Cast your eyes above for me. See that mean looking dude? That is Cole MacGrath from 2009’s Infamous on PlayStation 3! Pretty badass huh? Well, the folks at Sucker Punch Productions obviously didn’t think so. They have decided to completely revamp the character, in both looks and voice, for the sequel. Suffice to say, I think this is a pretty bad idea…

It is not a very well kept secret that I am a huge fan of all things French cinema. My interest started on the somewhat lighter end of the scale with an early appreciation of Luc Besson (Leon, The Fifth Element), before blossoming in my later years into an active appreciation of directors such as Olivier Marchal (36 Quai des Orfèvres) and Guillaume Canet (Tell No One). Le père de mes enfants is my latest foray into this wonderful country’s cinematic output. Released over here in the UK as Father Of My Children, this is the film that rewrites the rulebook on how to deal with loss, tragedy and hope on the big screen.

Optimum Home Entertainment have just released a special Limited Deluxe Edition (+ DVD copy) of Studio Ghibli’s most recent masterpiece, Ponyo, on Blu-ray. I reviewed the film for AMO when it was originally in the cinema, so I wasn’t planning to review the home release when it arrived. However, once I got my hands on this Limited Deluxe Edition I knew I would have to share my thoughts on this delightful set with as many people as I possibly could!

A few months ago I was lucky enough to be contacted by a Senior Press Officer from Headline, who offered me a review copy of a new anthology of short stories complied and edited by bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity, I mean who wouldn’t?! However, it was always at the back of my mind that reviewing a collection of stories featuring 27 different authors would be a huge undertaking as a reviewer. Luckily, these guys (and gals) have made my job rather easy.
