Live Event: Wales Comic Con – November 29th 2015
The other members of 60 Minutes With, Dave and Tina, have been to Wales Comic Con before but this was my first time so I was really excited to see if it lived up to my expectation. The venue was Glyndwr University, Wrexham and as such there were different areas for each of the events […]
Review: A Sense Of Freedom
DVD: A Sense Of Freedom (1979) If Life on Mars taught us anything it’s that the 70’s was a brown, cold and wet decade. Kids played football in the street, the pubs were thick with smoke and the police dished out their own brand of justice to get the job done. A Sense of Freedom does […]
Live Event: Hard Rock Hell 9 (Podcast)
As promised in our earlier written review of Hard Rock Hell 9, here is our show all about our time there. You’ll hear myself and Ramrod regale you with tales from our fantastic day, plus we interview bands and play songs by them. We encourage you to support all the bands by buying their music […]
Live Event: Hard Rock Hell 9
Despite being in its 9th year, this was myself and Ramrod’s first visit to Hard Rock Hell. Held at Hafan y Môr Holiday Park, Pwllheli in North Wales, the 3 day festival is an ideal meeting point for rock fans to get together, party, make new friends and listen to some fantastic music. We were there for […]
Review: Hellraiser -The Scarlet Box
Blu-ray: Hellraiser – The Scarlet Box (2015) 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 […]
Review: Pipkins (Vol 4)
DVD: Pipkins Vol 4 (1973-81) It’s; tick…tock…tick…tock…TIME……for a review of Pipkins. And if that introduction makes any sense to you, then you’ll surely have already ordered this fantastic DVD from Network On Air. First shown on New Years Day 1973, Pipkins (originally titled ‘Inigo Pipkin’) was a regular part of my television viewing during my childhood. […]
Review: Requiescant
Blu-ray: Requiescant (1967) In Fort Hernandez, a group of Mexican villagers hoping for peace are betrayed by Commander Ferguson and his compliant Confederate Soldiers (one of them has a Union Uniform on, must have been army-confused) who machinegun the whole village, leaving only one small boy alive. Taken in by a wandering preacher and his […]
Review: Charlie Chan And The Curse Of The Dragon Queen
DVD: Charlie Chan And The Curse Of The Dragon Queen (1981) If there’s one word that I doubt you’ll ever see in a review of ‘Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen’ it’s the word ‘subtle’. From the lavish interiors of the Lupowitz household, to the over-the-top performances and comedy so ‘in your face’ […]
Review: Stop Making Sense
Blu-ray: Stop Making Sense (1984) I suppose the bottom line with any music video is – do you like the band? I saw David Byrne 20 years ago and wasn’t really familiar with Talking Heads, but after seeing him live, he (and Taking Heads) became a firm favorite of mine. Filmed at the great Pantages Theatre […]
Review: Spectre
Cinema: Spectre (2015) Daniel Craig returns for possibly the final time as suave super spy James Bond, but does Spectre leave you shaken and stirred or is 007 losing his licence to thrill? I promise those will be the last Bond related puns in this review! The movie follows on from Skyfall where MI6 and […]
