Bill Bailey's Cosmic Jam - DVD Review

He’s back. The man called the Klingon nonce, a veritable comedy and musical genius, and the main who turned round an ailing rock/comedy game show is back with his latest DVD release.

Queen and Paul Rodgers - Return of the Champions - Album Review

To say that I am a mark for Queen would be an understatement. Bohemian Rhapsody is the first song I can remember hearing, and in Freddie Mercury they had the greatest showman a band could ever  have.

Bride of the Monster/Plan 9 From Outer Space - Film Reviews

He’s been called the worst film maker ever to set foot in Hollywood. His ideas were quite frankly ludicrous, but he had the uncanny ability to turn himself into a cult hero. Mention the name of Edward D. Wood, Junior, and some people will tell you that he was nothing more than a weirdo with an angora fetish with an entourage of people even more weird than himself. But the great man is the first in what will hopefully become a series on Double Bill film reviews.

What is Wrong With British Television?

A topic started on the doyen of information that is the UK Fan Forum really got me thinking earlier today. The question was "What pissed you off about television?".

Battle Royale - Film Review

Over the past few months I had heard much about this Japanese-made film. Everyone I knew who had seen it before had told me what a great film this was, one of the finest to come out of Asia in recent years, and when I managed to get a hold of a copy, I wasn't disappointed.

Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned Live - Video Review

So what’s so special about two blokes sitting on a sofa, talking about everything and nothing? It’s a scene that’s repeated the world over, and you would have thought that it wouldn’t make for interesting viewing.

Linkin Park Live in Texas - Album Review

It was with a great deal of nagging from a friend that I purchased this album. I've always enjoyed Linkin Park's music, but have never really been a huge fan. I have a feeling my friend only wanted me to buy this so she could get a free copy!

JLA Year One - Book Review

Those who know me well will know I am a huge fan of the super-hero genre, particularly those of Marvel & D.C. Comics. They will also know that I am a massive fan of the super-hero team, with the Justice League of America being among my all-time favourites.

JLA The Nail - Book Review

The Elseworlds series allows DC Comics writers and artists the chance to explore storylines and ideas that wouldn't normally be allowed under normal continuity. Bat Man can become a vampire, Superman can be raised by Darkseid, that sort of thing.

The Church of Scientology and the Anger of a Quiet Man

Does the name John Sweeney mean anything to you? If you were to pass him in the street you probably wouldn't look at him twice, yet he's probably the BBC's best investigative journalist.

WWE Armageddon on Sky Box Office - TV Review

It’s the last World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-view of the year, as a leaner and meaner Chris Jericho returns to challenge Randy Orton for the WWE title. Oh, and there’s also a triple threat match for the World title as well, in the 2007 version of Armageddon, shown live here in Britain on Sky Box Office.

We start off with a US title match, as Rey Mysterio challenges MVP for the gold. Although this was a good match in it’s own right, for some reason I just couldn’t get into it. It was a good way to start the show, and I can’t really fault the performances of either man, but it just didn’t set my pulse racing. Given the ending, it looks like this rivalry will go on for a while, as MVP got himself counted out, retaining the title in the process. By the way, did anyone else notice that Michael Cole almost told the world who MVP first defeated for the US title many months ago?

TNA Turning Point on Bravo 2 - TV Review

Another belated review for you, this time from the world of professional wrestling as we take a look at TNA’s last pay-per-view, Turning Point, held at the Impact Zone in Florida and headlined by Kurt Angle, A.J. Styles and Tomko against Samoa Joe and The Outsiders - or so we thought. The show was broadcast on a three day delay on Bravo 2 here in Britain, and our hosts, as always, were the Professor himself, Mike Tenay, and he of the awful tie/shirt combination, Don West.

Cage Rage 24: Feel The Pain on Sky Sports - TV Review

It’s a busy period for those of us working in the retail industry, especially if, like me, you’ve just started work on a short-term contract for one of the largest retail chains in Britain. So, with my excuses now made, I bring you a somewhat belated look at Cage Rage 24: Feel The Pain, held in the world famous Wembley Arena in London on December 2^nd, and broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling - Book Review

It’s the story about a powerful family-run business, with sibling in-fighting, extra marital affairs, power struggles, double crossing and death. But this isn’t a soap opera, it’s real life. It’s not the story of the Ewing family, it’s the story of one of the most well known families in professional wrestling history.

WWE Survivor Series on Sky Box Office - TV Review

Ten years ago, a certain event happened to a certain wrestler in a certain Canadian city, and convinced that events similar to these may happen again, and not having read any of the online reviews, I bring you my review of this year’s WWE Survivor Series, headlined by two title matches and including just ONE regular elimination match, and shown live here in Britain on Sky Box Office. All announcers are in attendance, so there’s no point me telling you who’s here.

UFC 78: Validation on Bravo - TV Review

It’s taken fourteen years, but finally there’s a Brit in the main event of a UFC pay-per-view, as Michael Bisping tackles Rashad Evans, the headline fight for UFC 78: Validation, shown on a twenty four hour delay here in Britain on Bravo. Our hosts for the evening, as always, are Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan.

TNA Genesis on Bravo 2 - TV Review

So just who was Sting’s mystery partner as they took on the arguing team of Kevin Nash and Kurt Angle? And who will get to brawl through the crowd this month? This is something I’m trying to find out as I take a look at TNA’s latest pay-per-offering, Genesis, shown on a three day delay on Bravo 2 here in Britain. As always, our hosts for the evening are Mike Tenay and Don West.

K-1 Hero's 2005 Volume Three: Tournament Semi-Final - DVD Review

Our hosts for the evening are Howard Hughes and Pierre Guillet.

WWE Cyber Sunday on Sky Sports - TV Review

It’s that time of the year again when the bigwigs at World Wrestling Entertainment turn over the reigns to the most controversial bookers in the world - the fans. Yep, it’s Cyber Sunday, shown live here in Britain on Sky Sports.

IWW Supershow March 2005 - DVD Review

This edition of The Two Sheds Review has an international flavour once again, and having travelled to Japan for IWA’s King of the Death Match ‘95 tournament, we’re now going to take in a bit of Ireland, as we present Irish Whip Wrestling’s supershow from Dublin, which took place back in March 2005, featuring a mouth watering main event clash, Christopher Daniels v A.J. Styles. Our host for the evening is Eamon D’Arcy.
