undefined review of Iron Man 2 - Jon Favreau [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Had the first and third Iron Man film along with both Avengers films! Brought this to complete the Iron Man trilogy. It's not often that a sequel is better than the original but in this case I preferred this sequel. Iron Man is frustratingly arrogant as always and to me he's an anti-hero. Nice slipcover and happy to recommend with a 8 out of 10

undefined review of Aquaman - James Wan [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Aquaman isn't all dumb fighting and arguing among sea-guys. The movie's biggest selling points are its affable, bear-hug spirit and its lavish, loopy visuals. Really should have purchased on Blu Ray. Happy to recommend with 8 out of 10

Aquaman - James Wan [DVD]

undefined review of Wasteland, Baby! - Hozier [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Another cracking album, with a fair few anthems. Takes a few listens for the songs to grow on you, but they are, as usual, beautifully crafted lyrics, littered with reference and meaning, and immersive in their delivery. Happy to recommend with 8 out 10

Wasteland, Baby! - Hozier [CD]

undefined review of The Hunt - Craig Zobel [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

While the purpose of The Hunt might be lost, the humor and action is easily found. There is a lot of fun to be had with these idiotic characters (on both sides) and the gruesome, sometimes, shocking deaths they experience. Really enjoyed this movie and happy to recommend with 8 out 10

The Hunt - Craig Zobel [DVD]

undefined review of Use Your Illusion II - Guns N' Roses [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This album is just full of great songwriting, guitar solos and vocals and it is a must-hear for any Guns N' Roses/hardrock/music fan, as it is a fantastic album with a variety of genres of songs. Happy to recommend with 8 out of 10

Use Your Illusion II - Guns N’ Roses [CD]

undefined review of To Be Loved - Michael Bublé [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Michael Buble is one of the most successful male vocalists on the planet. There is no doubting his vocal ability and it's on full display throughout this album. The Big Band orchestration and production is polished and of the highest quality. Happy to recommend with 7 out of 10

To Be Loved - Michael Bublé [CD]

undefined review of Up to Now: The Best of Snow Patrol - Snow Patrol [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This 2CD compilation contains all the hits 'Run', 'Chocolate' 'Chasing Cars' and lesser known classics such as 'Set The Fire To The Third Bar' and 'The Golden Floor'. For anyone that doesn't own any of the bands back catalogue this is a great introduction at great value. Highly recommended by a great band. Happy to recommend with 8 out of 10

Up to Now: The Best of Snow Patrol - Snow Patrol [CD]

undefined review of Decade in the Sun: Best of Stereophonics - Stereophonics [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Never really listened to the Stereophonics that much, only knew Maybe Tomorrow, Have A Nice Day and Dakota. But buying this and discovering the other songs that are on this, there is some real bangers! If you want a good introduction into this band, this is the CD to buy! Happy to recommend with 7 out of 10

Decade in the Sun: Best of Stereophonics - Stereophonics [CD]

undefined review of X: Wembley Edition - Ed Sheeran [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Fantastic cd I really like Ed Sheeran and I like the fact that he Can genuinely sing! I find his cd really easy to listen too. My favourite song on the album has to be 'I See Fire'.Which I could listen to all day. happy to recommend with a 8 out of 10

X: Wembley Edition - Ed Sheeran [CD]

undefined review of Passengers - Morten Tyldum [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

It's rare for being good sci fi that doesn't involve zapping things with ray guns. It's a story about how technology sometimes puts people in impossible situations that no human has ever been faced with before. Really enjoyed this movie and happy to recommend with a 7 out of 10

Passengers - Morten Tyldum [DVD]

undefined review of Wild - Jean-Marc Vallée [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

At its core, it's actually about a woman coming to terms with her tragic past, including the death of her beloved mother, and figuring out how to forge a future for herself. Really enjoyed this movie and happy to recommend with 8 out 10

Wild - Jean-Marc Vallée [DVD]

undefined review of Ocean's 8 [DVD] - Gary Ross image 1 out of 1

J. B.

It may not be as good as Oceans 11 but it's still a fun movie experience featuring terrific, witty performances from its A-list cast. Happy to recommend with 7 out of 10

Ocean’s 8 [DVD] - Gary Ross

undefined review of War Dogs - Todd Phillips image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Don't expect anything special or some eye-opening revelation. War Dogs shouldn't come as a surprise. Just enjoy the cautionary tale of this crazy journey and the brilliant performance by Jonah Hill. The packaging of the DVD coming with a nice orange case. Happy to recommend with 7 out of 10

War Dogs - Todd Phillips

undefined review of All the Money in the World - Ridley Scott [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

All the Money in the World manages to be a gripping thriller, a family drama, and a study of the pursuit of wealth with each component just as strong as the last. Really enjoyed the movie from start to finish, Christopher Plummber steals the show with a great performance having replaced Kevin Spacey and reshot all his parts. Happy to recommend with a 8 out of 10

