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...
Largo Winch
September 1, 2010
Largo Winch? Who hell he? Largo is an improbably named Belgian comic book hero, and is a cross between James Bond, Bruce Wayne and Bill Gates. Adopted from a Bosnian orphanage as a baby by rich-as-Croesus Nerio Winch (Miki Manojlovic), the founder and...
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...
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...
Robin Hood Season 3
January 30, 2010
It’s always difficult for a TV series to fill the slot of a more popular one, which is why when Robin Hood launched in 2006, replacing Doctor Who, it wasn’t met with the excitement it perhaps deserved. The first season of Robin Hood was good clean...
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
November 29, 2009
When Michael Bay’s Transformers was released in 2007 it was met with much criticism from Transformers fans and film critics alike. It was overly long, had a series of obvious plot devices, relied too much on poor humour, the action scenes were cut too...
Outlander
September 8, 2009
It’s somehow hard to pin down exactly what Outlander was supposed to be, or what it eventually turned out as. The film has whiffs of McTiernan’s Predator, Disney’s Dragon Slayer (don’t get confused by the Disney thing, not a typical Disney movie)...
Return from Witch Mountain: Special Edition
March 30, 2009
With the success of Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) a sequel was inevitable and three years later it became a reality with Return from Witch Mountain (1978). Tony (Eisenmann) and Tia (Richards) return to Earth to experience life in a big city. They beam...
Escape to Witch Mountain: Special Edition
March 25, 2009
One of the good things to come from the release of Race to Witch Mountain (2009) is that Disney has gone into their vaults and given the original and much beloved children’s classic Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) the special edition treatment. Disney,...
