It’s been 10 years since Tom Holland stepped into the role of Spider-Man. And it’s been almost 5 years since his third feature film, No Way Home. It’s fitting then, they’re the first Marvel character to get 4 films within the MCU (I’m not including Cap as the role changed). …

Motorola Edge 70 Review The Motorola Edge 70 is a pretty slick bit of kit. It’s a genuinely thin, comfortable phone that’s great for everyday use, but it’s not quite the all-round killer some of the marketing would have you believe. It’s well executed and interesting, but a few drawbacks …

I am an IMAX seat protestor. Specifically the Auckland IMAX cinema. New Zealand’s true 1:43:1 format IMAX cinema has the worst seats. I know the location hasn’t really found its legs again, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t deserve better. Especially when Christopher Nolan has made the first feature …

Ghost of Tsushima was one of the best things that happened in 2020. You know, nothing famously monumental happened that year. Oh, the PlayStation 5 was released too! So that was pretty huge. Yeah. 2020. Just another year, some would say. Nic and I got a nice photo together too. …

Whiplash Now I know you have two questions. Yes, you read the title correctly, and no, you haven’t been warped back in time 20 years. Motorola cellphones are still a thing with the Moto G series. Motorola’s latest budget bangers have landed in NZ, and I’ve been putting them through …
