Warming Up Slowly TVN’s new weekend drama Melting Me Softly is a bit of a mixed bag. Focusing more on drama but interwoven with elements of science fiction too, Melting Me Softly has an interesting premise but right now, the execution is a little haphazard. Whether this new show will reach the same success as Hotel Del Luna or Arthdal Chronicles remains to be seen but right now that looks like a bit of a stretch to reach those heights....

Penultimate Problems The penultimate episode to Melting Me Softly is here and it certainly didn’t disappoint, setting things up nicely for the finale tomorrow with quite the cliffhanger surrounding Mi-Ran’s fate.

We start the episode where we left off from before, with the killer approaching Mi-Ran....

Just like the batty Isle Of Man detective show with the same name, Mindhorn is hilariously bad. Its nonsensical plot has some serious holes and there are several sub plots that never really go anywhere but strangely, this doesn’t detract too much from the fact that Mindhorn is a funny film. As a British comedy, its not at the same heights as say Shaun Of The Dead or Hot Fuzz but it has enough jokes spread throughout its 85 minute length to almost overlook its jarring plot issues....

Toasty! With the exception of a few, almost every video-game adapted movie has fallen flat on its face. Whether it be Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros or Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider, only the rate exceptions have managed to stand the test of time. In more recent years Tomb Raider (the reboot) and Detective Pikachu have done well, but it’s 1995’s Mortal Kombat that somehow retains its place at the top....
