Blu-ray: The Big Clock (1948) I love Charles Laughton, he’s one of those actors, I suppose not really known or even in vogue now, that with the slightest twitch of his face, can emote a million feelings. He’s been in so many of my favourite films (Spartacus, Hobson’s Choice amongst many others) and I was […]
Blu-ray, DVD, Digital: No Kidding (1960) David Robinson (*cough* great name *cough* played by Leslie Phillips) and his wife Catherine (Geraldine McKewan) have been left a dilapidated country house by an Aunt in her will. Much to the chagrin of his poor wife, David has left a trail of failed business ideas behind them, and […]
Blu-ray: Mega Time Squad (2018) I love time travel films. Time After Time, 12 Monkeys, Peggy Sue Got Married, The Terminator, Safety Not Guaranteed, all of them have that quirky ‘What would you do, if you could go back in time’? vibe going on. In Mega Time Squad, John (Anton Tennet) would rob a shit […]
Spider-Man returns with a brand-new story called The City That Never Sleeps. But how does the downloadable content (DLC) stack up against the main game? I’m sure if you’ve already checked out my review of Spider-Man (and if you haven’t then click here) you’ll know that I absolutely loved it! I was keen to carry […]
Blu-ray: No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1948) No Orchids for Miss Blandish from the infamous novel by James Hadley Chase and directed by St. John Legh Clowes, is a largely forgotten film now, but at the time of its release it caused an outcry because of its then hardcore violence. Starring Jack La Rue, Hugh […]
DVD: Warren (2019) Warren Thompson (Martin Clunes) is a grumpy middle-aged driving instructor, who has moved from the South of England to live with his girlfriend Anne (Lisa Millett) and her 2 sons in Preston. Neither wanting to live in the North of England, be competent at his job, or indeed finally propose to his […]
Blu-ray: Bellman and True (1987) Based on the novel of the same name by Desmond Lowden, Bellman and True is a film I’d not only never seen, but never heard of. But true to form Powerhouse Films and their Indicator series of releases have a way of bringing ‘forgotten films’ back to life. To date […]
Britain seems to be obsessed with certain BBC drama series: Life on Mars, The Night Manager, Luther to name a few, and of course the amazing Line of Duty, created and still written by Jed Mercurio. The first series premiered in June 2012 and became quickly became BBC Two’s best-performing drama series in ten years […]
Has it really been 4 years since my Son and I attended the PLAY Expo in Blackpool!? With him much taller and myself much greyer, we set of to the Manchester Central Convention Complex for a fun filled day where 8 hours went by in a flash of gaming, laughing, buying merchandise, watching shows, and […]
Blu-ray: The Annihilators (1985) I LOVE b-movie action flicks from the 1980’s (listen to our ‘Decade of Decadence’ shows to hear myself and Thom wax lyrical about many of these gems) and The Annihilators is a classic within this niche genre. You want Vietnam veterans on a revenge mission? Check. You want a bad guy […]
@Sybull27 @Cevni @Audiojoe The Last Movie Star is absolutely incredible. Still hoping to record an interview show with @AdamRifkin about my 3 fave movies of his: Last Movie Star, Detroit Rock City, Psycho Cop Returns...tho his entire filmography is superb.
