Review: Wolf Hall
Blu-ray: Wolf Hall (2015) Reading that Hilary Mantel’s novels ‘Wolf Hall’ and ‘Bring up the Bodies’ were being turned into a TV programme would fill some fans of the books with trepidation. The fact that it was to be a BBC production was great, but the problem would lie, for me, in who would star […]
Review: Digging Up The Marrow
DVD: Digging Up The Marrow (2014) Isn’t ‘Digging Up The Marrow’ probably the strangest title for a film? It conjures up images of dead things, bones, shovels, graveyards, necrophilia…. just me? ‘Digging Up The Marrow’ is actually the title of the new horror film from Adam Green. Adam Green is a name well known as […]
Live Event: Tivoli Hauntings (Podcast)
Myself and Ramrod were kindly invited by the Tivoli to their inaugural ‘in house’ ghost hunt. We took recording equipment with the intention of doing the full show there, but we got so engrossed in the proceedings that we’ve sat down the following day to tell you all about it…even though we mess up a […]
Review: Road to Paloma
Blu-ray: Road to Paloma (2014) Wolf (Jason Momoa) is on the run from the police and the FBI for murder. On his travels he picks up musician ‘Cash’ (Robert Homer Mollohan) and together they evade the law. That was probably the hardest Blurb I’ve had to write for a film, because in all truth, not […]
Retro Review: Sunset Riders
Sunset Riders Released: 1993 Platform: Super Nintendo Publisher: Konami Developer: Konami There aren’t many games set in the Wild West that are generally that well regarded. Certainly Red Dead Redemption would usually be considered the best of the bunch however, I also think Sunset Riders should be mentioned as one of the better cowboy games. […]
Retro Review: Dick Tracy
Dick Tracy Released: 1991 Platform: Sega Megadrive Publisher: Sega Developer: Sega I remember seeing Dick Tracy at the cinema when I was younger. I didn’t really know who Warren Beatty or Al Pacino was as I was probably about 14 years old, but what I do remember is that Dick Tracy was one of the […]

Blu-ray: Night Train Murders (1975) Two young girls, Margaret (Irene Miracle) and Lisa (Laura D’Angelo) are travelling by train from Germany to Italy to stay with Lisa’s family for Christmas. Also on the train are Blackie (Flavio Bucci) and Curly (Gianfranco De Grassi), who attempt to hide from the ticket collector. At first the girls […]
Review: Network
Blu-ray: Network (1976) “I’m going to kill myself on live TV” says Peter Finch’s strung out news anchor as he slumps on the bar. “We can call it suicide of the week! The Death Hour” is the nonchalant comeback from William Holden’s news commissioner. The tone is set for Sidney Lumet’s classic satire on a […]
Review: Never Alone
Video-games are often accused of a lot of things. They are too violent, sexist, misogynistic and in some cases just plain stupid. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy shooting people in the face as much as the next guy, and there’s something entertainingly wrong about picking up a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto, having […]
Review: Futureworld
Blu-ray: Futureworld (1976) “Would I have sex with a robot”? That’s probably not a question that you ask yourself too often, but if you were to visit Delos then it would surely be high on your list of queries, 2nd only perhaps to; “Have they REALLY fixed those robots since the crazy bald gunslinger short […]
