Review: Eureka
Blu-ray: Eureka (1983) Performance, Walkabout, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Don’t Look Now and Masters of Cinema’s new release of ‘Eureka‘ are all films by Nicolas Roeg. I would expect any film fan to have heard of the first 4 and probably hold those films in very high regard. I’ve read about Eureka but […]
Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Cinema: Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) At time of writing this review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has an average rating of 44 on Metacritic and a fairly pathetic 31% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Review: Fallen Soldiers
DVD: Fallen Soldiers (2015) When I received Fallen Soldiers to review, I must confess I left it a couple of weeks before watching it. I hadn’t heard of the film before let alone what people thought of it, so although I was intrigued I was also sceptical. Fallen Soldiers is a period horror film set in […]
Review: Young Rebels
Young Rebels (1992) Young Rebels conjures up some postmodern film, perhaps an early Martin Scorsese starring a young Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro about life being tough on the streets of New York. But no, it’s better than that. This is one of Amir Shervan’s ‘lost’ classics. Over at the 80’s Picture House they specialise […]
