Posted on 30/08/2013 | No CommentsTweet How has your week been? Nothing too crazy going on here at IGP.

The World’s End Review
Posted on 28/08/2013 | 1 CommentI have to admit, I was afraid The World's End was going to disappoint me. I've been a huge fan of Wright, Pegg and Frost since their days on Spaced.

Elysium Review
Posted on 13/08/2013 | No CommentsTruth be told, I've been looking forward to Elysium for months. District 9 was a breath of fresh air after a seemingly endless slew of sequels, prequels and reboots. For the same reason I really wanted to watch Elysium. -
