You know you’re watching an indie film when it starts with a deep and meaningful monologue by apubescent teenager – not forgetting the Belle & Sebastian-inspired soundtrack and sunspots overthe New York landscape. But, add in adorably quirky characters (namely Charlie And The Chocolate Factory’s Freddie Highmore) and a handful of laugh-out-loud moments and it’s [...]

1hr 15 minutes of stale entertainment is what I endured last night watching this show, for a numberof valid reasons I and a few others agree it’s time to call it a day with its yearly occupation on ITV1. All faith is lost in the cause of this show, we are aware that its weekly [...]

August 9th – usually around this time we would be tuning in to 24 hour footage of a group of misfits trying to get attention through anger and volatile behaviour. Funny how things change. With riots happening across the country and the government largely absent it was left to former Big Brother contestant Sam Pepper [...]

Spare a thought for JJ Abrams. When he took on the Star Trek reboot he inherited not only one of the most loved and obsessed over franchises in TV history but became responsible for delivering something that fans had clamoured for for over 30 years – more stories in the Original Series Universe. Star Trek [...]

              Watching the cast and creators of The Big Bang Theory at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con my mind flickered back to the fourth season and its cliff hanger of a finale. It was a good season. With the fourth season came greater emergence of Amy Farrah Fowler and [...]

For a small-ish indie event held at a quiet shopping mall located in an arty district, last weekend’s Comic Art Show 2011 was, by many counts, a success.

Truth be told, there are not that many “Western” comic book fans in Singapore. The group is small in comparison to the anime/ manga fans on the island, but what they lack in numbers, they more than make up for in their passion, in-depth knowledge and earnest support for “Western”-styled comics and their creators.
