Triview: Pokemon Black

Close, but just falling short of the mark: 4/5

Pokemon.  A franchise you either politely and determinedly ignore, like a yelling homeless man on the London Underground, or one which you follow with an insane glint in your eye and a fire in your heart that may well turn you into that yelling homeless man on the London Underground. I fall into the latter category, I fear. An avid Pokemon fan since the age of eight when I stole my brother's version of Blue and used his Venusaur to destroy a Persian, I am hooked and lost to the world.

Triview: Batman Returns

Enjoyable, but not the best: 3/5

Even if you hadn’t seen his name in the opening credits, you would soon be left in little doubt as to the identity of this film’s director; Tim Burton’s sequel to the 1989 Batman (also directed by Burton) is as distinctively surreal as ever, with his unique brand of dark humour running through it from start to finish.
