Many people have probably never heard of Bruce Campbell, but those that have will know that he’s quite possibly the best actor to grace God’s green Earth. The film that really shot him to fame (or not!) is The Evil Dead, which is a cult horror flick about a group of students vacationing in an isolated cabin in the woods.

The Evil Dead: Book Of The Dead is a double disc set that comes with a vast amount of bonus material, which ranges from commentaries to a documentary by Mr Campbell himself. Also included is 1997 movie Running Time, starring the great man - who has had quite a bit to do with this DVD!

HMV have this available for £6.99 - for more information, click here.

The Robert Altman Collection £13.99

Robert Altman was a director known for making films that looked very natural, but with a stylised perspective. He’s also lucky to have been at the helm for two movies which have been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, with M*A*S*H and Nashville.

The Robert Altman Collection contains five of his best works, but there’s sadly no sign of Nashville. M*A*S*H is included though, along with Fool For Love, The Long Goodbye, O.C. And Stiggs, and Thieves Like Us.

Steve McQueen Collection £4.99

An interesting fact about Steve McQueen is that his real first name was Terrence. Somehow Terry McQueen doesn’t sound quite as good as Steve McQueen, so you can see why he went with his middle name instead.

Anyway, the Steve McQueen Collection contains four of his best films - The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven, The Sand Pebbles, and The Thomas Crown Affair.

QI: The Complete First Series £5.49

QI is quite an ambitious project for a comedy panel quiz show, as it’s planned to last for 26 years (each series deals with a new letter of the alphabet, you see). "F" starts in 2009, and marks the first appearance in its new home on BBC One.

QI: The Complete First Series is themed around the letter "A", unsurprisingly. All 12 episodes can be found on the double disc set, along with the never-before-seen pilot episode.

HMV are now selling this DVD for the lower price of £5.49 - click here for more details.

Asda VAT Free Weekend

You’ve no doubt seen at least something about the Asda VAT free weekend that’s running from now until Sunday the 30th of November, but it’s worth mentioning on the off-chance that you haven’t.

All electrical items instore have 17.5% knocked off them, which means there will be many bargains to be had all over the place - of interest to us will be DVD players and televisions, which are also included.

I expect most places will be packed, so head out early tomorrow to beat the predicted madness.

I Am Legend (Blu-Ray) £9.99

Although many, myself included, found the ending to I Am Legend a little on the rubbish side, the rest of the film is excellent - helped in no small way by a brilliant performance from Will Smith.

It looks and sounds fantastic in high definition, and thankfully also come with all of the bonus material from the standard Special Edition DVD. This amounts to a documentary on the making of the movie, an alternate ending, and four animated comics.

Click here to buy I Am Legend, on Blu-Ray, for £9.99 from Play.com.

One Foot In The Grave: The Complete Boxset £19.99

One Foot In The Grave is a BBC comedy series that ran for ten years, and featured the exploits of Victor Meldrew and his wife Margaret in their battle against the trials of modern life.

One Foot In The Grave: The Complete Boxset contains all 42 episodes, including the numerous Christmas Specials. Not a hint of a special feature though, sadly.

Instore at HMV you can pick this up for £19.99.

Entourage: Seasons One And Two £5.93

It’s almost a kiss of death for a US show to air on ITV2 in this country, as more often than not it will be buggered around with scheduling wise. This is the case with Entourage, which is an excellent comedy/drama series about a young A-list movie star and his friends living and "working" in Hollywood.

The Entourage: Seasons One And Two boxset contains the first 22 episodes. Also included are some commentaries and interviews with the cast and crew.

To get this for just £5.93 from The Hut, click here. This is a "deal of the day" offer, so will disappear very soon…
