  • Manic Cop (1988) dir. William Lustig. Arrow Video blu-ray. A recent present, and was in the mood for an 80's slasher/thriller. Quite a good little film, not as extreme as one would imagine given the cover art/title, but I've seen a lot worse. Holds …

  • LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Another great LEGO game, and one that is a great leap forward from the previous Batman game. Loved playing this, have done the story mode, now need to explore Gotham City and some freeplay to get Gold Bricks, Red Bric…
  • Saw TLJ recently…and what can I say (I'm not a big fanboy of SW, but like the first two [SW and TESB] well enough) but this kind of left me wanting. I know it's the middle part of a trilogy but it just didn't seem to go anywhere. Glad I saw it on th…
  • Desperate Remedies - Thomas Hardy (1871) in 2017 I did a Stephen King reread, (along with other books) and got to The Tommyknockers [which I didn't finish] and 2018 is going to be a Thomas Hardy reread. I've not read these books since I first came a…
  • The Last Jedi (2017)…mm, not sure what to make of this. I didn't like The Farce Awakens (and I do mean farce) as I thought it was just a retread and became very bored with it by the last 20 mins. This being the middle part of the third trilogy feels…

  • A few years ago I read a brilliant book by Ben Macintyre, Operation Mincemeat about an intelligence plot during WWII to supply the Germans with misinformation about landings in Greece instead of Sicily. Decades before, the film The Man Who Never Was…

  • Not bought, but had as a Christmas present, two additions to my ever-growing collection of Arrow Video releases. Coffy (1973) dir. Jack Hill, Pam Grier as a badass vigilante; and Manic Cop (1988) dir. William Lustig, 80's slasher! Not seen either of…

  • I often wonder what it would have been like if the director's job had been given to a Japanese director. Maybe a Yasuharu Hasebe or a Seijun Suzuki type, both working in the Nikkatsu Action Cinema genre at the time. Would be interesting I think.

  • Outlaw: Heartless (1968) dir. Mio Ezaki. Third of six films in the Outlaw: Gangster VIP series released between May 1968 and March 1969. Starring Tetsuya Watari as real-life yakuza Goro Fujita. These are gritty, violent dramas and a great watch. Gor…
  • LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes - this is a quantum leap from the first Batman game. The first (I think) LEGO game with voice actors and not just sounds, (the Joker is excellent), great graphics, funny cut scenes (Robin fanboying over Superman) and g…

  • Nikkatsu Diamond Guys Vol. 1 - dual format. Another Arrow Video release, this one limited to 3000 copies and only a few left. So with my Arrow points I purchased this set of three films from Nikkatsu studios. Films are: Voice Without a Shadow; Red P…
