BLADES OF GLORY
Cert: 12 Price £29.99
FILMHD QUALITYEXTRAS
A hilarious movie with both leads achieving their personal best. By no means a demo disc but too funny to pass up.

FILMHD QUALITYEXTRAS
You really haven’t seen that famous car chase until you’ve seen it in high definition.
BLACK RAIN
Cert: 15 Price £29.99

Trashy thriller that is far from Scott’s best, but is saved by the quality of the video, sound and extras.

Cert: PG Price £24.99
FILMHD QUALITYEXTRAS
Burton remakes an enjoyable kids’ film.
THE DEER HUNTER
Cert: 18 Price £14.99

A classic Vietnam War movie. It’s also a good video transfer but let down in other departments.
THE AVIATOR
Cert: 15 Price £13.99
FILMHD QUALITYEXTRAS
A superbly acted account of Howard Hughes’s life that gets a similarly impressive HD treatment.
ANCHORMAN

A stylish war movie that attempts to explore the effects of a war without ever showing the combat.
THE FAST & THE FURIOUS
Cert: 15 Price £19.99
FILMHD QUALITYEXTRAS
Exclusive HD content – far from a car-crash disc.
POSEIDON
Cert: 12 Price £24.99

A very bad movie gets a very good transfer, this should ‘go down well’ with those looking to show off their HD setup.
