COMPETITIONS

The sci-fi horror comedy Grabbers is out to buy on Blu-ray and DVD now, and we’ve got a copy of the Blu-ray version to give to one of you!

Strange things are afoot on Erin Island and it’s down to the charming but heavy-drinking Garda Ciarán O’Shea (Richard Coyle, Pusher, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time) and his enthusiastic new recruit, Garda Lisa Nolan, (Ruth Bradley, Flyboys, TV’s Primeval) to investigate. Soon it becomes clear that there’s something big out there, and that it’s hungry and possibly extra-terrestrial. It’s time to rally the villagers, arm the troops…and head to the pub.

Grabbers also stars gay fave Russell Tovey (TV’s ‘Being Human’), Lalor Roddy (Hunger) and Bronagh Gallagher (Pulp Fiction, The Commitments).

Laura Dern picked up a Golden Globe for her role in Enlightened and now the Complete First Season comes to DVD on 14th January 2013 from HBO Home Entertainment, and we’ve got two copies of the 10-episode release to give away.

Written by Mike White (School of Rock, The Good Girl), ENLIGHTENED stars a critically acclaimed cast including Laura Dern (Little Fockers, Recount) in her Golden Globe®-winning performance as Amy; a self-destructive health and beauty executive who has a very public meltdown.

After three months of contemplation and meditation at a treatment centre in Hawaii, Amy returns to work rested and ready to pick up the pieces of her old life and reshape the world she left behind. That includes delivering well-meaning, but generally unwanted advice to her mother Helen (Diane Ladd, Rambling Rose, Wild at Heart), with whom Amy is now living; her slacker ex-husband Jimmi Levi (Luke Wilson, Old School, The Royal Tenenbaums) whose only solace comes from recreational drugs; and the crew of awkward co-workers Amy finds herself reassigned to.

The series follows Amy as she navigates an unconventional path between who she is, who she wants to be… and what everyone is willing to tolerate from her.

Lawless is released on Blu-Ray, DVD and to download on 14 January 2013, by Momentum Pictures, and to celebrate we’ve got two copies of the DVD and some great moonshine jugs to give away to two of you!

Set in 1920’s prohibition America, Lawless is the true story of the Bondurant brothers. Brazen and fearless, these young rural bootleggers became legendary criminals. The youngest brother, Jack (Shia LaBeouf), is ambitious and impulsive, the middle brother, Howard (Jason Clarke), is loyal but reckless and eldest brother, Forrest (Tom Hardy), leads the family with a silent determination. As the Bondurants’ illicit business and legend grows, so too looms bigger fish, and it’s not long before the brothers must face the consequences.

Lawless also stars Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Guy Pearce.

The sci-fi comedy, The Watch, is available to buy now on Blu-ray and DVD, courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, and we’ve got a copy of the movie on Blu-ray to give away.

Starring Ben Stiller (Tower Heist), Vince Vaughn (Dodgeball), Jonah Hill (Superbad) and Richard Ayoade (TV’s The IT Crowd) The Watch is an outrageous look at a group of guys who must dig deep to find their inner heroes when their neighbourhood is threatened.

Evan (Stiller), a middle class, suburban shop manager, lives a perfect life in the sleepy town of Glenview, Ohio until one night when one of his security guards is brutally murdered while on duty. Disillusioned with the local police force Evan takes solving the crime into his own hands and recruits four neighbours – knife-wielding police academy drop-out Franklin (Hill), British divorcee Jamarcus (Ayoade) and gadget-loving construction worker Bob (Vaughn) – into the ultimate ‘Neighbourhood Watch’.

Written by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg (Superbad), The Watch on Blu-ray and DVD includes a hilarious gag reel and twelve brand new deleted scenes deemed too rude for the cinema!

The meanest gargantuan creature-feature yet is set to arrive on DVD from Chelsea Films on 7th January 2013 – the Roger Corman-produced ‘Piranhaconda’. To celebrate we have an extra special *MONSTROUS* prize package to give-away which will consist of the following monster delights…

SAND SHARKS – A shark that swims in sand?! No, honestly! Sunbathing on a beach has never been the same since this came out earlier this year and I’m not sure whether that’s something to do with the sharks or Brooke Hogan’s (daughter of the mighty Hulk Hogan) acting…

DRAGON WASPS – The ultimate cross breed between timely jungle thrillers like “Predator” and “Anaconda” and giant critter delights such as “Eight Legged Freaks” and “Lake Placid”. Let’s put it this way, “Dragon Wasps” does for bees what “Arachnophobia” did for spiders!

and of course…
PIRANHACONDA – This is undeniably classic Corman. Who else has the ability to merge every single terrifying creature on Earth EVER and still create something so exhilarating it’ll have you begging for more Dr Frankenstein-like creations?!

The genre-mashing movie Gangsters, Guns & Zombies hits DVD on January 7th and to celebrate we’ve got two copies of the movie to give away, courtesy of Lionsgate.

A getaway driver for a group of hard core gangsters finds himself up against a slightly more unexpected enemy than the boys in blue when his latest job coincides with the start of a zombie apocalypse. After completing an armed robbery, getaway driver, Q, thinks that the most difficult job is behind him, at least until he notices that people have started to look and behave very strangely. What started as a simple job now becomes a fight for survival against the ever increasing Zombie horde.

