WIN TITANIC 2 DVD
If you were asked to name a film which didn’t warrant a sequal, Titanic would be up there at the top of the list. However, this action packed simply named Titanic II film defies that assumption. It’s based around an identical voyage carried out 100 years after the doomed original journey and guess what? This [...]
REVIEW: TITANIC 2 DVD
Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, James Cameron and a $200 million budget. These are just a few elements that Titanic 2 doesn’t have. It’s also the most unintentionally funny film of all time. Set in the present day, a rich millionaire called Tom (Shane Van Dyke) has financed a re-creation of the Titanic, which is taking [...]
WIN STEWART FRANCIS: TOUR DE FRANCIS DVD
He’s played several gigs in the Westcountry in recent years and is gaining quite a following among fans of the one liner comedy and now the deadpan Canadian, Stewart Francis, has released a new DVD. Francis is best known for storming Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, supporting Ricky Gervais on his Science tour and being a [...]
REVIEW: THE LAWNMOWER MAN DVD
If you go by the title alone this could be some weird thriller starring Alan Titschmarsh and Flymo, but thankfully this film is a classic bit of cyber-punk paranoia. A scientist called Dr. Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) performs experiments involving intelligence enhancing drugs and virtual reality on a simple-minded gardener called Jobe (Jeff Fahey). He puts [...]
REVIEW: SUCK DVD

REVIEW: BURNING BRIGHT DVD
A film with a tiger, a hurricane and Meat Loaf is hardly a recipe for success on paper, but thankfully Burning Bright is pleasant surprise. At an ultra-tight 80 minutes the film tells the story of Kelly (Briana Evigan) who is juggling the twin priorities of looking after her autistic brother Tom while trying to [...]
REVIEW: SONS OF CUBA DVD
This startling documentary takes a look at the uncompromising and sometimes cruel world of the children’s boxing scene in Cuba. The Havana Boxing Academy is a Cuban boarding school that takes 9-year-old boys, and turns them into the best boxers in the world. Sons of Cuba follows the stories of three young hopefuls through 8 [...]
REVIEW: KICK ASS DVD
Any film which includes a loving father teaching his 11 year old daughter how to take a bullet in her kevlar vest before heading off for ice cream is well worth watching. The comic book adaptation has exploded in recent years with mixed results. Thankfully this film manages to poke fun at the genre whilst [...]
REVIEW: LEBANON DVD
War is hell, so the saying goes. With shop shelves groaning under the weight of films full of bloody combat and cliched characters a few films set themselves apart and reveal the trauma, humanity and inhumanity that war brings. Set entirely within the claustrophobic confines of a tank during the 1982 Israeli/Lebanese conflict the story [...]
