"Love Island UK is literally the biggest thing in my life—it’s the best television show of all time. I think British reality television shows are very much a cut above the rest. And if you haven’t seen Come Dine With Me, it’s incredible. There’s also First Dates and Take Me Out. Oh, my God, they’re so good."

Not as much choice as US version (0 more)
Great streaming service and original content. One of the new homes for indie film. It is exciting to see films that would never get a theatrical release get more exposure. Any real complaint is that the UK version doesn't offer access to enough movies and old tv shows. But still well worth the price.

Top Gun with Helicopters
Known as Wings of the Apache in the UK. This is basically Top Gun with the Apache gunship helicopter...I didn't even realize at the time Nicholas Cage and Tommy Lee Jones were in this! Must have have been a long time ago when I saw it, but it has some great action scenes. Well worth checking out!

The term “Video Nasty” is a term you used to hear a lot on the 80s, The Mountain of the Cannibal God (aka Slave of the Cannibal God – La montagna del dio cannibale), released in 1978, is one of the many titles that was given the title and was subsequently banned in the UK until 2001. The Mountain of the Cannibal God has now found its way on to Blu-ray with a 2k restoration to bring the horror to a new generation of horror fans in the UK.

The blu-ray starts with an introduction about the movie from director, Sergio Martino, and a text screen explaining, “this Shameless rebuild reinstates the long-missing original dramatic gore and the complete extended orgiastic pandemonium, yet despite very best efforts the quality of a few reinserted scenes will vary“.

I started this book with high expectations given all the hype that has preceded it and, overall, I wasn't disappointed and I want to thank Netgalley and the publisher, Random House UK/Transworld Publishing, for my copy in return for an unbiased review.

Classic Christie
One of the best Agatha Christie films to be made! Featuring an all star cast this is a timeless classic that has inspired many other films, Identity and House on Haunted hill spring to mind. If you like a good murder mystery or are a fan of Agatha Christie check this out, now known in the UK as And then there were none.

Felt a couple of episodes too long (0 more)
A great thriller set in Hong Kong as a Husband from the UK uncovers mysterious facts around the death of his wife. It starts well and the first few episodes have some great twists and turns. Unfortunately it loses momentum around the last few episodes. It features a great cast and some great locations around Hong Kong.
