Venom
I am not sure what to make of this film, its not a badly made movie, its just that i cannot help but feel that it was trying to be one things but ended up either short of the original target or something completely different.As I write this i have not seen the other venom […]
Australian Pink Floyd
Finally after months of waiting the day has arrived when i go to see what has been called ‘the best tribute band in the world’….. ….. and boy they did not disappoint. From the very start the whole band were pretty much pitch and note perfect. The 1st section of the show they ran through […]
New Kid with A Breadbox (Case, October 1998) revised 2018
When I first wrote the following article some 20 years ago, the c64 should have been in its swan-song era, the Amiga was the machine to have and people were migrating in droves, myself included.

The Predator
This is my review of the new Shane black movie “The Predator”. I will be honest and say that I was a little skeptical of how this was going to play out given some of the recent reboot movies that have come out. I am glad to say that this one is not a reboot, […]
X – Marks the Spot
“Oh the irony, a demo from G*P themed around pirates” This demo was created and released at X’18 (where it finished 4th), it is a clever play on the theme of pirates and also the name of the demo party. The demo starts with a picture of Black Beard and one on his quotes and […]
Ready Player One
Ready player one tells the story of a not so distant future where society has crumbled and most people now live in what are called stacks (they look like caravans on top of each other, hence the name). A virtual reality has been created where most people spend their time playing video games this is […]
