci-fi
Let me start with showing you an image. The following photograph is of the most awesome Spock poster I found at Forbidden Planet (the best sci-fi store I have ever come across. EVER.) a month ago and is now carefully tacked up on the wall behind my bed. In case you can't figure it out, Spock's … Continue reading My relationship with sci-fi
