  • The Expanse

    ,

    I mentioned earlier this year how I keep checking in on new sci-fi shows, hoping to finally get something that I really want to watch, and so far I keep getting disappointed after a couple of episodes. My latest attempt at watching a new sci-fi series is The Expanse, which at least has the pedigree…

  • Luther

    Always good to have Luther back for another go. I’m not sure if this fourth season is going to be 2 or 3 episodes long, but I’ll take whatever I can get. After watching the first episode, at first I didn’t like how it was taking too much time dealing with Alice, which I thought…

  • Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

    —

    ,

    So here’s the second spy movie I see this year that is about losing trust from the people you work for, while you uncover an evil shadowy organization that is looking to destabilize the world. It really is eery how Rogue Nation follows the same basic blueprint as SPECTRE (and vice versa), but it didn’t…

  • Ex Machina

    —

    ,

    This is one of those movies that I’ve been meaning to watch all year – felt so much like something I’d really enjoy. What a fantastic little story, told in a delicate, if somewhat claustrophobic way, with great performances from everyone. When you see a movie get so much praise, it often leads to disappointment,…

  • The Force Awakens

    The question is not really how much did I enjoy this movie, but rather, how many times will I go see it in theatres before I’m satisfied. The praise for this film seems pretty much universal – at least from the reactions from my friends I’m seeing on my social media timelines – but yeah,…

  • Favorite Media of 2015

    —

    It’s my annual tradition in December to write up a list of my favorite media that I consumed throughout the year, that was released that year (here’s my 2014 edition). This is a HIGHLY subjective list, and is made up of stuff that I liked the most out of the stuff I got to experience.…

  • Losing Your Edge

    —

    ,

    This is the lost post I referred to recently, which to my surprise suddenly popped up again in my draft folder, and so I’ve decided to share it as is, along with a little update at the end. The Magaziner returns. Sorta. In recent weeks, I’ve been feeling the itch to bring back The Magaziner…

  • Sparrow Racing League

    —

    ,

    There’s no denying that Destiny has played a huge role in my gaming life this year – it also has the distinction of being the game I’ve played the most, ever (total hours). Sometime in late October I did finally burn out on it – partly in frustration that I wasn’t managing to level up…
