undefined review of Avengers Assemble - Joss Whedon [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The Avengers Assembled begins with a bang and builds from there, a thrill ride peppered with Whedon's trademark self-aware humor. It's fun to watch all these egos clash, especially Downey, who just owns the Tony Stark role. It's a really great starting point movie to the 4 movie saga. Happy to recommend this movie with a 8 out of 10

undefined review of Blade Runner 2049 - Denis Villeneuve [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Unlike the original film, where the "romance" feels like a product of Deckard's dehumanized relationship with Replicants, the romance between Ryan Gosling's K and Ana de Armas' Joi, both machines, feels real and keeps the film intriguing. The visuals of future Los Angeles are breathtaking, Brilliant movie, happy to recommend with a 9 out of 10

This a absolutely brilliant soundtrack for anyone that was in their teen year during the mid 1970's, with music from The Who, Led Zeppelin, Lou Reed and David Bowie to name just a few. This two CD set comes with a really nice booklet with some great pictures of cast and crew during the filming of the movie. Will be play repeatedly, happy to give it a 10 out of 10

undefined review of Wanted On Voyage - George Ezra [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Wanted on Voyage is a twelve track album that George Ezra wrote while taking a train tour across Europe, making up songs about the things he had seen and conversations he had heard. Can't recommend this album highly enough, just brilliant can recommend with 10 out of 10

At San Quentin - Johnny Cash [VINYL]

undefined review of Spartacus - Stanley Kubrick [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The great-granddaddy of Ridley Scott's Gladiator hasn't lost any muscle tone after nearly half a century, and Kirk Douglas's direct, unpretentious performance as the great slave-rebel Spartacus is more engaging than ever. Please note that I got he 55th anniversary extended cut Blu Ray from Golden Discs. The movie look and sounds brilliant. This is a must own movie, happy to recommend with a 10 out of 10

Spartacus - Stanley Kubrick [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of The Wolf of Wall Street - Martin Scorsese [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Film is really long, but all the performances are brilliant from DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughty. Not to mention that this madness is based on the true story of Jordan Belfort. It's so outrageous you would swear it wasn't real! But it is! This is a must own Blu Ray, recommended with a 9 out of 10

The Wolf of Wall Street - Martin Scorsese [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Gladiator - Ridley Scott image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Ridley Scott takes an age-old formula and utilises it remarkably well, enhancing but never over-doing it with digital effects that help raise the ruins of the Colosseum and capture the magnificence and casual brutality of the culture. This remastered Blu Ray looks and sounds brilliant and the second disc has enough features to keep any fan of the movie happy. This is a must own Blu Ray, recommended with a 9 out of 10

Gladiator - Ridley Scott

undefined review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Peter Jackson image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The Desolation of Smaug is much better than its predecessor, and is one of the best film of the trilogy. The special effects are magnificent especially the CGI work accomplished with the Smaug character is incredible. This 2 two disc edition sold by Golden Discs has lots of special features to keep any fan of middle earth happy. Recommended with a 8 out of 10

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Peter Jackson

undefined review of Logan Lucky - Steven Soderbergh [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Logan Lucky is pure redneck genius and Daniel Craig delivers an absurdly awesome performance that is one of the most memorably comical of his career. The movie is a great mix of action and comedy, very good movie, can recommend with a 8 out of 10

Logan Lucky - Steven Soderbergh [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of The Matrix - The Wachowskis [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The Matrix is a movie experience like no other, and experience is what it's all about. It explodes with dazzling visuals and a transcendent sense of excitement. The movie standing alone is a great movie but sets up the starting point for a great trilogy. This is a must own movie on Blu-Ray with the original cover art. Can recommend highly with a 10 out of 10

The Matrix - The Wachowskis [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Between Us - Little Mix [Colour VINYL] image 1 out of 1

I. D.

Such a beautiful album, I did receive two yellow discs. No skips (records are in perfect playing condition, slight warping but that happens), shipping was pretty quick to the US. I definitely recommend buying if you’re a little mix fan. Would buy from this business again.

undefined review of Skool Luv Affair - BTS [CD Special Edition] image 1 out of 1

I was waiting for this album for the past 2 years and when they finally decided to re-release it I was extatic, more so because I could order it from Irish retailer!!! It was quick, easy and much cheaper than shipping it from Asia- thank you Golden Disc!

Such a well-made album that experiments with different genres but maintains a cohesive theme and message!! I loved it and I'll definitely be ordering BTS's new album, BE, from Golden Discs as well!

MAP of the SOUL: 7 (Version 1): - BTS [CD]

G. C.

I had a great experience with Golden Discs, my album was in perfect condition when I got it! So happy to be able to buy BTS albums in Ireland, thank you :) The album itself covers many different genres and really exhibits BTS' production and lyric-writing abilities, I would recommend anyone to listen to it at least once!

L. A.

I was lucky enough to view some excellent samples of this product on a recent trip to London. My only regret is there doesn’t appear to be any date sited for a U. S. release.

