Blu-ray: Double Dragon (1994) Ahhh….the 90’s. Almost feels like yesterday when movies based on video games were the hottest property in movieland. Superhero films were still a rarity, aside from the odd blockbuster, so the big screen hero’s were found in arcade machines or 8 & 16 bit consoles. From 101 Films comes 1994’s Double Dragon on Blu-ray […]
VOD: The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence) (2015) Writer/Director Tom Six came to prominence with the movie watching public when The Human Centipede (First Sequence) came crawling and gagging onto our screens in 2009.

Blu-ray: A.W.O.L. (1990) A.W.O.L. (AKA Lionheart ) from 101 Films is the Blu-ray debut for this action ‘classic’ which many consider to be Jean-Claude Van Damme’s best film. Made in 1990, Van Damme was already a name well known to fans of fight cinema, with such incredible action templates already under his black belt like Bloodsport, […]
Blu-ray: Black Eagle (1988) I’m going on record now and saying that I really love Van Damme movies. Van Damme was part of the new wave of action heroes in the 80’s and 90’s. Of course you had Arnie and Stallone who were also massive action heroes of mine however; this new breed of action […]

Cinema: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) George Miller takes us back to the wasteland of a dystopian future where life is cheap and the only things that matter are water, petrol and bullets. Not a remake but rather another adventure to add to the other Mad Max movies, and now Miller’s very distinct style comes […]
DVD: Coherence (2013) A group of early-thirties, middle class, American friends (Nicolas Brendon, Emily Baldoni) gather for a dinner party as a comet passes overhead. Things quickly begin to go…‘weird’. One of my favourite films for the last few years is the Indie Sci-fi Another Earth, it has a really original feel to it, and […]
