Blu-ray & DVD: The Witches (1967) Famed producer Dino De Laurentiis brought together 5 Italian directors for an anthology movie. Their brief was very simple: to direct an episode in which Silvana Mangano (to whom he was married) plays a witch. Though the definition of ‘witch’ may well vary from story to story, especially if you […]
Blu-ray: The Land That Time Forgot (1974) The first time that I watched The Land That Time Forgot was as a 9 year old boy at a single screen cinema in our local town, sat next to my dad. So began a period in my life when Doug McClure was my action hero of the […]
Blu-ray: Suspiria (1977) This 40th anniversary edition Blu-ray of the Dario Argento classic ‘Suspiria‘ is an absolute treat in both its picture quality (from a new 4K scan) and content.

There aren’t many ‘new’ films amongst the array of wonderful cinematic beauties we get to review at 60MW Towers. They are mainly made up of re-releases, and luckily for us, these reissues are more often than not, stone cold classics of cinema. So picking a top 10 when you’ve watched everything from the films of […]
You have now already seen my Top 10 of the big screen…haven’t you!? So here is my Top 10 of the smaller screen: 10: Glow (Netflix) TanTASTIC 80’s throwback on ladies wrestling TV show Glow. It even had Dave watching wrestling! Nothing to do with nubile females in lycra…at least that’s what he said. 9: […]
A quick list of my favourite cinema experiences of 2017. If you missed any of them on the big screen, then make sure to watch them when they become available for home viewing. One other thing: when you visit the cinema, PLEASE adhere to the Wittertainment ‘code of conduct’. I will not be responsible for […]
