Outfoxed

Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism. Had this documentary kicking around on DVD for a month or two, what a scary film. Compiled from various footage recorded from the Fox News Network over a few months and shows how they have pretty much eradicated journalism from their output. Some amusing examples as well as some of […]

Frenzy

Spotted this Alfred Hitchcock thriller on Sky Cinema so had to view. John and I enjoyed it – great little thriller but what an amazing example of how times have changed. Some of the early 1970’s attitudes are quite amusing, pretty un-pc and all that. Still has some amazing camera technique as well. Sky Movies […]

Ring

So, nice Sunday afternoon fair if ever there was some. Hideo Nakata’s Ring – the original rather than the Hollywood remake (which wasn’t as bad as it should have been). Cool movie, I’ve watched shelves full of Asian horror films over the last couple of years and along with The Grudge and The Eye this […]

Matrix Revolutions

Finally caught the third part on DVD – had the disc for ages but only just got around to watching. Great quality and sound. “Everything that has a beginning has an end”. Some didn’t like the third part (or the second) but I thought it was ok. They are not as strong as the first […]

Epidemic

Virus movie where the US president gets shot with a dart that unleashes a strain of ebola. Man I love disaster movies! Made for TV, was called conatagion in the usa. Not bad… Sky Movies Colour **

Johnny English

Jake wanted to watch this one so I went with it. Not that bad, although exactly as expected. Some funny moments and then the others. Kinda liked the bit where his tie got stuck in the sushi bar and the tattoo across the A B of C’s butt. Sky Movies Colour 2003 **

The Wolf Man

Oh Larry, Larry, Larry… “Wolves, Gypsies, Murder – what is all this?” I love classic universal movies like this one. Made in 1941 starring Lon Chaney Jr as Larry/The Wolf Man as well as Claude Rains and also Bela Lugosi. It’s a great film full of atmosphere – Jake and I were most impressed with […]

A Night at the Opera

I bought a Marx Brothers DVD box set during the sale at the Virgin Megastore in Sheffield yesterday. I have seen some of their movies over the years but wanted to look a little closer and all that. This is the first one and was created in 1935 – it has stood the test of […]
