Film and TV

Can you believe Godzilla is almost 70? The first film was released in 1954 and Godzilla Minus One marks the 37th movie in the franchise.This could be viewed as a reboot prequel of sorts as it’s set in postwar Japan, and deals with a country and it’s people struggling to come to terms with that.

4K UHD: Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996)Having reviewed and enjoyed Arrow’s 4K UHD release of Tremors, I was delighted when the sequel was announced as another 4K UHD release.Set 6 years after the original movie (the same period between the movies themselves), Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) has long since used up the fame that was bestowed […]

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 […]

4K UHD: The House by the Cemetery (1981)I’ve always loved the movies of Lucio Fulci, so it was a treat to hear that Arrow Films were releasing The House by the Cemetery as a Limited Edition 4K UHD Blu-ray…and this most definitely looks better than I’ve ever seen it.The third and final instalment in his […]

Intrigued upon reading the synopsis of The Rev, the fact that it happened not too far down the road from 60MW Towers and was set during my favourite decade (the 80s), meant that I just had to give this a watch.In 1985, Detective Inspector Gwyn Roberts was sent to the North Wales seaside town of […]
