Is there anything left to be written about Doctor Who ? Sometimes, nowadays, one wonders. But A History Of The Universe… proves that if you can find an unusual angle to come at it from you can still produce something hugely entertaining, which feels fresh even when it’s covering old …

Liberal Arts is a comedy. But when a movie opens with a quote from Ecclesiastes , you’d be forgiven for expecting a brow-furrowing drama laden with hefty intentions… How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor’s second movie as writer/director/actor (after 2010’s Happythankyoumoreplease ) is a cute, funny indie charmer, …

Indescribable. It’s not the most useful word for a film review, but Leos Carax’s return to directing frequently defies description.

Your controller should beware, because things are going to get a little nasty. Thanks to the introduction of True Performance Skating in NHL 13, most of the tactics for success you’ve used the past few years won’t work anymore. While the controls are the same–move with the left stick, shoot …

• A very silly, fast-paced, but amusing romp. Kind of like how “The Curse Of The Black Spot” should have been, but wasn’t. The story may not be the greatest ever, but it absolutely nails the correct tone. • Although it may be a little too fast-paced to begin with. …

We’ve all told little white lies, right? Harmless enough, we think. Until the moment when the lie turns round and severely bites us on the arse. Sepideh (Golshifteh Farahani) tells lies. Not maliciously; she’s charming and vivacious, and she wants things to be nice for her and her friends. And …

The core elements of the Counter-Strike series haven’t changed much since the original Half-Life mod emerged in 1999. That trend continues with the newest update, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, for better and worse.
