This is one of my few film reviews that is actually topical, so it's worth noting here that this contains major spoilers for Joker and I would recommend watching that film before reading this. Ok, so this is an interesting one. It’s worth prefacing a few things. The first is that in terms of comic books, …
This post contains spoilers for Eyes Wide Shut, and I would recommend watching that before reading. In my last two posts on film, I’ve looked at films centred around romance, and their differing takes on it. Pale Flower and Phantom Thread both square their aim onto troubled relationships and aim to try and find the beauty …

This is the sixth in a series of Ace Attorney reviews and I recommend reading the others before this. This post will contain spoilers for Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Path and all the games preceding it. Thanks for reading!

This is the fourth in a series of reviews on the Ace Attorney series, and I recommend reading the others before this. This post will contain spoilers for Apollo Justice and all the games preceding it. Thanks for reading! If Ace Attorney is said to have a controversial entry, I think Apollo Justice is that entry.

I'd suggest watching Pale Flower before reading this. The film was released on the Criterion Collection, but you might be able to find it elsewhere. So, admittedly this one is a bit odd. I tend to write about a set number of subjects on this blog that I don’t really deviate from; JRPGs, Ace Attorney and …

And finally, we come to the games. I’m going to be brutally honest here; I don’t think this was a particularly great year for games. When I look back at the games I played the most, they were almost all either ports or games that came out a while ago. I finally started playing the …
