Love Thy Neighbour – The Complete Series: DVD

Love Thy Neighbour: The Complete Series Creators: Vince Powell / Harry Driver ITV / Madman The convenient excuse is to suggest that something happened when times were different, but time is an abstract concept – the times themselves were not different, we have been stretching time and having it constrict on us since long before […]

WWE Elimination Chamber 2021: DVD

Elimination Chamber 2021 WWE Madman February’s Elimination Chamber event is now on DVD and if you’re a fan of these sorts of events – the big Elimination Chamber contests are of course epic by design – then you won’t be disappointed. Both Chamber bouts are great – the first one particularly. Great spots, excellent execution, […]

Chick Fight: DVD

Chick Fight Director: Paul Leyden Madman You can almost imagine the pitch meeting. Guys, of course, talking about Fight Club and someone says, “what if we made it funny and sexy?” Chick Fight is, of course, neither. Because men that presumably met women for the very first time when casting and shooting the film, made […]

WWE TLC – Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2020: DVD

TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2020 WWE Madman This was just a solid PPV card from start to finish – no massive duds, nothing that totally blew me away but some quality matches, solid booking and it pretty much all made sense and went off hitch-free. Opener, a ladder match (always a great way to […]

Fatman: DVD

Fatman (Blu-Ray) Directors: Eshom and Ian Nelms Madman Elton John has made more bad albums than good. That’s a fact. But of course he still shows the chops, those classic albums have their magical moments and he’s fondly remembered as being, well, ‘good’. To endure one of his worst songs is something, but you can […]

WWE Survivor Series 2020: DVD

Survivor Series 2020 WWE Madman One of the original PPV events from the old days – Survivor Series 2020 faces the adaptation or die model that the WWE now has well in place; video screens dangling in the arena in place of an actual live crowd. It’s bedded in now – we’re used to it. […]

Shirley: DVD

Shirley Director: Josephine Decker Madman Movies about writers…they seldom work. But the good ones absolutely nail it. I think it’s because movies about writers need to be ‘small movies’ – and Hollywood likes to go large, so many of the films about legendary literary figures have overestimated the interest of the non-literary crowd. Or they’ve […]

Bill And Ted Face The Music: DVD

Bill And Ted Face The Music Director: Dean Parisot Madman If William S. “Bill” Preston, Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan had really faced the music they’d have deduced that a piss-weak sequel few were waiting for arriving like luke-warm soup some 30 years after it might have first been ordered was not actually non-heinous; was […]

The Australian Dream: DVD

The Australian Dream Director: Daniel Gordon Madman This brilliant documentary, directed by Daniel Gordon from a script by Stan Grant, uses the story of AFL legend Adam Goodes – an inspiration on and off the field – to tell the wider stories of identity and racism. Goodes, winner of almost every single award going in […]

Inheritance: DVD

Inheritance Director: Vaughn Stein Madman Fresh from watching the terrible Force of Nature I couldn’t have managed a better double-feature of car-crash bad-scripting if I’d googled it…Inheritance is a fucking stupid mess also. But that seems a lot sadder given a strong cast and the potential (if you watch the trailer) for something to be […]

Force of Nature: DVD

Force of Nature Director: Michael Polish Lionsgate / Madman There are bad films where you leave them on and you start to laugh at how bad they are. They are unintentionally hilarious and then – somehow – spontaneously enjoyable. They are the type of entertainment they could have never planned to be. Then there are […]

WWE Clash of Champions 2020: DVD

Clash of Champions 2020 Madman WWE I really enjoyed this Clash of Champions showcase overall. I’m settling into the non-crowd era where the screens are up in the background and the arena is super-quiet; its weird – but so is wrestling. And thus is life.
