As we race towards next week’s season finale, it’s interesting to reflect on this season of Doctor Who as a whole. The Story & the Engine is definitely a favourite from this run, while The Well is a nice horror piece that works much better than it arguably should (given its sequel status). The season opened with The Robot Revolution and Lux: two fun adventures that felt a bit too familiar to really stand out.

Welcome back to my build for the Hachette Partworks 1:8 scale model of the Batman Tumbler! We rumble ever closer to the latter stages of this bulky, beautiful beast – and now we’re finally starting to get into actual electronic movement, and it’s quite exciting. As you’ll see from my shots below, the various shape of our Tumbler is coming together and I wish we could get it all done together, but I’m enjoying the process now.

Alongside my appreciation for fantastic film things, I have a deep love for music of all varieties – and not just movie scores, – although head here for some stunners as I also reviewed some must-have vinyl – and it’s been exciting to see the resurgence of the record, and it’s heroically competing with digital streaming right across the board, with some huge vinyl sales reported in the past year or two.

Eurovision meets Die Hard in this week’s episode of Doctor Who, touted as the most expensive single episode of the series to date. It’s appropriately timed as well, being broadcast on the day of the Eurovision final. For people who are both Eurovision and Doctor Who fans, this could be their favourite night of the year; but for the Doctor and Belinda, this may prove to be one particularly challenging adventure.

The Mission: Impossible films have spun thirty years and eight films but there is truly only one Tom Cruise at the centre of every single mission (should he choose to accept it, and he seemingly always does).

It may be the final Mission: Impossible film leaping into cinemas shortly, now is as good a time as any to get your M:I Movie Marathon on and delve back into the excellent franchise, and what better than the combination of all 7 previous movies, including Dead Reckoning, and the aptly named, Mission: Impossible 6-Movie Collection on Blu-ray!

Resurrections aren’t really a thing in the world of the Final Destination franchise – once you’re dead (usually as a result of some gory freak accident), you stay dead. Very dead. That same ethos seemed to apply to the franchise itself, long dormant since 2011’s Final Destination 5, but now it’s back from beyond the grave in Final Destination: Bloodlines.
