‘Birdemic: Shock and Terror’ Blu-ray Review (Severin)

by Paul Metcalf

Stars: Alan Bagh, Whitney Moore | Written and Directed by James Nguyen There are films that can be called “so bad they are good” and other bad films that are funny to watch for all the wrong reasons… What camp does Birdemic: Shock and Terror sit in? That’s for you to decide. With a story […]

‘Layers of Fear’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

In my Early Access (P)review of Layers of Fear I found it to be an atmospheric game that had potential. I also compared it to P.T as it obviously uses that game as an inspiration for some of the things we see in the game. Now ready for release as a full game, is it […]

‘Firewatch’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

Firewatch may be described as a walking simulator. Some may even say that as something of an insult. But the fact is, this game is more of a hiking (or orienteering) simulator that tells a story… A story that is well worth experiencing. The best way to play Firewatch, as with many games of this […]

‘Street Fighter V’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

So Street Fighter V is finally out and when the servers are up we’ve all been playing it. You’d have to be hidden under a rock not to know about the lack of an arcade mode, and restricted Story Mode so is it worth playing now? Here are my thoughts. I’m not a social gamer, […]

‘NCIS New Orleans: The Complete First Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

The second spin-off from NCIS (and technically the third from JAG – which is where the original NCIS series was spun out of), NCIS New Orleans is a very different beast to its predecessors. Whereas the first show was a stoic, patriotic series; and the second was more action and comedy orientated; this third entry […]

‘Five Dolls for an August Moon’ Blu-ray Review (Arrow Video)

by Paul Metcalf

When we think about Italian horror one of the master,s and arguably the best, would be Mario Bava. Even his lesser films have a certain style that make them still enticing to the viewer, and Five Dolls for an August Moon is a good example of that. Just how does this oddity fair with Arrow […]

‘LEGO Marvel’s Avengers’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

When it comes to LEGO games they are pretty reliable. They have that humour that we can expect, they understand the audience they are catering for and they know how to treat the licenses they are entrusted with well… Which is exactly what they have done with LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. While we’ve seen Marvel characters […]

‘Nikkatsu Diamond Guys: Volume 1’ Blu-ray Review

by Paul Metcalf

When it comes to a name for a collection of movies, you have to admit that Nikkatsu Diamond Guys Volume 1 sounds pretty cool. Featuring three films with three iconic action film actors this is a release that just oozes style… The connection between the three movies is not surprisingly the gangster lifestyle. The first […]

Royal Rumble 2016 – Our Predictions

by Paul Metcalf

So, tonight is the Royal Rumble and we are all likely to be annoyed with the way the big match will end. We’ve all watched it over the years and we know that WWE has plans that will run up to Wrestlemania. While the biggest event of the year often ends on a high the […]

Watching WWE: Best PPV Matches 2015 the hope is to see the big fights from the WWE, and for us to have a year in review. What we get is exactly that, a year in which WWE showed a need for a revolution, and not only in the Diva division… At the beginning of the […]

‘True Detective: The Complete 2nd Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

The level of hype around True Detective: The Complete Second Season means it had a huge job to do. The first season created something special with the relationship between Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, and created a mythology. Where the second season fails is that it totally forgets that altogether… While calling it a failure […]

‘Arne Dahl: The Complete Second Season’ Review

When I got Arne Dahl: The Complete Second Season to review, I hoped that I’d be able to pick up the show without having to watch the first season. Luckily this is the case, and I was introduced to another good dose of Nordic Noir… Arne Dahl follows the A Unit, a group of elite police […]

‘WWE Hell in a Cell 2015’ Blu-ray Review

by Paul Metcalf

Older wrestling fans remember Hell in a Cell fondly. It used to be the cage that saw the debut of Kane, that Mick Foley threw himself off (and through) all the time, and of course The Undertaker made iconic. Now, as we arrive at WWE’s Hell in a Cell 2015 it is just another name […]

‘Peep Show: Series Nine’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

If I ever had a problem with Peep Show, it is that the characters aren’t particularly nice people. They like to think they are, particularly Mark (David Mitchell) with his snobbish selfish view on life and Jeremy (Robert Webb) …who is just Jeremy. In the end for me it’s the people like Super Hans (Matt […]
