The Mooseman on PC – The DVDfever Review

The Mooseman is the person you’re playing in this game, and it’s a game that I didn’t really understand – in fact, it’d take longer to figure that out and write about it, but I’ll have a go, and in short, it’s a puzzler. Best to check out some gameplay first, as you’ll walk along […]

Hang Ups Episode 1 – The DVDfever Review – Stephen Mangan

Hang Ups is, effectively, another of those ‘one room’ comedies, this one the house of Richard Pitt (Stephen Mangan), a therapist whose business collapsed, so today is Day One of working from home (so, a whole house rather than just a room, but it’s mostly what we see through the ‘eye’ of his laptop camera), […]

Terminal on DVD – The DVDfever Review

Terminal is a film I never *got* from the trailer, but it looked great and had a decent cast including Margot Robbie, so it was one I certainly wanted to give a whirl. Firstly, if you are going to watch this very twisty-turny-plotted movie, to avoid spoilers, DO NOT read the cast list on IMDB.

Studio 54 on Blu-ray – The DVDfever Review

Studio 54 was the New York club that everyone wanted to go to, from 1977 until its closure in February 1980. It did reopen in later years, for various periods of time, but never as a permanent venture. This film tells the story of its life during the disco era of the late ’70s – […]

Birdman Of Alcatraz on Blu-ray – The DVDfever Review

Birdman of Alcatraz is another of those classics from yesteryear which I never got round to watching, so now I’m glad it’s out on Blu-ray so I can see it in the best shape possible. The film begins in the then-present day with narration from the deep-voiced Tom Gaddis, who wrote the novel based on […]

Hang Ups Episode 1 – The DVDfever Review – Stephen Mangan

Posted by Dom Robinson on August 8th, 2018

Hang Ups is, effectively, another of those ‘one room’ comedies, this one the house of Richard Pitt (Stephen Mangan), a therapist whose business collapsed, so today is Day One of working from home (so, a whole house rather than just a room, but it’s mostly what we see through the ‘eye’ of his laptop camera), which includes interruptions from family members who still have to go out and about, including partner Karen (Katherine Parkinson).

All of his clients come through via the laptop, whether it’s Miranda‘s Sarah Hadland as Fiona – recounting horrendous situations from school, or as shown on the ‘next week’ clip, David Tennant as Martin Lamb, but the first one is Pete (W1A‘s Karl Theobald), talking about mur -dering his wife, but he’s a friend, and it’s a test for Pitt’s new venture.

Britney Spears at Brighton Pride – “Hey, I’m bare, me, one more time!”

Posted by Dom Robinson on August 8th, 2018

Britney Spears – Am I the only one who thinks she should stop showing us her naked flesh?

Britney Spears came onto the music scene in 1999 with the then-ground-breaking music video, “(Hit Me) Baby One More Time” where she dressed in a schoolgirl outfit, sending the blood-pressure soaring of a lot of men in the UK, and coming off the back (oo-er, missus!) of the ’90s Lads Mag culture.

Studio 54 on Blu-ray – The DVDfever Review

Posted by Dom Robinson on August 6th, 2018

Studio 54 was the New York club that everyone wanted to go to, from 1977 until its closure in February 1980. It did reopen in later years, for various periods of time, but never as a permanent venture. This film tells the story of its life during the disco era of the late ’70s – but the star that burns the brightest, only burns so long…

Founded and created Ian Schrager and the late Steve Rubell in 1977, there’s interviews with the former, plus Steve’s brother, Don, as well as the voice and archive footage of Rubell, a man who was effervescent on the outside, but inside, he was a very private man.

Birdman Of Alcatraz on Blu-ray – The DVDfever Review

Posted by Dom Robinson on August 6th, 2018

Birdman of Alcatraz is another of those classics from yesteryear which I never got round to watching, so now I’m glad it’s out on Blu-ray so I can see it in the best shape possible.

The film begins in the then-present day with narration from the deep-voiced Tom Gaddis, who wrote the novel based on the real-life criminal depicted in the film, Robert Franklin Stroud (Burt Lancaster). The narrator is revealed to be the author, as he talks about it being the day that the convict is about to exit from Alcatraz, and at first, I found this fascinating as I don’t think I’ve ever seen an author so involved before… until I realised that’s not the author at all, but actor Edmond O’Brien playing him. I think they missed a trick, there.
