4 Stars for a great British flick.
This the story of four lads living in the dead end seaside town of Rainmouth-on-Sea where they try their best to learn how to pull the visiting girls in the arcades and in the local chippy. As per usual, Kev (Luke Pasqualino – Battlestar Galactica, Blood and Chrome) lays out the rules of engagement as if he is…more

This is a fantastic film, well deserving of 5 stars.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, written by Stephen Chbosky (Rent, Jericho).

Watching Piranha on Blu-ray is a highly entertaining and amusing experience and for this reason I have given it 3.5 stars.
Not to be confused with the two remakes (Piranha – 2010 and Piranha 3DD – 2012), this is the original version of the film, first released in 1978, and lovingly converted here to Blu-ray format.
Piranha (1978) is directed by Joe…more

This is a full 4 stars but is not a 5 due to the quagmire trying to explain why you have and don’t have memories of what happens now, but this is Sci-fi, so don’t let that put you off this well acted film especially Pierce Gagnon the young Cid. There is plenty of story and plenty of classic Bruce…more
