BEDEVILLED Blu-ray Review
Put yourself in the mind of Michael Douglas' "D-Fens" character in Falling Down - a man finally pushed to the limit through ever growing, yet often mild irritants in the urban sprawl of LA. Hot, flustered, angry, betrayed, misunderstood. Got... More »

A BAY OF BLOOD Blu-ray Review
Like some deranged, X-rated episode of Miss Marple, Mario Bava's giallo slasher crossover is a gleefully sinister tale where anyone and everyone is a suspect. Beautiful, blackly comic and disturbing it pre-dates the golden era of US slashers that owe... More »
  

BATTLE ROYALE LIMITED EDITION Blu-ray Review
Back in 2000 Battle Royale caused a bit of a stir with its uncompromising take on a Lord of the Flies scenario taking place in a near future Japan. I saw it at the cinema in 2001 and was both... More »
  

A SERBIAN FILM Review
I've long been devoted to the notion that how you watch a film is as important as what you watch. Recommending films to other people is often far trickier than you may have bargained for - what you really... More »
  

DEMONS at Midnight Movies in London!

PEEPING TOM Blu-ray Review
The story of how Peeping Tom (1960) all but ended director Michael Powell's career is a sad one. But there was a silver lining, in the form of a silver haired Martin Scorsese who was instrumental in the reappraisal the... More »

LKFF 2010: THE MAN FROM NOWHERE Review

Not had your fix of arthouse erotica? ROOM IN ROME has arrived on UK DVD and Blu-ray
When Julio Médem arrived on the arthouse film circuit with Vacas (Cows) in 1991, the Basque country director marked himself out with a surreal, political and not exactly easy to access debut. Since then he's perhaps best known for his... More »
  

London 2010: THE AMERICAN review

BORN TO RAISE HELL UK Blu-ray Review
Steven Seagal is... Born To Raise Hell. He's also probably hoping that his cameo in Robert Rodriguez's Machete will drag him out of the interminable straight-to-DVD exile in which he's lurked for many a year. Steven Seagal is... working for... More »

Destroy All Monsters: I Think We've Been This Way Before, Mr. Spock

They can remember it for you wholesale, and they do. At some point, we licensed our pop cultural nostalgia to a handful of multinational conglomerates (well, to be fair, they always owned the licenses) and now they're selling them back to us - though, I guess, not at wholesale, but... More »

Interview: Twitch Talks to HANGOVER III's Ken Jeong

Ken Jeong may often play a lunatic on both big and small screen, but in person it's quite disarming to see just how calm and considerate he comes across. While he got his big screen start in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up, Jeong's real breakthrough was taking a small-on-paper role... More »
