Bad Korea move. Ten years from now, no one’s going to remember anything about this fluffy stew of bro-comedy idiocy apart from all the cybermayhem caused by protesting hackers. Was it worth their trouble? Of course not. The Interview is the spawn of the same crew who brought us Pineapple …

I don’t get many chances to bust out the phrase mise-en-scene in a video game review without sounding like a pretentious asshole, so I’m going to take the opportunity here. It’s a French term used in film to encompass the art of environmental storytelling – and it’s something Grim Fandango …

Mills and boom “You’re always saying I’m so predictable!” Liam Neeson tells Maggie Grace at the beginning of this third and probably final vehicle for the indomitable Bryan Mills, he of the intimidating phone manner and very particular set of skills. “I wanted to shake it up a bit!” Alas, …

YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER Despite being 12A, James Watkins’ smash-hit Hammer horror The Woman In Black turned the fear factor up to 11, becoming the BBFC’s most complained-about film of 2012. Based on Susan Hill’s 1983 novella, and a successful stage adap, it was canny “boo!” cinema …

I’ve just got back from a two-week road trip around America, and boy, have I done a lot of driving. I’ve seen Niagara Falls, driven across the Golden Gate Bridge and sped through Time Square. I’ve dodged bears in Sasquatch country and I’ve chased after foxes in the snow. And …

Being welcomed back to the world of LittleBigPlanet 3 by the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry is a little bit like sinking into a warm bath of – probably Earl Grey scented – PlayStation charm. And there it is already. The offensive ‘c’ word. Well at least now it’s out …

Poor Sonic. He’s just a hyper-speed hedgehog stuck with a permanent 1990’s rude ‘tude, trying to make it in the modern world. It doesn’t help that he ends up starring in a lot of games that aren’t tailor made for him, like Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal for the 3DS. It …

In thousands of years’ time, after some Great Event that probably happens and buries us all under metres of dust, future archaeologists will dig us up, and what will they find? Amongst the rubble, bones, and Nokia 3310s, our legacy will be billions upon billions of Lego bricks, a remnant …
