This is a highly entertaining BBC series and I have given it 4.5 stars.

Silver Linings Playbook DVD Release Review *----

Cert 15 | 122 mins

In the spirit of generosity I have given this film 1 star.
For a film which actually won awards, it is almost impossible to find any redeeming features here.
This film is based on the debut novel by Matthew Quick and directed by David O. Russell (Three kings, The Fighter).
The story-line is almost mind mindbogglingly tedious. Although you can just about tell where they are going…more

The Princess Bride 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Release *****

Cert PG | 94 mins

The Princess Bride is a classic fairy tale, originally released in 1987 and lovingly converted here to Blu-ray to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its birth. The re-mastered version is just brilliant, the film doesn’t even really look that dated…more

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: DVD review *****

Cert 12 | 166 mins

If only, (Sighs Deeply) I could give this 1000 out of 5, I would.
5 Star film all the way.
Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings trilogy) is the god of making epics and this first episode of the Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien) is just showing the others how it is done.
(Take notice those thinking of doing Star Wars episodes)
Gandalf (Ian McKellan –…more

The Tall Man Blu-ray and DVD Release Review **---

Oh Dear. I have given this film 1.5 stars.

The Tall Man was written and directed by Pascal Laugier (House Of Voices, Martyrs).
It tells the story of a small town named Cold Rock, whose children are disappearing one by one. Over time, a legend has grown up of a “Tall Man” whom various townsfolk claim to have seen abducting the children.
When her child…more

The Master DVD and Blu-ray Release Review *****

Cert 15 | 131 mins

This an amazing film, 5 stars all the way.
The Master is written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Magnolia) and tells the story of a naval veteran, Freddie Quell (Joaqhin Pheonix – Gladiator, Walk The Line) who returns from his tour of duty uncertain of his place in society, even in the world.
