Ray And Liz is a fly-on-the-wall drama that looked brilliant in the trailer, but didn’t quite equal the sum of its parts. This film doesn’t just sit in one timeframe, and chops and changes between the two, so of the couple, we begin with an older Ray (Patrick Romer), who’s hard-drinking and chain-smoking his way […]
Weird Science is one of my all-time favourite ’80s comedies, and one of many times when the late-great writer/direcor John Hughes hit all the right notes, even though I didn’t realised until now that this was based on a comic book (like every other film made today!), most likely because the comic book’s writers were […]

Sixteen Candles is one of those John Hughes ’80s comedies I saw at the time, but haven’t seen in a long time, and I never knew there was an extended version before this disc was announced for release. It’s Samantha’s (Molly Ringwald) 16th birthday, and everyone’s forgotten. Or have they? Maybe. Either way, it’s also […]

Border stars Eva Melander as Tina, a border customs officer, similar to those I’ve been watching a lot of on Pick TV’s Stop Search Seize where, if you try and get one over Bruce Heller as you walk through the airport, he’ll snap your neck with a mere look! Well, perhaps NOT as similar, since […]

FM feels like the kind of movie where, if it was being made today, there’d be enough scope to turn it into a full series on Netflix. Another radio station is trying to bribe their way in to this one – QSky Radio, so they can fill it with over-commercialisation, but it would compromise the […]

Fighting With My Family didn’t look like it was going to win me over from the trailer, but I like to check out as many films as I can, so did it flex its muscle in the ring? (Oo-er, missus!) It tells the true story of a wrestling family as they vent their spleens in […]

Escape Room: These are puzzle rooms which I’ve seen at games expos but not yet partaken. However, I get the jist of them. You’re locked in a room and must solve a series of puzzles within the hour or you’ll never escape… well, in those, you’ll be evicted because they have other paying customers waiting […]

The Andromeda Strain is yet another one of those classics from yesteryear which has completely passed me by until its seen the light of day as a Special Edition Blu-ray, so it’s always pleasing to see such a movie for the first time in that form. A satellite has crashed down and a team have […]
