  • After 'rescuing' a box of early Stephen King's books from the attic of my house (where I no longer live) I've started to re-read them. Carrie - fantastic start to a brilliant career! And have just started 'Salem's Lot, as with the first 5 King's I…

  • @ClarkDevlin - yes, supposedly based on newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. Rosebud the name of (spoiler) Kane's sledge was apparently the moniker WRH gave to his wife's lady parts!
  • Yeah, well I heard that EON are going with a stunt guy and are going to Mo-Cap Sean Connery's face onto him.
  • Recently re-watched The Omega Man, and would love a copy of Soylent Green on blu, though my DVD is quite good enough for now. Back when Sci-Fi was for gown-ups, i.e. BSW.
  • @BrtadyM)Bondfanatic7, Voldermort tried to kill Harry, but the curse backfired and Voldemort was no more! That's how Harry, indeed a babe-in-arms 'defeated' Tom Riddle.
  • The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) blu-ray. Not too sure about this film. We don't actually get UNCLE until a throwaway line at the end! Henry Cavill gives us another masterclass in cardboard cutout acting (though prefer him in this than Man of Shite) a…
  • The Secret Agent - BBC tv. Three part drama based on Joseph Conrad's novel. With Toby Jones as Verloc. This was filmed by Hitchcock [as Sabotage - he'd used The Secret Agent title previously for a film based on Somerset Maugham's Ashenden stories] b…
  • The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies - Extended Edition - blu-ray The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - blu-ray, not sure about this one, it was fairly cheap so lets hope it's not too much of a turkey!
  • Thunderpussy wrote: » In "Flatline" I thought the 2d creatures very scary. People being pulled into walls becoming Graffiti. Agree. Best story of that series.
  • Although I don't remember it with the crystal clear clarity that some do, I do remember being terrified by The Web of Fear, and it was so great to be able to see that again on DVD. The Cybermen (Troughton era being the best) were the scariest monst…

  • The Ends of The Earth - Robert Goddard. Third in the Wide World trilogy. Following the adventures of James 'Max' Maxted during 1919.

  • Agatha Christie's Marple: Toward Zero (2006) Another cracking episode featuring the brilliant Geraldine McEwan. Very special episode for me this, as it was filmed in the town I was born and brought up in, Salcombe in Devon. Some bits were shot in pl…
  • Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation - blu-ray. Really enjoyed this instalment of the MI films. Cruise still knocking out of the park, and Rebecca Ferguson is an absolute delight. Shame I missed this in the cinema.
