  • My old friend @peter sent me the link so had to just pop back and say, Zimmer has brought it. Just on my first listen I'm calling this the best score since TLD, it's that good.
  • If people can't see our rights being eroded bit by bit then they are naive and blind. Laws being enacted to stop people from protesting properly, the right to object, especially with such a right wing government with frightening powers, sorry but…

  • I don't think we can judge Fiennes on SP being is first fully fledged film as M, though he was far from dull in SF as Mallory. He showed such promise there, made you think he'd be fantastic in SP yet like the cast he was shackled with a terrible …

  • I'm pretty happy with TFC on Blu-ray myself, I'm certainly not replacing everything in the format, I have 300+ Blu-ray's and currently over 50 4K UHD's. It will take some proper favourites for me to upgrade in most cases, new titles I will get on…
  • While I'll agree SF & SP looked the best in comparison to the Blu-ray. I liked the look of both CR & QOS, it isn't night and day but still looked pretty vibrant on my 55" OLED. I've heard a lot of people are not impressed what Jackson …

  • I've just watched Casino, oh my god reference quality, Robert Richardson's cinematography pops more than anytime since I saw it at the cinema. I do still think Goodfellas is superior but the margin is slim and this is still another masterpiece f…
  • Can't say I have had any issues with my LG 4K Player, 4K UHD, Panasonic OLED set up. Watched the new Studio Canal 4K UHD of Escape From New York last night, the detail was astounding, the film has never looked this good, the fact the blacks are s…
