Chasing Ice DVD and Blu-ray Release Review *****

Cert 12 | 76 mins

This is a most impressive feat. 5 stars almost doesn’t seem enough for the amount of work that went into the making of this incredible documentary.
Chasing Ice follows the work of James Balog,  an American photographer who specializes in capturing the relationships and interactions between humans and the planet on which we live.
During his work for National Geographic, he began to realize that…more

I Give It A Year DVD and Blu-ray Release Review *****

Cert 15 | 97 mins

Proper British genius this one, 4.5 stars.
I Give It A Year is written (screenplay) and directed by Dan Mazer (Bruno, Borat) and is an extremely refreshing take on what has become a rather tedious genre, the “rom-com”.
Rather than endless dithering as to who will get together with who, will they, won’t they, this film starts with the wedding and watches…more

Civvies DVD review ****-

Cert 15 | 360 mins

4 Star hard hitting series, Linda LaPlante at her best.
A brilliant 6 part series.
Fifteen years in the army and the last five spent in Northern Ireland from 1987-1992.
Frank Dillon, (Jason Isaacs – Harry Potter) walks away from his barracks with a check for £5000 in his pocket as he heads for civvie street, he heads for home to his long…more

The Long Riders Blu-ray Review ****-

Cert 15 | 95 mins

3.5 Star of Crisp Western.
This is a class film shot in a way that pays homage to the Younger / James gang. Rather than the usual portrayal of Jesse James and Cole Younger in other big Westerns.
It follows the exploits of Cole, Jim and Bob Younger (David, Keith and Robert Carradine) Jesse and Frank James (James and Stacy Keach) with…more

In Their Skin DVD Release Review **---

Cert 15 | 92 mins

I was very disappointed in this film, only 2 stars I’m afraid.
It really is a shame because the premise of In Their Skin is great and I was looking forward to watching it.
The story centres around the Hughes family, Mary, Mark and Brendon, who go away to a secluded holiday cottage to get away from their everyday lives after the death of…more

The Incident DVD Release Review ***--

Cert 18 | 81 mins

A pretty gruesome horror this – I have given it 3 stars.
The Incident is set in an insane asylum, always a good start for a horror film. For a new take on this old subject matter however, this particular film concentrates on the kitchen staff. In addition to working together in this rather hair-raising environment the unfortunate cooks also play…more

Broadchurch DVD Release Review *****

Cert 15 | 480 mins

Absolutely magnificent, 5 stars.
Directed by James Strong and Euros Lyn (Dr. Who, Torchwood), this ITV series is another master class in the art of writing British drama from Chris Chibnall (Camelot, Dr. Who, Torchwood).
This gripping 8 part thriller is set in the small seaside resort of Broadchurch, where the discovery of the body of 11 year old Danny Latimer on…more
