  • Hmm, not too sure about this, looks like a bit of a retread (the meerkat movie's good though), and Elton John FFS! I'll wait till I see some reviews before going.

  • I'll sometimes skip TSWLM when doing a reread of all the Fleming's, but DAF does annoy me in places. Bond is a bit of a doofus in that one. There are things that he should pick up on and doesn't, and when it could be a matter of life or death then h…

  • IT (2017) at my local little cinema. Really enjoyed this version. Bill Skarsgard is a brilliant Pennywise. His first time on screen is very creepy. Also I'm rereading the book at the moment (30 odd years after first reading). This (film) being Chapt…

  • Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood 40th Anniversary The Country Set edition. Another great digibook Tull release with new stereo remix and 5.1 mix, additional material, CD of 1977 concert, DVD of same, magnificently packaged with informative booklet.…
  • The Slayer (1981) dir. J S Cardone. Arrow Video dual edition. Blu-ray watched. This film was caught up in the debacle of 'video nasties' of the early Eighties, and it shouldn't have been really, it isn't a bunch of teens being put to death in new a…
  • Eventually finished The Talisman, fairly tore through Skeleton Crew (short story collection), and am now tackling IT for the first time in 30 years! Can I finished it before the film comes out?…probably not.
  • I've seen a lot worse. I quite like these, especially as they've done something else for the back covers too.
  • Female Prisoner Scorpion: 701's Grudge Song (1973) dir. Yasuharu Hasebe. Fourth and final (of the original Scorpion series) starring Meiko Kaji. Although Shunya Ito wrapped up the series in Beast Stable, the studio wanted one more and Kaji was up fo…

  • Yasuharu Hasabe's Massacre Gun (1967), another great Nikkatsu Noir starring Jo Shishido, in beautiful monochrome widescreen. As with Suzuki's Branded to Kill, this has a jazzy score (not into jazz, but it really suits these two films), and again the…

  • Female Prisoner Scorpion: Beast Stable (1973) dir. Shunya Ito. Third of the FPS films, and one that takes place mainly outside of prison. Nami (Meiko Kaji) on the run from the police befriends sex worker Yuki who is living, and in an incestuous rela…
  • Branded to Kill (1967) dir. Seijun Suzuki. Hitman drama from Nikkatsu studios full of effortless 60s cool and shot in glorious widescreen monochrome. Starring Jo Shishido as No. 3 hitman who gets off on the smell of boiled rice and becomes a target …
  • Dead of Night (1945) Although I've know about this film for most of my adult life, I've never had the chance to see it…until last night that is when it was shown on Talking Pictures TV. This is a great Ealing anthology film, five creepy stories (and…

  • In The Dark [BBC TV] based on the books by Mark Billingham. A four-part drama based [parts 1 & 2] on Time of Death and parts 3 & 4 on In The Dark, umm, this would have been so much better if the four episodes just told the story of Time of D…
  • I found it so jarring on first viewing that I thought there had been an edit to fit it into TV running time! Still find it a bit abrupt.