All the Money in the World - Ridley Scott [DVD]

undefined review of Hotel Artemis - Drew Pearce [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Hotel Artemis is one of those films that is well-crafted on all levels, from the acting to the décors to the fight sequences to the way its shot to everything else. It's highly entertaining and shows great talent from all involved. Jodie Foster is particularly good in the lead role. Happy to recommend with 7 out of 10

Hotel Artemis - Drew Pearce [DVD]

undefined review of Life - Daniel Espinosa [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

If you can forgive some of the reliance on genre familiarities, Life is the perfect popcorn movie , which will keep you intrigued, frightened and disgusted throughout, with a truly spectacular and jaw-dropping finale. Happy to recommend with a 8 out of 10

Life - Daniel Espinosa [DVD]

undefined review of Batman: Original Soundtrack - Prince [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

I remember back in the day I hated this album. But thirty years later, having got into "late" Prince including the Rainbow Children and Emancipation, I can listen with fresher ears. In fact it sounds a lot like the Black Album, one of my favourite Prince CDs. Maybe about three essential tracks and a few fillers, but better than I remember! Happy to recommend with a 8 out of 10

Batman: Original Soundtrack - Prince [CD]

undefined review of Heaven & Hell - AVA MAX [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Numerous exceptionally strong tracks throughout the album (yes, I'm old school). Catchy hooks with exception use of bridges. A story is told throughout the album as you transition from heaven to hell. All tracks are compositionally strong, the rest is down to taste. Happy to recommend with 8 out of 10

Heaven & Hell - AVA MAX [CD]

undefined review of Bang!...: The Greatest Hits of Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Frankie Goes to Hollywood [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood was one of the very best bands of the 1980s. The band only released a couple of albums, then it split... but its music still lives on, or rather has been revived with a BANG! release, and this is well-deserved. So even though Frankie Say... No More, Frankie still say a lot! Happy to recommend this released Remaster with 8 out of 10

Bang!...: The Greatest Hits of Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Frankie Goes to Hollywood [CD]

undefined review of The Purge - James DeMonaco [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

While The Purge can be compared to plenty of other movies about families under siege, this a good movie good at with good suspense and keeping the action going throughout it duration. The original movie for me is still the best, can recommend with a 7 out of 10

The Purge - James DeMonaco [BLU-RAY]

B. M.

A great shopping experience had, good to see the vinyl collection growing will be back again soon to purchase more of my favourites as well as new title's to expand my range.

undefined review of Skyscraper - Rawson Marshall Thurber image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This movie is a success in delivering a well-made escape that locks you in your seat and gives you a slap on the back as it says 'enjoy the ride.' The Rock always delivers in this type of movie, good funny if you leave you brain take a holiday for 90mins, can recommend with a 7 out of 10.

Skyscraper - Rawson Marshall Thurber

undefined review of Spider-Man - Far from Home - Jon Watts [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This film has the best Spider-Man scene that has ever been filmed. It's not just visually stunning, but emotionally charged like no other. It's really enjoyable and the ending sets up the next instalment.... can recommend with a 7 out of 10

Spider-Man - Far from Home - Jon Watts [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Split - M. Night Shyamalan [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Split departs from anything writer/director M. Night Shyamalan has done before, bringing an honestly thrilling story to life, with one of his best twists since The Sixth Sense. James McAvoy is excellent in the lead role. Can recommend with a 8 out 10, very enjoyable

Split - M. Night Shyamalan [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of The Mummy - Alex Kurtzman [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

undefined review of Alien: Covenant - Ridley Scott [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

As a fan of the Alien series of movies.... seeing the facehuggers once again was great, which Scott decided to reintroduce here, felt like greeting an old friend. The movie is really enjoyable and the end sets up a storyline for the third movie in this trilogy. Can recommend with a 7 out of 10.

Alien: Covenant - Ridley Scott [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Let Him Go - Thomas Bezucha [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Let Him Go plays on Kevin Costner's western movie history while also letting women take the lead for once. Its unrelentingly sad story delivers the goods when it needs to. Really did enjoy this movie from start to finish. Can recommend this movie 8 out 10

Let Him Go - Thomas Bezucha [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Us - Jordan Peele [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

It doesn't pack the psychological punch of Get Out, but Us confirms that Jordan Peele's phenomenal debut film was no fluke. There is a lot of twists and turns in the movie that don't made a lot of sense at time, but it is still a really enjoyable original horror movie, can recommend with a 7 out of 10

Us - Jordan Peele [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Batman: The Long Halloween - Part Two - Chris Palmer [Blu-ray] image 1 out of 1

S. K.

Got this as part of the 2 for €20 deal which I have to say is great value. Arrived pretty quickly as well. Movie itself is excellent but the experience was somewhat spoiled by the lack of outer sleeve on the disc. The 1st part had one so it kinda spoils the look on the shelf. Picky I know but when your a collector it’s important.
