Posted on: July 16th, 2009 By: Matt Wheeldon

Mumbai Calling’s pilot episode first aired in May 2007.

Posted on: June 2nd, 2009 By: Matt Wheeldon

Season 7 is the final season of the Shield, and it’s clear from start to finish that the series hasn’t lost any of the hard-hitting, gritty realism, that’s had fans hooked since early 2002. The stories are as edgy as ever, there’s plenty of action, brutality, and a plot that twists and turns so often [...]

Martyrs, Blu Ray Review

Posted on: May 18th, 2009 By: Matt Wheeldon

Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs is the first ‘real’ horror film in years for one simple reason, it’s horrifying. The French director pulled no punches with this film, and has made possibly one of the most graphic films ever to be released.
 
Although saying that this isn’t your average slasher film that’s completely void of any plot, this [...]

American History X, Blu Ray Review

Posted on: May 1st, 2009 By: Matt Wheeldon

Buy Online, Best Price Comparison

The Film:
To put it bluntly, American History X is one of the best and most powerful films ever released. It’s a message movie that, unlike most message movies, has a right to take itself seriously, and doesn’t once come across as pretentious. The message contained is an anti-racist one, which is [...]

RocknRolla, Blu Ray Review

Posted on: March 30th, 2009 By: Matt Wheeldon

The Film:
When news of writer/director Guy Ritchie’s new gangster project, RocknRolla, surfaced, I have to say I was hopeful, yet not optimistic. Whilst I was a massive fan of his first two (Lock, Stock and Snatch) the third (Revolver) was an utter car wreck. So, is RocknRolla a spectacular return to form, or another miss?
As [...]

Gran Torino, Cinema Review

Posted on: March 19th, 2009 By: Matt Wheeldon

One of the first things to hit you about watching this film, is it’s a film named after a car, that has nothing to do with racing, tuning or even driving cars. It’s a film about an old man, a Korean War veteran, that’s growing apart from his family and feels that the world has [...]
