  • @DarthDimi - IT is a cracking read, especially the stuff with the kids set in the 50s. And may I point you in the direction of Different Seasons a collection of four novellas, two of which have been turned into quite successful films and one interes…
  • @DarthDimi - so your first King was a Bachman! The four early Bachman's (before Bachman was outted as King with Thinner) are all well worth a read, though these days you can't get Rage because of its subject matter. You'll find The Running Man is wa…
  • The Man Who Haunted Himself - Network Distribution [The British Film] - dual format blu-ray/dvd. Associated British Productions presents An Excalibur Films Production. This is a great little thriller made at the ass-end of the 60s (released in Feb…

  • Mr Holmes - local cinema - what a great little movie. Lovely direction, photography, story and of course acting. So nice to see a film that does't have a cut every two seconds, ott music score and shed-loads of cgi. Ian McKellen is of course superb,…
  • Ah, us oldies call 'em Turntables!
  • @Boldfinger - pretty damn sure about the - (dash), hence Blu-Ray Disc is usually BD and BRD, like DVD! What's a record player?!

  • @fire_and_ice, grain should be visible, for without grain there is no picture, unfortunately a lot of transfers suffer from DNR which gives a 'waxy' look, I much prefer the grain of an original image. This was very noticeable in a recent purchase, Y…

  • @Soundofthesinners I have to say I was let down with YOLT when I first saw it (on telly in the 70s) as I had read the book several times. I was like where's Blofeld's Garden of Death, Irma Bunt, the Castle etc. I thought the killing off of Aki was a…
  • Actually @boldfinger, it's called BLU-RAY!

  • http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71c06DQ9VpL._SL1081_.jpg From Network DVD, The Man Who Haunted Himself - dual format. Haven't seen this since the early 70s in the cinema, looking forward to receiving it. Hurry up Postie!

  • Just started Scott Mariani's 11th Ben Hope thriller, The Martyr's Curse. Only a hundred pages in and already looking like classic Hope!

  • @bondjames - have to disagree there. I don't find her attractive in this film, she was great and sexy in The Wicker Man, but here she just leaves me sort of meh. And of course her character was a complete no-hoper.

  • A word about Goldfinger. This was my first Bond, and got me started on this long road, but, to me, it is not the best Bond (FRWL and OHMSS beat it all to hell), but as it was my first it does have a special place in my heart. But it is the film wher…
