Happy Days: The Second Season £3.85

Happy Days: The Second Season

Running for ten years between 1974 and 1984, Happy Days presented an idealised vision of life in mid-50's to mid-60's America. It also blasted Henry Winkler to fame as "The Fonz", and even helped give Robin Williams come to the attention of the public (Mork and Mindy was a spin-off from Happy Days as well).

Inside the Happy Days: The Second Season boxset you'll find all 23 episodes that make up the second year. Sadly there are no special features, but I'm sure that fans of the show will be happy just to be able to see them all again!

Shigurui: Death Frenzy (Blu-Ray) £6.48

Shigurui: Death Frenzy (Blu-Ray)

Noted for its realistic graphic violence and nudity, Shigurui: Death Frenzy is a manga series based on the first chapter of the novel Suruga-j? Gozen Jiai by Norio Nanj?. Running for a total of 13 episodes, this is certainly something fans won't want to miss…

People are still unsure whether animation works in high definition, but I'm firmly in the "yes it does" camp – almost anything looks better in HD! This is no exception, and you'll be glad to hear that there are some interesting special features included as well (such as audio commentaries, production artwork and the ability to play each installment consecutively).

Amazon are selling Shigurui: Death Frenzy, on Blu-Ray, for £6.48 – click here for more details.

The Brad Pitt Collection £7.99

The Brad Pitt Collection

I could easily make a sexist comment and say that only women would be interested in The Brad Pitt Collection, but I'd be wrong to do so – almost all of the films in this set are very good indeed.

Contained in it are copies of Fight Club, Kalifornia, Mr & Mrs Smith, A River Runs Through It and Thelma & Louise (the latter two are a bit meh, but the rest are fantastic).

Ip Man (Blu-Ray) £7.99

Ip Man (Blu-Ray)

Ip Man is a semi-autobiographical martial arts film based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and the first person to teach it openly – one of his students being somebody called Bruce Lee (nope, I've never heard of him either).

This high definition release has the best picture and sound quality around, plus you also get some fairly decent extra features as well. These include nearly an hour and a half of interviews, "making of" and "From Ip Man to Bruce Lee" featurettes,and some deleted scenes.

Still Game: The Complete Series One to Six (Plus Christmas and Hogmanay Specials) £17.97


Scotland has been a hotbed for comedy talent over the years, with many more on the horizon (just take a look at Limmy and the team of Robert Florence and Iain Connell). Still Game is one such example of turning jokes from something only considered funny to Scots to a show which has proved incredibly popular across the whole of the UK.

Inside the Still Game: The Complete Series One to Six (Plus Christmas and Hogmanay Specials) boxset you'll find every episode that has been made thus far. Here's hoping we get more in the not-too-distant future…

Thirst (2009) (Blu-Ray) £9.99

Thirst (2009) (Blu-Ray) is one of those cheap DVDs you must see

Thirst (2009) is a Korean drama/horror film which is loosely based on the novel Therese Raquin by Emile Zola. It tells the story of a priest, who is in love with his friend's wife, turning into a vampire after a failed medical experiment – as you do.

The picture and sound quality are top notch, as you'd expect with a high definition release, plus there are also a couple of interviews with director Park Chan-wook not found on any other version.

HMV have Thirst (2009), on Blu-Ray, available for £9.99 – for more information, click here.

James Bond Blu-Ray Collection: Volume One £49.99

James Bond Blu-Ray Collection: Volume One

Instead of releasing the films in order of when they came out, James Bond makes his debut in high definition in the most random of ways. The first two 007 movies are included, but the other four films in the James Bond Blu-Ray Collection: Volume One boxset are from later on in the franchise.

Dr No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball, Live And Let Die, For Your Eyes Only and Die Another Day have never looked or sounded as good as they do here – it's just that it would have been nice to see Bond on Blu-Ray in chronological order. You'll also be glad to hear that all of the bonus material from the standard DVD Ultimate Editions is included as well.

Eddie Izzard: 7 £14.98

Eddie Izzard: 7

Considered by many to be one of the best stand-up comedians that this country has ever produced, Eddie Izzard has in recent times gone down the same route as many of his peers and tried out some straight acting roles – we'll still remember him (like Hugh Laurie) for his comedy though.

Inside the Eddie Izzard: 7 boxset you'll find all seven of his stand-up DVD's that have been released thus far. Unrepeatable, Definite Article, Glorious, Dress to Kill, Circle, Sexie, and Stripped are all worth spending some quality time with.

If you fancy this set, click here to buy it for £14.98 from Amazon.
