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).

Cert 15 | 105 mins

Totally amazing film, 5 stars all the way.
This is not a film that I would ever have even considered, let alone watched, but I am very glad that I did.

Foyles War Series 7 DVD Release Review *****

Cert 15 | 275 mins

Thoroughly compelling from start to finish, 5 stars all the way.
Foyles War Series 7 is created and written by Anthony Horowitz (Midsomer Murders, The Gathering), the writer of the previous six seasons and is every bit as powerful as they were.
In series 7 we see a very different turn of events for Foyle as he finds himself working for British…more

Journeyman – the Complete Series DVD ****-

Cert PG | 585 mins

4 Stars of well written Sc-Fi.
Before I start I believe this series should have gone further because of it’s writing pedigree Kevin Falls (West Wing) but unfortunately it only got one season in 2007, but do not let this put you off as it one of the best sci-fi ideas in a long time, well since Quantum leap.
Dan Vasser (Kevin…more

Silver Linings Playbook DVD Release Review *----

Cert 15 | 122 mins

In the spirit of generosity I have given this film 1 star.
For a film which actually won awards, it is almost impossible to find any redeeming features here.
This film is based on the debut novel by Matthew Quick and directed by David O. Russell (Three kings, The Fighter).
The story-line is almost mind mindbogglingly tedious. Although you can just about tell where they are going…more

The Princess Bride 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Release *****

Cert PG | 94 mins

This is as fabulous as ever, 4.5 stars for both the film and for the 25th Anniversary extras and bonus features.
The Princess Bride is a classic fairy tale, originally released in 1987 and lovingly converted here to Blu-ray to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its birth. The re-mastered version is just brilliant, the film doesn’t even really look that dated…more
