Two great blurays are released on Monday - About Time and Leon. Leon is a modern classic which I saw for the first time a couple of years ago and instantly loved, so this 20th anniversary steelbook is a must-have. And About Time is one of my cinematic highlights of last year. Sure, I didn't… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: About Time and Leon

Christmas shopping in Plymouth
I went Christmas shopping in Plymouth at the weekend. I say Christmas shopping... it was more like shopping at Christmas. I had already bought everything I wanted to get for other people, so when I came across things that I thought people would like I got a bit pissed.

So prepare to cast your peepers over some pretty ask-kicking gifts for… Continue reading Gifts for film buffs
Coming soon to DVD: Miyazaki steelbooks!

Coming soon to DVD: The Great Gatsby
The first time I saw the trailer for The Great Gatsby I knew I had to see it in the cinema. It's one of those films that looks so grand that to see it for the first time on a small screen would almost be cheating. Then the cinema release was delayed. Then I moved… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: The Great Gatsby
