‘Only You’ – A Short Film

“All I needed was the love you gave.” In between writing reviews for this blog and studying at University, I and Jack like to make short films. They aren’t made with a budget of any sort and are more a bit of fun than anything else. They’re not to be taken seriously, and they’re very low […]

The Passenger (A short film about Time Travel)

A short film made by Tom, me and our little brother. Enjoy, and feedback is welcome! A short film we made over the past couple of days about the travels of a man when he discovers a mysterious box in his shed. Not to be taken seriously but we hope you enjoy it! 🙂 Please […]

Rush Review

Rush is a spectacular film. A film chronicling the rivalry between two of Formula 1’s most interesting personalities. Directed by double Oscar winner Ron Howard, Rush thrills until the credits roll, and is not a film just for F1 enthusiasts. Here’s my review. Rush revolves around the rivalry between Brit James Hunt and Austrian Niki Lauda, the biggest stars […]

Snake Eyes (1998) Review

“You’ve got snake eyes.” Yaaay! It’s Nicolas Cage time! Snake Eyes comes from my favourite era of the master’s work, the 1990’s. In this decade you had some downright excellent action films like The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off (not to mention his Oscar win). In the 90’s you could hardly move for all the Nicolas Cage. I feel Snake Eyes is […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Casino Royale

“Well, I understand double 0s have a very short life expectancy…” Goodbye Pierce Brosnan! After his contract of 4 films was up (and because he was getting on a bit) the search was on for a new Bond. A lot of criticism was leveled at Daniel Craig when he got the role, some seeing him […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The World Is Not Enough

“Never let them see you bleed.” As Tom said on his review of Tomorrow Never Dies, Pierce Brosnan’s Bond movies go from best to worst. And that seems to be the case here as well. I like The World Is Not Enough, though. Not as much as the previous two, and it’s certainly far from perfect, but […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – GoldenEye

“Closing time, James. Last call.” After Licence to Kill was released there were some legal problems. Legal problems which caused a 6-year hiatus and the loss of Timothy Dalton as Bond. But all was not lost, because eventually Bond did return. This time in the form of Remington Steele himself; Pierce Brosnan. GoldenEye is my favourite Bond […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Living Daylights

“Whoever she was, I must have scared the living daylights out of her.” So that’s it for Roger Moore. He had a good run, but after how old he looked in A View to a Kill, I’m just glad he didn’t come back for another one. The Living Daylights is a great film, with a […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Octopussy

“Mr. Bond is indeed of a very rare breed… soon to be made extinct.” Octopussy is an odd one. It’s partly serious, with the USSR side of things, and at the same time it’s absurd with 007 dressing up as a clown. But I can’t help but love it. I was actually surprised to find […]
