Ahhh! More pretty steelbooks! Up next (released on Monday) are Danny Boyle's Sunshine and Terry Gilliam's Brazil. I have to admit, I haven't seen Sunshine since I saw it in the cinema. I remember being completely blown away by it and a bit freaked out by the ending. It definitely needs a re-watch. And Brazil… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: Sunshine and Brazil steelbook

Coming soon to DVD: Game of Thrones Season 3
I think I'm the only geek in the world who hasn't seen Game of Thrones yet. It's on the list and I intend to catch up this year - just as soon as I'm done with Castle, The Mentalist, The Walking Dead, Arrow, Elementary... and Chuck! I've still not seen Season 5. Then there's Breaking… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: Game of Thrones Season 3
Coming soon to DVD: About Time and Leon
Two great blurays are released on Monday - About Time and Leon. Leon is a modern classic which I saw for the first time a couple of years ago and instantly loved, so this 20th anniversary steelbook is a must-have. And About Time is one of my cinematic highlights of last year. Sure, I didn't… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: About Time and Leon

Item of the day: The Big Lebowski bluray
Because when I go to HMV I have to walk up and down every aisle to make sure I don't miss anything awesome, I came across this yesterday. And if it wasn't for the fact that it seemed ridiculous to own three copies of the same film, even if it is one of my favourites,… Continue reading Item of the day: The Big Lebowski bluray

Oh dear god. Prepare yourself for a whole load of awesome. Are you ready? You sure? Good.

Get outta here!) and… Continue reading Out today on DVD: The Walking Dead steelbooks
Gifts for film buffs
Film buffs can be either incredibly easy or hugely difficult to buy for, depending on how wide they cast their film viewing net. A true film buff will admit to loving flicks from the Golden Age, 80s cheese, under-the-radar indies and Hollywood blockbusters. So prepare to cast your peepers over some pretty ask-kicking gifts for… Continue reading Gifts for film buffs
Coming soon to DVD: Miyazaki steelbooks!
I'm trying really hard to catch up on the Studio Ghibli films. There was a season on Film 4 a couple of months back and I Sky +-ed the shit out of the films. To date, the only films I've seen are Spirited Away and Ponyo, and I really do intend to fix that. I'm… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: Miyazaki steelbooks!
Coming soon to DVD: The Great Gatsby
The first time I saw the trailer for The Great Gatsby I knew I had to see it in the cinema. It's one of those films that looks so grand that to see it for the first time on a small screen would almost be cheating. Then the cinema release was delayed. Then I moved… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: The Great Gatsby
Coming soon to DVD: Hitchcock: The Ultimate Filmmaker Collection
What the actual fuck? Wasn't this just released on bluray last Christmas? I remember receiving a very cool 'masterpiece' edition and now there's an 'ultimate' one? What money grabbing bastards! If you don't have Hitch's back catalogue already, this looks like the one to get though. Check out the extras, which include a 16 -page companion… Continue reading Coming soon to DVD: Hitchcock: The Ultimate Filmmaker Collection
