The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot - Review

So, with no classic Doctors in the 50th (Tom Baker excluded), Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy try and get into The Day of the Doctor themselves, with hilarious consequences. The sketch is so brilliant and funny and entertaining and clever and what a cast!

  • Peter Davison
  • Colin Baker
  • Sylvester McCoy
  • Paul McGann
  • Tom Baker
  • David Tennant
  • Matt Smith
  • Jenna Coleman
  • Steven Moffat
  • Russell T Davies
  • Nicholas Briggs
  • Frank Skinner
  • Georgia Moffet (Tennant)
  • Sean Pertwee
  • Olivia Coleman
  • Peter Jackson
  • Sir Ian McKellen
  • John Barrowman
  • And MORE!
This shows genuine dedication from all involved and the whole thing, although made with a budget of two pence looks better because it doesn't do anything it can't do. Sylvester McCoy abandoning Peter Jackson and Sir Ian McKellen on the set of The Hobbit? Done. The Doctors nicking their coats from the Doctor Who Experience? Done. It's even partly filmed at the Doctor Who production studios!
I would love to see more of these but this at least was sheer perfection and the jokes were hilarious, from music gags to the cameo appearances to Steven Moffat's phone saying "Doctors deleted" to Tom Baker's appearance and answer pone message. Brilliant and I implore you watch it. 10/10

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - Movie Review

Image
The Mission: Impossible franchise has experienced a mixed reception across its four prior installments, with the most popular being 2011's Ghost Protocol. I'm not entirely with the series, only that its pretty much Tom Cruise and co pulling off dangerous missions with some cool action and a catchy theme music, although I did end up watching Ghost Protocol one random night. Despite this, I have very little recollection of the actual film, and it obviously didn't leave much of an impression on me. Suffice it to say though that Rogue Nation is the first Mission: Impossible film I saw the trailer for, liked the look of and went to the cinema to see it, and my expectations were pretty reasonable - cool action, good stunts and an entertaining watch. I guess I got what I expected. The story follows the disassembling of the IMF, while Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is pursuing The Syndicate - a rogue nation that causes havoc across the world. Hunt teams up once again with Benjamin Dun

Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor (2022) - Review

And with that, the Thirteenth Doctor's era has come to a close. It's easy for regeneration stories to be overshadowed by the programme's future - understandable given the show's constant change and renewal - but suffice it to say that The Power of the Doctor makes for a fitting conclusion to this era of the programme. Kicking things off with a heist on a space train, we're reintroduced to the Cybermasters, returning from The Timeless Children back in Series 12. It's good to see them return, even if their ultimate roles in the narrative serve mainly as cannon fodder more than anything else. Their Cyber-converted planet, which I'd speculated to Gallifrey, was a nice idea even if it served as a backdrop to the events unfolding rather than playing a significant role. Quite why Ashad and his Cyber Warriors were brought back, other than fan popularity, I'm not sure. An off-hand comment about the Master cloning Ashad doesn't quite resolve the character'

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - Review

The phrase "I'm shook" springs to mind. Ten years after Marvel Studios released their first independent motion picture ' Iron Man ', the studio brings together (almost) all of their superhero characters into one enormous event film - ' Avengers: Infinity War '. Bursting at the seams with characters, ongoing arcs and a narrative sprawling across space, can the team behind ' Captain America: The Winter Soldier ' and ' Captain America: Civil War ' pull it off? Short answer: no, of course they can't. But they do a pretty great job trying. ' Avengers: Infinity War ' is a film perhaps lacking in character development all round, so much so that many characters feel like special guest stars in a film focused on bringing everything together. If there is a main character here, it's Thanos - played via motion-capture by Josh Brolin - on his journey to find all of the Infinity stones. The Russo brothers have compared this to a h
