Paul Blart: Mall Cop Blu Ray Review
Paul Blart: Mall Cop brings Kevin James to the silver screen in a leading role for the first time. Sure he shared the credits with Adam Sandler in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, but this is his first time out there on his own. Not satisfied with the leading male role, he’s also [...]

At the moment within banks across the world being scrutinised due to their gross mismanagement this film would always garner a little more interest than just a standard film of this genre, however we need to look back into the late 1980’s/early 90’s for the inspiration around this particular film. This being BCCI (Bank of [...]

The Crow – DVD Review
The Crow is a film that has been in my DVD collection for sometime. Having recently upgraded the disc I had for the R2 Scandinavian 2 disc Limited Edition steel-book version I thought that I would review a film that is amongst my favourite movies.
Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) and his fiancée Shelly (Sofia Shinas) are [...]
Terminator 3, Blu Ray Review
Terminator 3 continues the story of John Connor and his battle against the time travelling machines and against his destiny. It’s also a bit of a divergence for the franchise in a couple of ways. Firstly the director, Jonathan Mostow has the unenviable task of stepping into James Cameron’s shoes. Secondly we have a female [...]

Kill Bill Volume 1: DVD Review
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Boy oh boy has that never been truer. Uma Thurman kicks ass and takes names. If she says it’s Christmas you better start singing carols!
Quentin Tarantintos’ fourth film. I would also say it’s his most reserved and ostentatious work in equal measure. That snappy dialogue for which [...]
Eagle Eye, DVD Review
Eagle Eye is the 2008 action/thriller directed by D.J. Caruso (sounds like he should be doing the club scene!) and written by Dam McDermott. The film opens with the military tracking a terrorists leader in the Middle East. Unable to get absolute confirmation that their intended target is actually present at the funeral they’re observing, [...]
