Posted on October 12, 2017 by Fraser

Killjoys: A Quick Review

Posted on August 7, 2017 by Fraser

I’m on episode three of season one of Killjoys, a Syfy original about interplanetary bounty hunters. It’s interplanetary rather than interstellar because these bounty hunters work a collection of four planets known as the Quad or the J Colonies. It’s … Continue reading →

Logan: A Review

Posted on May 3, 2017 by Fraser

Thanks to the wonders of repertory cinemas, I had a chance to see Logan last week. It seems this was good karma for helping a friend in need, and it was more than an adequate reward. I’ve been a Wolverine … Continue reading →

Hard West

Posted on April 16, 2017 by Fraser

Since I have put my master’s program on pause, I’ve had some time to play some computer games, and an interesting one that I’ve just started is Hard West. Now, being a PC player, I don’t have access to Red … Continue reading →
