This Flash Review is of the recent theatrical release of action film (and last in trilogy) Iron Man 3, starring Robert Downey Jr.
“Black has massively upped the verbal sparring and kept the broad inventiveness of comic-book malleability in mind.” – Time Out New York
Like so many others my age, I grew up in the Eighties and Nineties, and more and more in recent times I have dreamt, daydreamed and mused on the ‘good old days’ of my youth.
So as a kind of catharsis, I have decided to put pen to paper and ramble about my memories of that time. First stop…kids TV. Enjoy!
In conjunction with my WIP fantasy novel ‘Three Magic Trees’, I have begun work on a vanity project of mine – an adventure game book in the vein of the classic Fighting Fantasy books of the 80s.
Below is a taster of what I have written so far, for those interested in a nose.
Today’s Flash Review is for the PS3 RPG Ni No Kuni, developed by Level 5.
“What a delight Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is! It’s charming but never cloying, complementing its vibrant cel-shaded art and good-natured child star with plentiful doses of wit and joy.” – Gamespot.com
So recently I went on holiday to Iceland. What were my impressions of it? See below!
For those interested, the first half of my novel ‘Summons of the Majestic’ is up on authonomy.com, in my ongoing quest to find an agent/publisher. You can read without an account, but for those that do have one, backing it and rating it would be appreciated…as Mr HarperCollins reviews the top 5 rated each month.

The below is an extract from my current work-in-progress YA fantasy novel, entitled ‘Three Magic Trees’. Hope you enjoy the brief read, ye faithful!
This flash review is for the Bluray release of the anime film ‘Journey to Agartha, English dub.
“The most striking thing about this film are its perfect visuals. Animation has never seemed so relaxing, with so many shots of the setting sun and spectacular detail in the used for the floral life and even little rocks.” – www.thehollywoodnews.com
I have recently finished editing my fantasy novel ‘Summons of the Majestic’, so while that swims around the various oceans of literary agents and publishers, I can finally turn attention to new writing projects.
I recently bought a Playstation 2 for my girlfriend, so it got me musing on retro gaming. So have decided to compile a list of my top 5 Playstation 2 RPGs. Enjoy!
