Deadly Crossing
December 23, 2010
I watched this Steven Seagal DVD straight after the particularly violent ‘Born to Raise Hell’, the two were worlds apart. While I thought I was watching yet another Eastern European chop fest of a movie, where Stevie would wade through an endless...
Born to Raise Hell
December 3, 2010
Sometimes I just don’t know why I do it to myself. I should be watching decent films, thought provoking films, films with substance; but no, instead I watch Steven Seagal movies, and not his classics either – his more recent straight-to-DVD fairs...
The Expendables
November 30, 2010
For fans of action films from the 1980s and early 1990s, it has always been a pipe dream to see their favourite action stars team up or, better yet, battle each other. Think of it as the cinematic equivalent of fantasy football. With The Matrix (1999),...
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
September 9, 2010
Jerry Bruckheimer’s reputation for producing successful summer blockbusters took a minor, albeit notable hit with the less than stellar returns for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010), an adaptation of the popular video game of the same name....
Flash Gordon (Blu-Ray)
September 1, 2010
There are certain films that mean a lot to me, and I’ll buy them on any format, no matter whether the visual or sound quality is any better or not, or whether there are any additional features or not. I have to have them. Ghostbusters (1986) is one...
Legion (Blu-Ray)
August 12, 2010
Before I watched this film for the first time I broke my own golden rule and actually read a review first. I try not to do that because I find many reviewers often disagree with me, and even if they do agree with me it’s usually for different reasons....
The Bounty Hunter (Blu-Ray)
July 23, 2010
Just what is it with Jennifer Aniston? She’s been married to one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, she’s an incredibly beautiful woman, she has hair that most women would kill for, she has a great figure, she’s had a hugely successful TV career...
The Karate Kid Part II (Blu-Ray)
July 22, 2010
The Karate Kid part II follows straight on from where the Karate Kid left off, at least it does after a rather lengthy montage of scenes from the first film designed to get you up to speed on past events. Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) has just won the...
The Karate Kid (Blu-Ray)
July 21, 2010
In a decision fuelled in some small part no doubt by the 2010 remake with Jackie Chan and Will Smith’s son Jaden, the original Karate Kid (starring a much older than he looks Ralph Macchio, and an about the right age Pat Morita, gets its first release...
Sharpe – The Complete Series
July 13, 2010
Sharpe is one of those great British TV series that manages to unite the sexes. Men love it because it’s about wartime, features loads of battles and shooting the French. Women love it because of Sean Bean. Not to sound too sexist with this, but a little...
