Coach Carter, Shaft And Rules Of Engagement Triple Pack £4.49

Coach Carter, Shaft And Rules Of Engagement Triple Pack

Samuel L. Jackson seems to have at least 100 films coming out every year, so to choose just three to make up a mini-collection is a job that’s almost as impossible as the one facing the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!

The Coach Carter, Shaft and Rules Of Engagement triple pack contains three decent films – although they are far from being his best work, each will definitely keep you entertained (especially the uplifting Coach Carter).

Kurt Cobain: All Apologies £2.49

Kurt Cobain: All Apologies contains two cheap DVDs that celebrate the life of a great musician

Kurt Cobain was an American musician who served as lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the grunge band Nirvana. After struggling with drug addiction and the media pressures surrounding him and his wife Courtney Love, Cobain ended his own life with a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head on April the 8th 1994 – although some have come to question whether this is true or not in the years following the tragedy.

Kurt Cobain: All Apologies is a tribute to the man and his music from those that he inspired. It also attempts to understand why he continues to be a role model for disaffected youth, via interviews with members of Nirvana, Cobain’s family, and media pundits.

The Land Before Time Collection £17.89

The Land Before Time Collection

Even though the original The Land Before Time film was produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Don Bluth, all of the subsequent sequels have no input from either of them. Pity, as they’ve gradually become worse and worse as time passes.

Inside The Land Before Time Collection you’ll find the first 11 animated films from the series. Believe it or not, but there’s actually now 14 of them, and a TV series has just aired as well!

Star Trek: The Animated Series £13.89

Star Trek: The Animated Series

All 22 episodes can be found inside this set, along with three audio commentaries and two brand-new featurettes on the making of the show and its place in Star Trek history.

Spooks: Seasons One To Five £9.96 Each

Spooks: Season One    Spooks: Season Two    Spooks: Season Three

Spooks: Season Four    Spooks: Season Five

If you’ve always wondered what goes on behind-the-scenes at the Security Service (otherwise known as MI5), then BBC drama series Spooks attempts to show you. Most of the events that happen on a regular day during this show probably don’t occur quite so often in real life – but who would want to watch a programme about paperwork?!?

Every DVD release comes loaded with special features, ranging from multiple audio commentaries to documentaries and deleted scenes. Basically, everything you need to know about pretty much the only show that’s been made in this country which comes close to matching American quality.

Click here to get Spooks: Season One, click here to buy Spooks: Season Two, click here to get Spooks: Season Three, click here to buy Spooks: Season Four, or click here to get Spooks: Season Five – all of which are £9.96 each at Tesco.

Secretary £3.29

Secretary

Secretary is a sadomasochism-themed romantic comedy-drama film which stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader, and is based on a short story from the novel "Bad Behavior" by Mary Gaitskill.

Sadly this is the version that comes without any special features. However, it’s also currently the only way to get the movie on DVD (the Special Edition has been deleted).

If you fancy this, click here to buy it for £3.29 from Powerplay Direct.

Tom Hanks Collection £7.43

Tom Hanks Collection

With such a decent amount of quality films to choose from his career, those that are included in the Tom Hanks Collection boxset may seem a little on the disappointing side – The Man With One Red Show in particular definitely isn’t a highlight of his work.

Alongside it are Bachelor Party, Big, That Thing You Do! and Road To Perdition. Extras wise, Bachelor Party is the only one to include anything in the form of deleted scenes, a featurette on the making of the movie, and an interview with the great man himself.

Hot Fuzz And Shaun Of The Dead Double Pack £6.73

Hot Fuzz And Shaun Of The Dead Double Pack

After the success of Channel 4 comedy series Spaced, the team behind the show decided to venture out into the murky world of cinema. The results thus far have been nothing short of fantastic – turning Simon Pegg into an unlikely global superstar in the process.

This Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead double pack contains the two movies they’ve collectively made so far. The latter is a zombie romantic comedy, whilst the former is a police comedy – both are great examples of classic British humour.

Doom And Serenity Double Pack £4.99

The Doom And Serenity Double Pack contains two cheap DVDs that are packed with extras

The interesting thing about this Doom and Serenity double pack is that one is a very average science fiction horror film, whilst the other is an excellent space western – but which is which (I’ll give you a clue – the good movie ain’t Doom!)?

There are tons of special features with both films as well. Doom has six featurettes on the making of the movie, and Serenity includes an audio commentary, deleted scenes, outtakes and four featurettes.

American History X (Blu-Ray) £9.93

American History X (Blu-Ray)

American History X is an Academy Award-nominated film that deals with racism. Although it didn’t perform all that well at the box office, it’s hard-hitting message, and quite graphics depictions of violence, have led to it gaining a bigger audience since its release on home video.

The high definition release of the movie isn’t due out until the 13th of April, but you can certainly guarantee that it will have picture and sound quality unmatched by any other version.

Click here to preorder American History X, on Blu-Ray, for £9.93 from The Hut.
