DVD Review: Can't Stop The Music (1980)

I've viewed some weird Euro horrors, mad Asian flicks and creepy Brit cult classics in my time, but I have to say that America has come up trumps with something that just might out-bizarre them all - Can't Stop The Music.

Name ring a bell? Yes, it's a Village People tune and this is the fictionalised account of how said group came into being. Of course, it's all a load of nonsense with absolutely no basis of fact, but who cares? This a film, not Wikipedia.

Coming to DVD and Blu-ray: The Doors: When You’re Strange (2010)

Make a note of this date - 30th August 2010 - that's the date for the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Doors: When You’re Strange.
 
Offering up only original footage from between 1966 and 1971 - unreleased, rarely seen and classic clips - Tom DiCillo's documentary captures the band at their height, with Johnny Depp taking up the narration duties, talking through the band's fame, as well as the drug and alcohol excesses. But that's just the sideshow to the main act - classic sounds Morrison, Manzarek, Krieger and Densmore created in that brief period.

Available to pre-order now, priced from £13.49.

Severin to reissue Psychomania as Special Edition DVD

I could wax lyrical about this movie all night - and some people who know me know I have done just that. From the dodgy locations to the cool soundtrack, silly plot and unconvincing acting, Psychomania somehow manages to be both brilliant and terrible at the same. Making this Special Edition DVD from Severin a must-buy.

Yes, we're in the world of zombie bikers and black magic, Beryl Reed and George Sanders having the power to bring back the dead. But that power is abused by Tommy and his biker gang, The Living Dead, willingly killing themselves in return for immortality in England's suburbs.
