You must never be afraid to risk losing everything in the pursuit of the one goal you have always held in your heart, the price is extraordinarily high but the reward of satisfaction will always be worth it, even if it eventually takes you down a road to which you might never recover. Too high a price? Too much jeopardy involved? Nobody said it would be easy, nobody ever said it would be an easy fix, but sometimes wrestling with one’s own conscious is worth all and one that is captured with spirit and generosity of scope in the biggest sports arena of all, the ring.

We are playing dangerous games with the Devil, not the fabled creature who fell foul of a Celestial’s wrath, not the inhabitant of that Church and Bible inspired cess pit of flames and torture but instead our very own devil, our naked ambition, our rape of the land and the unquenchable thirst to dominate our will upon the throne of greed and violation. Our willingness to fracture the land in the pursuit of gas is one that will be an undoing, one in which will unleash a poison unless stopped, and one that audiences will find perfectly ripe for exploiting in a comedy-horror.

When the action on screen is more enjoyable than the overall story; that is the time in which to surrender the plot and just get out of the film what you can. It happens more often than you might think but rarely in such a brazen way in which the reboot of Tomb Raider has foisted upon the world and if it wasn’t for the admittedly spectacular stunts pulled off in part by Alicia Vikander, the whole film could be seen as a dramatic failure, only kept alive by the fandom of the indomitable presence that Lara Croft has had on the games industry across three decades.

Winter is always coming; it just depends on how far you are willing to go in which to protect yourself against the savagery of war that plunges mortal beings into the ways of the warrior. Frost calls and the Huntsmen go in search of more lands to steal; it might not sound like a fairy tale but The Huntsman: Winter’s War is no story in which to consult The Brother’s Grimm over, this is a made up sequel of its own creation.

Ever since Doctor Who was bought back with a blaze of undeniable glory in 2005, the Christmas special has been a much look-forward to event, on the whole it has delivered, sometimes, thankfully not often, it has been a major let down, like finding out there are no roast potatoes on offer at your in-laws house but they spent all year preparing a room full of stinking and putrid sprouts.

The small signs have been there all season, the small nuggets of information that have filtered through should have been heeded. In their place, in one episode across 45 minutes they were easily ignored, a small rip in the fabric that not even the pickiest of fan would care too much to worry about. However as season closers go, it has to be said that Dark Water and Death In Heaven were easily the most frustrating of all since The Twin Dilema saw the beginning of Colin Baker’s era in the blue box in Doctor Who.

Is there nothing that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright cannot put together that isn’t just pure British comedy gold? For the first fifteen minutes of the latest film to come from the warped and surreal imagination of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, The World’s End, it felt as if though the run had finally come to a crashing and disturbing end. Not so much comedy, not so much a film bought together by some of the most talented people around but the sinking feeling that this was more about a pool of writers and actors finally admitting defeat and waving a white flag but making a tedious journey round of jokes concerning the drinking culture of the U.K.
