Made in 1956 this cousin of the Godzilla movies made by Toho (their first colour movie!) is a nice little monster movie. It carries a cautionary tale of messing with nuclear weapons because they lead to some monster maggots attacking some mines then – everyone gets attacked by Rodan(s). Has some high production values with […]

Ahhh. The Munsters… This is one of my favourite TV shows of all time. Herman is so cool. This DVD has been a long time coming, and they’ve only released season one at the moment. Not a lot of extras, but it does have the 15min pilot that has never aired. Watched the first two […]

Denis Leary plays a NY fireman in this new series. Leary usually delivers the goods (I love his stand up) unless the cast includes Sandra Bullock, luckily she’s not in this and it wasn’t bad. Got a little cheesy re: 9/11 at times, but the scene where he was bribing his kids was great and […]

Sky have kicked off some new series of US dramas, this is season two of Las Vegas – a glitzy show based in a casino. I like this, it follows the Montecino Casino security team and their boss played rather well by James Caan. The most entertaining parts are usually the completely ridiculous technology that […]

Gus Van Sant’s movie about a normal day in a high school that is anything but normal. Based on recent school shootings in the USA this follows life in a school in Portland Oregon. Using steadicam it has great cinematography that follows the kids around the school halls, replaying aspects of the day as various […]

This movie from 1969 is a pretty cool heist movie. I kinda like the 60’s cheesy music, along with everyone smoking and calling each other ‘cat’ but this is also a good story which involves robbing an armoured car in the desert, they actually bury it underground and fool everyone for a while. Lots of […]

This was a two part (3 hour) TV crime drama written by Linda La Plante and starring Amanda Burton. I enjoyed it and thought that the idea of a hacker changing medical records was more creative and scary than the usual hacker stuff. All in all not a bad show. ITV Colour ***

Caught up with this tonight, from Friday – Mr Brown visits the USA to meet various leaders of differing belief systems that range from UFO abductees to Mediums and Christian church leaders. The aim is to see if by using his skills he can fool each one of them into endorsing him. As the show […]
