A dark, depressing and morbid classic with an unexpected amount of heart, nuance, and finesse. Wonderfully crafted and utterly riveting, even whilst it kicks your hopes and dreams to shreds.

A surprisingly modern parody that feels in more in line with British fare like Monty Python than contemporary American humour, and that's definitely a positive thing.

A completely mindless yet enjoyable romp; if only the tricks were real.

An at times terrifying and macabre tale with nuanced and likeable characterisation and a great, descriptive writing style. At once both a book that aims too low in its intended target audience and wildly overshoots it.

Interesting Western with good characters, a competent plot and some very off formatting choices and narrative gimmicks. Distinctly meh.

A solid entry to the Baker Street archives and a very enjoyable mystery.

Nope. Terrible. Awful. Imbecilic. Nuking the god damn White House would actually be more believable than this plotline. And much more effective!

The greatest rock-infused-jousting-medieval-meta-analysis-of-class-structure movie ever made, with one of my all-time favourite casts. I'm a fan. Can you tell?

A surprisingly complex and fun, fast-paced multiplayer game with great physics and deep mechanics, let down by a terrible matchmaking system

There's nothing inherently bad about Early Man but it also failed to excite or enthral. If you're a huge Aardman fan or football nut, maybe you'll have a different experience.

Beautifully animated, scripted and developed synopsis of who Batman, Gordon and, indeed, Gotham actually are. A fantastic retread of the character, with Bryan Cranston to boot!

Occasionally depressing but beautifully acted and written, a Holmes mystery that takes aim at something deeper and far more powerful than the normal murder and logic puzzles: the riddle of human emotions.
