Edge of Tomorrow
A sci-fi action film doomed to be repetitive by the very nature of its concept proves to be an exciting and intriguing adventure instead.

Games
Wolfenstein: The New Order
It looks good, plays great and best of all, has bit of everything that makes video games fun… including Nazi mechs.
Movies
Robocop
A slightly different PG13 approach to the original content, Robocop is enjoyable enough, but feels like it could have been so much more with a bit of polish.
Movies
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
This prequel sequel of the classic film franchise serves up a sci-fi action thriller with unparalleled visual effects and deeply intense performances… especially from the apes.
Movies
Grudge Match
Two long time retired boxing rivals are brought out of retirement for one last bout to settle scores, debt and doubts.
Movies
The Monuments Men
An unlikely group of soldiers are tasked with tracking down and returning master art works stolen by the Nazis during world war 2.
Movies
Transformers: Age of Extinction
Checks all the summer blockbuster boxes but doesn’t bring anything new. It’s another Transformers movie, and that really just about sums it up.
Games
Murdered: Soul Suspect
Technically competent with an intriguing story, but sold short by unimaginative and unchallenging gameplay, and a measured pace that some may find off-putting.
Movies
We’re The Millers
We’re The Millers is a great adult comedy about people who don’t like each other being forced to act like the perfect family in order to smuggle some dope, and it’s dope.
Games
Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate
If you are hoping for more of that Arkham experience you are unfortunately not going to find it here. Arkham Origins: Blackgate falls heartbreakingly short of measuring up to what we have come to expect from the Arkham titles. While the idea has massive potential I cannot recommend it.
Movies
The Intouchables
A very wealthy Parisian quadriplegic finds a new lease on life when he hires a cocky ex-con to be his personal caretaker.
Movies
X-Men: Days of Future Past
If you’re a fan of the X-Men, comic book movies or films about time travel then you won’t be disappointed. If you aren’t… watch it anyway.
Movies
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
It might get a bit lost within itself at times, but ultimately provides a really fun and fantastic way to spend a few hours munching on popcorn.
Games
Infamous Second Son
Infamous brings the fun of wielding unique powers to an open world city and looks gorgeous. It’s good, but it feels like it could have offered more.
Games
Killzone Shadow Fall
Shadow Fall takes the Killzone franchise into the next generation with a pretty, but painfully generic shooter experience.
Movies
Ip Man
Ip Man is a master piece within its genre, if you’ve never really been exposed to Kung Fu cinema, this is a good place to start. If you’re a veteran, order the Blu-Ray.
Movies
Pain and Gain
A ‘based on actual events’ dark humour/crime drama on steroids, Pain and Gain has a solid foundation in its plot and is well paired with Director Michael Bay’s over the top directorial style.
Movies
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
A good sequel, with more good looking people (and an old lady) in a more challenging game with much more at stake. If you liked the first film you cannot miss this.
Games
Desktop Dungeons
While Desktop Dungeons may boast its ability to give you a quick dash of fun, beware… because minutes very quickly turn into hours.
Movies
Battle Royale
Move over Hollywood. If it’s a real children-in-a-battle-to-the-death experience that you are looking for, you have to look elsewhere, and Japan is more than happy to serve it up like their sushi… cold and raw.
Games
Metro: Last Light
Metro: Last Light combines the best parts of stealth and action to take you into an intriguing post-apocalyptic Russian setting that feels part Half-Life and part Fallout… and that can’t be so bad.
