Review: You Cannot Kill David Arquette
Digital Download: You Cannot Kill David Arquette (2020)My son was, as are most kids, obsessed with wrestling as a small child. It’s one of those things he ‘grew out’ of, and by the age of 11 The Undertaker, Triple H and The Hardy boys were replaced with Manchester Utd.I missed it though, missed the soap […]

Review: Pacer
Originally titled ‘Formula Fusion’ upon it’s early access release on Steam in 2015, it was rebranded to ‘Pacer’ in early 2019, when it also caught my eye at PLAY Expo in May 2019.

I spent many hours laughing with or cursing at my friends playing classic games such as Speedball 2, Streets of Rage 2, Street Fighter 2 or Kick Off 2. I’ve just noticed there are a lot of […]
Review: The Sheltering Sky
Blu-ray: The Sheltering Sky (1990)Many years ago I was on holiday in Lido De Jesolo, and as found in most hotels, someone had left behind a book, this time it was a copy of Paul Bowles The Sheltering Sky. I read it that week and fell in love with the story. I guess a story […]

Review: The Fu Manchu Cycle, 1965-1969 – LE
Blu-ray: The Fu Manchu Cycle (1965-1969) I love watching anything with Christopher Lee in it, going back to being a child in the early 1970’s and watching old Hammer horror movies on the television. He has a certain screen presence which I always find captivating, and while the movies he is in vary in quality, […]
