A couple of bits from me have gone up on Den of Geek recently, so I thought I’d do a quick round-up:

Tron Legacy Review – I recently had the fortune (good or terrible, depending on your perspective) to see Tron Legacy’s first UK showing, on the IMAX screen in Waterloo. Subsequently, I did a spoiler-free review of the film for Den of Geek. It’s fair to say that I liked it a lot more that most people, although I acknowledge its flaws, and cannot even defend it against many of them. If you do what I did, and approach it as a two-hour Daft Punk video first and a movie second, you’ll get along with it great.

Dave Gorman Stand Up Live DVD Review -  As a big fan of Dave Gorman’s work, I was looking forward to this, but it’s fair to say that this review is not filled with unreserved praise. I might just be too much of a comedy snob to enjoy straight stand-up anymore, but hey, the site’s called “Den of Geek”, not “Den of General Audience”. Short version: Gorman’s complete command of the stage props up otherwise weak material. There’s a lovely 20-30 minute set in there, but a 90-minute stand-up show? Sadly, not enough going on.

Also, just so you don’t think I was massively slacking over the last month or two, over on Alternate Cover, my co-owned comics blog, I did a “30 Days of Comics” meme, picking out 30 comics/graphic novels that have a special relevance or interest to me and writing about them. Seb’s doing his own 30 posts now, but you can find all of mine linked from the index post if you’re so inclined.
