  • Songs from the Wood - Jethro Tull, 40th Anniversary 'The Country Set' version. Pure, brilliant delight from start to finish.
  • The Traveling Wilburys - Vol 1. Great, fun album. Love it.
  • Carrie (1976) dir. Brian de Palma - Arrow Video blu-ray box set. Another cracking Limited Edition (already sold out) from Arrow, featuring a 4K restoration of the film, archive features ported over from previous issue, couple of new featurettes, dou…

  • Frivolous Lola (1998) dir. Tinto Brass. Arrow Video DVD. Not seen any Brass before (except Caligula back in the day), but was intrigued when I read the essay about this in my Cult Cinema: An Arrow Video Companion book. Seems like some harmless fun w…

  • War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) dir. Matt Reeves. Third in the reboot series, and a cracking good film too. This now completes my apes blu-ray collection.

  • The Day of the Jackal (1973) dir. Fred Zinnemann. Recent Arrow Video blu-ray release. A cracking film (seen it before) based on a brilliant debut novel by Frederick Forsyth. A very tense cat-and-mouse thriller that had a piss-poor remake with Bruce …
  • The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) dir. Jack Arnold. Arrow Video blu-ray. One of my favourite 50s Sci-Fi films gets a HD release. Love this, comes with a documentary on Jack Arnold, a feature with Richard Matheson's son about the writing of the boo…

  • Murder on the Orient Express (2017) dir. Kenneth Branagh. A sumptuous film of one of Agatha Christie's most famous novels. Branagh makes a good Poirot, not Poirot of the books, but then David Suchet has already nailed that so no need to repeat. A gr…

  • The Wild Geese (1978) - Arrow Video blu-ray Django Prepare A Coffin (1968) - Arrow Video blu-ray. Both bought with birthday money. For Arrow releases these are fairly thin on the ground for special features, but looking forward to watching these, t…
