This April, Jonathan Burke asks the question Who’s Jenna…? and here are my thoughts which I did post late last year when I was fortunate enough to see the film. See what you think and let me know if you agree. I spent some of this morning watching the new Tom Baldinger’s rom-com “Who’s Jenna…?”…

From Juan Piquer Simón, director of the equally unhinged Slugs, Pieces(original title: Mil Gritas tiene La Noche) is the original sickening slasher classic, now restored in glorious 4K from Arrow Video. If you arent familiar with the film ‘Pieces’ from 1982 (and I wasnt until this reissue, although I had heard the name talked about…

How far would you go to help a friend? That’s a very good questions that most people wonder about. How would you or would you help your friend get rid of a corpse if they showed up at your house with one in a bag? That’s another question and not one that I have actually…

One of the dilemmas I have with being a film fan is just which film to watch. With so many films being released its near impossible to catch up with everything. Add to that the insane amount of back catalogue films that are out there, I am never going to run out of films to…
ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: THE WILD, UNTOLD STORY OF CANNON FILMS In what would well be my favourite documentary of the year (closely followed by Star Wars Begins, A Fan Documentary).
