    Check out my performance as "Prison Guard" in the upcoming ITV drama series The Pembrokeshire Murders to see me exhibit all of my acting abilities: "walking", "sitting silently", "staring blankly" and "pushing Keith Allen". Eat your heart out, Day-Lewis.

    It falls apart a little towards the end, but with an atypical chronological structure, some great visuals, the balls to take some dark turns, and a menacing performance from the always-watchable Guy Pearce, Brimstone is a really enjoyable western.

    H. P. Lovecraft's work can be hard to adapt but 2019's Color Out of Space does a decent job with one of my favourite Lovecraft stories. Definitely worth a watch. Plus a point for inclusion of Chong, although minus a point for lack of Cheech.

    It's always a pleasure when you stumble across a great band and discover they've been around for years and have a hefty back catalogue for you to dive into like sociopathic capitalist Scrooge McDuck. My latest: Those Poor Bastards.

    "His hat cast a shadow across his face so I didn’t see it clearly, but he wore a brown duster coat and carried a revolver and knife on his hip, and walked like a man with purpose.” A bloody comeuppance for the Lemoyne Raiders recently in Red Dead Online:

    Intrepid reporter Xavier Phillips brings you all the gun-slinging, horse-riding, jaw-punching, whiskey-drinking, spur-jangling, hog-hurling news that's fit to print as he joins the staff of weekly Red Dead Online newspaper The Five States Herald:

    Happy second birthday to one of my favourite videogames / things of all time, Red Dead Redemption II. Kudos to everyone involved in the creation of this masterpiece, including and for their parts in bringing to life two of my all-time favourite characters.

    Film title of the day: "Shoot in Any Direction and You'll Hit a Bastard". A short homage to spaghetti westerns, the sound design in particular stands out as impressively faithful. Worth a watch. I give it 6 bullet-riddled bastards out of 10.

    There are three actors I'll watch in any movie. Humphrey Bogart is one of them.
