undefined review of The Studio Albums - ABBA [VINYL] image 1 out of 1

J. D.

First order got lost somewhere between Golden Discs and An Post. But with more than a little help from Anthony (online ordering guru), the boxset did at last arrive and the quality has blown me away. Well worth the wait.

undefined review of Apollo 13 - Ron Howard [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Apollo 13 is tense as the best murder mysteries and as kinetic as the most exciting action films, this space adventure is as thrilling as movies get. The Remastered movie looks glorious on this Blu Ray release and you need to watch it on the biggest screen available. Must own for any Blu Ray collection. Recommended with a 9 out of 10, Brilliant!!

undefined review of Hustlers - Lorene Scafaria [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

A deliriously entertaining, very funny, and occasionally shocking depiction of a true life story that is indeed so absurd that it must be true, hey only in the USA I guess. While JLo looks amazing for a one in her 50s as a stripper. Can recommend with 7 out of 10

undefined review of BlackkKlansman - Spike Lee [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

BlacKkKlansman is a buoyant buddy-cop caper, a loving homage to Blaxploitation films, and an intelligent conversation with the past and the present. At 135 mins long the movie never feels to long and the acting is excellent. Highly recommended 9 out of 10

undefined review of Supernatural: The Complete Series [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. M.

What’s there to say about supernatural? It’s the longest running TV sci-fi horror show ever. I only started watching this in 2012.I won’t ruin it for you but starts a bit of a slow pick up in Episode 4-5,There is a lot of filler episodes which are excellent! Monster of the week sort of thing,But when you get to episode 3 Wendigo You get the lore of the monster 👹 I think a Wendigo is a monster also called The Jersey Devil featured in Pet Cemetery by Stephen King. But back to supernatural now, ...

undefined review of Hell Freezes Over - The Eagles [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Hell Freezes Over is the second live album by the Eagles and was originally released in 1994 after the MTV show. The album is the first to be released after the Eagles had reformed following a fourteen-year-long break up, stating they would only reunite the band if He'll Freezes Over. This is a essential album for any collection, particularly good acoustic versions of Hotel California and Joe Walsh's In The City. 10 out of 10, Brilliant Stuff!

undefined review of 21 - Adele [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

21 is the second studio album by singer-songwriter Adele and was released in 2011. Composed in the aftermath of the singer's separation from her then partner and is reflected in most of the songs on this multi award winning album reflects the breakup. One of my favourite tracks on this album is "Rolling In The Deep". Great to see she lost all that unnecessary weight she was carrying, fair play to her. This Album is just brilliant 9 out of 10

undefined review of Night Visions - Imagine Dragons [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This Album was released in 2012, and was one of my favourite debut albums of a band for some time. There is very few poor tracks on the album, with two songs in particular standing out after a first listen, Radioactive and On Top of the World. Saw this band in concert in 2013 and there where top notch, can highly recommend, 9 out of 10

J. B.

Bad Boys for Life (2020) action comedy film that is the sequel to Bad Boys II (2003) and the third installment in the Bad Boys franchise. Really enjoyed this movie, with hardly no movies released in 2020 this was such a great bonus. The action scenes come fast and the movie ends before you notice 2 hours have passed. Can recommend it. 7 out of 10

undefined review of Ten - Pearl Jam [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Ten is the debut studio album by rock band Pearl Jam, released In 1991. The vocals of Eddie Vedder are one of the greatest grunge vocals you will here. The brilliant song "Jeremy" and its accompanying video were inspired by a true story in which a high school student in the US shot himself in front of his classmates. This is a must have album for any collection, 10 out of 10

undefined review of Bohemian Rhapsody - Bryan Singer [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This 2018 movie was lambasted by the critics upon it's release, most of which blamed it lack of historical accuracy much to the amazement of May and Taylor. The recreation of Live Aid performance is nothing short of stunning while Rami Malek as Freddie is just brilliant. The Blu Ray contains the full Live Aid performance not seen in cinemas. Must see 9 out of 10

undefined review of Unplugged in New York - Nirvana [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Nirvana's acoustic performance recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York City on November 18, 1993, for the television series MTV Unplugged. Unlike many artists who appeared on the MTV show, Nirvana filmed the entire performance in a single take. Along with Eric Clapton this might be best Unplugged Album you will find. Brilliant 10 out 10!

undefined review of The Joshua Tree: 30th Anniversary Edition - U2 [CD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This is the 5th studio Album of released by U2 and in my opinion the best to date. I'll always remember queuing on release night back in 1987 to get my vinyl LP. The newer anniversary CD is brilliant far superior sound to my original LP, it's a must have addition to your Music collection.

undefined review of Halloween 2018 - David Gordon Green [BLU RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This is a direct sequel to the classic 1978 John Carpenter movie of the same name. In order to accept the storyline of this movie you have to forget all of the previous sequels. Jason gets out of Hospital and goes on another killing spree in order to kill his sister Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis). It's actaully not a bad slasher movie. The Blu Ray picture and sound quality is great, and reasonably priced at Golden Disc, 6 out of 10

J. B.

This is my personal favourite of all the Star Wars movies made. I remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back as a child in the cinema and was I awe at the imperial walkers attack on the rebel base. This Blu Ray brings back all the nostalgia and having the movie playing through a good amplifier the HD sound is brilliant. Highly Recommend, you won't be disappointed with purchase.

D. G.

Incredible album, its literally got it all. Incredible narration by the silver screen idol (Richard Burton), Forever Autumn sung by Justin Hayward (Moody Blues), Vocals and awesome narration by our own Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy). I became a massive fan of both bands and discovered a love for books. I had to give this a 5 star because a snowflake gave it 1 (because it made them scared). Greetings from a veteran collector!
