Motorway DVD Release Short Review

3 Star High Octane Kowloon Driving.

From the director that brought us Dog Eat Dog, Pou-Soi Cheang, this offering of street and mountain road chases, showing off the impressive driving skills that thrill young men, but this as a film just doesn't hit the top spot as a full movie.
Cheung, (Shawn Yue, Initial D-Drift Racer) is a young and impatient police officer in the East Kowloon Stealth Squad, implemented to catch the illegal street racers. Along with his seasoned partner Lo, (Anthony Wong, Hard Boiled), nearing his retirement Lo takes life at a slower pace than his young partner.

Ender's Game Blu-ray and DVD Short Review

4 stars for this unusual and imaginative sci-fi film.

Ender's Game is written (screenplay) and directed by Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins:Wolverine, Tsotsi) and is based on the best selling novel of the same name, written by Orson Scott Card. 

It is set in a world where humanity is reeling from an attack by a race known as the Formics. Having been saved only by the heroic actions of one Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley - Schindler's List, Gandhi), the army are more than keen to recruit what they believe to be their biggest asset, a generation of children who have trained in military and fighting techniques and strategy using computer games.

Enter Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield - Hugo, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas), a highly skilled gamer who is chosen for entry to Battle School by Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford - Paranoia, Indiana Jones). He is the only member of his family to make it this far, his brother having washed out for excessive aggression, and his sister, Valentine (Abigail Breslin - Little Miss Sunshine, Signs) failing due to her compassion.

Nura: Rise of thje Yokai Clan Season 2 Part 1 Shoprt DVD Review

4 Star anime of Spirits versus Human versus Spirits versus Spirits.

Based on the successful manga by Hiroshi Shiibashi.

Beautifully drawn and animated, this is a series that grips and holds on. I will be getting the first series for sure.
One for the DVD Collection.
This is the tale of young master Rikuo Nura as he plays at the family's ancient clan headquarters, playing pranks on the people that live there. At 8 years old he doesn't have much to worry him apart from the memory of seeing his father killed by a mysterious young girl.


What he regards as normal is not what the rest of the country regard as normal. As he attends school a classmate gives a speech on how Yokai eat children's livers and send them to hell.
Rikuo protests their innocence but this mainly falls on mocking ears.

4 stars for this exciting tale featuring everyone's favourite Ninja.

Naruto Shippūden Movie 4: The Lost Tower is a stand alone story about our hero Naruto Uzumaki, a young Shinobi from the Hidden Leaf village.

Naruto and his team mates (Yamato, Sakura and Sai) are dispatched to the ruins of Rōran, a once great city, in order to stop Mukade. His goal is to tap into the ley line beneath the city, thus giving himself an almost limitless supply of Chakra with which to power his puppet Jutsu and create an army.

After an explosion at the ley line, Naruto is swallowed by a bright light and when he awakens, finds himself alone and in an unfamiliar place. He spots a young girl, but she runs away and closes the door behind her, leaving him trapped underground. He climbs out only to find himself in a strange city with huge towers, and surrounded by large numbers of puppets.

Devil In The Woods Short Review

2 stars for this strange non entity of a horror film.

Devil In The Woods is written and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, III, IV) and was originally released in the U.S. under the name "The Barrens".

It tells the story of Richard Vineyard (Stephen Moyer - True Blood, Quills), a father wanting to bring his new family together and help his children, Sadie (Allie MacDonald -House At The End Of The Street, Stories We Tell) and Danny (Peter Dacunha - Mistletoe Over Manhattan) to bond with his new wife Cynthia (Mia Kirschner - The L Word, The Black Dahlia).

In true horror film tradition, he decides the best way to achieve this would be for them to go camping in the "Forest Of Death and Blood", known in this case as the Pine Barrens.

Local legend has it, according to the tales told around the campfire, that the woods are stalked by a devil creature, wings, claws, teeth, etc. Armed with this information, Richard decides to take his family deeper into the woods  where they happen upon a campsite featuring a dead dog tied to a tree and a shredded tent. This is, of course, the ideal place to set up camp. As Richard becomes sick, he and his family are forced into a desperate struggle for survival.
