Live Event: Dressed To Kill, The Tivoli, August 25th, 2019
“You wanted the best, you got the best. The hottest band in the world…KISS” I’ve heard the above introduction 31 times at KISS concerts across the UK since becoming a fan (some may say “obsessed with”) back in 1979. I’ve also had the pleasure of hearing that introduction MANY times over the years at Dressed […]
Review: Memory – The Origins of Alien
Memory: The Origins of Alien is the latest documentary written and directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, famous for ‘78/52’ the documentary which fetishistically dissected Hitchcock’s shower scene so eloquently. He now turns his gaze onto Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic, Alien.

Review: In Bruges
Blu-ray: In Bruges (2008) Imagine the joy I felt on seeing Colin Farrell as Ray in ‘In Bruges‘, excitedly run over to a film-in-film set with a delighted (Irish accented) cry of ‘Midgets! They’re filming fuckin MIDGETS’! Some films just have it, you know it’s going to be a belter and as the voiceover starts […]
Review: Big Bad Wolves
Blu-ray & DVD: Big Bad Wolves (2013) Big Bad Wolves is a nerve jangling, buttock tightening, Israeli thriller that throws pitch black humour and bloody torture at you, all wrapped in a narrative that centres around pedophilia and murder. Sounds like fun, yeah? While not actually being a ‘fun’ watch, Big Bad Wolves does have […]
