5 Disney Movies 1995 to 1999 – 135
In this cast, Mark and Sam talk about assorted movies and the latest Godzilla trailer, and about 5 Disney movies: Pocahontas The Hunchback of Notre Dame Hercules Mulan Tarzan
Destry Rides Again 4.5/5
Ridiculously good comedy Western from 1939, with James Stewart as the thoughtful Destry, and Marlene Dietrich showing you why she was such an inspiration for Lilly Von Schtupp in Blazing Saddles. A really well-written, excellently cast and funny oldschool comedy.
Damnation Alley 2/5
Wow, how can a movie that opens with world war 3, and then features giant scorpions, killer cockroaches, murderous, rapey irradiated hillbillies and a flood be this boring? And it has Jean Michael Vincent and George Peppard! The only cool … Continue reading
Dial M For Murder 4/5
Pretty damn good procedural murder/detective story from Hitchcock, where the cool, meticulous planner becomes unravelled by little deviations from the plan. The only thing that seems unbelievable is what man in his right mind is tired of being married to … Continue reading
Down Periscope 3/5
Whilst this is a lightweight comedy/drama, I found it a very satisfying and fun watch, and even felt I learned something about crewing in a submarine. The cast was good, in particular the crew – even Rob Schneider was okay … Continue reading
Doghouse 3/5
Goofy horror movie that just about works. Some of it isn’t great – the dialogue is not good (it’s clichéd) but delivered with some gusto, and you can tell some of the scenes probably seemed much better on paper than … Continue reading
David Attenborough’s Natural History Museum Alive 3.5/5
Pretty solid documentary, where the incomparable David Attenborough lets you about the life histories of various exhibits that belongs to the National History Museum, London (a truly beautiful building, by the way). They realise this by using CGI to animate … Continue reading

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 3/5
Reasonably charming comedy, with some laugh out loud moments (watch out for the mention of a ‘genital cuff’, and Caine testing the paralysis in Martin’s legs), and a ton of charm from Caine and Martin. Glenne Headly also does really … Continue reading
The Dambusters – Dated but excellent war movie, focussing on both ingenuity and bravery 8/10
The Dambusters (1955) This movie is based on the true story of a raid by British bombers to take out the dams of Germany, used to power and aid in the steelmaking process, powering Germany’s war machine. It’s dated somewhat … Continue reading
TV Review: Doctor Who Regeneration 1 Series 003 – The Edge of Destruction 5/10
Doctor Who Regeneration 1 Series 3: The Edge of Destruction (aka Inside the Spaceship aka Beyond the Sun) This two-episode serial is quite unusual. It only features the 4 main principals, and is set entirely on the Tardis. The story … Continue reading
TV Review: Doctor Who Regeneration 1 Series 002 – The Daleks 7.5/10
Doctor Who Regeneration 1 Series 2: The Daleks (aka The Mutants aka The Dead Planet) This seven-episode run was the introduction of the Doctor’s longest-standing and greatest enemies, the Daleks. Whilst it’s stagey and slow compared with modern drama, it … Continue reading
Book Review: The Dark Tower (the series) by Stephen King 8/10

TV Review: Doctor Who Regeneration 1 Series 001 – An Unearthly Child 6/10

Videogame: Dantes Inferno (XBox 360) – Excellent gameplay, visuals, artwork, a little repetitive 8/10
Dante’s Inferno (X Box 360 version) This game involves a crusader cast into Hell to try and rescue his true love, whilst fighting Satan’s minions and descending through all the Circles of Hell. So much for the story, let’s talk … Continue reading

Movie Review: The Day The Earth Stood Still – classic 50s scifi 8/10
The Day the Earth Stood Still Made in the 50s and remade recently starring Keanu Reeves (and everything I’ve heard about it makes is sound like a worthless remake), this is a solid, if a little plodding, scifi story. An … Continue reading
