Weekend Round-up, The Adjustment Bureau and The Shadow Line

A Day late but here is Custards Weekend Roundup, Adjustment Bureau and a great bit of TV, The Shadow Line. I find this highly amusing. After last weeks big show of my weekly schedule, I manage in just 7 days to completely miss a day. OOPS. Yesterday, I got myself very...

Half Price Red @ HMV

Hey there, I’ve been out of the game for a while but I’m back with a vengeance with a ludicrously cheap Red on Blu-Ray for £7.79 at HMV!!!!! The next cheapest is a whopping £14.84 at Choicesuk. That’s nearly half price in my book so I would suggest filling your...

The Killing, Who killed Rosie Larsen?

It’s not only Film that happens in Custard’s FRC, there is another addiction. American and British TV Shows feature heavy on the weekly schedule.       Firstly, I would like to thank Dirty with Class. Without the heads up about a new show I would have never of had such a great evening...

Review: London Boulevard (2010) Review

A decidedly average attempt at a British gangster caper fails on every level to deliver anything new and enlightening.     I wasn’t going to review this film simply for the reason that it was so mediocre that it ended before I could really get any sort of opinion. All I was...

Custard’s Pick of UK Blu Ray Releases 4th April 2011

It’s that time of the week again to see what films are being released in the UK next week. Anything worth picking up? Custard has a gander. I know I am a day late. Sorry. But here are my pick of the new releases coming on Blu Ray for us...

World Cinema Weekender – Round up

A weekend of World cinema was promised with an ambitious 5 films laid out and ready to go. Did Custard make it through the whole set list? Or did he fail miserably? I am afraid to say it was the latter. Well to quote Robert Burns… the best laid plans ‘Of...

World Cinema Megamix

This weekend I will be having a World Cinema Movie mash-up in my home theatre. I am always trying to broaden my boundaries and expand my very blinkered vision on film. Last weekend we had a brief dip into the water of period drama, thanks to Ruth @ Flixchatter (a...

Remote Control Hell…

As we strive for the perfect Home Cinema we start to build up quite a kit list.  Every time we buy something new we get a new controller. Does your coffee table look like this :-   If so then it is time to think about a universal or all-in-one controller. With...

Virgin Media TiVo enables 3rd Tuner

An update was released last night enabling the TiVo HD powered Virgin media boxes to use their third tuner. Up until then they had only been using two tuners, but with a small software update Virgin has unleashed it massive trump car over its arch rival SKY, which only has 2...

Disney double at Bee.com……

Looks like there’s a few goodies to be had today. Just looked on Bee.com and found a couple of Disney films at decent prices. They’ve got the all time classic Pinocchio for a stunning £8.99. In my opinion this is one of Disney’s...

A classic on Blu-Ray for £6.99……..

Afternoon everyone. Welcome to the Blu-Ray deals section of FRC. First up we have a recently released classic on Blu-Ray. Spartacus is the epic story of a bold gladiator slave who is forced to fight the Roman Empire. Starring Kirk Douglas, Jean Simmons and Laurence Olivier, this is a powerful film from director...

New meat, er I mean blogger, joins FRC

I just wanted to give a very big FRC welcome to our new blogger “kindafunnylookin” (his name choice not mine, although he IS kind of funny looking). Mr L (much easier to type) is a very good friend of mine and is in equal measures a tight skin flint and...

How Do We Make Custard? Part 2 – Teens

Welcome to the second in this look back at my life and the films I remember having a big impact on me and the way they have shaped my love of movies. Last weeks post saw how I became very early on anti all horror movies with my Fathers cruel...

Review: The Fighter (2010) Review

I have had this horrible feeling lately that I have missed the boat. It seems that there are so many great blogs out there with amazing writers, posting inspiring reviews of current and newly released films. All I seem to do is play catch up and hope that someone will...

How do we make Custard? Part 1 Childhood

Not with eggs and milk, that’s for sure. In this series of posts I am going to chart a few of the films that have influenced my life and ultimately molded me into the man (or man child) that I am today. I have been scraping my failing memory for defining...

Custards Pick of New Blu-Ray Releases 14th March 2011

Here we go again, its Tuesday so it must be the “lets look at the upcoming releases” available for next Monday. A quick glance at the list shows somethigns that might be worth a look. Lets face it, nothing could be any worse than last weeks!! OK, here are my pick...

Review: Grave Robbing Swan Loses Memory!

A bit of a crazy headline. Sounds a bit like the National Enquirer doesn’t it? But it just about sums up our weekend viewing in Front Room Cinema. On Friday we settled down to the black comedy (or not so comedy) “Burke and Hare”. Saturday was education night for my...
