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...
Mega Piranha
August 9, 2010
Jesus Christ. Where do I start with this one? The Asylum is a studio rapidly acquiring fame for their ‘mockbusters’; films that have familiar titles and DVD covers, quite possibly designed to hornswaggle unwary grandparents into buying what...
Flashforward: Part One Season One
March 4, 2010
With the last season of Lost upon us, all of the major television networks have either canceled their science fiction/horror shows or are refusing to greenlight any new ones. Like any trend that goes through a cycle, this one has definitely played itself...
Surrogates
January 20, 2010
For every Die Hard (1986) or 12 Monkeys (1995), there are all kinds of 16 Blocks (2006) and Hostage (2005) – forgettable genre films that populate Bruce Willis’ extensive filmography. Surrogates (2009) is the latest paycheck film for the veteran actor....
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...
Terminator Salvation (Blu-Ray)
November 18, 2009
This review refers to the Blu-Ray version of Terminator Salvation. When the idea of a fourth Terminator movie was first floated around, it met with much scepticism. The third Terminator, Rise of the Machines, was so bad that any thought of another movie...
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth (Blu-Ray)
November 11, 2009
This review refers to the Blu-Ray version of the release. The boys from the Dwarf are back once again. Slightly older, slightly rounder, slightly less hair and slightly less funny, but back nonetheless. Red Dwarf has been missing from TV screens for far...
Ultraman: The Complete Series
October 14, 2009
Ultraman was originally shown on the Tokyo Broadcasting System from July 17, 1966 to April 9, 1967 for a total of 39 episodes, all of which have been collected in their original, uncut form in this new box set for an insanely affordable price. The show...
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2
October 7, 2009
When I first heard of the concept of a Terminator TV series I was filled with dread. As if the third movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger almost destroyed the Terminator franchise in his campaign vehicle for election wasn’t bad enough, a TV series with...
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)...
