Broadchurch DVD review

BroadchurchCast

Broadchurch is the immensely popular, and some might say surprise, hit TV drama of the year so far with David Tennant and Olivia Colman in the starring roles against a backdrop of gorgeous Dorset scenery and a puzzling death of a young boy in a quiet seaside community. Enter grizzled detective DI Alex Hardy (David [...]




Penguins – Spy in the Huddle Blu-Ray review

Curious penguins examine a covert camera

“Behind their feisty charm lies an amazing character” begins David Tennant’s comforting introduction to the 3 hour penguin-fest of Penguins – Spy in the Huddle which has been “filmed as never before” using a whole range of ingenious technologies and clever camouflaging. Producer/Director John Downer has already made a name for himself with the bird-centered Earthflight [...]




She Monkeys DVD Review

She monkeys

A modern Swedish western and coming-of-age drama is hardly the hybridisation you would expect. Lisa Aschan’s directorial debut is this amalgamation of genres, as well as bicuriousity, control and awkward overt sexualisation of a seven year-old. Unrecognisable genre-blending has made this a most refreshing piece of cinema, one which has kept the confusion and inherent [...]

Lewis – Series 7 DVD review

Lewis_Sanjeev

Lewis is the original spin-off from the original Inspector Morse detective series which first appeared on UK TV sets in 1987 and starred John Thaw as the complicated and often unconventional detective. After a very successful run the series ended in 2000 with the demise of Inspector Morse in “The Remorseful Day” and that was [...]




The Mentalist season 4 DVD Review

the mentalist season 4

The Mentalist was one of the early results of the huge success of Fox’s House MD. The idea of a lead character with a unique set of skills wasn’t, ahem, unique, but it was the intelligence with which it was executed in the Hugh Laurie series that really set the standard. TV is now awash [...]

Apartment 143 DVD Review

Apartment-143-

Ever since William Friedkin’s The Exorcist became one of the most powerful and successful horror films ever, people have tried and failed to replicate the style and power of the film. Most recently we have had The Possession, Lovely Molly, and The Last Exorcism and to an extent the Paranormal Activity films all dealing with [...]

Livid DVD Review

Livid

French directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury are already well known names in horror circles. Their first film, Inside from 2007, is thought of by many horror fans to be the best example of the genre released in the last few years. It is after all a film which retains the power to shock when [...]




Casino Jack DVD Review

casino_jack_cover

In the early nineties Kevin Spacey rose to prominence in Hollywood. He did so by playing some notable villains, and did a nice line in slimy businessmen. Once he became popular, of course, they made him into a good guy, and he was never quite the same again. Now, however, he has returned to his [...]

Licence to Drive Coming to the UK on DVD (And how without this film HeyUGuys wouldn’t exist!)

Licence to Drive

This post is timed so nicely with the third instalment of ‘No, Seriously – It’s Awesome’ as I think if I went on the show with Will, Licence to Drive would be one of the movies that I’d love talk about. Years and years ago, well before the dawn of HeyUGuys, I lent Jon a [...]

Goon DVD Review

Goon UK Poster

Truth be told, I don’t have a particularly great knowledge of Ice Hockey and its various rules and regulations.  However judging by Goon, it would appear to be even more of a rough and tumble affair that I first though. Obviously I always knew it was a fairly physical game, but in Michael Dowse’s sports [...]




Bob the Builder: Complete Series 1 and 2 DVD Review

Bob the Builder The-Complete Collection Series 1 and 2 Packshot

Since 1999, children of all ages have enjoyed the classic animated series of Bob and his band of vehicle friends to help him build and fix things all over his town. Today, Bob the Builder is still popular amongst children, with several spin-off shows currently airing domestically and internationally. But fans of the original show [...]




Like Crazy DVD Review

Like Crazy

Romance is one of the oldest cinematic genres, and nowadays, there seems to be two main approaches. The first is the very obvious, schmaltzy ‘boy meets girl, both seemingly unaware of their true feelings, but they overcome numerous obstacles, hilarity ensues, and everyone lives happily ever after’. Then, there are the more complicated films that [...]
