    I think with a lot of tv shows i wouldn't say they have "Bad" endings, yet a lot have lacklustre endings. Very few good to great shows know how to end. I'm surprised Peter Jackson has come out and mentioned how rushed he was on The Hobbit. Guillermo Del Toro was living there for years, then pulled out. Surely some story boards were on the board?

    One of the worst game ending I've experienced is Fallout 3's original (pre-DLC) one.

    The game's mechanics give you carte blanche to wander around picking and choosing how and when you're going to finish various quests. But when you get the end the game twists itself in knots to try and justify making your character walk into a fatal, radiation-soaked area to save the wasteland. Regardless of how you've played the game to that point and despite there being a radiation-immune super mutant available to do that job safely.

That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back. Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t judge) which I

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
