Very spoilery. (If you’re looking for my review, it’s here. My game name-check is here.) You want to know the ending to GATLOPP? P. Just kidding. I’ve spent too long playing Hangman with my 10 year old, I think. So do they all get sent to hell to play that damn (and literally damning) game… Hell’s belle!

GATLOPP: Hell Of A Game 3 stars
Four friends start playing a mysterious board game without reading the rules — rules that state they must have a winner by sunrise or they will all have to play in hell for eternity.

All Between Us 2 stars
This dinner-party-from-hell movie was made in 2010, but is only now, eight years later, getting a home entertainment release – presumably to cash in on co-star Tiffany Haddish’s phenomenal (and well-deserved) success. I’ll admit until I realised when the film was made I was rather mystified regarding Haddish’s involvement. It’s a story that has some… All Between Us Read More
