Reviews Splooge

I've become a bit lax with posting out links to reviews I've written for Starburst recently, so here's a bunch of 'em, along with some slapdash attempts at micro-reviews to get you in the mood:

DVDs/Blurays!

• Murder on the Orient Express - Albert Finney as growly Poirot
• Death on the Nile - Peter Ustinov as ramshackle Poirot
• White Heat - Made it, ma! Top of the world!

Doctor Who Audios

• The Night Witches - the Second Doctor era loves its doppelgänger stories
• A Heart on Both Sides - Eight meets Nyssa, and it's more than just fan service
• The Outliers - this one has a big alien squid thing

Comics

• The Lizard - really really excellent
• Moments of Adventure 2 - swashbuckling larks

Other Stuff

• Space Junk - first episode of a sci-fi web series
• Star Wars Art: 100 Postcards - postcards, but very nice ones

Starburst 442 - Out Now!

The latest issue of STARBURST Magazine has hit the shops, like Batman might hit an unarmed old woman in one of these dark Zack Snyder takes on your favourite comic book 'heroes'. That's relevant, because it's a Justice League-themed issue.

What you're really gonna buy it for, though, is the feature in which I wank over how great the Coen brothers are for four whole pages. It's a good one. If you like that kind of thing.

Also: my Doctor Who news column, my review of Accent UK's excellent new comic The Lizard, and a letter complaining about my ignorance of 1980s computer culture. You get it all in STARBURST.

Buy it in stores or online!
