Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Moshi Monsters is an online, interactive game that allows children to own their own pet monsters. This opportunistic movie spin-off will make no sense at all to most adult audiences and may well leave the kids frustrated as well.
The film is shot in garish, dayglo colours. Its characters are strange-looking gonks with names such as Katsuma and Poppet. The plot is some hokum about the evil Dr Strangeglove, who has got hold of the Great Moshling Egg. The Moshlings are trying to recover the egg while also making a film about their antics. At one stage, a character talks about "nailing goo to the wall". That seems an accurate summary of the film-makers' approach overall. The oblique references to adult entertainers such as Mae West and the trippy nature of the visuals don't begin to make up for the messy, random quality of the storytelling.
