That's all, folks!

Well, this is going to be my last blog post in a while... As of this afternoon I'll be jetting off to Europe for 3 weeks. First up is a week in the UK (my first trip there since 1992!), where I'll be dividing my time between London and Oxford.

Definites on the agenda for this leg of the trip are:
- The Tower of London
- The National Gallery & National Portrait Gallery
- The Globe Theatre
- Spamalot!
- Forbidden Planet Megastore (a geek's Mecca!)
- A London walking tour
- The "Harry Potter" Great Hall
- "The Golden Compass" courtyard
- And what trip to the UK would be complete without getting attacked by a coked up Amy Winehouse? :)


On Tuesday, 23 September, myself, the bf and 2 friends depart London on a 12-day Contiki Tour of Mainland Europe. It's one of the shorter tours, a brief taster of some of the main sights of the Continent, but here's what we'll be doing and checking out:

- The White Cliffs of Dover
- Ferry across English Channel into Belgium
- Amsterdam
- The Rhine Valley
- Munich, Germany (it's Oktoberfest while we're there)
- Austrian Tyrol
- Venice
- Rome
- Florence
- Swiss Alps
- Paris
- World War I French battlefields


Anyway, in my absence, check out the following sites (some of my fave online hangouts) for all your "important" entertainment news needs:

- MovieWeb
- Ain't It Cool News
- Superhero Hype

And, of course, there are the many entertaining blogs to check out on my blog roll alongside.

So cheers for now, keep well and in my absence don't do anything I wouldn't do...

Is the rebooted Lara Croft gay? Evidence for and against...

As some of you know, I’ve been fangirling hard over the new Tomb Raider , the first entry in the video game series since 2008, and ostensibly a reboot for the entire franchise . Taking the form of an origin story, Tomb Raider 2013 depicts the events that transformed a beautiful, if bookish, archaeology graduate into a pistol-packing adventurer with a devil-may-care attitude. We meet Lara Croft as a pretty, fairly ordinary 21 year old, brooding over her work notes, listening to her mp3 player and very much confined to the shadow of her male mentors. By the end of the game, however, she’s taken charge – she’s had to! – and, battered, bruised and bloody, she’s both a survivor and hero, right down to rescuing the princess and carrying her away in her arms. Yeah, this is probably the best point to mention that there will be some Tomb Raider 2013 spoilers in this post, so read ahead with caution. Anyway, I loved the game. Technically it’s near faultless, it looks beautiful, the ov

Weekend report-back: beach, board games and books

So I'm back in the office after a 4 day weekend. And I'm trying not to remind myself that it's almost 3 months until the next public holiday. Bah! Anyway, pop culture didn't play too massive a part in my mini-break. There was braai -ing (expected on National Braai Day), the baking of pretzels in celebration of Oktoberfest ( even if we weren't in Munich this year ), working on the next Girlz 'N' Games comic , and a family lunch to celebrate my mother and cousin's birthdays. A hefty chunk of the weekend however was spent at one of my favourite holiday destinations: the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. We were celebrating a friend's birthday at his family's holiday flat in Southbroom. So there was much chilling and eating and games playing, as well as kite flying, dolphin spotting and swallowing of saltwater as I flailed around in the choppy, chilly surf. We even managed to find Emo Shell! Anyway, film viewing was neglected this weekend, with the excepti

Movies today, SA!

Despite the fact that 5 new films open in South Africa today, not a single one is worthy of an extended Pick of the Week description. If you haven't seen it yet (like me), go and watch Disney-Pixar's Up instead. If you can't get past a deeply ingrained "grown-up" prejudice against animated films, what about seeking out the Johnny Depp-Christian Bale gangster movie Public Enemies ? Hell, you could even go and watch District 9 again. Just stay away from the mediocrity released this weekend. Yeesh. I Hate Valentine's Day - Nia Vardalos reteams with her My Big Fat Greek Wedding love interest John Corbett for this romantic comedy in which a carefree florist lives by a "5 dates only" rule so a relationship never develops and she never gets hurt. A charming restaurateur, however, forces her to re-evaluate her unusual approach to dating. 17% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes . Karate Kallie - A South African comedy about Kallie, a fat teenager, who is mercilessly
