DVD: Charlie Chan And The Curse Of The Dragon Queen (1981) If there’s one word that I doubt you’ll ever see in a review of ‘Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen’ it’s the word ‘subtle’. From the lavish interiors of the Lupowitz household, to the over-the-top performances and comedy so ‘in your face’ […]
DVD: Maneater (2015) A world at the peril of climate change, a remote scientific corporation base, genetic modification gone wrong, a big bad polar bear on the loose with a crazy cocktail of DNA and scared scientists being clawed to death. All of this is set up within the first 5 minutes of Maneater (AKA […]
Cinema: Crimson Peak (2015) Guillermo del Toro is a name that movie fans and more so, horror fans, will know very well as the goblin king of gothic horror. I’ve been a huge fan of his work since Cronos changed the vampire mythos back in 1993 and ever since then he has made some stunning fantasy […]
Blu-ray: Zardoz (1974) I sat down to watch infamous 70’s sci fi Zardoz for the first time ever and….. hang on… I’m 40 minutes in and I feel like I need to start over…. Right. I’ve now seen Zardoz. It really is crazier than a shithouse rat. I could well leave my review there. You […]
Blu-ray: Space 1999 – The Complete Series 2 (1976) I will give full disclosure at the start of this review and state that I have been a fan of Space 1999 since it first aired on UK television back in 1975. As a 10 year old boy I had already discovered Star Trek, Dr Who, […]
Blu-ray: Madman (1982) Arrow Films presentation of notorious video nasty ‘Madman’ is finally here on Blu-ray. As a horror film buff I must admit I was never really a big lover of this film (apologies to any fans). It is, however one of the most loved and most fun of the early 80’s slasher films. The ‘Cropsy’ […]
A bumper (mostly) ‘all movie’ special this month from myself, Chris and Ramrod. We had so much to say about the movies that we’ve seen lately, that we didn’t have much time for anything else. We chat about: MOVIES: Misery Loves Comedy Unfriended Trainwreck The Uncle Dark Places Cop Car Overnight Guest House Paradiso Kick-Ass […]

Blu-ray: Colors (1988) Before ‘Boyz n the Hood‘ (John Singleton’s seminal film about L.A. gang culture), before gangster rap was played over every radio station worldwide, before ‘thug life‘ was a household term, even before the Rodney King incident, there was a film that reflected the violence and tension of the time and went on […]
DVD: The Uncle (1965) Seven year old Gus Morton (played delightfully by a ‘so cute you could squeeze him until he explodes’ Robert Duncan) is a quiet and inquisitive young boy, but his world is turned upside down one summer when his much older sister, her husband and their rambunctious son Tom (a cheeky faced Christopher Ariss) come […]
