‘Orange is the New Black: Season 2’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

There are moments in Orange is the New Black: Season Two where I thought to myself “oh I hate what you are doing here, don’t make her do that!” I almost hated the writers.  This sounds bad I know, but then you have to think, exactly what did they do to make me think so […]

‘Grindhouse Trailer Classics 4’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

Don’t you just love Grindhouse trailers? After Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez made them popular again with the inclusion of some fake ones with their Grindhouse movie it reminded people just how silly they were, and how badly made they could be.  Now with Grindhouse Trailer Classics 4 we have another collection of trailers for […]

‘CSI: Complete Season 13’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

CSI: Miami and CSI: New York are no more, soon we’ll have CSI:Cyber but who would have thought that we would still have CSI: Las Vegas? When reviewing CSI: Complete Season 13 the most noticeable thing is it is a show that survives not only by pure popularity, but that it constantly adapts itself, never letting itself […]

‘The Complete Dr. Phibes’ Blu-ray Review (Arrow Video)

by Paul Metcalf

Horror tends to come in many forms, but it can be truly at its best when something so offbeat comes along that feels truly original. The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rides Again make up Arrow Video’s new Blu-ray collection The Complete Dr. Phibes and manage to have this feel. These are two movies […]

‘True Blood: The Complete Sixth Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

It always feels strange when we know that a TV show is coming to an end.  Much like with Dexter and its final season we know season seven of True Blood is the conclusion of the tale of Sookie Stackhouse and Bill the Vampire, but will we miss them? In preparation for the start of […]

‘The Wolf Among Us Chapter 4: In Sheeps Clothing’ Review (Xbox 360)

by Paul Metcalf

After the battle of A Crooked Mile, Bigby is in bad shape, this leads to a very painful scene where he needs some major fixing, something the gamer takes part in, in a scene that will make you cringe.   We now know who the enemy is and have an idea of what we have to […]

‘Lost Girl: The Complete Fourth Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

When I start a Lost Girl review (check out my season 3 review here) I always want to compare it to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Bo is a fantasy character easily comparable to Buffy in favourable ways, but I’d argue that as a show like Lost Girl should really be looked at on its own […]

‘Godzilla: The Official Movie Novelisation’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Written by Greg Cox | Published by Titan Books | Format: Paperback, 320pp It’s fair to say that Godzilla has been a success on the big screen, especially based on the fact it already has two sequels confirmed.  It’s all about the spectacle of seeing the huge monster do battle, to hear his roar as he announces […]

‘WWE: The John Cena Experience’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

Anybody who reads my WWE reviews know that I’m not a Cena fan.  When I write them though one thing I do is to not let my opinion on him bias my view on the actual release, I will mention if his performance affected the match for me, but I will also point out if […]

Review: The Walking Dead – Season 2 Episode 3 (Xbox 360)

by Paul Metcalf

The Walking Dead Season 2 – Episode 3: In Harm’s Way has finally changed the way I make decisions with Clementine.  I can’t really point out what caused this because that would be obvious spoilers but In Harm’s Way is an episode that is deceptively slow and much more discussion intensive than earlier episodes.  The fact […]
