Blu-ray: Ghosts of Mars (2001) Movies set on Mars have never really had a good time of it and generally speaking, fared quite badly. Films like John Carter, Mission to Mars and Red Planet struggled to find an audience and were critically mauled. There are exceptions to the rule with The Martian and Total Recall […]

Blu-ray + DVD: Raising Cain (1992) Normally I’d give a brief synopsis but occasionally, as with Raising Cain, it’s best to dive right on in. Brian De Palma has long been derided for being a Hitchcock copycat, and anyone familiar with his work has to (somewhat) agree, that Hitch is an influence. However, Give De […]

Blu-ray + DVD: Willie Dynamite (1974) Resplendent in a wardrobe that Liberace would have turned down for being too ostentatious, Willie Dynamite struts the streets of New York with an attitude that’s bigger than his platform heels and his outlandish headwear combined. Pimping his working girls across the streets and business meetings of The Big Apple, […]

Blu-ray: The New Centurions (1972) Roy Fehler (Stacy Keach) is a law student who joins the L.A.P.D. to help alleviate the financial strain on his family. Partnered with Kilvinski (George C. Scott), a tough but fair veteran who is close to retirement, Roy slowly comes to realise that not only is the police force more important […]

Did you know that in the world before hipsters, the only people who were allowed to wear beards were tramps and members of ZZ Top? And did you also know that for most of the last century mobile phones had not been […]

DVD: Delicious (2016) Leo (Iain Glen) is a successful hotel owner and top chef and is married to beautiful second wife Sam (Emilia Fox). But all is not as it seems, does Leo owe his success to first wife Gina (Dawn French) and her culinary skills? Did he steal her ideas? What a Christmas hotty ‘Delicious’ […]

Blu-ray: The Incredible Hulk – The Complete Collection (1978 – 1982) “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry“. 2 lines of dialogue that are as synonymous with the character that spoke them as “Go ahead. Make my day“, and “I’ll be back“. If Dr David Banner said that to you, then […]

Blu-ray: Lords of Dogtown (2005) Every scene has its grommets, they’re the annoying little fuckers, usually the younger brothers or sisters of people in the group. They have their own gang but all desperately want to be in with the big kids. You see them hanging around football matches in the park desperately hoping they […]
