GHOST SHIP. It does what it says on the tin. Lovers of cheap fright-free horror flicks may go a bundle on this one but, like most modern horror movies ?even the ironic, self-referential ones ?it left me rather cold. It’s not that it’s bad, despite what the sniffy genre press may say. It’s just that …
Game Review By Liam O Brien While we all wait for the second part of the continuing adventures of Peter Parker to hit dvd, it? a fine time to grab a copy of Spider-Man II on Playstation 2, X-Box or Game Cube. Following on from a successful first outing in 2002 on the major consoles, …
“Geronimo, Lenin’s pyjamas, tiddlywinks with the Tsarina and now you can see the future? Come on Doctor you are pulling my leg!” Well it finally happened. After months of buying and reviewing 2000ad audio drama’s, and seeing Doctor Who audio’s advertised left right and centre, I decided to buy one to see what all the …
“If I told you the truth, I’d have to kill you. . .” The anniversary year is really turning out well- the audio’s enter celebratory mode this month with OMEGA, the raft of excellently remastered dvd’s keep on coming, and the format is reworked in great style in the form of the UNBOUND series. Being …
This is actually what I have been waiting for in the Dredd audio series, the start of a story arc. However I don’t know if this is going to start a true arc or just be two independent but linked stories. All will be revealed when I listen to Get Karter (sic). Quentin Quail is …
“You’re in the middle of a war between Vampires and Lycan’s. . .” My god THE MATRIX has a lot to answer for. Since its release in 1999, the multiplexes have been flooded with moodily lit, slow mo, slickly filmed actioners. UNDERWORLD is a prime example of the ‘Matrix effect’- black, pvc clad heroine, lots …
And so the madness of king Harry rolls into town again. I must admit I didn’t go and see CHAMBER OF SECRETS at the cinema, after I fell out of love with the idea of the boy wizard in a movie following the pace-less dross that was the first film. I took me a while …
I’m always wary of big-budget, high-profile Hollywood blockbusters which come out in February or March. Aren’t they good enough to be trusted in the summer melee? Do the studios push them out when the cineplexes are jaded and still full of tired Christmas extravaganzas hoping that bored audiences will try a film they might not …

Bounty Hunters are a popular affair, probably spawned by the Fetts of Star Wars, but it is good to see the transfer of 2000ADs Strontium Dog to Audio. The Galactic Crime Commission finds one job too dirty for them, Bounty Hunting, GCC lets the Strontium Dog’s (Mutants from a strontium fallout) do this. One such …
