The Matrix Resurrections

A clearly argued essay on why the fourth film in The Matrix franchise is the best one yet. I’m joking of course…

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote / The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith / The Castle by Franz Kafka

Horizon Forbidden West is the sequel to the wonderful Horizon Zero Dawn and the reason I bought a PS5. Here’s a spoiler-free look at the new game.

A ramble about a dozen or so shows I have watched on TV this year so far. Some bad, some good, and some truly marvellous.

The Power of the Dog / Emma. / The Missing / The King’s Man / Greed

Dashiel Hammet – The Thin Man / Ursula K. Le Guin – The Lathe of Heaven / Andrey Kurkov – Penguin Lost

The Suicide Squad / Don’t Look Up / Encanto / Together / Doolittle / Eternals / Cats / the Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard

In this post I list some of the best TV comedy shows I have enjoyed this year (as opposed to the serious stuff – that’s in another post).
