  • In my Stephen King reread I've got to The Talisman, a book (as with all on this reread) that I've not read since first published. And I was really looking forward to this one, but for some reason I'm not getting through it very fast. In fact I tend …

  • Psycho II [Arrow Video - blu-ray] 1983, dir. Richard Franklin. Well I saw this on initial release, and then on VHS a short while later and not seen it since. 'It's 22 years later and Norman Bates is coming home'. This is a clever, worthy sequel, wi…
  • Branded to Kill (1967) dir Seijun Suzuki [Arrow Video - blu-ray] Outlaw Gangster VIP (1968) dir Toshio Masuda [Arrow Video -blu-ray boxset 6 films] Bought in the Arrow Video sale (once the site stopped crashing!)

  • Really should have happened when the 9th Doctor regenerated. Maybe there would have been a little less fuss then. Can't believe people are saying they won't watch the show anymore because the Doctor is a woman?! If you are a Dr Who fan then you'll w…

  • Don't care if it is a woman Doctor (it's going to happen sometime), but wether man or woman I just hope that it is someone who's not been 'in the running', someone totally unexpected. Will miss Capaldi though. Not long to wait now…
  • Yasuharu Hasebe's Retaliation (1968) Arrow Video - blu-ray. A fantastic film from the Nikkatsu studio. A yakuza, Jiro Sagae, gets out of prison, finds his 'family' is all but none existent, and is taken on by a rival gang to take over a city, which …

  • Spider Baby (1967) dir. Jack Hill - Arrow Video blu-ray. A crazy horror comedy with Lon Chaney Jr., the impressive Carol Ohmart (should be O-Man!) Sid Haig and others. Part of the film was hard to watch because of sound issues, but a great little cu…
  • LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens - PS3. This is a great fun game, and is certainly better than the film which inspired it! Great graphics, huge playability and easy gameplay. And some truly funny cut-scenes.
  • The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub - my SK reread is going great guns, and I was really looking forward to reading this again after 30-odd years, but at the moment I'm having trouble getting into a groove reading this one - maybe I've rea…

  • For me it would have to be someone else playing Felix - totally miscast IMO. Don't know who they could have got, but there had to be someone with a bit more charisma out there!
  • Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972) dir. Shunya Ito, starring Meiko Kaji. Wow! This was better than I was expecting. Classic slice of Japanese exploration cinema with the beautiful, charismatic Meiko Kaji in one of her iconic roles. This actress s…
  • Pet Sematary by Stephen King - about 34 years since I first (and last) read this. Part of my SK reread marathon, great book, really enjoying it so far (as I knew I would).
  • Having recently watched Lady Snowblood and Blind Woman's Curse, I've fallen in love with Meiko Kaji and so have purchased Female Prisoner Scorpion: The Complete Collection from Arrow Video, blu-ray box set. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
  • Wonder Woman - local cinema. Really enjoyed this super hero film. A nice extended origin story before 'the world of man' intervenes. Gal Gadot is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful eyes and thighs, and totally badass, but also with humanity. Very loud (…

  • Count Arthur Strong - BBC1 - vey amusing sit-com about a wobbly Vaudevillian who can't help getting into trouble. Love this show, but after two episodes there is a hiatus until the 16th June due to some election or something that's happening in the …
  • I think we are all hoping that Moonraker will be the next release. I for one sure am, it's going to look fantastic and so should Gala Brand. Can't wait.
  • Have to say I quite liked Godfather 3, I had heard so much negativity about it I was expecting a real dog, so was pleasantly surprised.
  • Not my favourite Bond, but a great ambassador for Bond and all his charity work. R.I.P.
