The Final Destination series of horror films are based on an unproduced script from The X-Files, with each centered on the themes of determinism, predestination and precognition in relation to death (i.e. how to foresee, avoid or control it).

Toshiba BDX2000 Blu-Ray Player £89.99

Toshiba BDX2000 Blu-Ray Player

It's interesting to note that since HD-DVD lost the format war to decide what kind of high definition discs would be used, Toshiba (the main backers of HD-DVD around the globe) have entered the Blu-Ray market – with one of the best models currently available too.

The Toshiba BDX2000 Blu-Ray player features full 1080p playback and also supports both the Dolby True HD and DTS HD sound formats. It also has an SD card slot, which enables you to view digital content through the machine as well – plus it will play all of your standard DVDs with an upscaled picture quality.

Argos have this available for £89.99 – for more information, click here. I should probably also mention that you'll find a 12-month subscription to LOVEFiLM in the box too.

The Descent Part 2 (Blu-Ray) £9.95

The Descent Part 2 (Blu-Ray)

Though it's not as good as the original, The Descent Part 2 still has its scary moments – the fact that it also begins a mere two days after the events of the first film also works quite well (with a third outing set to continue not too long afterwards, I'd imagine).

This high definition release of the movie looks and sounds brilliant, plus comes with a fair few extra features too. These include an audio commentary with the director and some of the cast, four "making of" featurettes and 10 deleted scenes.

Cary Grant: The Signature Collection £6.49

Cary Grant: The Signature Collection

Cary Grant, who was actually christened the rather more boring name of Archibald Alexander Leach, starred in some of the best-loved films of all-time such as North by Northwest and An Affair to Remember – plus he was born in Bristol, which is nice.

Anyway, inside the Cary Grant: The Signature Collection boxset you'll find copies of "Destination Tokyo", "Arsenic and Old Lace", "Night and Day" and "North by Northwest", and the "Cary Grant: A Class Apart" documentary.

Pushing Daisies: The Complete First Season (Blu-Ray) £9.93

Pushing Daisies: The Complete First Season (Blu-Ray) contains some three cheap DVDs

Although it was well received by critics, sadly viewers weren't quite as excited by comedy drama series Pushing Daisies – it was cancelled midway through the second year, as ratings began to sink faster than the Titanic (it's worth pointing out that it's actually not a terrible show though).

The Pushing Daisies: The Complete First Season (Blu-Ray) boxset contains the first nine episodes in glorious high definition. Also included are a featurette looking at the making of the programme and some special interviews with the creators.

Amazon are selling this for £9.93 – click here for more details.

Predator: Special Edition Collection £4.99

Predator: Special Edition Collection

I knew it wouldn't actually happen, but the rumors that Arnold Schwarzenegger could star in another Predator film when he's still governing California sounded good anyway – pity that Danny Glover doesn't make an appearance in the new Predators movie too.

Anyway, the Predator: Special Edition Collection contains the double disc versions of both Predator and Predator 2. These are both uncut for the first time in the UK, and come loaded with special features.
