Blu-ray: Coffy (1973) Pam Grier; if you can’t picture her then go now and Google her images. Google ‘Foxy Brown’. Now Google ‘Coffy’. I know she’s incredibly gorgeous but make no mistake guys and gals she’s one tough cookie, and in Jack Hill’s 1973 ‘blaxploitation’ classic she paints the screen red in this tale of […]

Giving fresh life to the horror genre in a way that was to be […]

Blu-ray: Midnight Run (1988) Many film fans say that Robert De Niro’s career crashed when he started doing comedy; The ‘Meet the Parents’ films, although financially successful, were to many an abuse of the great actors talents and maybe he shouldn’t DO comedy….well…. many years earlier was a film by Martin Scorsese about a mentally […]
DVD: Digging Up The Marrow (2014) Isn’t ‘Digging Up The Marrow’ probably the strangest title for a film? It conjures up images of dead things, bones, shovels, graveyards, necrophilia…. just me? ‘Digging Up The Marrow’ is actually the title of the new horror film from Adam Green. Adam Green is a name well known as […]
Myself and Ramrod were kindly invited by the Tivoli to their inaugural ‘in house’ ghost hunt. We took recording equipment with the intention of doing the full show there, but we got so engrossed in the proceedings that we’ve sat down the following day to tell you all about it…even though we mess up a […]
Mel Novak is a successful actor whose work I have admired for many years. He is also a Minister who puts in countless hours within the American prison system and on ‘skid row’.
