The Comic Strip Presents: The Complete Collection £17.99

The Comic Strip Presents: The Complete Collection

The 80s was a pretty good year for British comedy – except that Ben Elton also became quite popular, so there’s always a drawback somewhere. Stars such as Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (the guys in Bottom and The Young Ones) started breaking through into the mainstream.

The Comic Strip brought together some of the biggest stars of the day, including the aforementioned Mayall and Edmondson, for some feature-length films – many of which are brilliantly funny.

Movie Mail have this available for £17.99 – for more information, click here.

Wall-E: Special Edition £7.49

Wall-E: Special Edition

An interesting fact about Wall-E is that it’s the first Pixar film to feature any live action characters, which is nice. In it we follow the story of a robot called Wall-E, who is designed to clean up a polluted Earth – he gets on with his job until the appearance of another robot, who he falls in love with and follows into outer space for an adventure.

The Wall-E: Special Edition DVD has a fair few extra features, which are mainly aimed at kids (as you’d expect). These include deleted scenes, an audio commentary, a "read long" version of the movie, and a short film titled "Burn-E".

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Blu-Ray) £6.99

The Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Blu-Ray) is one of those cheap DVDs worth adding to your HD collection

With Terminator: Salvation being released not that long ago, now is quite a good time to go back and see how great Terminator 2: Judgment Day is – and hope that any future films in the series can try and emulate its success (Salvation was very average, unfortunately).

It’s never looked or sounded better than it does in high definition, although it would have been nice to see some bonus material. I suppose the fact that this is the longer "Special Edition" cut is something of a consolation though.

Religulous £7.49


Religulous is a comedy/documentary film written by and starring U.S. political comedian Bill Maher. It examines and satirises organised religion and religious beliefs – just don’t expect any balanced arguments, as this is strictly a one-sided piece of work.

The DVD comes with an audio commentary by Maher and director Larry Charles, deleted scenes, and edited monologues from around the world which were much shorter in the movie.

The Game: Special Edition £2.99


Michael Douglas is perhaps best known for his roles in such films as Wall Street and Falling Down, but one of his most underrated movies has to be The Game. He stars as an investment banker who is given a mysterious gift – participation in a game that integrates in strange ways with his real life…

Somers Town £3.99


Somers Town follows two teenage boys, adrift in an adult world, who develop a mutual trust and acceptance through an unlikely friendship. Filmed in black-and-white, this is a study of a social environment in London, from the director of such excellent movies as This Is Britain and Dead Man’s Shoes.

Bonus material on the DVD doesn’t amount to much, with some short interviews with the cast and crew. However, the extensive question and answer session with Shane Meadows is well worth watching – especially if you are a budding director.
