    by John Archer
    Samsung HW-Q990D Soundbar Review
    Samsung’s flagship soundbars have for generations now delivered the most immersive audio performances in the soundbar world with their huge amounts of power, four components (including real rear speakers) and massive channel counts.

    The Amityville Horror 4K Blu-ray Review

    by Mark Costello
    The Amityville Horror 4K Blu-ray Review
    Never have the words ‘Based on a True Story’ had such a profound effect on a generation…and never have they been such a lie, with the controversy around Stuart Rosenberg’s seminal haunted house classic proving to be almost as interesting as the story of the Lutz Family themselves.

    Fast Charlie (Amazon) Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Fast Charlie (Amazon) Movie Review
    Brosnan and Baccarin afford this cheap low-rent 'thriller' from Dead Calm's Phillip Noyce a distinctly YMMV justification for sitting through its amateurish hijinks.

    Drive-Away Dolls Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Drive-Away Dolls Movie Review
    Shooting for Bottoms meets Pulp Fiction, this cheap, tonally awry, distinctly un-funny, try-hard, sack-full-of-dildos romp utterly misfires, clearly coming from the wrong solo Coen Brother, and both awkwardly and shamelessly wasting the talents of a couple of good actresses.
