It’s been a long time since I took a look at the Your Spectrum magazines (as explained in my first post about old Spectrum mags). But the new Spectrum Next computer is nearing launch, so I thought I would catch up with the remaining mags…
You’re getting ready for your next big games night… You’ve got friends wanting to come, you’ve got your snacks sorted, your drinks, you even made a cool music playlist. What else do you need? Games, right? And we’re not just talking about Monopoly either. I…
I continue my deep-dive rewatch of the Fast and Furious films with Tokyo Drift. And this is where the chronological order becomes interesting. I’m not watching this as the third film in the series. I’m watching this as the seventh. And I have already seen Han in three…

James Bond, the fictional British Secret Service agent that has featured in 12 novels and two short-story collections by Ian Fleming, an additional eight novels by other authors and transformed to the silver screen in soon-to-be 25 movies. Played by Sean Connery, David Niven, George…
After watching the short film Los Bandoleros, I’m now moving on to the next feature film in the Fast and Furious franchise which is confusingly called ‘Fast & Furious’. This is the one film from the whole series that I really couldn’t remember much about…
