I’m still torn about Mockingjay Part 1. When it was announced that the third book was going to be split into two films, it was rather depressing that one of the franchises I liked was…

WWE Recap – Raw 9th March 2015
As we’ve been made very much aware, we’re on the road to Wrestlemania and to be honest with you, I’m starting to get a little carsick. It’s fantastic to have the opportunity to write about…
DVD Review – Wolves (2014)
I’ve been a fan of actor/writer/director David Hayter for a while. The man wrote both X-Men and X-Men 2, Watchmen and weirdly enough, also provided the gravelly voice for lead character Solid Snake in the…
Blu-ray Review – Nightcrawler (2014)
Hello everyone, my name’s Ben and I’m…(deep breath)…a Gyllenhaalic. I started getting interested in his work around the time Donnie Darko came out. I’d dabbled with Gyllenhaal since then but found I could take or…
DVD Review – Life Itself (2014)
It’s very difficult to hear more than a few of Roger Ebert‘s words without his distinctive personality coming through. His straight talking, hometown wisdom style of writing frequently offered great insights into why a film…
Blu-ray Review – Fury (2014)
Straight from the off, it’s clear that Fury isn’t messing about. We see a lone German soldier on horseback trotting through a smouldering wasteland only for Brad Pitt’s Wardaddy to leap off a tank and…
DVD Review – Enemy (2015)
Whilst watching Enemy, I had the sneaking suspicion that the review was going to be tougher than usual to assemble. I will say straight off the bat that this film is not for everyone. Whilst…
Blu-ray Review – A Most Wanted Man (2015)
The cold, hard fact that after Mockingjay Part 2 later this year there will be no more Philip Seymour Hoffman performances to enjoy grieves me. The guy was a fantastic actor who gave it his…
Blu-ray Review – The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Yeah, apparently that is how you write the film’s title. I checked. Plus, it makes it easier to differentiate between this one and the 2003 Michael Bay produced rehash which uses the “chainsaw” version. Anyway,…
Blu-ray Review – Godzilla (2014)
I think we can add this Godzilla to the ever-growing list of “films with misleading trailers”. The theatrical trailer seems to advertise a sombre remake of 1954’s original, starring Bryan Cranston and complete with nuclear…
Blu-ray Review – Oculus (2013)
Hopes weren’t high for this one. I mean, a horror film about an evil mirror produced by WWE Studios? Yeah, I think my debit card’s washing its hair that night. In the months since its…
DVD Review – Space Station 76 (2014)
I caught the trailer for Space Station 76 a while ago when randomly browsing. It looked to be a knockabout comedy about a ’70s take on sci-fi, complete with a moustachioed Patrick Wilson as a…
Blu-ray Review – The Raid 2 (2014)
How do you solve a problem like Maria a Raid sequel? It’s a tough one. The first one was basically a feature length action sequence with little story bits inserted to keep the whole thing from being utterly exhausting.…
DVD Review – Need For Speed (2014)
So, Need for Speed didn’t exactly bomb, but certainly underperformed when it was released earlier this year. People have put this down to it being a video game adaptation. I can’t really see that logic…
