39 classic episodes...

Advantages: 39 episodes in one place, classic television
Disadvantages: Addictive

Alfred Hitchcock Presents… Season One This box set includes 6 discs from the first Season, which aired in 1955. Watching every single episode in this box set will take up 16 hours of time. I remember Alfred Hitchcock presents from the remakes in the 80s. When I spotted this box set I decided to buy it as the 1950's originals held more appeal for me. These episodes are classics and in my opinion better than the remakes. Each episode is introduced ...
...that you will recognise including Alfred Hitchcock's daughter. The acting is very good. The episodes are in black and white but I think this works better. It's a classic. The box set does not contain any extras, just literally the 6 discs and the titles of the episode behind the front cover. Still, it's worth the money and definitely worth buying. Looking forward to Season Two being released soon. Just for your information, here are the list of ...

A Glitch in Time

Advantages: Stylish and cleverly-plotted, an excellent blend of science-fiction and thriller.
Disadvantages: Minimal.

...the verdant woodland of Cantabria, Timecrimes follows two extraordinary hours in the life of Hector, who has just moved into a new house with his wife, Clara. Taking a break from packing, Hector is reclining in his garden with a pair of binoculars when he spots a distressed young woman undressing in the nearby woods.

...cover) and seeks refuge in a silo attached to a nearby property. So far, so conventionally madman-in-the-woods horror. Here, though, the film takes a turn for the much more intriguing. A scientist working in the silo encourages Hector to hide in a vat where his pursuer 'will never think to look.' Fearing he has little choice but to follow, Hector allows his newfound ally to shut him in. When the vat is reopened moments later, he is disturbed to find ...

Review of Heat (DVD)

Dennis Quaid Meets Saw?

Advantages: good acting, a new take on gore
Disadvantages: a little bit 'too hostel' for me if you know what I mean...

Horsemen is 2009's answer to what you get when you combine a little hostel, a little saw and a little biblical reference - which you can probably guess from the title 'Horsemen' - the four horsemen of the apocalypse. This was a film I was actually looking forward to seeing and I wasn't disapointed but I don't rate it as one of my favourites however I do reccomend it to those of you that are a fan of cult films, crime thrillers and gorefests. The ...
...secrets - adds a little depth to the film title and the plot centres around Aiden Breslin (Quaid) some kind of forensic detective that specialises in, well, teeth by the looks of it. Anyway, like most violent focused films the plot is very obvious although it is quite linear and straightforward. No complicated twists here, so great for a night in with the girls/guys. Character Performances Whilst this is far from Quaid's best performance he ...
