Are you the sort of person who likes reading what other people think about a movie or album or book?
This is a collection of all the reviews conducted on The Blender.
Fair Trade
All Pokémon are equal, but some Pokémon are more equal than others. There’s nothing Orwellian about Pokémon X/Y’s new ‘Wonder Trade’ feature.
Review For Two – Catching Fire
Hugh and Jess discuss the latest Hunger Games instalment. The fashion! The romance! The baboons!
Music Review – Fat Freddy’s Drop; An Album Described with Dishes of Food.
I wanted to conceptualise this album with dishes of food as most people aren’t that acquainted with dub, yet everyone can enjoy a meal that leaves you in awe of its taste. So let’s start eating…
Review – Lego Marvel Super Heroes
Want to free play as a superhero? Strap on the spandex and play Lego Marvel Super Heroes.
Review – Stick It
If you haven’t seen it yet, say STICK IT to whatever else you had planned and watch this gym-nasty movie right now.
Why I love Wildstar
You had me at “rotting space zombie inter-dimensional cowboy.”
Review – Enough Said
Can enough ever really be said about any film, ever?
Review – One Chance
If you want to see love in action, this film delivers by the Opera load.
Music Review – Evo-Cactus, “A Journey Through the Garden of Eden”
One aspect of an instrumental album that I anticipate is the way that the music alone has to capture you. Nothing else. You as an artist don’t have the ability to substitute lyrics and vocal hooks for instrumentation that isn’t engaging.
Review – The Counselor
“Sin is a choice,” reads the tagline of Cormac McCarthy’s latest film. I’d say it’s more of a calling.
Mem Fox. You’re doing it right.
Our Mem Fox preaches love, not hate.
Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP, but is it good pop art?
Lady Gaga’s long awaited follow up to 2011’s Born This Way has been unleashed upon the world, and much to the delight of ‘Lil Monsters’ everywhere, ARTPOP is in keeping with Gaga’s direction. And that direction is weird. Very weird.
Why I Will Never Be The “Perfect” Girl
I have had my entire being and existence summed up in one incredibly accurate Television Show.
Review – Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
“Leave her Johnny, leave her…” Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag is impossible to leave. I pulled myself away to bring you this review.
Montagues and Capulets
Two consoles, both alike in dignity. And just days from their release, I’m still no closer to deciding between them.
Bah! Humbug
Morbidity, some miserly hand-wringing, and why Lost Girl is my new favourite show.
Review – Gravity
Or, more specifically, a distinct lack of it.
Faceless Friends
I see you, gorgeous lurker-things. Come out and say hello.
Review – About Time
Richard Curtis woos me as only a mastermind British writer can… with underlying comedic genius!
Review – Beyond: Two Souls
With bonus extended rambling introduction.
Dinorama – Free App Of The Week
When struck down with an earache, sore throat and temperature, I did what any iPhone owner would do… downloaded a game.
Here’s the review of Dinorama, Free App of the Week.
Review – What Maisie Knew
Far more than any seven-year-old should.
First Look – Masters of Sex
Showtime’s new drama takes a long hard look between the sheets. For science, of course.
First Look – Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
S.H.I.E.L.D opens with an ordinary dad climbing up a burning building and saving people’s lives, no equipment needed. The sheer epicness that Marvel comfortably owns is breathed to life for the small screen… and I’m loving it.
