The Shield Series 7, DVD Review

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), Blu Ray Review

Posted on: April 21st, 2009 By: Kirk

It seems that Hollywood is running out of original ideas. We’ve had a plethora of remakes over the last couple of years, some of them have been remakes of films that weren’t really that old! One genre that may benefit from a remake you’d think would be the old sci-fi films of the 50s and [...]

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 [...]
