In November last year Scalextric kindly sent me their “Back to the Future vs Knight Rider” set to review.One year later and they’ve once again brought a big smile to my face and sent me their Micro Scalextric Batman vs The Riddler set to review.As with the previous set, it was far better to make […]
I’ll be perfectly honest and say that I’d never even heard of the original Ghostrunner game, which is not surprising really when my fave video game genres are racing and RPGs, and those are what I mostly keep an eye open for.So what was it about Ghostrunner 2 that peaked my interest when we were […]
Fabulous Films have knocked it out of the park (and onto the moon) releasing yet another favourite television show from when I was a child. This time unleashing all 26 episodes from Season 1 and 2 of The Clangers, now fully restored and presented from high-definition masters.Originally broadcast between 1969 and 1972, The Clangers was […]
I’d only ever watched the original Ginger Snaps movie back on its release over 20 years ago, so it was great to hear that the ever reliable Second Sight Films were releasing a limited edition Blu-ray box set of the full trilogy.Katharine Isabelle (Ginger) and Emily Perkins (Brigette) are sisters, with movies 1&2 set in […]
(Tina) There are 2 films that I’ve always dreaded having to write about; Blade Runner and Hellraiser. The reason I’m adverse to discussing these particular films is because they have such a deep emotional meaning to me that I am incapable of being objective about either of them, as I regard them both equally as films elevated above […]
4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD & Digital: Delicatessen (1991)I remember Delicatessen looking gorgeous when I first watched it on VHS over 30 years ago (was it really that long!?), but this new 4K restoration (and making its UHD debut) from Studiocanal looks amazing and showcases the work of co-directors Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, along with […]
Blu-ray: Memento (2000)Based on the short story by his brother Jonathan Nolan, Director Christopher Nolan kind of broke the mould and gave a whole new genre of film with Memento.It tells the story of Leonard Shelby, who we find out as the story progresses is a man who suffers from anterograde amnesia – short-term memory loss […]
DVD & Blu-ray: Bagpuss – The Complete Series.Bagpuss…surely one of the most beloved kids shows for people of a certain age and here in its entirety on both DVD & Blu-ray, now fully restored in HD from the film negatives.Bagpuss made its debut on British television on February 12th 1974, and the synopsis is a […]
I have to admit that I knew nothing at all about Trepang2, so went into this not knowing what to expect…and I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed the experience.An amalgam of Max Payne, F.E.A.R, and the most ballsy and bloody all out action/sci-fi movie you could think of, Trepang2 had me […]
Having played (and reviewed) Soedesco’s previous Truck Driver game, I was intrigued (and hesitantly a little excited) to experience their new current gen trucking title “Truck Driver the American Dream”…which I have to admit after playing it has pushed me to write a review dominated by the word “but”.TDtAD is better than the original Truck […]
