Ramblings of the Easily Distracted. Friday, January 30, 2015. DVD of the Week: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The blurring of fantasy and reality is - or at least should.

Ramblings of the Easily Distracted. Monday, July 27, 2015. Movie Review: Inside Out. Sometimes the critical world generates a negative consensus around a show, or production company that can get quite annoying in its unwarrented persistance. Ill probably rant about this a bit when I come to write up True Detective. But it also swirls around the idea of peak Marvel, or the Doctor Who,. Or countless other examples. Another recent recipient of the old oh its lost the plot now! And yes, Brave. Games Review:...

Ramblings of the Easily Distracted. Thursday, July 31, 2014. The latest outbreak seemed to be sparked by Marvels announcement that the next Thor would be a woman, and the next Captain America would be a black guy, but San Diego Comic Con, and its array of white-guy leading roles let it all simmer along too. Like everyone else, it seems, I have opinions, although theyre somewhat contradictory in places, which makes them ill-suited for 140 characters or less. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. DVD of the Week: Her.
