14th November 2006 DVD NEWS
The film, which was directed by The
Blair Witch Project's Eduardo Sánchez, is about a reunion of four men
who, having survived being abducted by aliens, are bent on revenge.
If you don't count the Curse of the Blair Witch TV spinoff, this is Sánchez's first film as director since 1999's The Blair Witch Project. The film will be presented in 1.85:1 ratio. No other technical details were announced, and there was no information about about any bonus features. The RRP is £12.99.
It features five Bottom live shows starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (1993's Bottom Live - The Stage Show, Bottom Live - The Big Number 2, 1997's Bottom Live - Hooligan's Island; 2001's Bottom Live - An Arse Oddity, and Bottom Live - Weapons Grade Y-Front Tour), Best of Bottom Live compilation (which includes a Making of... documentary, and bloopers from Guest House Paradiso film), and the 1999 film itself. RRP for the set is £39.99.
The film is about a group of teens who discover that the deaths of some of their friends is linked to an online video game called - irony of ironies - Stay Alive. The film stars The O.C.'s Samaire Armstrong, Life As We Know It's Jon Foster, and Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz. No technical details were announced, and there was nothing in the press release to indicate whether there would be any bonus features. Neither does the press release indicate whether this 15-rated version is the original US theatrical version, or the US DVD's Unrated Director's Cut. The US DVD has a commentary track; a visual effects reel; and "interactive bonus menus". The RRP is £19.99.
The film, which stars Neighbours' pop diva Holly Valance, My Name Is Earl's Jaime Pressly, Shark's Sarah Carter and Sin City's Devon Aoki, is about contestants participating in an infamous martial arts tournament. Eric Roberts plays the villain (Whoa! Did anyone else just get a Best of the Best flashback!) The film was directed by The Transporter's Cory Yuen. The film will be presented in anamorphic 2.35:1 format. Deleted scenes and a Making of... featurette are also offered. The RRP is £15.99.
No technical details were available. Amazingly, the press release seems to have arrived before it's being listed by any of the main etailers! The RRP is £15.99
