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 […]

Cinema: Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) 19 years after the Mission Impossible movie franchise began, Tom Cruise (not looking a day older!) returns for his 5th outing as IMF ‘super spy’ Ethan Hunt.

Cinema: Southpaw (2015) Boxing movies are a genre of their own; Rocky, Cinderella Man, Raging Bull, The Champ, The Hurricane, The Fighter, Million Dollar Baby, Fat City and even sci-fi boxing film Real Steel. All these films are not just about a sport, they are about struggle; overcoming the odds and inspiring your fellow man […]
Blu-ray: Blast (1997) Otherwise known as DIE HARD AT A SWIMMING POOL. This was Albert Pyun’s (6000th) attempt at a successful action film. Set around the USA Olympic swim teams kidnapping by shady terrorist (Andrew Divoff) and starring the guy who played Johnny Cage in the Mortal Kombat film (Linden Ashby) as a former Olympian […]
Blu-ray: State of Grace (1990) State of Grace comes to Blu-ray thanks to the good folks at Second Sight. A film that is still overlooked and in my opinion in the top 5 crime films ever made. Released around the same time and overshadowed by the ultimate gangster film ‘Goodfellas’, State of Grace is very […]

Blu-ray: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) This is probably the most difficult movie review I could ever imagine writing… The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8TH Dimension makes its Blu-ray debut from Arrow Films and it’s a thing of absolute joy. The title alone is as epic as the film. […]
