Review: Cop Secret
Digital: Cop Secret (2021) Tango and Cash, Murtaugh and Riggs, Starsky and Hutch; all names you’re more than likely familiar with thanks to their exploits in cinemas and on television screens worldwide. You can now add to that list Bússi and Hörður: a couple of Icelandic cops whose relationship goes deeper (very deep in fact, going […]

Review: Wild Things
Blu-ray: Wild Things (1998) Alas, they don’t make film like this anymore. What’s that? NO sigh of relief from Tina? No feminist outburst? Nope, just a genuine lament at the loss of ‘sex-thrillers’ such as Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction and director Jon Macnaughton’s Wild Things. Apparently star and producer Kevin Bacon said this script was […]

Review: Wyrmwood: Apocalypse
Blu-ray, DVD & Digital: Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2021) Having not watched 2014’s Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, I went into this sequel hesitant as to how much of the narrative would be reliant on a knowledge of the events so far. I needn’t have worried though, as despite some of the lore of this particular undead […]

Review: Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles
The first time I was properly made aware of the concept of verticality in a video game was around 2016, in a review for that year’s triumphant return to the DOOM franchise. In that instance, TotalBiscuit (RIP) described how Doom 2016 built upon the scrappy, rapid yet meticulous combat of its progenitors by adding platforming […]

Review: Pirates
Blu-ray, DVD & Digital: Pirates (2021)As an ageing white male living in the hills of Wales and a penchant for 80’s hair metal, I guess I’m not in the right demographic for a movie about 3 teenage lads in London spending New Years Eve 1999 desperately trying to get into a club to see in […]

Review: Dobermann

Review: The Men
Blu-ray: The Men (1950)During World War II, U.S. Lieutenant Wilocek (Marlon Brando in his first cinema role) is shot in the back, severing his spinal cord. We next see him alone in his own room, away from the other injured soldiers in a VA hospital and refusing to see his fiancé Ellen (Theresa Wright). Cared for […]

Review: Andro Dunos 2
I enjoy side-scrolling shoot ’em ups, or shmups as they are often referred to, as they remind me of a more innocent time when I played a lot of them in arcades or on my home computer. I’ve reviewed a few of my favourites including U.N. Squadron and Apidya to name a couple.If you’ve played […]

Live Event: Joe Bonamassa, Royal Albert Hall, London, May 6th 2022.
The last time I saw Joe Bonamassa do a solo show was way back in December of 2009 at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. It goes without saying the venue I saw him play this past Friday was quite the step up!A huge crowd had assembled for the second of two nights at […]

Review: Johnny Mnemonic
Number 25 in 101 Films “Black Label” range of releases (make sure to read my review of their previous Black Label release Snowtown), Johnny Mnemonic is a 1995 sci-fi/action movie set in the far flung future of 2021…which is scarily accurate at times, with citizens of Beijing all wearing face masks!Keanu Reeves (fresh off the […]
