Review: The Head Hunter
Blu-ray: The Head Hunter (2018)Before watching The Head Hunter I read a few reviews of this independent ‘made on a low budget’ shortish film.

Review: Creed – Rise to Glory
If you think Creed: Rise to Glory is a feel-good movie about a porn star battling his crippling Viagra addiction, then you’d be sadly wrong. I’d also recommend you speak to a sex therapist as you’ve clearly got one thing on your mind! If, however you are keen to find out more about the PSVR […]

Review: Maneater
As someone who has been playing videogames for over 40 years, it’s fair to say there isn’t much I haven’t done whilst holding a joystick or controller. However, as I write this review, I’ve been wracking my brains and I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where I’ve controlled a shark. I’ve been a […]
