PIRANHA 3D review

Yeah, it's been out for ages but I've just seen it. In glorious, gratuitous 3D no less.

Obscurity Files #23 - Super Mario Bros

Obscurity Files aims to put the spotlight onto a series of films that time and audiences have otherwise forgotten. It's Mario's 25th birthday this week, so let's have a look back at the first time anyone tried to make a video-game movie. Today it's Super Mario Bros.

SCOTT PILGRIM SOUNDTRACKY GOODNESS

By now you all should have watched Scott Pilgrim vs The World at the cinemas, and whilst I did feel a little bit let down by the film (I blame my anticipation levels going off the charts), it had an undeniably awesome soundtrack.

Well Amazon.co.uk are doing an excellent offer this week where you can download the MP3 album for £5. Wave goodbye to tangibility and get with the 21st Century already!

BLU-RAY BOXSET OCTOBERFEST

This October might just be one of the best months for Blu-Ray releases yet, and almost certainly for Blu-Ray boxsets. Among the classics currently scheduled for release are...

Mercifully dropping the stupid Quadrilogy name and going for the much grander sounding Anthology, this bumper pack of Alien goodness should make its high-def debut on October 25th.


Amazon.co.uk and Play.com both have the price at £37.49, or there's a pretty cool (but expensive) special edition egg sculpture at Play.com for £89.99.

Also out on that day is probably the highlight of my year. Yes, on October 25th we finally get Back To The Future on Blu-Ray. Rumour has it that the new special features also includes some of the footage of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly. Words cannot express my excitement for this.


Amazon.co.uk have this at £27.97 and Play.com have it at the marginally more expensive £27.99. There's also a tin on Amazon.co.uk for £44.93 or on Play.com for £44.99. I ain't going to quibble over a few pennies, but I guarantee they would have sold more copies than the other if they'd ended the price in 88.

Depending on who you believe, this boxset is either out on the 25th as well (I hope not, that'd be a scheduling nightmare and murder on my bank balance), or more probably it's out on the 18th. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I've ever seen Robocop 3, and I don't think it really matters. But I'm looking forward to seeing the first one again and the second one still has its charms. If only they included the first films' TV edit from the mid 90's, where they substituted all the fuck you's for forget you's and all the asshole's for airhead's, then for comedic value this would have been a must buy.


Amazon.co.uk have it for £17.99, which is loads better than Play.com's £26.99. Play have got the correct release date though, so I don't know. If ever there was a series of films that would be ideal for a special edition tin sleeve, it would be Robocop, but they've not bothered with that for some reason.


Oh, and these are all released after my birthday, but there's such a thing as a late present. I'll forgive you.

Obscurity Files #22 - Wake Up, Ron Burgundy

Obscurity Files aims to put the spotlight onto a series of films that time and audiences have otherwise forgotten. With Steve Carell and Paul Rudd currently starring in the new comedy Dinner For Schmucks, I thought I'd take a look at them in the lost Anchorman story. Today it's Wake Up, Ron Burgundy.

Let The Poster Campaign Begin

There's been some fuss over the remake of Let The Right One In. Did it really need remaking? Is it really acceptable to pander to audiences who can't be bothered to read subtitles? The makers of the remake Let Me In have said that they're taking it back to the source material and putting their own spin on things, but there's no way they can avoid comparisons with the Swedish original. I thought I'd take a look at the poster campaigns to see how they compare...
