Review: Game of Thrones
Television: Game of Thrones (2011 – ) How Game of Thrones broke the internet. If anything ‘broke the internet’ it definitely was NOT Kim (who?) Kardashian’s arse, it was the last episode of Game of Thrones. No point saying ‘beware spoilers!’ as if you haven’t seen it by now, and you’re a fan, where the […]
Review: Jurassic World
Cinema: Jurassic World (2015) Sat in the ‘sweet spot’ at my new local IMAX 3D cinema, I’m shaking with excitement as I awaited what I hoped would be the ultimate summer blockbuster.

Review: Double Dragon
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.

Review: A.W.O.L.
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, […]
Review: Black Eagle
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 […]
