Night Watch & Day Watch Double Pack (Blu-Ray) £8.67

While it’s quite unusual that Russian films even get a theatrical release in this country, when you see either Night Watch or Day Watch you’ll quickly understand why they did – both are excellent fantasy horror movies that entertain from beginning until end.

The Night Watch & Day Watch double pack, on Blu-Ray, contains the two films in glorious high definition. Also included are a bunch of extra features, such as audio commentaries and featurettes on the making of the movies.

Amazon are selling this for £8.67 – click here for more details.

Life On Mars: Series One And Two (Blu-Ray) £9.97 Each

It’s worth pointing out at this point that both Life On Mars: Series One And Two, on Blu-Ray, are not in true high definition but are instead upscaled. Think of it like a midway point between standard DVD and HD, but at a fairly decent price.

The show itself has recently been remade for American audiences, which was as bad as everyone imagined it would be. Our version had a really good nostalgic feeling about it that worked very well, and continues to do so in the sequel series "Ashes To Ashes".

Clerks: Collector’s Edition £5.99

Clerks is a comedy movie, written and directed by Kevin Smith, which follows a day in the lives of two store clerks and their acquaintances. Not only did this launch Smith’s career, it also helped to breath some life back into the field of independent films – which had been somewhat stagnant for a few years before this.

The Clerks: Collector’s Edition is a huge three disc release which comes with far too many extra features to list here. Highlights include a 90 minute retrospective documentary, the original cut of the movie and a couple of never-before-seen short films.

Forrest Gump: Special Collector’s Edition £2.99

Although Tom Hanks has had many different roles throughout his career, none have ever seemed quite as good as his portrayal of Forrest Gump. The epic journey of a borderline mental retard is quite possibly one of the greatest films ever produced – not to say the best work Hanks has done also.

The Forrest Gump: Special Collector’s Edition release contains two discs which are filled with extra features. The first has two audio commentaries, whilst the second contains some production featurettes (screen tests, deleted scenes, etc.) and a documentary on the making of the movie.

CD-WOW have this available for £2.99 – for more information, click here.

Huckleberry Finn And His Friends: The Complete Series £6.43

Huckleberry Finn And His Friends was a 1979 television series documenting the exploits of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, based on the novels The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer and Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn by American writer Mark Twain.

The Huckleberry Finn And His Friends: The Complete Series boxset contains four discs which hold all 26 episodes ever made. Also included are a 12 page colour booklet and an extensive "making of" documentary which features brand new interviews with many stars of the show.

The Raccoons: Season Two £8.93

The Raccoons is a Canadian animated television series that follows the adventures in Evergreen Forest of Bert Raccoon and his friends Ralph and Melissa, particularly in their attempts to thwart the industrialist actions of pink aardvark Cyril Sneer and his trio of pig henchmen.

Inside the double disc The Raccoons: Season Two release you’ll find 10 episodes of the series, along with some never before seen character model sheets and an interesting "behind the scenes" documentary.

Kavanagh Q.C.: The Complete Collection £17.99

Kavanagh Q.C. is a British television series that was produced for the ITV, and starred the late John Thaw as a criminal law barrister who comes from a working-class background. The programme usually followed the same format of him defending a client who seems to be guilty until a twist in the case occurs.

Inside the Kavanagh Q.C.: The Complete Collection boxset you’ll find all 27 episodes ever made. No sign of any special features, but that is to be expected with a show that wasn’t hugely popular (not to say that it was bad, mind you).

The Magic Key: The Complete Collection £2.93

The Magic Key started off life as a series of books, published for children, that primarily follow the lives of three children, their parents and grandmother, and their dog. In the TV show, the dog wears a golden key around his neck – this is the only real difference from the books, as in them the key is kept in a box and the dog doesn’t go on all of the adventures.

Inside The Magic Key: The Complete Collection, you’ll find two discs that contain all 26 episodes from the animated TV series. Originally shown on the BBC Schools segments in the morning, this transferred to CBeebies in 2004 (which is probably where your son or daughter saw it first!).

Yes Man (Blu-Ray) £9.99

Yes Man is a 2008 comedy film loosely based on the true story and book of the same name by British humourist Danny Wallace. Jim Carrey stars in it as a withdrawn and depressed man who decides to try and turn his life around by saying "yes" to everything after attending a self-improvement seminar.

This high definition release looks and sounds as fantastic as it did in the cinema, and also comes with all of the extra features found on the DVD version. These include six featurettes looking at the making of the movie, five music videos and a gag reel.