His situation is worsened by the fact that his team are a bunch of nut-cases, one of them has been shot, the safe-house is already surrounded by police, and the getaway vehicle is running out of fuel. This fierce and fast-paced Brit horror pits the scariest bunch of gangsters alive against an army of the undead in the ultimate gangsters vs. zombie showdown!

Quartet is out in cinemas now – and to celebrate we’ve got two Quartet Gardening Kits to give away courtesy of Momentum Pictures!

Lifelong friends Wilf (Billy Connolly) and Reggie (Tom Courtenay), together with former colleague Cissy (Pauline Collins), are residents of Beecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Verdi’s birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for their home. But when Jean Horton (Maggie Smith), a former grande dame of the opera fallen on hard times, also Reggie’s ex-wife and the fourth and most celebrated member of their former quartet, moves into the home to everyone’s surprise, the plans for this year’s concert start to unravel. As old grudges threaten to undermine past glories and theatrical temperaments play havoc with the rehearsal schedule, it becomes apparent that having four of the finest singers in English operatic history under one roof offers no guarantee that the show will go on.

Quartet is Oscar® winning actor Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut from a screenplay by Oscar® winner Sir Ronald Harwood (The Pianist). Quartet also stars Olivier Award-winning Sheridan Smith (Legally Blonde, The Musical) and four-time BAFTA winner Michael Gambon (the Harry Potter series, Gosford Park).

Quartet was released in the UK and Ireland on 1st January 2013. Courtesy of Momentum Pictures we are running a competition for three of our readers to win a fantastic Quartet gardening kit. The kit includes a bag, gloves, trowel, secateurs and a water spray bottle.

If you’d like to trying and win one of the two kits we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on January 16th, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]

Jo Nesbo is one of the best-selling Scandinavian authors in the world having sold over 9 million books, so it’s little surprise the world of film has been interested in him. A few months ago the excellent adaptation of Headhunters hit the UK and now it’s the turn of Jackpot, which arrives on DVD on January 9th courtesy of Metrodome. And we’ve got three copies of the film to give away!

Rather than being based on a Nesbo novel, he came up for the story for this one, which follows Oscar Svendsen, who wakes up terrified and bloodied; a shotgun in his hands, in what was once a respectable strip joint near Svinesund, Sweden. He is surrounded by eight bodies, and police detective Solør has a gun aimed at his chest. Solør is convinced of his guilt, but Oscar persistently denies any wrongdoing.

Reluctantly Oscar starts relating the incredible story of four scruffy young men – Oscar (Kyrre Hellum), Thor (Mads Ousdal), Billy (Arthur Berning) and Tresko (Andreas Cappelen) – who won top prize in a soccer pool and suddenly found themselves 1,739,361 kroner richer. But it turned out to be difficult to divide the money by four.

If you’d like to trying and win one of the three copies of the exciting, playful and bloody comedy that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on January 15th, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]

More potent than a shot of Alabama moonshine, Eva Longoria and Billy Bob Thornton, star in The Baytown Outlaws, a super-charged, foul-mouthed and very bloody, Tarantino-esque action-comedy, directed and co-written by Barry Battles.

The Baytown Outlaws is out to own on DVD and Blu-ray from 26th December!

Courtesy of Universal Pictures (UK), we have extremely limited edition, one of a kind, exclusive T-shirt and a copy of the film on DVD to be won!

Meet the Oodies, a trio of redneck hillbilly brothers whose main source of fun – and only source of employment – is illegally enforcing several unwritten laws on behalf of the local corrupt sheriff. When their latest job goes disastrously wrong and ends in a massacre at the wrong address, the brothers are approached by Celeste, a witness to the mayhem, with a proposal. She’s willing to pay them $25,000 for the safe return of her godson, who has been kidnapped by her ex-husband. What she fails to tell them is that the man in question is a ruthless mobster who believes Celeste is dead, having previously arranged for one of his goons to pump her full of lead.

Unsurprisingly, what should be a simple rescue mission soon turns into a southern fried battle royale of epic proportions as the brothers fall foul of a seemingly endless parade of psychopaths and miscreants who want them dead, ranging from a gang of crazy-ass biker chicks and a pack of ruthless road warriors to Federal agents, crooked cops and some very angry Native Americans.

The new take on Total Recall, starring Colin Farrell, hits DVD and Blu-ray on December 26th, and we’ve gotten hold of a copy of the movie on Blu-ray, to give away. It includes not just the version released a few months in cinemas, but also an extended director’s cut version!

Prepare for non-stop excitement and pulse-pounding thrills in this explosive action thriller. Colin Farrell stars as Douglas Quaid, a factory worker who visits Rekall, a revolutionary company that can turn his superspy fantasies into real memories. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, the line between fantasy and reality blurs as Quaid becomes a man on the run and the fate of his world hangs in the balance. Co-starring Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston, Total Recall is bursting with mind-blowing action sequences and spectacular visual effects, the ultimate high-energy thrill-ride!