Talented, brilliant, incredible, Amazing, showstopping, Spectacular, Never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a sh*t on it, vomit on it, give birth to it.

undefined review of Thor: Ragnarok - Taika Waititi [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Firstly, Thor ragnorak is Visually stunning, full of vibrant special effects and great cinematography. In my view Thor Ragnorak is one of the stronger Marvel adaptations and certainly the strongest Thor movie, a must see for all marvel fans! Nice slipcover and happy to recommend with a 9 out of 10

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

J. B.

It's widely beleived by rock critics that if Guns N' Roses combined the best material from Use Your Illusion I & II onto just one record it would have created one of the greatest rock albums of our time. Use Your Illusion I' is the heavier of the two albums. Happy to recommend with 9 out of 10

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

undefined review of GIMME SOME TRUTH.: - John Lennon [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

A fabulous cd of John’s greatest solo hits slightly remastered by Yoko and his son Sean.Great to hear these songs on would have been his 80th Birthday. This CD is a must buy for any Beatles / Lennon fan. Happy to recommend with 10 out of 10

GIMME SOME TRUTH.: - John Lennon [CD]

undefined review of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This was the album that made a huge star out of David Bowie in 1972 and introduced his Ziggy Stardust persona in the process. Every track is a classic and there are no duff tracks on the album at all. This is still his finest album of the 1970s, in my opinion and only 1980's Scary Monsters album matched it. Bowie didn't get much better than this. Happy to recommend with a 10 out of 10

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie [CD]

undefined review of Gimme Some Wine: - Eleanor McEvoy [CD] image 1 out of 1

S. H.

Album arrived in Anglesey today in perfect condition. Three familiar tracks from the direct cut vinyl, Forgotten Dreams. The stand out tracks for me at the moment are South Anne St, reflective and nostalgic, followed by the uplifting romp through Gimmie Some Wine. Another very fine addition to my EM collection.

Gimme Some Wine: - Eleanor McEvoy [CD]

undefined review of Hit - Peter Gabriel [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This is a really good CD for both collectors of Peter Gabriel and fans, but also for people new to his music as it contains all his greatest hits on disc 1 and some other less commercial songs on disc 2. It is really well produced and full of good tunes. Happy to recommend with 8 out 10

Hit - Peter Gabriel [CD]

undefined review of Logan - James Mangold [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Logan presents us with a dark, devastating final journey for one of cinema's most enduring comic book characters. Though it is undoubtedly bleak, there are also moments of much-needed warmth, and ultimately a sense of hope resonates. Should have purchased on Blu Ray (still might). Happy to recommend with 8 out of 10

Logan - James Mangold [DVD]

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

J. B.

Perhaps what gives The Conjuring its pulse is the decision to tell the story from the point of view of the investigators -- giving the film a much-needed human layer. Please note the DVD I got from Golden Discs comes with a nice Slip Cover. Happy to recommend with 8 out of 10

The Conjuring - James Wan [DVD]

undefined review of The Last Samurai - Edward Zwick [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The Last Samurai, 2003, delivers in ways that would have made even Akira Kurosawa himself proud. It's a really good movie and the landscapes of New Zealand's North Island looks absolutely beautiful. Really Enjoyable can recommend with a 8 out of 10

The Last Samurai - Edward Zwick [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of V for Vendetta - James McTeigue [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

V for Vendetta remains just as thought-provoking as ever and stands out as a highlight to the Wachowski's ability to write scenes that delight, thrill, and frighten almost all at once. This is a great movie and can recommend it with a 9 out of 10

V for Vendetta - James McTeigue [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Argo - Ben Affleck [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Not only that Argo is both intelligent and entertaining, it's riveting from start to finish. Note that this Blu Ray from Golden Discs is actually the extended Cut which actually adds additional minutes to a already great movie. Highly recommended 9 out of 10

Argo - Ben Affleck [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of A Clockwork Orange - Stanley Kubrick [BLU-RAY Special Edition] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

A Clockwork Orange is another powerfully disturbing and undeniably brilliant film by Stanley Kubrick, who shakes us up once again with a nightmare parable about man's Inescapable destiny of violence. Pure classic in every way, making this essential for any Blu Ray collection. Highly recommended 9 out of 10

A Clockwork Orange - Stanley Kubrick [BLU-RAY Special Edition]

undefined review of The Lost Boys - Joel Schumacher [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Joel Schumacher's 1987 teen vampire flick is ageing well. Part of that is down to the sexy blend of bad lads, bloodsuckers, camp comedy and carnage, but the quality of the cast plays a huge part too. This is one of my favourite movies from the 80's and I also absolutely love the soundtrack to this movie which is also available. Note that this version of the Blu-Ray at Golden Disc's has a cool slip cover. Can recommend it with a 8 out of 10.

I’m glad I was finally able to get my hands on this album! I also saw a SuperM album in the store when I bought Butter so I’m glad to see more groups are coming to golden discs :)

undefined review of Seven - David Fincher [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

With Se7en, every murder is more sordid than the previous one, nothing prepares the viewer for the heart-pulsating shocker at the end, when the contents of that box made John Doe ( the creepy Kevin Spacey) into one of the most notorious on-screen villains. This is one of my favourite movies of all time, and the Blu-Ray I got from Golden Discs comes with a nice slip cover. Highly recommended 10 out of 10

Seven - David Fincher [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Snatchers - Stephen Cedars [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Snatchers (2019), may not join the ranks of great horror movies about pregnancy, but there's enough gore and laughs to keep every horror fan entertained. Really enjoyed this movie, can recommend it with a 8 out of 10

Snatchers - Stephen Cedars [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Friday the 13th - Sean S. Cunningham [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Blazing Saddles is more than simply a loving spoof of Hollywood westerns, Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest movies ever made... and one of the most audacious satires of racism to come out of Hollywood. The famous one liners are brilliant, "the sheriff is NEAR" been a good example. This Blu Ray from golden Discs is the 40th anniversary Remastered version, highly recommended 10 out of 10

I've been checking Golden Disc outlet nearly everyday eventhough I left my number. Because no choice of the set or individual cd online. So I was hoping against hope I can just get it in the shop. Thanks to Golden Disc staff who in Liffey Valley Shopping Centre who called me when it arrived and reserved the set for me. I collected it today and I'm happy. Thanks.
